PRESSURE SWITCH

The pressure switch, or heater actuator, insures that the heater operates only when the filter pump is in operation. It is located on the inlet/outlet header. It is factory set at 1.75 PSI for deck level installations. When the heater is located below the level of the spa or pool, it may be necessary to reset the pressure switch to compensate for the no-flow static head. If it is necessary to reset the pressure switch, utilize the following proce- dure:

PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

FLAME ROLL-OUT SAFETY SWITCH

The heater is equipped with a thermal cutoff device to prevent flame roll-out in the event the heat exchanger becomes blocked. This is a "Single-use" type fusible link or thermal fuse, that must be replaced when disabled by an over temperature condition, caused by excessive restriction in the heat exchanger flue passage.

Adjustment

Knob

1.With pump and heater on, turn adjustment knob (clockwise) until a click is heard from the gas valve.

2.Turn adjustment knob (counter clockwise) 1/4 turn.

3.Turnpumpoffandonseveral times. Heater should shut off immediately. If it does not, repeat steps above until proper adjustments made.

HIGHLIMITS

The heater is equipped with two automatic high limits. Both are located in the inlet/outlet header. Both are set to open at 135°F.

NOTE: An erratic high limit is often characteristic of internal heat exchanger problem, i.e. scale buildup, defective bypass. Refer to troubleshooting sections.
