INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing an HS-Tarm EXCEL boiler.
Your boiler was manufactured by BAXI/HS-Tarm, a world leader in hot water (hydronic)
heating for over 70 years. The HS-Tarm EXCEL conforms to traditional high standards for quality
and reliability. It is truly state-of-the-art in high efficiency, clean-burning multi-fuel heating. When
installed and operated properly, your boiler will operate at over 80% efficiency on wood fuel and
83% to 87% on oil or gas. If treated properly and operated according to the guidelines in this
manual it will provide years of safe, dependable and economical heating.
The Tarm EXCEL boilers have been tested and listed by the Omni Test Laboratories
Inc. The test standards used are UL 391-1995, CAN/CSA B366.1-M91, UL726, ANSI Z 21.13-
2000, and CSA4.9-M2000 to satisfy code requirements in the United States and Canada.
This manual contains installation, operation, and maintenance guidelines for all models in
the HS-Tarm EXCEL series of boilers. Your heating system design and installation should be done
by a competent professional contractor.
NOTE: Installation must be done in accordance with local ordinances, which may differ
in some ways from this owners manual.
Please note that the installation instructions refer to specific makes of controls and
accessories. Equivalent makes and models of these devices may be used successfully. The
installing contractor is the best judge of a system's specific requirements, as well as of local
availability of different devices. However, be certain that no substitutions are made for the
standard safety equipment, control panel and relief valves that we have supplied with the boiler.
The installation of these devices is absolutely necessary for safe operation of the boiler and
protection of the heating system.
Every effort was made during the writing of this manual to produce a guide which would be
easy to understand and contain all pertinent information.
NOTE: 1. We urge you to thoroughly familiarize yourself with this manual before installing
