PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING THIS APPLIANCE.
In addition to these instructions, the equipment shall be installed in accordance with those installation regulations in accordance with those installation regulations in force in the local area where the installation is to be made. These shall be carefully followed in all cases.
and sodium chloride (water softener salt), waxes, and process chemicals are typical compounds which are potentially corrosive. Do not store products of this sort near the heater. Also, air which is brought in contact with the heater should no contain any of these chemicals.
Continued manual resetting of high limit control, preceded by higher than usual water temperature is evidence of high limit switch operation. The following are possible reasons for high limit switch operation. • A malfunction in the thermostatic controls would allow the gas valve to remain open causing water temperature to exceed the thermostat setting.
Units, which are to be installed on combustible flooring, must be supported by a full layer of hollow concrete blocks, from 8” (203.2 mm) to 12” (304.8 mm) thick and extending 12” (304.8 mm) minimum beyond the heater in all directions. The concrete blocks must provide an unbroken concrete surface under the heater with the hollows running continuously and horizontally.
Refer to Table 1 for the vent pipe size required for installation to the barometric draft control assembly outlet. TABLE 1. Model GPG-540A 9” (228.6 mm) GPG-650A 9” (228.6 mm) GPG-740A 9” (228.6 mm) Single-wall or type B venting may be used with these heaters in vertical vent installations.

ROBERTSHAW ® 7000 DERHC GAS CONTROL VALVE FIGURE 10. WATER LINE CONNECTIONS Following are detailed installation diagrams for typical methods of application for the water heaters. The water heater may be installed by itself, or with a separate storage tank, on both single and two-temperature systems. When used with a separate storage tank, the circulation may be either by gravity or by means of a circulating pump.

TWO TEMPERATURE - ONE HEATER HIGH TEMPERATURE DANGER TEMPERATURE SETTING SHOULD NOT EXCEED SAFE TEMPERATURE AT FIXTURES. SEE WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL WARNING ON PAGE 23. IF HIGHER PREHEAT TEMPERATURES ARE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN ADEQUATE BOOSTER OUTPUT, ADD AN ANTI-SCALD VALVE FOR HOT WATER SUPPLIED TO FIXTURES.
MANIFOLD KITS TWO UNIT MANIFOLD KIT PART NO. 195702 Precision cut type “L” all copper State manifold kits assure water flow balance of all units. Without this balance, the full water heating and storage potential of the system cannot be achieved. Plus, the units with the higher water flow may have a shortened life.
HEATER WIRING IF ANY OF THE ORIGINAL WIRE AS SUPPLIED WITH THE APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACED, IT MUST BE REPLACED WITH 105°C WIRE OR ITS EQUIVALENT, EXCEPT IN THE BURNER HOUSING USE 200°C WIRE. The power burner is wired to the heater as shown in Figure 11 for GPG models and Figure 12 for GPV models.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING WARNING: explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. BEFORE OPERATING: ENTIRE SYSTEM MUST BE FILLED WITH WATER AND AIR PURGED FROM ALL LINES. A. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION – Power on. – Heater in standby mode. – Thermostat calls for heat. – Blower motor starts. – Blower operation closes the normally open blower prover/ blocked outlet safety pressure switch. – On proof of airflow, Honeywell S8680J flame control module energized.
1. Check gas line pressure with a manometer. Set initial gas line pressure at 9-10” w.c. before turning the heater “ON”. Read gas line pressure and gas manifold pressure when the heater main gas is “ON”. Adjust gas line regulator setting if the gas line pressure drops below 8”...
GENERAL INFORMATION POWER BURNER The initial start-up procedure of the gas power burner is provided on page 18 thru 21. Refer to Figure 12, burner exploded view for burner components location. The sequence of operation of the power burner is provided on page 15.
DRAINING The heater must be drained if it is to be shut down and exposed to freezing temperatures. Maintenance and service procedures may also require draining the heater. 1. Turn off the heater electrical disconnect switch. 2. Close the cold water inlet valve to heater. 3.
ABOVE ALL, DO NOT PLUG THE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION AND CAN CREATE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. CIRCULATING PUMP The water heating system may include a circulating pump. Where used, it should be lubricated as directed by the circulator manufacturer.
2. Check the fuses. • The electrical disconnect switch usually contains fuses. 3. The capacity of the heater may have been exceeded by a large demand for hot water. 4. Colder incoming water temperature will lengthen the time required to heat water to the desired temperature. •...

and the troubleshooting section of burner manual before continuing. Make sure the appliance is connected to a 120 Vac power supply, burner switch is “ON” and manual gas valve is in the “ON” position, and all electrical connections are secure before continuing to troubleshoot this appliance.
5. As soon as the pilot gas valve is energized, check for the burner pilot flame through the burner peek-hole. If the pilot flame is established inside the burner, then proceed to Step 6. • Turn the burner switch to “OFF” position for at least one minute to reset the heater.
