modications.
WARNINGNon-approvedmodicationscancauseinjuryanddamage.
Contact your Fulton dealer before modifying the boiler.
WARNINGOnly qualied persons should be allowed to
operate and maintain the boiler and its equipment.Boilers
should always be drained through an approved Blowdown
Vessel.
WARNINGTheinstallationofGasappliancesincludingtheuesystem
should only be carried out by Corgi
Registered Enginee
CAUTIONHYDRAULIC TEST - RISK OF BRITTLE FRACTURE
Hydraulic testing requires specialist equipment and is nor-
mally only required by engineering surveyors / inspectors.
The material the boiler is manufactured from, has not been
impact tested, as it is not a requirement of BS2790 (boiler
constructionstandard). In order to ensure the material / pressure vessel
does not suffer from brittle fracture,
hydraulic testing should not be carried out
below 7OC.
WARNINGDANGER FROM HOT SURFACES
Steam Boilers have high temperature surfaces, that if touchedmay cause serious burns. Onlycompetentandqualiedpersonnelshouldworkonorinthe
locality of a steam boiler and ancillary equipment. Always
ensure the working area and oor are clearofpotential
hazards, work slowly and methodically.
DoNOTstoreinammablematerialsneartheboiler.
WARNINGDANGER FROM INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION
The importance of correct burner adjustment to achive low
emissions,safe,cleanandefcientcombustionisparamount.
Poor combustion, where unburnt gas forms carbon monoxide
is both a health hazard, and the potential risk to the boiler
from overheating, caused by re-burning of the unburnt gasinthesecondaryuepasses.
WARNINGThe importance of correct boiler water and feed water can-
not be over emphasised, see the relevant section in this
manual.
CAUTIONLOW FEED WATER TEMPERATURE
Low feed water temperature can result in thermal shock to
the boiler pressure vessel. Return the maximum amount of
condensate and if necessary pre-heat the feed water. If in
doubt consult FBW.
CAUTIONWATER SOFTENER and CHEMICAL TREATMENT
The chemicals required to operate the water softeners and
chemical treatment plants are NOT SUPPLIED by Fulton.It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure adequate
supplies of chemical are available at all times (including
commissioning).
Costly repairs could be required should the plantoperate without chemicals or the wrong dosage of
chemicals.

2.5 WATER SUPPLy
The quality of the water used in the boiler will affect the life and performance of the boiler. Feed water
contains solids and dissolved gases, these may promote encrustations of scale; foaming, priming,
surging; corrosion and pitting; or caustic embrittlement. To prevent this happening it is strongly
recommended that a reputable water treatment concern is consulted prior to commissioning the
boiler.
Note:seeSection5WaterTreatment.

2.9 WATER GAUGE SET (The design may vary from that illustrated)
Numbers may vary due to individual countries regulations.
Boilers are normally supplied with two complete water gauge sets.The water gauge blowdown
cock should be connected to the auxiliary blowdown line from the water column blowdown valve in soft
copper tubing. The connection to the gauge cock is DN8, 6mm (1/4in. BSP).
2.10 GAS SUPPLy
Verify that the burner is suitable for the type of gas being supplied. Ensure the piping from the meter
is the correct size, and that a gas cock is inserted in the line between the boiler and the meter. To
avoid pressure drops, eliminate all unnecessary bends and elbows in the pipework between the gas
meter and the boiler. A scale trap is provided on the gas train and should be used.

SECTION 33.1 GENERAL
ThefollowinginstructionsaregivenfortheguidanceoftheoperatorintheuseoftheJSeriesgasred
boiler and to provide adequate information to ensure that when the boiler is put into use it will be done
safely and without risk to health. Where original equipment Service Manuals are supplied, they must
be read and understood in conjunction with this manual. All Warnings and Cautions must be observed.
DRyING OUT TIME
The refractory casing of the boiler is made from a material that uses a high proportion of water
in the mixing process. Whilst some of the water is driven off by chemical reaction and the
initialtestring,therefractoryisstill'wet'whentheboilerisdelivered.Forafewdaysaftertheboileris
commissioned and in service, water will be seen running from the bottom of the casing and from
around some branch pipes.
This is perfectl normal and part of the dring process.
3.2 BOILER CONTROLS
ThefollowingbriefdescriptionofthecontrolsusedontheJSeriesgasredboilerisintendedto
provide the operator with a basic understanding of the operating principles, which is essential for the
continuedefcientoperationoftheboiler.
Note:Allthecontrolsareofthefail-safetypeandarewiredinseries;failureofanyonewillautomatically
shutdowntheboiler.
Low Water Relas and Feedwater Pump Relas. These relays operate in conjunction with probes
suspended in the boiler and water column to automatically maintain the level of water in the boiler
and to cut-off the burner should the water level fall to an unsafe level.
Steam Pressure Control(s). Located on the control panel box and connected to the steam pressure
gauge assembly by copper tube, the pressure regulator controls the on/off cycle of the burner,
shutting the burner off when maximum pressure is reached and switching it on when the steam
pressure falls.
Note:Aset-backpressurecontrolleristtedwhenmulti-boilersarettedwithasequencecontrol.
Burner Programmer. This is the main control in the panel box. The programmer in conjunction with
asensingdevicesupervisestheignitionsequence,provestheameissatisfactoryandnally
monitorstheestablishedame.Shouldanyfaultoccur,eitherduringtheignitionsequenceor
during normal running, the programmer will immediately go to lockout and the multibloc gas valve
will be closed.
Air Pressure Switch. Mounted on the burner scroll, this switch is operated by the pressure of air enter-ingtheburnerthroughthethroatofthescroll.Lackofair,orinsufcientpressure,willpreventthe
switch completing the circuit thus preventing the burner from operating.
Gas Head Assembl. Consists of a multibloc incorporating an integral governor, pressure switch and
gas valves or for larger boilers in addition to the internal components, an external pilot line with
it's own gas proving valves and governor.

