Burnham Altac Series Combi Gas Boiler Owner's Manual

Burnham ALTAC Series Combi Gas Boiler

UNMATCHED SIMPLICITY

• No-touch combustion setup, engineered for a five-minute start-up
• Self-diagnostic boiler control
• Rate-based temperature reset, no outdoor sensor required –assesses environmental conditions, continually adjusting boiler operation for comfort and efficiency and long boiler life
• Three-side unobstructed service access – fast removal of front and side panels
• Simple 2-step natural gas-to-LP conversion with no kits or additional parts required
• Easy lift, wall hanging design (floor stand optional)
• Alta FastPipe (primary/secondary piping) included on combi models

NEXT-GENERATION ADAPTIVE COMBUSTION

• Continuous high-efficiency combustion without manual throttle or offset adjustments
• Low gas pressure capability (2.5 in. wc gas, 8.0 in. wc LP)
• Automatic self-calibration adjusts to variables in the environment, component wear, gas & vent pressure

HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMBI MODELS

• The world’s first 10:1, gas adaptive combi boiler – conserves fuel and extends boiler life
• Virtually instantaneous DHW response time
• Selectable economy or comfort/recirculation modes
• DHW temperature maintained under all demand conditions
• Integrated DHW hydro block with quick-disconnect flat plate DHW heat exchanger, boiler circulator, 3-way valve, and instantaneous DHW flow sensor

INDUSTRY-LEADING VALUE
