It is important that proper electrical power is available at the unit. Voltage should not vary more than 10% from that stamped on the unit nameplate. On three phase units, phases must be balanced within 3%.

    3. Use only solder, brazing, and pipe thread sealing materials approved for potable water systems. 4. Refer to connection diagram for typical piping, storage tank, and valve configurations. 5. It is highly recommended that the H AC rooftop unit be installed with isolation/flushing valves (see Figure 15, Webstone #40436 or similar) on the inlet and outlet water connections to facilitate required periodic lime and scale removal from the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger.

    E. First Stage and Second Stage Called Simultaneously: 1. Zone thermostat contacts close, a call for first stage (low fire) and second stage (high fire) heat is initiated. 2. Control runs self check. 3. Control checks the high-limit switch for normally closed contacts, each pressure switch for normally open contacts, and all flame rollout switches for continuity.

    6. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow B in the safety information on the Operating Instructions located on the back of the controls/access panel.
  • Page 37: Limit Control

    LIMIT CONTROL The supply air high temperature limit cut-off is set at the factory and cannot be adjust- ed. It is calibrated to prevent the air temperature leaving the furnace from exceeding the maximum outlet air temperature. WARNING DO NOT JUMPER THIS DEVICE! DOING SO CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLO- SION RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
