Table B: Time to Produce Serious Burn

The temperature of the water in the heater can be regu- lated by using the Raypak Modulating Temperature Control. To comply with safety regulations, the control is set at 120°F when shipped from the factory (Mode 3 default setting for Tank Target).

To adjust the water temperature, follow the instruction for the operation of the control starting on page 28 of this manual. The control is shown below for identifica- tion purposes only. (See Fig. 4.)
