Flame Roll-Out Safety Switch
Heaters are equipped with a thermal cutoff device to
prevent flame roll-out in the event the heat exchanger
becomes blocked. It is a "manual-reset" type roll-out
switch that must be reset by a service technician after any
over-temperature conditions have been fixed. Excessive
restriction in the heat exchanger flue passage may cause
the switch to disable the heater.

High Limits
The heater is equipped with two high limits.
On units with polymer headers, both are automatic and
are located in the inlet/outlet header. Both are set at 135°F
(57°C).
On units with bronze header, both are located on the inlet/
outlet headers. HL1 is manual-reset and set to open at
160°F (71°C). HL2 is automatic and set to open at 135°F
(57°C).
NOTE: An erratic high limit is often characteristic of
an internal heat exchanger problem, e.g. scale build-up,
defective bypass. Refer to "TROUBLESHOOTING" on
page 35.

Pilot Safety
The heater employs a pilot safety which closes the main
gas valve within 8/10ths of a second whenever the pilot
flame is interrupted. The pilot flame is automatically lit
when the device is powered. The heater 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 the
base of the unit, (2) screws that mount the blower
box to the burner tray, and (1) screw that secures the
anti-rotation bracket to the heater.
6. Disconnect wires that terminate at gas valve.
7. Unscrew (4) screws that secure the control box.
8. Disconnect pilot wire from the pilot assembly.
9. Disconnect wire connector from the combustion
blower.
10. Carefully slide out the burner tray assembly.
11. Reverse above procedure to reinstall.
