Do not handle, use, or store gasoline or other flammable or combustible materials in the vicinity of a heater. WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Refer to the user's information manual provided with this heater. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier. WARNING: To minimize the possibility of improper operation, serious personal injury, fire, or damage to the heater: • Always keep the area around the heater free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors. • Heater should never be covered or have any blockage to the flow of fresh air to the heater. WARNING - CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. CAUTION: Verify proper operation after servicing. WARNINGS - Pay Attention to These Terms 4 WARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber. RCF, as manufactured, does not contain respirable crystalline silica. However, following sustained exposure to very high temperatures (>2192F), the RCF can transform into crystalline silica (cristabolite). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified the inhalation of crystalline silica (cristabolite) as carcinogenic to humans. When removing the burners or heat exchangers, take precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and avoid inhaling airborne fibers. When cleaning spills, use wet sweeping or High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtered vacuum to minimize airborne dust. Use feasible engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation or dust collecting systems to minimize airborne dust. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, safety glasses with side shields, and appropriate NIOSH certified respiratory protection, to avoid inhalation of airborne dust and airborne fiber particles. NOTE: Minimum 18 AWG, 105°C, stranded wire must be used for all low voltage (less than 30 volts) external connections to the unit. Solid conductors should not be used because they can cause excessive tension on contact points. Install conduit as appropriate. All high voltage wires must be the same size (105°C, stranded wire) as the ones on the unit or larger.

Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to

your heater and associated equipment. Maintain your water chemistry according to Table A. If the mineral content and dissolved solids in the water become too high, scale forms inside the heat exchanger tubes, reducing heater efficiency and damaging the heater. If the pH drops below 7.2, this will cause corrosion of the heat exchanger and severely damage the heater. Heat exchanger damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty. For your health and the protection of your pool equip- ment, it is essential that your water be chemically balanced. The following levels must be used as a guide for balanced water. • Occasional chemical shock dosing of the pool or spa water should not damage the heater providing the water is balanced. • Automatic chemical dosing devices and salt chlo- rinators are usually more efficient in heated water, unless controlled, they can lead to excessive chlo- rine level which can damage your heater. • Further advice should be obtained from your pool or spa builder, accredited pool shop, or chemical supplier for the correct levels for your water. NOTE: Corrosive water voids all warranties. CAUTION: Free chlorine must not exceed 5 ppm which can damage the heater and void the warranty.

Clean main burners and air louvers of dust, lint and

debris. Keep heater area clear and free from com- bustibles, flammable liquids and chemicals. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Water First thing, ensure that system is filled with water and have pump operating. Water must be flowing through the heater during operation. After Start-Up Feel the inlet and outlet pipes. Outlet pipe should be only slightly warmer than the inlet. It should not be hot. Visual Inspection With the heater on, remove the door and make a visu- al check of the pilot and burner. The flame should be blue with a well-defined pattern. A yellow or "floating" flame indicates restricted air openings or incorrect orifice size. Should this occur, shut the heater off and contact your installer or gas supplier. Water Pressure Switch A water pressure switch is provided in the heater to shut-off the burners in the event that water supply to the heater is interrupted. It is very important to verify that the switch electrically opens and shuts off the gas WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result, causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control to the appliance.

