Electrical Flow Through the Heater

1. The T T T T h h h h e e e e r r r r m m m m i i i i s s s s t t t t o o o o r r r r senses the inlet water temperature.
2. If the temperature sensed is lower than that set on

interlocks (see below).

there is adequate water flow through the heater.
4. The H H H H i i i i g g g g h h h h L L L L i i i i m m m m i i i i t t t t S S S S w w w w i i i i t t t t c c c c h h h h monitors the outlet water
temperature and will open if a malfunction causes
the outlet temperature to exceed 135˚ F (57° C).
5. The A A A A u u u u t t t t o o o o m m m m a a a a t t t t i i i i c c c c G G G G a a a a s s s s S S S S h h h h u u u u t t t t o o o o f f f f f f f f S S S S w w w w i i i i t t t t c c c c h h h h ( ( ( ( A A A A G G G G S S S S ) ) ) ) moni-
tors the outlet temperature from the Heat
Exchanger and will open if a malfunction causes the
water outlet temperature to exceed 140˚ F (60° C).
6. If the High Limit Switch and the Water Pressure
Switch are OK, the I I I I g g g g n n n n i i i i t t t t i i i i o o o o n n n n C C C C o o o o n n n n t t t t r r r r o o o o l l l l M M M M o o o o d d d d u u u u l l l l e e e e starts

Metering Orifice.
8. If the airflow is sufficient, the AFS closes, completes
the ignition circuit, and supplies power to the

10. The HSI element automatically switches from igni-
tion mode to a flame sensing mode to monitor the
flame.

temperature and will shut down the heater if the
temperature exceeds 500° F (260° C).

the desired water temperature is reached. Once
reached, the Burner shuts off and the Blower contin-
ues to run for about 45 seconds (known as "post
purge").
13. If the burner does not ignite in seven seconds, the
system shuts down and will not restart. The heater
must be turned off and turned back on again at the
Membrane Pad (wait about 5 seconds) before it will
start.
14. If the flame is extinguished during operation, the

ignition cycle reactivates.
15. If any safety interlocks open during Burner opera-
tion, the Burner immediately shuts off, but the
Blower continues to run for about 45 seconds.

Risk of electric shock, fire or explo-
sion. Do not attempt to override any electrical safety
interlocks which have opened. Find and fix the fault
before operating the heater.
