converting gaspack airhandler to OWB boiler pack
« on: November 04, 2010, 09:46:11 PM »

We're installing a Hardy in the next few weeks for Dad.. Probably an H4. He's headed down to make the downpayment.

This is a 150yr old farmhouse.  We have a Heil N8MPN100F14 gaspack airhandler assembly in the basement,which we intend to convert for the OWB.

We've already removed the gas pack assembly from the airhandler, and are putting a Hardy large size radiator in it (largest that will fit).
 
The issue is this:

We anticipate the airhandler will 'lockout' as it will not see a flame on the flame sensor (which is there).

How do we bypass the flame sensor on the circuit board? Is there a way to 'trick' the controller into seeing flame all the time, or is there a thermal system one can drop in which will mimic a flame sensor?

You should be able to run the unit in fan only mode with the outdoor boiler. No need to worry about flame sensor and such.
