1. Caring For Your Brute LX

Your Brute LX will require very little

maintenance. However, as with any ne appliance

there are certain steps that should be taken to ensure

continuing optimum performance.

1.1 General Care

Keep the area around the Brute LX clean and

free from combustible materials, gasoline and other

ammable liquids and vapors.

The Brute LX must be completely isolated and

protected from any source of corrosive chemical fumes

such as trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene, chlorine,

etc.

Keep bottom and top openings on the boiler free

for proper ventilation of interior components.

Do not obstruct or block a free ow of air to the

boiler to ensure proper ventilation.

If desired, clean the jacket surfaces with a damp

cloth and mild detergent. Do not use ammable

cleaning materials.

If sidewall vented, keep the vent terminal clear

of obstructions — do not pile snow against the vent

terminal. Clean the intake screen often, and then

develop an appropriate maintenance schedule.

1.2 Annual Inspection of Flue and Vents

Visually inspect the vent pipe once a year. Should

any deterioration exist, have the affected parts replaced

by a qualied service person.

1.3 In the Event of a Power Failure

The Brute LX can not be operated during an

electrical power outage. If there is an extended

power outage with danger from freezing, then the

Brute LX (and all other water systems) should be

drained completely. When draining the boiler, turn

off main electrical disconnect switch. When placing

back in service, refer to Section 2 of this Manual for

instruction. All draining and lling must only be done

by a qualied service person.

1.4 Full Service Every Three (3) Years

In addition to the annual visual inspections, a

qualied service agency should conduct a detailed

inspection of all ue product carrying areas of the

boiler and its venting system.

“open” position, allowing air to purge from boiler

loop. Valve is normally in DHW position until

there is a call for Central Heat via “T-T” contacts.

3. If a water pressure regulator is provided on the

make-up water line, adjust the pressure regulator

to provide at least 12 psi (81.8 kPa) at the highest

point in the heating loop.

4. Open bleeding devices on all radiation units at the

high points in the piping throughout the system,

unless automatic air bleeders are provided at such

points.

Note that there is an air bleed located on the left

side of Brute LX, on top of the jacket.

5. Cycle the boiler pump on and off 10 times, 10

seconds on and 10 seconds off to remove all air

from the heat exchanger. Then run system and

appliance pump for a minimum of 30 minutes with

the gas shut off.

6. Using manual lever located on left side of 3-way

valve actuator, move from “open” position back to

closed position repeatedly. This process forces air

out of the internal DHW loop.

WARNING

Failure to remove all air from the heat exchanger could

lead to property damage, severe injury or death.

7. Recheck all air bleeders as described in Step 4.

8. Shut down the entire system and vent all radiation

units and high points in the system piping, as

described in Step 4.

9. Close make-up water valve and check strainer in

pressure reducing valve for sediment or debris from

the make-up water line. Reopen make-up water

valve.

10. Check gauge for correct water pressure and then

the system is ready for operation.

11. Refer to local codes and the make-up water valve

manufacturer’s instructions as to whether the

make-up water valve should be left open or closed.

12. After placing the unit in operation, the ignition

system safety shutoff device must be tested.

Shut off the manual gas valve, and call the unit for

heat. Main gas valve will be energized, attempting

to light, for four (4) seconds, and then will de-

energize. The unit will go into lockout after the

required number of trial for ignition periods.

Press the manual reset button on the boiler control,

or the user display, open the manual gas valve and

allow the unit to light. While the unit is operating,

close the manual gas valve and ensure that power

to the main gas valve has been cut.

13. Within three (3) days of start-up, recheck all air

bleeders and the expansion tank as described in

Steps 4 and 8 above.

2. Filling, Shut Down and Restart

2.1 Filling the Boiler System

1. Ensure the system is fully connected. Close all

bleeding devices and open make-up water valve.

Allow system to ll slowly.

2. Move manual lever on 3-way valve actuator to

Page 3

WARNING

Improper adjustment may lead to poor combustion

quality, increasing the amount of carbon monoxide

produced. Excessive carbon monoxide levels may

lead to personal injury or death.

WARNING

Do not use this boiler if any part has been under

water. Immediately call a qualied service technician

to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the

control system and any gas control which has been

under water.

FOR SERVICE

Contact your installing contractor, gas utility,

Bradford White dealer, or call Bradford White for the

nearest authorized representative in your area.

