    FAULT AND ALERT CODES FAULT AND ALERT CODES 1. LOW GAS PRESSURE The minimum gas supply pressure is measured while gas is flowing (dynamic pressure) along with all additional gas appliances operating on the same gas supply system. Cyclone XL water heater can operate smoothly when gas supply pressure is as low as 3.5” WC dynamic for natural gas and 8.0”...
  • Page 11 Service notes: • The manifold gas pressure is non-adjustable as these are zero-governing gas systems. • There is usually a drop in supply gas pressure noticed when the water heater’s 24 Volt Gas Control Valve opens during ignition. The manifold pressure will go from a negative value (during pre-purge) to near zero when gas is flowing. •...

    VENTING VENTING This section of the Service Handbook is not a complete venting installation instruction. Refer to the Instruction Manual that came with the water heater; ensure the venting has been installed per all Instruction Manual requirements. Costs to correct installation errors are not covered under the limited warranty.
  • Page 25: Intake Air Connection

    INTAKE AIR CONNECTION INTAKE AIR CONNECTION The intake air connection has a screen and a hose barb installed at the factory, see Figure below. The intake air connection screen is installed to prevent debris from entering the Combustion Blower and/or Burner. This screen is left in place when the water heater is installed in a Power Vent configuration but must be removed before connecting the intake air piping on Direct Vent installations.
  • Page 26: Electrical Connections - All Models

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – ALL MODELS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – ALL MODELS The water heaters covered in this Service Handbook require a 120 VAC, 1Ø (single phase), 60Hz, 15 amp power supply and must also be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

  • Page 29: Operation And Service

    OPERATION AND SERVICE OPERATION AND SERVICE HOW IT WORKS This section of the Service Handbook will cover operation, common service procedures and water heater construction. The water heater covered in this Service Handbook has a helical shaped coil heat exchanger that is submerged in the storage tank. These water heaters use a top mounted down fired radial design Burner.
  • Page 30: Blower Speed Control

    BLOWER SPEED CONTROL BLOWER SPEED CONTROL The CCB monitors a feedback signal from a sensor that is installed on the blower. The CCB interprets the pulse signal from the sensor and then sends a signal to the blower to produce the proper blower speed and input. These models are capable of modulating their input rate.

  • Page 32: Spark Igniter

    SPARK IGNITER SPARK IGNITER The water heaters covered in this Service Handbook use a Spark Igniter. The Spark Igniter has two rods: the sparking rod that has ceramic insulation and the grounding rod. See Figure 21. During trial for ignition, the Control System powers a high voltage transformer (Ignition Control) from J6, and the Ignition Control supplies high voltage to the sparking rod via the ignition cable.
  • Page 33: Ccb (Central Control Board)

    CCB )CENTRAL CONTROL BOARD) CCB )CENTRAL CONTROL BOARD) The CCB is a printed circuit board mounted inside a protective plastic enclosure, see Figures below and on next page. The CCB circuit board is the main control. All instructions for ignition and temperature control originate from this circuit board. Diagnostic and operational messages are generated by the CCB and sent to the UIM.
  • Page 34: Ccb Cover Removal And Replacement

    CCB COVER REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT The cover on the CCB enclosure must be removed for various service procedures outlined in this Service Handbook. Refer to the instructions below when removing and replacing the CCB cover. Wiring to and from the CCB and other water heater components enters the CCB enclosure on the bottom. Removing the enclosure cover is a simple procedure.

    CPAM – COMMERCIAL POWER ANODE MODULE The CPAM, which is mounted on the control panel backplate behind the UIM, provides catholic protection to the water heater tank through the two front-side mounted power anodes. The CPAM module will communicate with the CCB for its current, voltages. CPAM faults will be monitored by the CCB which will issue a fault for the powered anode circuit and will be displayed on the UIM.

    CONTROL OVERVIEW CONTROL OVERVIEW Interaction with the water heater controller is through an UIM Touch Display called the User Interface Modele )UIM). This screen is also referred to as the “desktop” or “desktop mene”. While the water heater is operating, the user interface will display the UIM screen (if there are no active faults or warnings). An example of this screen is shown below.
