SECTION 3: START SEQUENCE
SECTION 3: START SEQUENCE
3.1 Introduction The information in this section provides a guide to starting the Benchmark Boiler using the Edge Controller. It is imperative that the initial startup of this unit be performed by factory trainedpersonnel. Operation prior to initial startup by factory trained personnel may void the equipment warranty. In addition, the following WARNINGS and CAUTIONS must always be observed.
TEMOSO!
· All of the installation procedures in the Benchmark Edge INSTALLATION Manual (OMM-136) must be completed bef ore the initial start-up of the unit.
· Electrical voltages up to 120 VAC (BMK750 ­ 2000) and 208 or 460 VAC(BMK2500 ­ 5000N) or 208, 460 or 575 VAC (BMK5000 & 6000) and 24 volts AC may be used in this equipment. It must be serviced only by f actory certif ied service technicians.
· Do not attempt to dry f ire the unit. Starting the unit without a f ull water level can seriously damagetheunit and may result in injury to personnel or property damage. This situation will void any warranty.
· Initial startup of the unit must be perf ormed by AERCO f actory trained personnel. Operation prior to initial startup by f actory trained personnel may void the equipment warranty. In addition, the f ollowing WARNINGS and CAUTIONS must be observed at all times .
3.2 Start Sequence When the Edge Controller Enable/Disable switch isset totheEnable position, it checks allpre-purge safety switches to ensure they are closed. These switches include:
· High Water Temperature switch · High Gas Pressure switch · Low Gas Pressure switch · Low Water Level switch · Safety Shut-Off Valve (SSOV) Proof of Closure (POC) switch
NOTE: The Blocked Inlet and downstream Blower Proofswitches are not checked priorto starting thepre-purge.
If all of the above switches are closed, the READY light (above the Enable/Disable switch)willlight when the switch is in the Enable position and the unit will be in the STANDBY mode.
NOTE: If any of the Pre-Purge saf ety device switches are open, or the required conditions arenot observed throughout the start sequence, appropriate f ault messages will be displayed.
When there is a demand for heat, the following events occur: 1. The Controller’s red DEMAND LED status indicator will light. 2. The unit checks all five pre-purge safety switches listed at the beginning of this section.The Edge
Controller’s ignition sequence screen walks you through the ignition screensand demonstrates(or highlights) which switches are not met. SSOV locations are shown in Figure 3-1a through 3-1d.

SECTION 4: INITIAL START-UP
SECTION 4: INITIAL START-UP
4.1 Initial Start-Up Requirements The following are the prerequisites for the initial start-up of the Benchmark boiler:
· Complete the installation per the Benchmark Edge: INSTALLATION Manual (OMM-0136), including gas supply piping, vent installation and condensate drain piping. Starting a unit without proper piping, venting, or electrical systems may void the product warranty.
· Set proper controls and limits (see Section 2 or Section 6 in the Edge Controller Manual). Initial start-up consists of the following:
· REMOVE THE AIR FILTER BAG BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT. Combustion calibration (Section 4.4: Combustion Calibration)
· Test safety devices (Section 5: Safety Device Testing) Start-up must be successfully completed before putting the unit into service. The start-up instructions below should be followed precisely in order to operate the unit safely and athigh thermalefficiency and low flue gas emissions.
Initial unit start-up must be performed by AERCO factory trained personnel, whoare trained inthe startup and service of Benchmark boilers.
An AERCO GasFired Startup Sheet, included with eachBenchmark unit,mustbe completed foreach unit for warranty validation and a copy must be returned promptly to AERCO via e-mail at: STARTUP@AERCO.COM.
TEMOSO!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRY FIRE THE UNIT. Starting the unit without a f ull water level can seriously damage the unit and may result in injury to personnel and/or property damage. This situation will void any warranty.
REMOVE THE AIR FILTER BAG BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT.
NOTE: AERCO recommends that the Standby Blower Voltage parameter bekept at 2.00 volts (thedefault set at the f actory) to prevent f lue gas recirculation. To check, go to the Controller’s Main Menu Advanced Setup Performance FireControl Operating Control and verif y that the Standby Blower Voltage parameter is set to 2.00 V. However, individually vented units in positive pressure boiler rooms may set Standby Blower Voltage between 2.00 and 0 volts to compensate.