2.2 Shutting Down Brute LX

1. Turn off the main electrical disconnect switch.

2. Close all manual gas valves.

3. If freezing is anticipated, drain Brute LX and be

sure to also protect building piping from freezing.

All water must be removed from heat exchanger

and condensate trap or else damage from freezing

may occur.

This step to be performed by a qualied service person.

2.3 To Restart Brute LX

If drained, please refer back to section 2.1 of

this manual before restarting.

1. Turn off the main electrical disconnect switch.

2. Close all manual gas valves.

3. WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES.

4. Set the aquastat or thermostat to its lowest setting.

5. Open all manual gas valves.

6. Reset all safety switches (pressure switch, manual

reset high limit, etc.).

7. Switch on electrical power.

8. Burner will go through a prepurge period and

ignitor warm-up period, followed by ignition.

Figure 3. The User Interface.

3.1 Digital Display

The centerpiece of the User Interface is the Digital

Display. All of the needed parameters of the Brute LX

can be viewed and adjusted on this Digital Display. All

controls can be adjusted using the ‘Select’ button and the

Up and Down arrows.

3.2 Controller Modes

Three control modes can be displayed:

USER, INSTALLER, AND SERVICE.

3.2A The USER Mode

The User Mode is for a homeowner or service

technician to adjust the most common operating

parameters. In the USER Mode, when the boiler is

ON and operating normally, the USER can scroll Up

and Down using the Arrow Keys. Of the 7 viewable

parameters, 4 can be adjusted (depending on if they are

installed). The USER adjustable parameters are the Outlet

Temp, DHW Setpoint, and Outdoor Air Temp. If the

System Setpoint is installed, it can be adjusted, but then

the Outlet Temperature can no longer be adjusted.

These parameters can be adjusted in the USER

Mode by pressing the ‘Select/OK’ button (while in that

parameter) and then using the Up and Down arrows to

set to the desired temperature.

Once the desired parameter is displayed, always

press ‘Select/OK’ again to Save that setting.

3.2B The INSTALLER Mode

The Installer Mode is an extensive set of

parameters that can be changed to suit the individual

installation and should only be accessed by a trained

service technician or installer.

To access the INSTALLER Mode, hold

‘Select/OK’ and the down ˅ arrow key simultaneously

3. The User Interface and the

Digital Display

until U00 is displayed. Press ‘Select/OK’ again and then

release. Change the value to 15 and then press ‘Select/OK’

again. The INSTALLER Mode Parameters will then be

accessible by pressing the Up or Down arrows.

NOTE: For the full list of ‘Installer Mode

Parameters’ and full details on using the User Interface,

please see the Brute LX Installation and Operating

Manual (Document 1295-BW), available on

BradfordWhite.com

To change the value of that parameter, press Select/

OK button again. The parameter will blink. Pressing

the Up or Down arrows will increase or decrease the

parameter value. The value will be conrmed by pressing

Select/OK button and the blink will stop.

The parameter value will return to the previous setting

if you press the Cancel button.

Otherwise, Exit INSTALLER Mode by pressing and

holding ‘Select/OK’ for 3 seconds.

3.2C The SERVICE Mode

The Service Mode is intended for servicing and

troubleshooting of the unit by a Brute LX trained service

technican.

The ‘SERVICE’ Mode can be activated by pressing

and holding the ‘Select/OK’ button and ‘Up Arrow’

simultaneously for ve seconds. With an active call for

heat, the boiler will light and run at 100% of ring rate.

The boilers input can be adjusted in 20% rate increments

by pressing the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ Arrows. You can also

toggle between Maximum Rate and Minimum Rate by

pressing the ‘Select/OK’ button. To exit SERVICE Mode

depress and hold the ‘Select/OK’ button for ve seconds.

3.3 Ignition Control- Sequence of Events

1. Call for heat

2. Safety chain check

3. Fan starts.

4. Prepurge timer is started.

5. Pre ignition time of 2 seconds to check the ame

sensor operation and status.

6. Trial for ignition starts by energizing the spark

ignition and opening the gas valve. If ame is

sensed, the control starts the burner to satisfy the

demand. If the ame is not established the control

enters a ‘retry’ starting again from step 2. If ame

is not established after 4 attempts, the control will

lockout with an E12 error code.

