SETTING AND CHECKOUT • OPERATION
TABLE 2—THERMISTOR RESISTANCE AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURES IN CELSIUS.
Operation
L8104A,D
When the temperature at the sensing bulb drops below
the setting on the potentiometer, the relay contacts in the
electronic control module make to open the gas control or
turn on the ignition module. When the temperature rises to
the setpoint, the relay contacts open, closing the gas control
or turning off the ignition module.
The control circuit is accurate to within ±3.5°F (±1.9°C)
at maximum setpoint. (180°F (83°C) setpoint controls are
accurate within +7°F (+3.8°C), -0°F (0°C).
L8104B,C
Operation of the L8104B,C is similar to L8104A,D ex-
cept the electronic control module opens and closes the
relay in response to the average of the temperatures sensed
by the upper and lower sensing bulbs.
ECO LIMIT OPERATION
If the temperature at the ECO switch rises above the
ECO limit setting, the contacts in the ECO switch break and
turn off the water heater.
L8104A,B
The L8104A,B uses a recycling ECO switch that re-
makes once the temperature drops below the ECO tempera-
ture. Before the system will restart, however, the system
must be reset. On a standing pilot system, the pilot must be
relit. On an electronic ignition system, power to the 100
percent lockout ignition module must be off for one minute.
A nonrecycling (one-shot) ECO switch will not remake.
The sensing bulb containing the switch must be replaced.
L8104C,D
The L8104C,D uses a recycling ECO switch. When the
ECO opens, the red LED on the electronic module lights
and the water heater is turned off. To restart the system,
press the black manual reset pushbutton until the red LED
turns off. The ECO switch is closed and the sys-
tem is reset.