Otherwise, rapid and severe heater damage will likely occur. (The water pressure switch should be checked and adjusted for proper operation by a qualified serv- ice person at the time of installation and periodically checked thereafter. Refer to pressure switch servicing instructions in this manual.) Water Temperature Safety Elevated water temperature can be hazardous, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission rec- ommends the following guidelines: 1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F (40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C) is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children. 2. Use of drugs and/or alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use may cause drowsiness which could lead to unconsciousness and subse- quently result in drowning. 3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water over 102° F (39°C) may cause fetal damage during the first three months of pregnancy, including brain damage or deformity. Pregnant women should observe the 100°F (38°C) maximum rule. 4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate thermometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as ± 4 °F (2.2°C). 5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure problems should obtain a physician's advice before using pools or hot tubs. 6. Persons taking medications which induce drowsi- ness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anticoagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs. MAINTENANCE AND CARE PROCEDURES To be followed one month after start-up and then semi- annually. 1. Inspect top of heater and drafthood for soot, a sticky black substance found around finned tubes, baffle and open flue gas passageways. 2. Clean main burners and pilot burner of dust and lint. 3. Inspect and operate all controls, gas valve and pressure relief valve. 4. Make visual check of the burner and pilot flame. Flame pattern on the main burner and pilot is indi- cated in the previous illustration. Yellow flame means restriction of the air openings. Lifting or blowing flame indicates high gas pressure. Low flame means low gas pressure. Should this occur, shut the heater off and contact your gas supplier or qualified service agency. 5. On indoor heaters, clean room intake openings to ensure adequate flow of combustion and ventila- tion air. 6. Keep area around heater clear and free from com- bustible materials and other flammable and corrosive vapors and liquids. Basic Tips if Heater Will Not Fire If you have no electrical power: 1. The "circuit breakers" may have tripped. Try re- setting them. WARNING: Operation of the heater without water circulation will cause rapid and severe damage to the heater. CAUTION: Soot may be combustible. Wet sooted surfaces completely prior to cleaning. Do not use steel wire brush. CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and void the warranty.

If you have electrical power, check the following:

1. The time clock must be moved to the "ON" posi- tion. 2. Your pump strainer basket may be full. If so remove debris. 3. Your filter may be dirty. If so, backwash or clean fil- ter. (If your filter is dirty, the gauge pressure will be higher than usual). 4. The pump may have lost its prime and be running dry. Check the pressure gauge on the filter. If there is no pressure; the water is not moving (or your gauge is broken). Try to get the pump to run at its normal flow rate. Pool & Spa Water Chemistry Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to your heater and associated equipment. Maintain your water chemistry according to the chart on page 5. If the mineral content and dissolved solids in the water become too high, scale forms inside the heat exchanger tubes, reducing heater efficiency and also damaging the heater. If the pH drops below 7.2, the heater will be severely damaged. This will result in corrosion of the heat exchanger. Heat exchanger damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty. Cold Weather Operation Heater operation can continue during short term cold spells. When temperatures are below freezing, flow (continuous pump operation) must be maintained. Prolonged operation with water temperatures below 50°F is not recommended. When starting the heater with pool temperatures below 50°F, operate the heater continuously until higher temperatures are reached. Operating the heater for prolonged periods with pool water below 50°F can seriously damage the heater, and will void the warranty. For cold climate areas please follow the winterizing procedures listed below. Winterizing the Spa Heater When heaters installed outdoors in freezing climate areas are to be shut down for the winter, observe the following procedure: 1. Turn off gas valve, manual gas valve, and electri- cal supply to the heater. 2. Open drain cock located on the return header. 3. Disconnect compression fittings from the pressure switch and header that connect to the 1/4" copper tube and allow the tube to drain. INTRODUCTION Receiving Equipment On receipt of your equipment it is suggested that you visually check for external damage to the carton. If the carton is damaged, a note should be made on the Bill of Lading when signing for the equipment. Remove the heater from the carton and if it is damaged, report the damage to the carrier immediately. On occasion, we ship some items loose. Be sure that you receive the number of packages indicated on the Bill of Lading. When ordering parts, you must specify model and serial number of heater. When ordering under warran- ty conditions, you must also specify the date of installation. The manufacturer recommends that this manual be reviewed thoroughly before installing your pool/spa heater. If there are any questions that this manual does not answer, please contact the factory or your local representative. CAUTION: Do not use the heater to maintain water temperatures just above freezing, or for freeze protection. When heaters are used during freezing weather, care must be taken to avoid freeze-ups. Continuous pump operation is a must. Additional protection may be required. The heater is not warranted against freeze-ups.

