2. Plenum Sensor The Matrix is equipped with a plenum temperature sensor that must be field installed in the supply plenum and wired to the furnaces external terminal strip When installed the Matrix fan control displays the plenum temperature and will use it to detect problems in the supply of heat to the space Call for Circulating Fan 24VAC G Matrix operates at the programmed air circulation rate according to the FAN setting in the Fan blue controller 400 1600 CFM If HRV is set to See 8 2 Fan Controller the HRV will ventilate at the low Continuous ventilation rate Call for Dehumidification 24 DH Matrix operates at the minimum air circulation rate 400 CFM HRV will ventilate at the high Override ventilation rate Call for Cooling Fan 24VAC 9 Y1 Matrix operates at the prescribed air circulation rate Y 1x10 CFM See 8 2 Fan Control HRV will not operate during a call for cooling unless there is a concurrent call for DH Dehumidification or G Continuous and HRV is set to ON Call for Cooling Fan 24 Y2 Matrix operates at the prescribed air circulation rate Y2x10 CFM See 8 2 Fan Control HRV will not operate during a call for cooling unless there is a concurrent call for DH Dehumidification or G Continuous and HRV is set to ON 10 2 Duct Sizing When sizing ductwork a maximum flow velocity of 800 fpm is Table 10 3 Maximum Air Flow Rates desired Table 1
3. IMPORTANT Boiler system cleansers and corrosion inhibitors must not be used to flush contaminants from water heaters or potable water systems 16 1 Combustion Chamber Cleaning Procedure Units operating with LP Gas or in an industrial environment will have to be cleaned a minimum of once per year Other applications will require the combustion chamber to be cleaned after the first year of operation with subsequent cleanings scheduled based on the condition of the combustion chamber at the time Unless a step 1s identified as model specific the following combustion chamber cleaning procedure is the same for all models IMPORTANT Crystalline Silica Read carefully the warnings and handling instructions pertaining to Refractory Ceramic Fibers before commencing any service work in the combustion chamber Take all necessary precautions and use recommended personal protective equipment as required l Initiate a post purge cycle to clear any gas from the combustion chamber then turn gas valve off 2 Access the combustion chamber by removing the aluminum burner door assembly of the appliance Remove the insulation disc P N 83112 located in the back of the combustion chamber to avoid damaging it during the cleaning process The disc is held in place with a 2 5mm Allen head screw 4 Usea vacuum with a high efficiency filter to remove any loose debris or dust 5 Wetthe inside of the combustion chamber with water Use a garden hose with a trigge
4. Throttling Valve Installed a throttling valve after the mixing valve to regulate the maximum hot water flow rate The Matrix is limited to a firing rate of 150 therefore excessive flow rates will result in cooler hot water temperatures Drain and Isolation Valves Install drain and isolation valves on the inlet and outlet of the brazed plate heat exchanger as shown in Figures 7 1 and 7 2 so it can be flushed free of possible build up caused by dirt or hard water Hard Water To prevent the formation of scale on the inside of the brazed plate heat exchanger and other components in the domestic hot water system water with hardness higher than 50 ppm Calcium Carbonate must be treated with a Water Softener prior to entering the appliance Plugging of the domestic system by scaling or accumulation of dirt is not the responsibility of NY Thermal Inc and suitable steps shall be taken to avoid it 24 _Matrix Installation and Operation Instructions Cleaning Brazed plate heat exchangers operate with high turbulence flow even at low flow rates This high turbulence keeps small particles in suspension minimizing fouling and scaling However in some applications the fouling tendency can be very high e g when using extremely hard water at high temperatures In such cases it is always possible to clean the exchanger by circulating a cleaning liquid Use a tank with weak acid 5 phosphoric acid or if the exchanger is frequently cleaned
