combustion to take place. If any of the following conditions are met, outside air must be
brought to the unit.
a) If installed in a tightly closed building that has less than one square inch of free
opening for each 1000 B. T .U .of heater input or less than 100 sq uare inches of free
opening.
b) If building has contaminants in the air or area is under slight negative pressure.
NOTE: Maximum Duct Length for inputs of 40,000 to 150,000 btu/hr is 45' minus
exhaust vent length. Deduct 10' for every 90° elbow and 5' for every 45° elbow
used.
Maximum duct length for inputs of 175,000 to 200,000 btu/hr is 30'. Total
length of heater including the length of intake and exhaust is not to exceed
110'. Shorten length of intake by 10' for every 90° elbow and 5' for every 45°
elbow used.
Example A

OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS
VENTCAj
RADIANT TUBE
GAS PIPING
a) Adequate supply of gas to the heater is required for it to produce the designed
amount of heat output. The gas meter must have a large enough capacity to handle
the extra consumption required by the heater.
b) The gas line must be of an adequate size to deliver the necessary amount of fuel to
the unit.
c) If there is any question concerning a) or b) call your local gas company for further
assistance.
f) A drip leg must be installed before the heater to prevent contaminating matter
interfering with the operation of the unit.
g) Check piping for leaks via pressure test. Install a 1/8-inch N.P.T. plugged tapping
immediately ahead of heater in gas supply. Use this location for test gauge. A soap
and water test can be used to verify location of any possible leak.
(END VIEW)
~
59
The maximum BTUH input capacity for each model is shown on the heater's rating plate
and in the specification table. This input must not be exceeded.
The input shown may be used in geographic areas where the elevation is from a to
4,500 feet above sea level. The BTU input depends on the calorific heating value of the
gas, orifice size, and manifold pressure. Orifice sizes are based on gas values of 1000
BTU/cu.ft. for natural gas and 2500 BTU/cu.ft. for LP (propane) gas.
Where gas is metered, the input rate may be determined by the following method,
Contact the gas supplier, public utility company or LP (propane) gas distributor to
obtain the calorific gas value of the gas being used. When checking the gas input rate,
any other gas burning appliances connected to the same meter must be completely off.
The heater should be allowed to operate for 5 minutes before attempting to check the
gas input rate.
To check flow rate, observe the one cubic foot dial on the gas meter and determine the
number of seconds required for the dial hand to complete one revolution (seconds to
flow one cubic foot).
To determine the number of seconds per cubic foot that is necessary to achieve the
correct input rate, use the following formula:
If when clocking the meter, the one cubic foot dial makes a complete revolution in less
time than was calculated that it should be derated. It if takes more time for the meter to
make one revolution than was calculated, the unit is underfired.
Refer to rating plate on heater for electrical specifications. All electrical connections
must be made by a qualified/licensed experienced electrician.
NOTE: All connections and wiring must be made in accordance with CSA C22.1
CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE PART 1 as well as/or local codes, conditions
and authorities. Refer to wiring diagrams on pages 62 & 63.
NOTE: Original wire is to be replaced with same type and size or equivalent. In the
USA refer to NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE ANSI/NFPA 70-1987 or most current
edition.

THERMOSTATS
DO NOT use thermostats that have heat anticipators in them. The heat anticipators will
cause the unit to cycle unnecessarily reducing its heating capacity, which can cause
incomplete combustion and the combustion by products to condensate. A low voltage
thermostat as described above can be purchased from the manufacturer of this heater.

Procedure:
NOTE: Oil smoke might appear off of exchanger tube after it heats up initial firing. Do
not be alarmed. The smoke is just a small amount of oil on the surface of the
tube from manufacturing. If smoke is excessive, open door and 'air out' the
building until smoke is removed.