These heaters are design certified and tested under

the requirements of ANSI Z21.56/CSA 4.7 American National Standard / CSA standards for gas-fired pool heaters. The heater is interchangeable and can be used either indoors or outdoors. The appropriate top designated for that type of use is required. If desired, the top can be changed at a later date to change from outdoor to indoor or vice versa. Millivolt heaters contain a self- generating electrical system operating between .25 and .75 volts. Ambient Temperature Rating of Heater Components Millivolt Heater with Honeywell Gas Valve +32°F to +175°F Millivolt Heater with Robertshaw Gas Valve 0°F to +175°F Electronic Ignition Heaters* -32°F to +175°F *Requires 120V or 240V power supply Rated inputs are suitable for up to 2000 feet elevation. For elevations above 2000 feet, reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level, as high elevation reduces combustion performance. For Canada, reduce input 10% when installed at 2000-4500 feet elevation. INSTALLATION If your state is such, be sure your contractor bears the appropriate license. Persons not qualified shall not attempt to fix this equipment nor attempt repairs according to these instructions. Code Requirements Installation must be in accordance with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest editions of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70; for Canada, the latest edition of CAN/CGA B-149. Base Installation Heater must be mounted on a level surface. It can be installed on combustible flooring. Heaters may not be installed on carpeting. Clearances NOTE: These instructions are intended for use by qualified personnel only, specifically trained and experienced in the installation of this type of heating equipment and related system components. Installation and service personnel may be required by some states to be licensed. WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance may damage the equipment, create a hazard resulting in asphyxiation, explosion or fire, and will void the warranty. NOTE: The heater should not be located in an area where possible water leakage will result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. WARNING: The heater shall not be located in an area where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause water to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the heater. This could cause heavy internal rusting or damage some electrical components, and this would void the warranty.

For servicing, provide at least 24" in front of the heater

for burner tray removal, and at least 18" on the left side of the heater to inspect and de-lime the heat exchang- er. Heater Side Min.

from or one (1) foot above any door, window or gravi-

ty inlet to a building. The top surface of the heater shall be at least three (3) feet above any forced air inlet, or intake ducts located within ten (10) feet horizontally. For installations in Canada, pool heaters shall not be installed with the top of the vent assembly within 10 feet below, or to either side, of any opening into the building. Refer to the latest revision of CAN/CGA- B149. Outdoor Heaters These heaters are design certified for outdoor installa- tion, when equipped with the approved top designated for outdoor use. High Wind Conditions (Outdoor Units Only) In areas where high winds are frequent, it may be nec- essary to locate the heater a minimum of 3' from high vertical walls, or install a wind break so the heater is not in direct wind current. Heater with Outdoor Top Fig. 5: Heater with Outdoor Top WARNING: Do not install within 3 feet of a Heat Pump or an outdoor condensing unit. Strong air intake from this equipment can disturb the combustion process and cause damage or personal injury. Indoor Heaters The design is also certified for indoor installation when equipped with the approved drafthood. For Canada, indoor installation is restricted to an enclosure that is not occupied and does not directly communicate with occupied area. Refer to the latest edition of CAN/ CGA B-149 for specific requirements.Locate heater as close as practical to a chimney or gas vent. Heater must always be vented to the outside. See Vent Piping sec- tion for venting details. Minimum clearances are shown on the nameplate. Combustion Air (Indoor Units Only) Air for Combustion and Ventilation (Indoor Units Only) The heater must have both combustion and ventilation air. Minimum requirements for net free air supply openings are one 12 inches from ceiling for ventilation and one 12 inches from the floor for combustion air as outlined in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, Z223.1(Canada-CAN/CGA B-149) and any local codes that may have jurisdiction. a. All Air from Inside the Building: Each opening shall have a minimum of 50 net free square inches. b. All Air from Outdoors: When air is supplied directly from outside of the building, each opening shall have a minimum of 13 net free square inches. Heater with Indoor Top Fig. 6: Heater with Indoor Top CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and void the warranty.