SECTION 4: INITIAL START-UP
4.2 Tools & Instruments For Combustion Calibration
To properly perform combustion calibration, the proper instruments and tools must be used and correctly attached to the unit. The following sections outline the necessary tools andinstrumentation as well as their installation.
4.2.1 Required Tools & Instrumentation The following tools and instrumentation are necessary to perform combustion calibration:
· Digital Combustion Analyzer: Oxygen accuracy to ± 0.4%; CarbonMonoxide(CO) andNitrogen Oxide (NOx) resolution to 1 PPM
· 0 to 16 inch W.C. (0 to 4.0 kPa) manometer or equivalent gauge and plastic tubing · 1/4-inch NPT-to-barbed fittings for use with gas supply manometer · Small and large flat blade screwdrivers · Tube of silicone adhesive
4.2.2 Installing Gas Supply Manometer A 16″ W.C. (4.0 kPa) gas supply manometer (or gauge) is used in the following ways:
· Mounted on the upstream side of the SSOV to verify that the gas supply pressure iswithin the required range of 4″ W.C. and 14″ W.C.
· Mounted on the downstream side of the SSOV to monitor the gas pressure during the Combustion Calibration procedure, described in Sections4.4.1 (NaturalGas)and 4.4.2(Propane).

SECTION 4: INITIAL START-UP
4.3 Benchmark 5000 & 6000 Pilot Flame Ignition Benchmark 5000 and 6000 boilers are equipped with an interrupted pilot ignition system. The pilot is ignited by a spark discharge within the Pilot Burner inside the combustionchamber.Theinput of the Pilot flame is approximately 18,000 BTU/hr. (5.3 kW). The Pilot Burner flame will stay ignited until themain Burner flame has stabilized and FLAME PROVEN appears on the Controller’s display.
The Pilot gas supply regulator reduces the supply pressure as follows: · On standard pressure models, it reduces line pressure to 4.9″ W.C. (1.2 kPa). · On Low Gas Pressure models, it reduces line pressure to 2.0″ W.C. (0.5 kPa).
The Pilot Burner should be inspected at the beginning of each heating season, or every 6 monthsof continuous operation. It is constructed of high quality, heat resistant stainless steel, however some darkening of the metal is expected. No adjustment of the Pilot should be required, however the gas pressure downstream of the regulator should be checked if an ignition issue is encountered.Refer to Figure 4-1 for test port location.
The Pilot Burner flame is proven by two Pilot Flame Detectors, located aboveandbelow thePilot Burner. These are optical sensors inserted into tubes with quartz windows; they observethe Pilotthrough holes in the refractory insulation. They have a red LED which changes from flashingtosteady-ON when they encounter the flicker of a flame that meets or exceeds the internal sensing threshold. (Only oneof the two detectors need to sense the pilot flame throughout the ignition period). The holesin therefractory should be checked annually to ensure that the path to the Injector-Ignitor is clear.
NOTE: The Pilot Flame Detectors switch the signal to neutral when the f lame is proven.
4.4 Fuel Types and Combustion Calibration All BMK models are preconfigured at the factory to use either natural gasorpropane gasandareavailable in dual fuel versions (natural gas and propane) (see Section 4.6). Both fuel types require different combustion calibration values, so be sure to follow the instructions for the fuel being used.
· Natural Gas combustion calibration: Section 4.4.1 · Propane combustion calibration: Section 4.4.2
4.5 Combustion Calibration
The Benchmark boiler is combustion calibrated for Standard NOx emissions(<20ppm).Forjurisdictions that require Ultra-Low NOx operation (<9 ppm), see Table 4-2 for details. The gas pressure mustbe within the ranges shown in Table 4-2 for each model of boiler at full fire.
Recalibration as part of initial start-up is necessary due to changes in thelocalaltitude, gasBTUcontent, gas supply piping and supply regulators. Combustion Calibration Test Datasheetsare shipped witheach unit. These sheets must be filled out and returned to AERCO for proper Warranty Validation.
It is important to perform the combustion calibration procedure below to provide optimum performance and keep readjustments to a minimum.

