CHAPTER 11 - START-UP PROCEDURES
4. Is an external limit (if applicable) open? Ensure the
external limit is reset to the closed position.
5. Are the gas supply valves open at the unit and me-
ter?
6. Is incoming gas supply pressure at the unit more
than 5”w.c. and less than 13” w.c. with all gas appli-
ances ON and OFF.
7. Are the heating thermostats set above room tem-
perature?
If none of these conditions correct the problem, con-
tact Triangle Tube Technical Support.
11.3. Check the INSTINCT and System
11.3.1 Check Boiler Piping.
• Check Boiler system piping and components for
leaks. If found, shut down the unit and repair im-
mediately.
• Purge any remaining air from the system. Air in the
system will interfere with circulation, creating heat
distribution problems and noise.
11.3.2 Check Vent and Combustion Air Piping.
• Check for a gas-tight seal at every connection and
seam of the vent and combustion air piping.
Venting system must be sealed gas-tight to
prevent flue gas spillage and carbon mon-
oxide emissions, which will result in serious
injury, or death.
11.3.3 Verify Carbon Monoxide Detector
Verify that at least two (2) carbon monoxide detectors
are installed and operating properly. One must be in-
stalled in the mechanical room where the INSTINCT is
located and another installed in the living area outside
the bedroom(s).
DANGER
11.1. Final Checks Before Start-Up
Ø Read Chapter 9 on page 51 regarding the oper-
ation of the CTRLMax Boiler Management System.
Ø Verify the INSTINCT and the boiler system are full
of water and all system components are correctly
set for operation, including the minimum ow rate
through the boiler, see specications in Chapter
19 on page 101..
Ø Verify Start-up Preparation items outlined in Chap-
ter 10 on page 67 have been completed.
Ø Verify all electrical connections are correct and se-
curely fastened.
Ø Inspect vent and combustion air piping for signs
of deterioration from corrosion, physical damage or
sagging. Verify combustion air and vent piping are
intact and correctly installed and supported. Refer-
ence the INSTINCT Vent Supplement.
Ø Verify burner conguration - Propane only.
• Check for proper labeling on the venturi and
the rating label for propane conguration.
• If there is doubt on the burner conguration,
remove the venturi and check for proper pro-
pane gas orice sizing on venturi labeling. Refer
to Section 7.3.2 on page 42 for orice sizes.
Refer to Fig 16, Fig 17 or Fig. 28 on page 44 for
location of the propane gas orice.
Ø Ensure the Condensate Drain Assembly is lled
with water.
11.2. INSTINCT Start-Up
1. Turn ON the electrical supply/service to the unit.
Touch the ON-OFF button located on the front con-
trol panel to the OFF position.
2. Read and follow the Operating Instructions out-
lined on following page.
If INSTINCT Does Not Start Correctly
1. Check for loose electrical connections, blown fuses
on control module, or an open service switch.
2. Verify CH and DHW operation is enabled. A radiator
or faucet icon with an X through it indicates that
function is disabled.
3. Check the system pressure in the Boiler Information
Menu by following the instructions in Section 9.14
on page 61.