Vent Terminal Assembly

Outdoor 1. Remove the (4) screws which fasten jacket top to heater. 2. Lower outdoor top onto unit lining up slots in out- door top with screw holes in jacket top. 3. Reinstall (4) screws to secure jacket top and out- door top to unit. Indoor Locate and assemble as shown. Secure with screws supplied in envelope inside carton. Outdoor Top Jacket Top Fig. 7: Heater with Outdoor Top Drafthood Mounting Screws Fig. 8: Heater with Indoor Top Vent Piping Vent piping the same size or larger than the drafthood outlet is recommended, however, when the total vent height is at least ten (10) feet (drafthood relief opening to vent terminal), the vent pipe size may be reduced as specified in Chapter 10 of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (Canada- CAN/CGA B-149). As much as possible, avoid long horizontal runs of vent pipe and too many elbows. If installation requires horizontal or or non-vertical runs, the vent pipe must have a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot rise and should be supported at not more than five foot intervals. Plumbers' tape, criss-crossed, will serve to space both horizontal and vertical piping. Gas vents supported only by the flashing and extend- ing above the roof more than five feet should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind loads. We recommend use of insulated vent pipe spacer through the roofs and walls. For protection against rain or blockage by snow, the vent pipe must terminate with a vent cap which com- plies with the local codes or, in the absence of such codes, to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (Canada-CAN/CGA B-149). The discharge opening must be a minimum of 2 ft. ver- tically from the roof surface and at least 2 ft. higher than any part of the building within ten feet. Vent stack shall be at least five feet in vertical height above the drafthood outlet. The vent cap location shall have a minimum clearance of 4 ft. horizontally from, and in no case above or below, unless a 4-foot horizontal dis- tance is maintained from electric meters, gas meters regulators and relief equipment. The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on heater drafthood. Support must be provided in compliance with applicable codes. The heater top and drafthood must be readily removable for maintenance and inspection. Vent pipe should be adequately sup- ported to maintain proper clearances from supported to maintain proper clearances from combustible con- struction. WARNING: Indoor boilers require a drafthood that must be connected to a vent pipe and properly vented to the outside. Failure to follow this procedure can cause fire or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.

Type "B" double wall or equivalent vent pipe is recom-

mended. However single-wall metal vent pipe may be used as specified in the latest edition of the National Flue Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (Canada-CAN/CGA B- 149). Gas Supply Connections Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the heater gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve locat- ed outside the heater jacket. All gas piping should be tested after installation in accordance with local codes. 5' MIN 2' MIN 10' OR LESS 2' MIN VENT CAP VENT PIPE DRAFT HOOD HEATER Fig. 9: Venting Clearances A minimum of 7" WC and a maximum of 10.5" WC upstream pressure under load, and no load conditions must be provided for natural gas, or a minimum of 12" WC and a maximum of 13" WC for propane. Gas Pressure Regulator SUPPLIED BY OTHERS GAS FLOW UNION SEDIMENT TRAP MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE Fig. 10: Sediment Trap CAUTION: The heater and its manual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa). Dissipate test pressure in the gas supply line before reconnecting the heater and its manual shut-off valve to gas supply line. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE GAS VALVE. OVER PRESSURED GAS VALVES ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. The heater and its gas connections shall be leak tested before placing the appliance in operation. Use soapy water for leak test. Do NOT use open flame. NOTE: Do not use teflon tape on gas line pipe thread. A flexible sealant is recommended.

Test at Gas Valve

Gas Pressure Test at Heater Gas Pressure Adjustment Fig. 11: Gas Pressure Testing Locations Fig. 12: Robertshaw Millivolt Valve Gas Pressure Adjustment Fig. 13: Honeywell Millivolt Valve Gas Pressure Adjustment Fig. 14: Honeywell IID Valve Plumbing for Water Connections Location The VERSA heater requires water flow and positive pressure to fire and operate properly. It must therefore be installed downstream of the discharge side of the filter pump. A typical installation is plumbed as follows: 1. The inlet side of the filter is plumbed directly to the discharge side of the filter pump: 2. The outlet side of the filter is then plumbed to the inlet of the heater; and 3. The outlet of the heater is plumbed to the return line to the spa. The pump, filter and heater are thus plumbed in series. Plumbing from the heater back to the spa must not have any valves or restriction that could prevent flow when the pump is operating. To do so will void the war- ranty. Heater must be located so that any water leaks will not damage the structure of adjacent area. High tempera- ture plastic pipe (CPVC) may be connected directly into the heater if local codes permit.