Combustion calibration and AERtrim can both alter the voltage sent to the blower and can thus interfere with each other. If AERtrim is enabled, and a change is made to any calibration point during combustion calibration, you must make a corresponding chang e to the same calibration point in AERtrim (see Section 9.4: AERtrim O2 Sensor Auto Calibration). If you fail to make the change in AERtrim, AERtrim may ignore the combustion calibration value and adjust the O2 to the AERtrim value instead.
4.5.1 NATURAL GAS Manual Combustion Calibration
These instructions apply only to units running NATURAL GAS.
1. Ensure the Edge Controller’s Enable/Disable switch is set to Disable. 2. Open the water supply and return valves to the unit and ensure that the systempumpsarerunning. 3. Open the NATURAL GAS supply valve to the unit.
4. Turn external AC power to the unit ON. 5. On the Controller, go to: Main Menu Calibration Manual Combustion. If necessary,entera
technician level password.
6. The first Manual Combustion Calibration screen appears. Complete the threestepslisted before continuing with the instructions below. In addition, if your unit is running AERtrim, you mustturn that feature off before continuing, as AERtrim will interfere with combustion calibration.

Figure 4-4: First Manual Combustion Calibration Screen
7. Connect the gas pressure manometer to the upstream side of the gas train’s SSOV (seeSection 4.2.2) and then connect the Combustion Analyzer and Multimeter (per Section 4.2.3) and ensure that the heating loop is capable of dissipating sufficient heat at full fire.
8. Verify that the incoming (upstream) gas pressure to the unit is within the allowable range(see the Benchmark Gas Supply Guide (TAG-0047).
9. Once you have completed the previous step, move the manometer (or use asecondary one)tothe downstream side of the SSOV and press Next to continue.

16. With the valve position still at 100%, insert the combustion analyzer probe into the exhaust
manifold probe opening (see Figure 4-2a ­ 4-2c in Section 4.2.3) and allow enough time for the combustion analyzer reading to stabilize.

17. Compare the combustion analyzer’s oxygen (O2) reading to the O2 value in the Readingcolumn (Figure 4-6). If they differ, go to the Main Menu Calibration Input/Output O2 Sensor screen and adjust the O2 Offset parameter, up to ±3%, to make the on-board O2sensor match the value from the combustion analyzer. If your combustion analyzer is correctly calibrated,and theonboard O2 sensor cannot be made to match the analyzer, the sensor may bedefective andneed tobe replaced.

18. Compare the O2 value in the Target and Reading columns. If they don’t match, adjust theBlower
Moqtage until the O2 value in both columns match; use either the + or ­ controls, or press on the field and type the value directly.

19. If adjusting the blower voltage is not sufficient to get the O2 Reading column to match theTarget column, then repeat Step 15 to adjust the gas pressure up or down within the range shown inthe table, then repeat Step 18. Continue repeating Steps 15 and 18 until the gas pressure iswithinthe range in Table 4-1 and the O2 Reading column matches the Target column.
20. Enter the downstream manometer’s gas pressure reading in the Downstream GasPressurefield. Note, this field appears only when Valve Position % = 100%.
21. Compare the measured nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) readings tothe Target values in Table 4-2 (reference only). If you chose the NOx <=9 ppm in step 9,use the valuesin the Ultra-Low NOx columns. If you are not in a “NOx-limited” area and/or do not have a NOx measurement in your analyzer, set the O2 to the value in the Standard NOx column below.

26. If the oxygen level at the lowest valve position is too high, and the Blowervoltageisattheminimum value, you can adjust the TAC screw, which is recessed in the topof theAir/Fuel Valve(seeFigure 43). Rotate the screw 1/2 turn clockwise (CW) to add fuel and reduce the O2tothe specifiedlevel. Recalibration MUST be performed again from 60% or 50% down to the lowest valve position after making a change to the TAC screw.

This completes the NATURAL GAS combustion calibration procedure.
