PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT RANGE

NOTE:  If heater is installed outside of the limits 
shown,  a fl ow switch must be used in place of the 
pressure  switch when mounted and wired adjacent 
to the  heater.

TWO SPEED PUMPS

In some cases, the fl ow on the low speed is insuf-
fi 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.

CAUTION:

 

Do not operate the heater without the 

function of a properly adjusted pressure switch or 
fl ow switch.

1.5 m Max

1.5 m Max

FLAME ROLL-OUT SAFETY SWITCH

The heater is equipped with a thermal cutoff device 
to prevent fl ame roll-out in the event that 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 
fl ue passage.

HIGH LIMITS

The heater is equipped with one manual reset over-
heat thermostat located in the return header, set to 
open at approx. 100°C.  the other is the Automatic 
Gas Shut-off limit, set to open at 57°C and located 
in the Inlet/Outlet header.

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