Companion Flange Connections

The inlet/outlet header flange accepts a 1-1/2" copper tube or 1-1/4" galvanized pipe as a slip connection directly into the manifold. The flange is also threaded for 1-1/2" pipe thread. 1-1/2" CPVC adapters (when available) can also be used. DO NOT use petroleum base assembly fluids (such as petroleum jelly or lubricating oil). If assembly lube is required, use a silicone-based compound, such as Amoral, etc. Pipe Size Min. gpm Max. gpm 1-1/4” 20 60* 1-1/2” 20 60* *When flow rates exceed 60 gpm, an external auxiliary bypass valve is required.

Do not place chlorine tablets or bromine sticks in the skimmer. High chemical concen- trations will result when the pump is not running (e.g. overnight). Chlorinators must feed downstream of the heater and have an anti-siphoning device to prevent chemical backup into the heater when the pump is shut-off. Unitherm Governor Operation The patented Unitherm Governor is a thermostatic mixing valve specifically designed to maintain constant heater internal temperature between 105 - 115°F despite continually changing flow rates from the filter and changing pool temperatures. This narrow range is needed to prevent damaging condensation on the burners which will occur if the heater runs for any length of time below 100°F. It is also needed to inhibit scale formation in the tubes by maintaining temperatures well below accelerated scal- ing temperatures. CAUTION: Never install PVC directly into header flanges. The initial connection must be made with a high temperature material such as CPVC or Copper. For IID Pilots: PVC may be utilized immediately after the initial connections. For Standing Pilots: Copper or high temperature CPVC pipe and two elbows are required between the heater and the PVC connections (heat sinks not supplied). NOTE: High chemical concentration from feeders and chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause very rapid corrosion to the heat exchanger in the heaters. Such damage is not covered under the warranty. Outlet Inlet Unitherm Governor Fig. 16: Unitherm Governor Location

External Auxiliary Bypass Valve

(Where Required) An auxiliary bypass valve should be used when flow rates exceed 60 gpm (usually a high performance pump size larger than 1-1/2 HP will exceed this flow rate). This valve is required to complement the func- tion of the automatic bypass valve, particularly when starting the heater in winter or early spring when the spa or pool temperature is down below 55°F. It also serves to eliminate needless pressure drop through the heater and accompanying reduction in the flow rate to the spa jets, etc. Auxiliary Bypass Valve Adjustment To set bypass: With clean filter, adjustment is made by feeling the inlet and outlet pipes at the heater. Outlet pipes should be slightly warmer than inlet and comfort- able to the touch. If pipe is hot, close bypass; if cold, open bypass Pressure Relief Valve Installation To conform to local building codes, it may be neces- sary to install a pressure relief valve. A 3/4" pressure relief valve having a capacity equal to BTUH/HR out- put of the model to be installed is recommended for this appliance. Electrical Wiring Millivolt System The Millivolt System Residential Heater is equipped with a self-generating electrical system in which the electric current is provided by means of a pilot gener- ator. No external electrical connections are required. When installing a remote switch, do not exceed 10 ft. of wiring from the heater. Use 18-gauge stranded wire. Electronic Intermittent Ignition Device (IID) System The Electronic Intermittent Ignition Device automati- cally lights the pilot and main burners upon a call for the heat. The heater is supplied with a dual-voltage transformer for 120V or 240V input power hookup. From Heater To Heater lo o P m o r F lo o P o T Auxiliary Bypass Valve (do not use gate valve) Fig. 17: Auxiliary Bypass Valve Drain Pipe Drain Pipe Heater Outlet Heater Outlet Fig. 18: Pressure Relief Valve Installation NOTE: To avoid water damage or scalding due to valve operation, drain pipe must be connected to valve outlet and run to a safe place of discharge. Drain pipe must be the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout its entire length and must pitch downward from the valve. No shut-off valve shall be installed between the relief valve and the drain line. Valve lever should be tripped at least once a year to ensure that waterways are clear. NOTE: If it is necessary to replace any of the original wiring, it must be replaced with 105°C wire or its equivalent, except all black wire must be replaced with 150°C wire or its equivalent. NOTE: When the electrical hookup to the heater requires both 24V and 120V or 240V, each input voltage must be isolated in a separate conduit. NOTE: IID Propane Units Only Heater is equipped with an electronic ignition device with a 100% safety lockout feature. If the heater fails to start or lockout, reset the ignition device by interrupting the power to the heater for 60 seconds. CAUTION: If service replacement of the electronic ignition device is required, replace only with a 100% safety lockout device with 90-second trial for pilot ignition.

