ULTRAFORCE COMMERCIAL GAS WATER HEATER
INSTALLATION QUICK TIPS - SUF 199 AND 250 GAS PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE:
GAS PRESSURE
SUF 199 AND 250 MODELS
IMPORTANT NOTE
THE SUF 199 AND 250 MODELS
INCORPORATE A NEW GAS CONTROL,
WHICH OPERATES AT A MANIFOLD
PRESSURE OF 0"W.C. (0 kPa) FOR BOTH
NATURAL AND PROPANE GAS. SEE THE
GAS PRESSURE CHART ON PAGE 4.
THESE MODELS ARE CONFIGURED
PRIOR TO BEING SHIPPED FROM THE
FACTORY AND NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE
NECESSARY PRIOR TO STARTUP. THE
CONTROLLER MONITORS THE AIR FLOW
AND MAKES ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FAN
SPEED WHICH IN EFFECT CONTROLS
THE AMOUNT OF GAS FLOW.
THEREFORE, THE UNIT WILL SELF
ADJUST TO ACQUIRE THE CORRECT
AMOUNT OF INPUT.
"Supply gas pressure to the water heater
must not exceed a maximum of 10.5" w.c.
(295kPa) for natural gas, or 14" w.c. (3.45
kPa) for propane. The minimum supply gas
pressure is 4.8" w.c. (1.20 kPa) for natural
gas and 8.5" w.c. (2.12 kPa) for propane
gas."
Once the unit is installed and filled with water
and the inlet pressures confirmed, simply
turn the switch "on" and observe operation.
Cycle the unit "off" and "on" several times to
ensure proper operation.