The TRITON 2461D is a 24 VAC Microprocessor Based Direct Spark Ignition Control
designed for use in all types of heating applications such as gas furnaces, boilers, water
heaters and other similar appliances. The control utilizes a microprocessor to
continually and safely monitor, analyze and control the proper operation of the gas
burner. Value added features such as combustion blower control, LED diagnostics,
automatic one hour reset, and flame current test pins highlight the controls benefits.
OPERATION:
POWER UP I STANDBY
Upon applying power (24 volts) to 24 VAC/R, the control will reset, perform a self
check routine, initiate fulltime flame sensing, flash the diagnostic LED for up to four
seconds, and enter the thermostat scan state.
HEA T MODE
When a call for heat is received from the thermostat supplying 24 volts to THIWI the
control will check the pressure switch for normally open contacts. The combustion
blower is then energized and once the pressure switch contacts close, a pre-purge
delay begins. Following the pre-purge period the gas valve is energized and sparks
commence for the trial for ignition period.
When flame is detected during the trial for ignition, sparks are shut off immediately
and the gas valve and combustion blower remains energized. The thermostat,
pressure switch, and main burner flame are constantly monitored to assure the
system continues to operate properly. When the thermostat is satisfied and the
demand for heat ends, the main valve is de-energized immediately, the control
senses the loss of flame signal and de-energizes the combustion blower.
. If the established flame signal is lost while the burner is operating, the control will
respond within 0.8 seconds. The HV spark will be energized for a trial for ignition
period in an attempt to re-light the burner. If the burner does not light the control will
make two more attempts to re-light the burner. If the burner does not re-light, the
control will go into lockout and flash the LED 3-times. If flame is re-established,
normal operation resumes.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NO POWER TO HEATER...
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors
can cause improper and dangerous operation. A functional checkout of a replacement
control is recommended.

C) Poor ground at burner
~) Poor flame (check flame current)
Open access door and view the diagnostic red LED, located on the grey direct spark
ignition module.
FAUL T CONDITIONS
The LED will flash on for ~ second, then off for ~ second during a fault condition The
pause between fault codes is 3-seconds.
If power supply cycle are fluctuating beyond 50/60 cycles such as with an
unstabilized power supply from a generator, unit will not operate. If the circuit board
is faulty the unit will not operate.
If the airflow switch remains open for more than 3O-seconds after the combustion
blower output (L 1 & IND) is energized, an airflow fault will be declared and the
control will stay in this mode with the combustion blower off.
If the airflow signal is lost while the burner is firing, the control will immediately de-
energize the gas valve and the combustion blower will remain on. If the call for heat
remains, the control will wait for proper airflow to return. If proper airflow air is not
detected after 3O-seconds an airflow fault signal will be declared.
1 Check air intake and exhaust for blockage. Remove any blockage,
2. Check combustion air blower for dirt. Clean and/or replace as necessary,
3. If there is no blockage, disconnect fresh air intake at burner head (if equipped). Retry
for ignition. If unit does ignite, check to verify that duct size to unit is of proper size
and length and that there is no blockage (refer to 'OPTIONAL COMBUSTION AIR' on
page 46). Replace ducting as necessary to reduce amount of air restriction to unit.
72
4 If unit still does not ignite, disconnect exhaust vent at heater and retry for ignition. If
unit does ignite, check to verify that vent size to unit is of proper size and length and
that there is no blockage. (Refer to VENTING on page 49). Replace venting as
necessary to reduce amount of restriction.
5. If after 2, 3 and 4 are performed and unit still does not operate, replace air switch.
. If at anytime the main valve fails to close completely and maintains a flame, the full
time flame sense circuit will detect it and energize the combustion blower. Should
the main valve later close off completely removing the flame signal. the combustion
blower will power off.
.FENW AL DSI Module will attempt three ignition trials before going into lockout. The
valve relay will be de-energized immediately, and the combustion blower will be
turned off.
.Recovery from lockout requires a manual reset by either resetting the thermostat or
removing 24 volts, or removing the electrical power supply for a period of 5-seconds.
.If the thermostat is still calling for heat after one hour, the control will automatically
reset and attempt to ignite the burner again.
If units still does not operate, proceed as follows:
.Check flame sensor current. (see below)
.Check electrode for cracks and proper location. (see page 73)
SERVICE CHECKS
Proper location of the electrode assembly is important for optimum system performance.
The electrode assembly should be located so that the tips are inside the flame envelope
about % to 1 inch.
CAUTIONS
3. Exceeding the temperature limits can cause nuisance lockouts and premature
electrode failure.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is required once a year. Annually inspect your heater, before the heating
season starts. If unit is in a dusty environment, maintenance will be required more often.
If dust conditions are extreme, monthly or weekly maintenance may be required.
