Choose a location for your water heater centralized to the piping system, along with consideration to vent pipe length. As the length of vent pipe increases the firing rate of the appliance decreases. You must also locate the Voyager where it will not be exposed to freez- ing temperatures.
Page 4
The domestic water connections must be installed in accordance to all local and national plumbing codes, or any applicable standard which prevails. The inlet and outlet ports of the Voyager are 1" on 45 gallon models. On the 80 and 119 gallon models, the inlet and outlet ports are 1 ½".

The gas pressure must remain between 7" and 14" during stand-by and unit running heat cycle. If an in-line regulator is used, it must be a minimum of 10 feet from the Voyager. It is very important that the gas line is properly purged by the gas sup- plier or utility.
Page 6
The vent intake and exhaust must be properly cleaned and glued, for pressure tight joints. Several methods for venting the Voyager can be found on pages 22 and 23. Use the following layout as a guideline; certain site conditions such as multiple roof lines/pitches may require venting modifications-consult factory.

WARNING You must not connect vent connectors serving other appliances vented by natural draft into any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under positive pressure. Follow the venting instructions below carefully. Failure to do so may result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage. Install the water heater venting system in accordance with these instructions and with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, CAN/CGA B149, and/or applicable provisions of local building codes.

The outlet of the filter is sized for 5/8" ID (Inside diameter) plastic tubing. It is very important that the condensate line is sloped away from and down to a suitable inside drain, if the condensate outlet on the Voyager is lower than the drain, you must use a condensate removal pump.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: POWER MUST BE APPLIED TO THE CONTROLLER PRIOR TO ANY PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS. SET POINT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE (CONTINUED) To change or access the programmed temperature set point value, utilize the red button on the display panel. Momentarily depressing the button will briefly illustrate the existing set point value.
CAUTION In unusually dirty or dusty conditions, care must be taken to keep appliance door in place. Failure to do so VOIDS WARRANTY! INTERNAL WIRING For specific wiring information, please refer to the diagrams on pages 18 and 19. SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE If the burner is operating, lower the set point value to 70 degrees F.

ORIFICES All of the Voyager gas fired water heaters have unique air and gas orifice sizes. Special attention should be paid to these sizes when- ever converting a heater from one fuel type to another, or when the orifice is changed for any reason. Below is a list of orifice sizes for conversions to other fuel types and the sizes the voyager was shipped with from the factory.
MAIN CONTROL BOARD WARNING YOU MUST USE A COMBUSTION ANALYZER WHEN SETTING UP THE VOYAGER. ONLY AN HTP APPROVED CONVERSION KIT SHOULD BE USED WHEN DOING A GAS CONVERSION. COMBUSTION SETTINGS HIGH FIRING RATES and LOW FIRING RATES ON ALL MODELS...
