Raypak 514-824 Pressure Switch Adjustment, TWO Speed Pumps, High Limits, High Limit Removal

PRESSURE SWITCH

The pressure switch, or heater actuator, insures that the heater operates only when the filter pump is in operation. It is factory set at 1.75 PSI for deck level installations. When the heater is located below the level of the spa or pool it may be necessary to reset the pressure switch to compensate for the no-flow static head. If it is necessary to reset the pressure switch, we recommend the following procedure:

PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT:

1.With pump and heater on, turn adjustment knob (clockwise) until a click is heard from the gas valve.

2.Turn adjustment knob (counter clockwise) 1/4 turn.

3.Turn pump off and on several times. Heater should shut off immediately. If it does not, repeat steps above until proper adjustment is made.

TWO SPEED PUMPS

In some cases, the flow on the low speed is insuffi- cient to operate the heater. This is apparent when the pressure switch cannot be further adjusted of if the heater makes banging noises. In these cases, the pump must be run at high speed when heating the water.

CAUTION: Do not operate the heater without the function of a properly adjusted pressure switch.

HIGH LIMITS

The heater is equipped with two automatic high limits. Set to operate at 135°F and 140°F.

NOTE: An erratic high limit is often characteristic of internal heat exchanger problem, i.e. scale build-up, U.G. operation. Refer to troubleshooting sections.

HIGH LIMIT REMOVAL

1.Shut off main electrical power switch to heater.

2.Remove inspection panels.

3.Drain heater.

4.Remove defective high limit and replace with a new high limit.

5.Reverse above procedure to re-install.

PILOT SAFETY

The heater employs a pilot safety which closes the main gas valve within 8/10ths of a second whenever the pilot flame is interrupted. Pilot flame is automatically lit when the device is powered. Unit performs its own safety check and opens the main valve only after the pilot is proven to be lit.

BURNER DRAWER REMOVAL

1.Shut off main electrical power switch to heater.

2.Shut off gas upstream of heater.

3.Remove front door.

4.Disconnect gas line from gas valve.

5.Remove (2) screws that mount burner tray to unit, and (2) screws that secure gas valve to jacket.

6.Disconnect wires that terminate at gas valve.

7.Slide out burner tray.

8.Reverse above procedure to reinstall.
