The SYNC - How it works...

1. Access cover - front

Provides access to the gas train and the heat exchanger.

2. Air intake adapter

Allows for the connection of the PVC air intake pipe to the

boiler.

3. Air

pressure

switches

The air pressure switches detect blocked flue/vent conditions.

4.

Air shrouds (1.0 Model only)

The air shrouds control air and gas flow into the burners.

5. Automatic

air

vents

Designed to remove trapped air from the heat exchanger

coils.

6. Blowers

The blowers pull in air and gas through the venturis (item

35). Air and gas mix inside the blowers and are pushed into the

burners, where they burn inside the combustion chamber.

7. Boiler

drain

port

Location from which the heat exchangers can be drained.

8. Boiler

inlet

temperature

sensors

These sensors monitor system return water temperature. If

selected as the controlling sensor, the control

module adjusts the boiler firing rate so the inlet temperature

matches the set point.

9. Boiler

outlet

temperature

sensors

These sensors monitor boiler outlet water temperature. If

selected as the controlling sensor, the control

module adjusts boiler firing rate so the outlet temperature

matches the set point.

10. Burners (not shown)

Made with metal fiber and stainless steel construction,

the burners use pre-mixed air and gas and provide a

wide range of firing rates.

11. Condensate drain connection

Connects the condensate drain line to a 1/2" PVC union.

12. Control modules

The control modules respond to internal and external signals

and control the blowers, gas valves, and pumps to meet the

heating

demand.

13. Electronic display

Digital controls with touch screen technology and full color

display.

14. Flame inspection windows

The quartz glass windows provide a view of the burner

surfaces and flames.

15. Flame sensors

Used by the control module to detect the presence of burner

flame.

16. Flap valves

Prevents recirculation of flue products when only one burner is

running.

17. Flue gas sensors

These sensors monitor the flue gas exit temperature. The

control modules will modulate and shut down the boiler if the

flue gas temperature gets too hot. This protects the flue pipe

from

overheating.

18. Flue pipe adapter

Allows for the connection of the PVC vent pipe system to the

boiler.

19. Gas connection pipe

Threaded 1½" pipe connection. This pipe should be

connected to the incoming gas supply for the purpose of

delivering gas to the boiler.

20. Gas shutoff valves (inside unit)

Manual valves used to isolate the gas valves from the burners.

21. Gas shutoff valve (outside unit)

Manual valve used to isolate the gas valve from the gas supply.

22. Gas valves

The gas valves sense the negative pressure created by the

blowers, allowing gas to flow only if the gas valves are

powered and combustion air is flowing.

23. Heat exchanger access covers

Allows access to the combustion side of the heat

exchanger

coils.

24. High gas pressure switches

Switches provided to detect excessive gas pressure.

25. High limits

Devices used to monitor the outlet water temperature. If the

temperature exceeds its setting, they will break the control

circuit, shutting the boiler down.

26. Ignition electrodes

Provides direct spark for igniting the burners.

27. Line voltage junction box

The junction box contains the connection points for the line

voltage power and all pumps.

28. Line voltage wiring connections (knockouts)

Conduit connection points for the high voltage junction box.

29. Low gas pressure switch

Switch provided to detect low gas pressure.

30. Low voltage connection board

The connection board is used to connect external low voltage

devices.

31. Low voltage wiring connections (knockouts)

Conduit connection points for the low voltage connection board.

32. Low water cutoff device (LWCO)

Device used to ensure adequate water is supplied to the boiler

and in the event of inadequate water levels, will ensure the boiler

will shut down.

33. Power switch

Turns 120 VAC ON/OFF to the boiler.

34. Pump relay boards

The pump relay boards are used to connect the boiler, system

and Hot Water Generator (HW) pumps.

35. Relief valve

Protects the heat exchangers from an over pressure condition.

The relief valve will be set at 50 PSI.

36. Reset switch

Reset switch for the low water cutoff. Hold for 10 seconds to

reset.

37. Stainless steel heat exchangers

Allows system water to flow through specially designed coils for

maximum heat transfer, while providing protection against flue

gas corrosion. The coils are encased in a jacket that contains the

combustion

process.

38. Temperature and pressure gauge

Monitors the outlet temperature of the boiler as well as the

system water pressure.

39. Test switch

Test switch for the low water cutoff. Hold for 10 seconds to

test.

40. Top panel

Removable panel to gain access to the internal components.

41. Venturis

The venturis control air and gas flow into the burners.

42. Water inlets

Two 2" NPT water connections that return water from the

system to the heat exchangers.

43. Water outlets

A 2½" NPT water connection that supplies hot water to the

system.

44. O-temp switch (located underneath access cover)

Used to detect excessive temperatures on the upper coil of the heat

exchanger.