7. Call for heat complete.

8. Gas valve off.

9. Fan and pump over run times active to purge the system.

The sequence is the same for DHW or Central

Heat modes. Upon a call for Central Heat, the 3-way

Page 5

Brute LX

valve will shift position, allowing boiler water to enter

the building’s heating loop. Only after the value shifts

position will the ring sequence begin.

3.4 Modulation Control

The control uses a PID algorithm to adjust

the ring rate of the boiler as the control point is

approached. The goal of the control is to operate at a

minimum ring rate to match the load on the appliance.

3.5 Pump Control

The boiler pump is active anytime there is a call for

heat applied to the control. When there is a central heat

call the system pump relay is active. If there is a DHW

call while the central heat call is active the system pump

turns off. This happens because of domestic hot water

priority, which forces the control to satisfy the domestic

water demand prior to the hydronic demand. When the

last heat demand is satised the boiler pump enters an

overrun time.

3.6 High Limit

The control uses a dual thermistor sensor to

monitor the Brute LX’s maximum temperature. The

high limit sensor is installed in the outlet water. A dual

thermistor sensor is used, so that the two temperatures

can be monitored and compared to conrm accuracy.

The control will automatically reduce the ring of the

Brute LX to prevent the high limit from tripping. The

high limit setpoint is not adjustable.

3.7 Stack Temperature

The stack temperature is a dual thermistor sensor

and is limit rated. The control compares each of the

temperature readings to determine accuracy. The stack

sensor is used as a limiting feature to avoid excessive

temperatures in the venting.

3.8 Domestic Hot Water Temperature

The domestic hot water temperature sensor is used

to control the DHW temperature. The DHW setpoint can

be adjusted through the Base / Home state and the User

Mode. On LX ‘C’ or Combi models, the DHW sensor is

pre-installed in the DHW exchanger. On LX ‘H’ or Heat

models the DHW can be can be controlled by an aquastat

or optional DHW sensor installed in an indirect tank.

connected. Repeat this process for Terminal B and

GND.

To congure the control system, identify which

boiler is going to be the “master” boiler for the cascade

system and navigate to installer parameter P06,

“Cascade Address”. Set the address to “0” and press

and hold “select”. When “auto cfg” appears on the

display press “select” to start the auto conguration

process. The auto conguration process will nd all

boilers connected to the “master” boiler and assign

addresses. When auto conguration is complete the

display should show “boilr #” where # is the total

number of boilers found in the cascade system.

The nal steps are to set the individual setpoints

in the cascade system, which include P07 “Cascade

Setpoint”, P08 “Cascade off Hysteresis” and P09

“Cascade on hysteresis”. These variables must be set to

the appropriate values for the installation. When setting

P09 “cascade on hysteresis” the value should NOT be

less than P08 “Cascade off Hysteresis” as P09 references

the off point (P07+ P08) as the starting point for the on

hysteresis. An example of this is shown below.

Correct settings:

P07 = 120°F

P08 = 10°F

P09 = 20°F

With these setting the modulation point is 120°F

The off point is 120°F + 10°F = 130°F

The on point is 130°F – 20°F = 110°F

Incorrect settings:

P07 = 120°F

P08 = 10°F

P09 = 5°F

With these setting the modulation point is 120°F

The off point is 120°F + 10°F = 130°F

The on point is 130°F – 5°F = 125°F

In this case the boiler is turning back on prior to

reaching the modulation point, which could lead to

short cycling.

3.9.1 Cascade Manual Conguration

In some applications it may be necessary to

congure the cascade system manually. To do this, the

boilers should be wired as shown in the Auto Cascade

section of the manual. Then each individual control in

the cascade must have a specic address assigned by

adjusting P06 “ Cascade address” on each boiler. To

start, identify the boiler that will be the “master” boiler.

Navigate to parameter P06 “cascade address” set to

“0” and press “Select” (do NOT press and hold select).

Then press and hold select.

Repeat this process for each boiler in the cascade

setting each address to a unique number.

The last step is to adjust all of the setpoints

for the installation application as shown in the Auto

cascade section of the manual.

3.9 Cascade Auto Conguration

To operate up to 8 boilers in cascade, the boilers

must be “daisy chained” together using Modbus

terminals A, B and GND, located on the boilers terminal

block. The wiring should be completed with at least

three wire shielded cable with ground. The ground wire

should be connected to a suitable chassis ground on one

end of the daisy chain only. Wire each boilers terminal

A in series with the next boilers terminal A until all are
