Installation and Service Manual

Remember, no water heating system provides exact temperatures at all times. Let the system operate a few days at your desired settings to determine correct settings for your needs.

1.These units are equipped with an operating temperature control.

2.The control set points are preset to a low test setting when shipped from the factory.

3.Reset the temperature set points to the lowest settings which will satisfy hot water demands, eliminate a possible condensate problem and prevent a risk of scald injury.

￿WARNING: Return water temperatures must not be less than 140°F (60°C). If lower return wate temperatures are required, folllow the instructions for Low Temperature Return Water Systems, page 25.

4.The High-Fire Offset should normally be adjusted to “0” when supplying potable hot water for domestic use.

5.Stage firing can be achieved by adjusting the High-Fire Offset to any value other than zero. Typically, a setting of 3°F is 5°F is suitable for stage firing in a water heater application. Stage firing of a potable water heater is normally only used to replace system standby heat loss.

6.All stages of burner operation should fire when there is a major draw from the potable hot water storage system. This prevents possible condensate problems and ensures a rapid recovery of the hot water used.

Note: The High-Fire stage will be delayed by approximately 10 seconds to allow a soft start of the water heater.

IMPORTANT: When water is stored at temperatures above 125°F (52°C), a thermostatic mixing valve must be installed on the hot water outlet from the storage tank to supply lower temperature water and prevent the risk of a scald injury.

Note: This water heater, when set at a lower temperature setting, is not capable of producing hot water of sufficient temperature for sanitizing purposes.

Location of Cold Water Supply Piping Connections

Incorrect piping of the cold water supply to the system may result in excessive low temperature operation causing condensate formation on the heat exchanger and operational problems. You must install the cold water supply piping in the discharge piping from the heater to the storage tank. This allows the cold water to be tempered in the storage tank before entering the heater. See Figure 41 and typical installation drawings provided with the unit for correct piping. Higher water temperatures reduce condensate formation.

￿WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect the electrical supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location external to the unit.

High Water Temperature Limit Control

The unit is equipped with an adjustable setting, auto-reset high water temperature limit control. The hot water heater temperature limit control has a maximum limit setting of 200°F (93°C). If water temperature exceeds the set point, the limit will break the control circuit and shut down the unit. The limit control will only be reset after the water temperature has cooled below the set point of the limit. The high water temperature limit control is mounted in the outlet side of the front header. A manual reset high water temperature limit control is available as an optional control.

Optional Relief Valve

This water heater is normally supplied with a temperature and pressure relief valve(s) sized in accordance with applicable codes. Units may be supplied with an optional pressure only relief valve(s). When a water heater equipped with this optional relief valve is piped to a separate storage vessel, the storage vessel MUST have a properly installed temperature and pressure relief valve which complies with local codes.

Thermal Expansion

A relief valve which discharges periodically may be due to thermal expansion in a closed system. A hot water supply boiler installed in a closed system, such as one with a backflow preventer or check valve installed in the cold water supply, shall be provided with means to control expansion. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation. Do not plug or cap the relief valve discharge!

Cathodic Protection

Hydrogen gas, which is extremely flammable, can be produced in a hot water system that has been unused for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, open the kitchen sink hot water faucet for several minutes before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the hot water begins to flow. Do not smoke or have open flames near the faucet at this time.
