GENERAL SAFETY To meet commercial hot water use needs, the high limit safety control on this water heater is adjustable up to 210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. When supplying general purpose hot water, the recommended initial setting for the temperature control is 125°F. Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when setting the water temperature on the thermostat.
Equipment Base The temperature of the water in the heater can be regulated by using the temperature controller. To comply with safety regulations, the temperature controller is set at the lowest setting when shipped from the factory. The heater should be mounted on a level, structurally sound surface. The heater is approved for installation on a combustible surface but must NEVER be installed on carpeting. Gas-fueled equipment installed in enclosed parking garages must be located at least 18 in.

This opening(s) can be ducted to a point not more than 18 in. (450 mm) nor less than 6 in. (152 mm) above the floor level. The duct can also “goose neck” through the roof. The duct is preferred to be straight down 18 in. (450 mm) from the floor, but not near piping. b.
Hydrostatic Test 5. Remove all plumbing fittings to the header. This will include both inlet and outlet water pipe unions and the pressure relief valve and drain piping. Unlike many types of heaters, this heater does not require hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in operation. The heat exchanger has already been factorytested and is rated for 160 psi operating pressure.
Failure to exceed 105ºF (41ºC) within 7 minutes may result in the premature failure of the hot surface igniter, remote flame sensor, burners and heat exchanger. It can cause operational problems, bad combustion, sooting, flue gas spillage and reduced service life of the vent system. The bypass allows part of the heater discharge water to be mixed with the cooler heater return water to increase the heater inlet temperature above 105ºF (41ºC).
Pressure Drop in Feet of Head Feedwater Regulator heaters which are not subject to thermal shock. Raypak offers a full line of electronic sequencers that produce direct reset of heater water temperature. (Refer to the Controls section of the Raypak Catalog.) Raypak recommends that a feedwater regulator be installed and set at 12 psi minimum pressure at the highest point of the system.
Potable Water and Space Heating CAUTION: When this heater is used for both potable water and space heating, observe the following to ensure proper operation. 1. All piping materials and components connected to the water heater for the space heating application shall be suitable for use with potable water. 2. Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable water used for space heating. Fig. 13: Single Domestic Hot Water Heater and Storage Tank 3.
circulate water through the heater from the main system piping. perature to 105°F and Valve A is fully open, then slowly throttle Valve B closed to increase the inlet water temperature to 105°F. To complete the installation of the pool heater, the pool thermostat needs to be installed in the main return water line, upstream of the heater. This will ensure that the heater will be energized at the right time.
Total Dissolved Solids shut-off. Close isolation valves and remove water piping from the in/out header on the heater. Drain the heater and any piping of all water that may experience below-freezing temperatures. Total dissolved solids (TDS) is the measure of all minerals and solids that are dissolved in the water. The concentration of total dissolved solids is usually expressed in parts per million (ppm) as measured in a water sample.
Gas Supply Connection CAUTION: Support gas supply piping with hangers, not by the heater or its accessories. Make sure the gas piping is protected from physical damage and freezing, where required. CAUTION: The heater must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). Reversing Gas Supply Connection Reversing the standard fuel connection from the lefthand to the right-hand side is a simple field operation.
Electrical Power Connections 8. Remove the rubber grommet from the left-handside panel and reinstall into the standard main gas opening, located on the right-hand side of the heater. Installations must follow these codes: • 9. Install a coupling, nipple, union and sediment trap onto the right-hand end of the main gas line and then install the gas line, making sure that a manual shut-off valve has been installed within 10 ft of the heater. • • • 10. Replace the left and right front panels on the heater.

START-UP Pre Start-up • If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. • Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Forced or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Start-Up Preparation Blower Adjustment WARNING: Do not turn on gas at this time. Check Power Supply 1. Turn off power. With multi-meter at incoming power, check voltage between: 2. Unplug cap at pressure switches and connect manometer(s) to the tee. Hot - Common (≈120 VAC) 3. Close all manual firing valves. Hot - Ground (≈120 VAC) 4. Turn power on. Common - Ground (< 1 VAC) 5. Check manometers attached to fan pressure switch. The reading should be 1.4 ± .1 in. WC for propane gas and natural gas.
Safety Inspection The burner section that is ignited directly by the hot surface ignition system serves as a supervised pilot to light the burner sections on either side of it. The burner sections on either side of the supervised section (pilot) are electrically interlocked with the supervised ignition system so as they are not energized unless flame is proven on the center section which is acting as a pilot to light the right and left-hand sections. 1. Check all thermostats and high limit settings. 2.
1. Manually close the downstream leak test valve. 2. Open test point A and connect a manometer to it. Verify that there is gas pressure and that it is within the proper range (NOTE: must not exceed 14.0 in. WC). 3. Open test point B and connect a rubber tube to it. Connect the other end of the tube to a manometer and look for a build-up of pressure. Increasing pressure indicates a leaking gas valve. 4.
10. To restart system, follow lighting instructions in the Operation section. 9. Set thermostat to desired setting. The appliance will operate. The igniter will glow after the prepurge time delay (15 seconds). After igniter reaches temperature (45 seconds) the main valve will open. System will try for ignition three times. If flame is not sensed, lockout will commence. 11. Check to see that the high limit control is set above the design temperature requirements of the system.
TROUBLESHOOTING Step 1 Does the power switch provide power to the control panel? Check the switch and/or line voltage NO Replace ignition module Is there a Call For Heat? YES Unit is in standby mode. Check all safety limit devices and voltage from the transformer to J10 on CPW board. NO YES Reattach.
MAINTENANCE 4. Check for and remove any obstruction to the flow of combustion or ventilation air to heater. Suggested Minimum Maintenance Schedule 5. Follow pre-start-up check in the Start-up section. 6. Visually inspect burner flame. It should be light blue. Remove and visually inspect hot surface igniter and sensor for damage, cracking or debris build-up. Regular service by a qualified service agency and maintenance must be performed to ensure maximum operating efficiency. 7.
Weekly 2. Test high limit and operating temperature. (See “Post Start-Up Check,” page 53.) For low-pressure heaters, test low-water cut-off device. (With at least one stage of the appliance on, depress the low water cut-off test button, appliance should shut-off and ignition fault light should come on. Depress reset button to reset). 3. Check flame sensors. 4. Conduct a combustion test at full fire. Carbon dioxide should be 7.5 to 8.5% at full fire for natural gas, and between 9.2 to 9.
APPENDIX • • • • Inside Air Contamination Check for areas and products listed above before installing heater. If found: All heaters experience some condensation during start-up. The condensate from flue gas is acidic. Combustion air can be contaminated by certain vapors in the air which raise the acidity of the condensate. Higher acidity levels attack many materials including stainless steel, which is commonly used in high efficiency systems.
