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 rec- ommended initial setting for the temperature control is 125°F.
Hi Delta units can be stacked two units high with an optional stacking rack. A seismic-certified stacking kit is available from Raypak for this type of installation. CAUTION: The heaters should be located in an area where water leakage will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliances or to the struc- ture.
In addition, the heater shall be installed such that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance operation or service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).

3. In cold climates, and to mitigate potential freeze- up, Raypak highly recommends the installation of a motorized sealed damper to prevent the circula- tion of cold air through the heater during the non- operating hours.
three or four sheet metal screws (not supplied) equal- ly distributed around the circumference of the duct. All ducting should be self-supported. The filter housing is not designed to support the air duct. CAUTION: Use TrueSeal combustion air if damag- ing airborne contaminants are or will be present in the heater area.
b. Not less than the sum of the areas of all vent connectors in the confined space. WARNING: Do not use one permanent opening method if the equipment room is under negative pressure conditions or the equipment is common vented with other gas-fired appliances. Canadian Installations CAUTION: All combustion air must be drawn from the air outside of the building;...
The heat exchanger has already been factory- tested and is rated for 160 psi operating pressure. However, Raypak does recommend hydrostatic test- ing of the piping connections to the heater and the rest of the system prior to operation. This is particularly true for hydronic systems using expensive glycol- based anti-freeze.
Failure to exceed 105ºF (41ºC) within 7 minutes may result in the premature failure of the hot surface ignit- er, 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.

DANGER: SHOCK HAZARD Make sure electrical power to the heater is discon- nected to avoid potential serious injury or damage to components. Fig. 21: Wiring Connections...
Installer action is required to electrically enable your heater to operate after making the power connections. You must make a closed contact connection on Stage 1 connector of the Central Point Wiring (CPW) board for temperature control connections. This will be done based on the controller option selected with your heater order.
Category III – A heater which operates with a positive vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent. Category IV – A heater which operates with a positive vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent.
8. Locate and guard vent termination to prevent acci- dental contact by people or pets. 9. DO NOT terminate vent in window well, stairwell, alcove, courtyard or other recessed area. 10. DO NOT terminate above any door, window, or gravity air intake. Condensate can freeze, causing ice formations.
5. Remove the screws, retaining ring and rain gasket from top of heater. 6. Remove the screws, flue collar and gasket from the run side of the tee located in the flue box on top of the heater. 7. Reverse the components and reattach in the new location.

MAINTENANCE Suggested Minimum Maintenance Schedule Regular service by a qualified service agency and maintenance must be performed to ensure maximum operating efficiency. Maintenance as outlined below may be performed by the owner. Daily 1. Check that the area where the heater is installed is free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Weekly 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). 1. Check igniter. (Resistance reading should be 42- 70 ohms at ambient temperature.) 2.
APPENDIX Inside Air Contamination 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 effi- ciency systems.
