temperatures

operating Set Point And Differential Adjustment
The operating Set Point is adjustable from 90°F (42°C) to 180°F (82°C) for commercial and 160°F (71°C)
on residential models. The factory setting is 120°F (49°C). The differential is adjustable from 2° to 20°.
The factory setting is 8°. When the water temperature sensed by the Control System from the Temperature
Probe reaches the operating Set Point the Control System will end the heating cycle. A heating cycle will be
activated again when the water temperature drops below operating Set Point minus the differential setting.
note: Set the operating Set Point to the lowest setting which produces an acceptable hot water supply for
the most efficient use. Lower differential settings may cause excessive heating cycles (short-cycling) which
can cause premature failure of components such as the Igniter. Set the differential at the highest setting
which produces an acceptable hot water supply to prevent short cycling.
desCription/aCtion
From the desktop Screen, press the operational Button under
MEnu. The "Main Menu" screen will be displayed.
The Main Menu is where all Control System menus are listed,
see Table 7 on page 48 for a complete list and description of

menu, press the operational Button underneath "CHAnGE" to
activate the adjustment mode for this menu item.
If operating Set Point is not selected use the up and down
Buttons to select this menu item.
note: Higher Temperature settings increase wear and
operating costs. Set the operating Set Point to the lowest
setting which produces an acceptable hot water supply. This
will always provide the most energy efficient operation and
longer life.
With the adjustment mode for the operating Set Point activated
the selection bar will change from a black fill to a black outline.