The water temperature is controlled by the heater ther-

mostat on the upper front panel of the heater. The control center contains an On-Off toggle switch and a thermostat. The switch functions as a means for turn- ing the heater on or off. The thermostat is fitted with a means of limiting the upper temperature limit below the maximum level. The knob stop adjustment ring illustrated above is adjustable by loosening the set screw, rotating the knobstop ring to the desired location and retightening the set screw.

The pressure switch, or heater actuator, ensures that

the heater operates only when the filter pump is in operation. 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, we recommend the following procedure. Pressure Switch Adjustment 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. Turn pump off and on several times. Heater should shut-off immediately. If it does not, repeat steps above until proper adjustment is made. Adjustment Knob Heat Exchanger Height Heat Exchanger Height Pool or Spa Fig. # 8152.0s 5' Max. 5' Max. Two-Speed Pumps In some cases, the flow on the low-speed is insuffi- cient to operate the heater. This is apparent when the pressure switch cannot be further adjusted or if the heater makes banging noises. In these cases, the pump must be run at high speed when heating the water. Flame Roll-Out Safety Switch The heater is equipped with a thermal cut-off 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 dis- abled by an over temperature condition, caused by excessive restriction in the heat exchanger flue pas- sage. High Limits The heater is equipped with two automatic high limits, set to operate at 135°F and 140°F. Fig. 24: Pressure Switch Adjustment Fig. 25: Above/Below Installation Limits NOTE: If heater is installed outside of the limits shown, a flow switch must be used in place of the pressure switch when mounted and wired adjacent to the heater. CAUTION: Do not operate the heater without the function of a properly adjusted pressure switch. Fig. 26: Flame Roll-Out Safety Switch Fig. 27: High Limit

High Limit Removal

1. Disconnect top portion of unit. (See Heat Exchanger Removal procedure, steps 1 thru 7 and step 10.) 2. Remove defective high limit and replace with new high limit. 3. Reverse above procedure to reinstall. Pilot Safety Millivolt Units The heaters equipped with the standing pilot (millivolt system) have pilot generators which act as a safety device to shut-off the flow of gas to the main burners and the pilot burner in case the pilot flame is extin- guished. The pilot burner must be manually relighted to place the heater in operation again. Refer to the lighting instructions provided on the heater label. IID Units The heater employs a pilot safety which closes the main gas valve within 8/10ths of a second whenever the pilot flame is interrupted. Pilot flame is automatical- ly lit when the device is powered. Unit performs its own safety check and opens the main valve only after the pilot is proven to be lit. Burner Tray Removal 1. Shut-off main electrical power switch to heater. 2. Shut-off gas upstream of heater. 3. Remove front door. 4. Disconnect gas line from gas valve. 5. Remove (2) screws that mount burner tray to unit. 6. Disconnect wires that terminate at gas valve, and thermal fuse. 7. Slide out burner tray. 8. Reverse above procedure to reinstall.