3.3 INDICATOR LIGHTS
Indicatorlightsarettedtothecontrolpanelasanadditionalaidtotheoperator.
The meaning and operating sequence of these lights is as follows:
CAUTION
The control circuit live light is dirived from a single phase. It is possible that with the control phasedown or a defective bulb the other phases could be live. Alwas isolate the suppl before investigat-
ing an fault.
Start/Low Water Reset. This switch is used to start the boiler and to reset the low water alarm. Whenthe switch is pressed to initiate the start-up sequence, the low water alarm lamp also illuminates andthe low water audible alarm sounds. Keeping the switch depressed for approximately 2 secondscancels the low water alarm and initiates the burner start sequence.Illumination of this switch and sounding of the audible alarm at any other time other than at switchon indicates that the boiler has gone to a lock-out due to a low water condition. Once the water inthe boiler has been restored to a safe operating level, pressing the switch will reset the controls.
Circuit On. (Circuit Energised 40J - 60J) Indicates that power is being supplied to the control panelbox.
Low Water Alarm (1st. low water). This light will energise, when the boiler is switched on and the
water level is between 1st. low water and 2nd. low water. A light will illuminate and a pulsing alarm
sound.
Low Water Reset (2nd low water). The 1st. low water light and alarm are replaced by the 2nd. low
water light and a continuous alarm, indicated by the low water reset switch. The second alarm must be
reset,therstalarmwillbeautomaticallyresetbythereturntonormalwaterlevel.
Ignition. Indicates that the ignition transformer has been energised. This light will only be illuminated
forapproximately5-10secondsduringtheignitionsequence.
Gas Pressure Alarm. This light will illuminate whenever the gas is off, or below minimum inlet
pressure required by the European Standard for gas burners EN676.
This switch is factory set and should not be adjusted after the boiler has been commissioned.

(d) Afteramaximumofoneminutetheburnershouldbering,andthemaingaslightON.
(e) When the boiler has achived the required (set) pressure, the main steam isolating valve
should be slowly opened allowing steam to enter the system distribution pipework.
WARNING
The sstem should be raised to temperature slowl to allowfor expansion and to avoid thermal shoc and water hammer.
This can be achived by one of two methods.
1. Crack open the main steam valve and allow the system to heat up slowly, (minimum
15minuets)beforefullyopeningthemainsteamvalve.
2. Open the main steam valve when starting the boiler, allowing the boiler and system to
heat up together.

Theburnerisring.The water level is correct in the boiler.
The water pump is not running.
(b) Switch the pump off (Pump Interrupt) at the pump interrupt/pump run switch.
(c) OPEN the main blowdown valve.
(d) When the water level nears the bottom of the water level gauge sight glass, the low water alarm
should sound, the LOW WATER ALARM lamp should illuminate and the burner should stop
ring.Whenthishappens,CLOSEtheblowdownvalveIMMEDIATELY.
(e) Switch the pump to RUN at the main pump interrupt/pump run switch. The pump should run
andrelltheboiler.Whenthewaterlevelintheboilerrisesabovetherstlowwaterlevel,the
LOW WATER LEVEL lamp should extinguish, the audible alarm should silence and the burner
start sequence should commence automatically.
The pump should run until the boiler water level is correct and then stop.
3.6.5 Overriding (2nd) Low Water Chec
(a) Ensure the following:
Theburnerisring.
The water level is correct in the boiler.
The water pump is not running.
(b) Switch the pump off (Pump Interrupt) at the pump intrrupt / pump run switch.
(c) OPEN the main blowdown valve.
(d) When the water level nears the bottom of the water level gauge sight glass, the LOW WATER
ALARM lamp should illuminate, the low water audible alarm should sound and the burner
shouldstopring.
(e) Continue to blow down the boiler. As the water level falls nearer the bottom of the water level
gauge sight glass, the LOW WATER RESET switch should illuminate and the second audible
low water alarm should sound.
(f) CLOSE the main blowdown valve and switch the pump to RUN at the pump interrupt/pump run switch.Thewaterpumpshouldnowstarttorunandrelltheboiler.Oncelledtothecorrect
level the pump should stop. The low water alarm should continue to sound, the LOW WATER
RESET switch and LOW WATER ALARM lamp should remain illuminated and the burner should
NOT start.
(g) When the water level in the boiler is correct, the burner can be restarted by depressing the
LOW WATER RESET switch for a maximum of 2 seconds.
1. The First and Overriding low water checks can be carried out in one operation to reduce
the blowdown time and possible interruption to the steam supply.
2. Where the water level tests are to be carried out at full pressure, evaporate the waterdown to 1st. low level as in 3.8, blowdown the boiler from 1st. to 2nd. low water.
The purpose of adopting this procedure is to prevent steam and water being expelled
from the blowdown vessel vent because of prolonged blowdown.

