Operation
3.1 Controls - General
See Figure 15 for control locations.
3.1.1 Electronic Ignition Controls:
a. Intermittent Ignition:
Pilots are automatically lit when the
operating aquastat calls for heat (System
#9).
The unit performs its own safety check and
opens the main valves only after the pilot is
proven to be lit. Whenever the pilot ame
is interrupted, the main gas valve closes
within 0.8 seconds.
b. Electronically Supervised Standing Pilot
System (System #16):
When pilot ame fails, the ignition control
module responds in less than 0.8 seconds
and provides 100% safety shutdown.
3.1.2 Operating Controls:
Electrically Operating Controls:
Copper Brute units are equipped with operating
temperature. The temperature sensing bulb is
located in the heater inlet.
3.1.3 High Limit Controls:
The manual reset high limit switches are
provided as standard equipment on all heaters.
Automatic reset switches are optionally provided.
The temperature sensing bulb of the switch is
always located in the heater outlet. Burners will
automatically shut down whenever overheating
of water occurs.
3.1.4 Flow Switch:
Standard on all models, the switch is mounted
directly in the header outlet. The ow switch
shuts down all burners in case of low water
condition or pump failure.
3.1.5 Low Water Cut Off: (Optional)
The low water cut off automatically shuts off the
heater whenever the water level drops below the
probe. The probe is located at the heater inlet.
3.2 Initial Start-Up
Before placing the heater in operation, be certain
that the heater is lled with water and all air is purged
from the system. Once the heater is connected to the
gas supply, the automatic safety shutoff devices must
be checked.
1. Before beginning the tests, make sure the main
manual gas valve, and any other heater ring
valves are in the “OFF” position.
