IMPORTANT NOTE
HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
THE SUF 199 AND 250 MODELS INCORPORATE A NEW GAS CONTROL, WHICH OPERATES AT A MANIFOLD PRESSURE OF 0"W.C. (0 kPa) FOR BOTH NATURAL AND PROPANE GAS. SEE THE GAS PRESSURE CHART ON PAGE 4. THESE MODELS ARE CONFIGURED PRIOR TO BEING SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY AND NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE NECESSARY PRIOR TO STARTUP. THE CONTROLLER MONITORS THE AIR FLOW AND MAKES ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FAN SPEED WHICH IN EFFECT CONTROLS THE AMOUNT OF GAS FLOW. THEREFORE, THE UNIT WILL SELF ADJUST TO ACQUIRE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF INPUT.
Supply gas pressure to the water heater for natural gas should be between a maximum of 10.5" (2.59kPa for natural gas) W.C.
(14.0"/3.45kPa for propane) and a minimum as shown on page 4: that is, for Natural Gas 4" (.98kPa) W.C. And 9.0" (1.97kPa) for Propane Gas. The inlet gas pressure must not exceed the maximum value.
A supply gas pressure | regulator |
|
(service regulator) must be installed on |
| |
the gas supply line within 10' (305 cm) |
| |
of the unit. |