3.12 DRAINING THE BOILER,
Boilers with manual blowdown valves
CAUTION
Your local regulations could state boiler water above 43OC must not be discharged into the drain.
ALWAYS check your local regulations.
1. Ensure the boiler is cold.
2. Isolate the boiler electrics at the isolator on the control box door.
3. Isolate the feed water tank and the feed water pump.
4. Open the main steam valve and the boiler drain valve.
5. Open the drain valve on the blowdown vessel.
6. Open all valves in the drain lines.
Boilers with automatic blowdown sstems
1. The boiler should not be under pressure.
The boiler should be cold.
2. Close the blowdown isolation valve.
3. Using a screwdriver located as shown A, push up and make a quarter turn,
this will lock the button in position and open the blowdown valve.
4. Usingtheblowdownisolationvalvetothrottletheow,draintheboiler.

3.13 LONG TERM SHUT DOWN
To store the boiler in a corrosion-free situation there are three practical solutions:
1. Fullyoodtheboilertoexcludeasmuchairaspossible.
2. Drain the boiler completely.
Remove all hand hole and manhole doors.
Open all gas/oil side access doors.
3. As (2) but also introduce a form of convection heating to the gas/oil and water side.
A very effective solution is to install a string of outdoor type waterproof light bulbs distributedthroughout the boiler.

1.1 Description
TheFultonmotorisedhigh/lowcontrolisdesignedtoimprovetheefciencyoftheboilerby
switchingtheringratefromhighre(whenthereislowsteampressureintheboiler)tolowre
(when the boiler reaches a high steam pressure).
The systems major components comprises; two stage gas valve, motorized air damper unit and
two stage steam pressure switch.
CAUTIONThe adjustment of the air gate control motor or the two stage
gas valve should only be carried out by qualied personnel,
incorrect adjustment could result in damage to the pressurevessel and/or the production of harmful combustion gases.
1.2 Operation
Withthesteampressureswitchpresettothehighandlowreoperationalrequirementsofthe system, and the boiler operating normally, steam pressure will gradually increase until the high
pressure limit is reached, the pressure switch will then switch the two stage gas valve and the air
dampermotortothelowreposition.
Theboilerwillcontinuetooperateatlowreuntilthesteampressurefallstothelowpressurelimit

water level surface when the heat is removed. The degree of collapse could be such that the water level willdisappear from the bottom of the site glass before the alarm sounds. Should this happen the second low
water level alarm should be checked by lowering the water level slowly by partially opening the main blow-
down valve.

Systems that return for example very little condensate during the day, but a high proportion at night are almost
impossible to control with any real accuracy. At best a compromise calibration will be achieved, where too much
blowdown at times may be the penalty.
When installing and commissioning a new Automatic TDS Control Blowdown System, it must be accepted that
the calibration will be a reiterative process, requiring continual sampling, testing, and re-calibration until stable
system operating conditions are achieved.
When purchasing an Automatic TDS Control Blowdown Sstem from Fulton Boiler Wors (Great Britain)
Ltd, the equipment would normally be supplied with the controller wired and tted to the boiler control
panel, with all the other parts supplied loose for piping and wiring on site b others, unless agreed
otherwise in our order acnowledgement.
Thepurchasepriceofthesystemsuppliedfullyorpartttedincludesforonesinglevisittocommissionthe
system once installed. Part of the commissioning process will be the initial calibration of the TDS sensor to the
water conditions prevailing at the time.Further re-calibration will be required until the water treatment regime has been established, and typical water
conditions have been achieved. Routine calibration checks will be required as part of the site maintenance and
water treatment monitoring.
The equipment, staff training required to carry out TDS sampling, and calibration can be provided by Fulton
BoilerWorks(GreatBritain)Ltd.ifrequired.Inordertoachievethemaximumbenetfromtheinstallationofan
Automatic TDS Blowdown System, it is strongly recommended that site personnel be provided with the neces-
sary equipment, and training in order for them to fully understand the function of the system, and the possible
consequences of their actions.
Note:- Where Automatic TDS Blowdown systems are provided as part of a skid mounted or packaged plant
room unit, they will be fully installed piped and wired.
e.g. Hourly blowdown rate required to maintain a boiler TDS of 2000
with a feed water TDS of 200 = 12%
Fora1000kg/hboiler125kg/h(125l/h)ofblowdownisrequired.
