OPERATING, INSTALLATION, AND SERVICE MANUAL FOR THE VOYAGER GAS FIRED WATER HEATER SUPER HIGH EFFICIENCY GAS FIRED WATER HEATING COMBINATION APPLIANCE member gama gama ANSI Z 21.10.3 MANUFACTURED BY: HEAT TRANSFER PRODUCTS, INC. P.O. BOX 429, 120 BRALEY ROAD EAST FREETOWN, MA 02717 TEL.: 1-508-763-8071 and (outside of MA) 1-800-323-9651...
TO REFERENCE VOYAGER MODEL NUMBERS, PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES: - 45 Temperature Warranty A = 6 yrs. parts; 6 yrs. comm.; 10 yrs. res. (Degrees Fahrenheit) Series BTU U.S. Temp. Warr. Gas Type B = 1 yr. parts; 3 yrs. comm.; 10 yrs. res.
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.
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.
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 21 and 22. Use the following layout as a guideline; certain site conditions such as multiple roof lines/pitches may require venting modifications-consult factory.

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.
Make sure that the cold water supply has been turned on and that the Voyager is completely filled with water. Verify this by opening a hot water faucet, and allowing water to flow until all air is removed and a clear water flow is present;...
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. If the button is held down for more than one second, the programming mode is entered and the set point value will begin incrementing by one degree per second.
STATUS INDICATORS Pages 15, 16, and 17 contain seven individual diagrams which illustrate the various operating states of the appliance and their relation to the LED status indicators found on the controller. These diagrams reflect normal water heater operation. MAINTENANCE The control system requires no periodic maintenance under normal conditions.

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.
BOARD VERY IMPORTANT SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS! IF YOU HAVE A COMBUSTION ANALYZER, THE FOLLOWING RATINGS WILL BE VERY HELPFUL IN SETTING UP YOUR VOYAGER: FOR NATURAL GAS - CO2 READING SHOULD BE BETWEEN 9 ½% & 10 ½% O2 READING SHOULD BE BETWEEN 3 ½% & 4 ½%...

GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS IF UNIT IS INSTALLED, TURN OFF POWER AND GAS SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CONVERSIONS. TO CHANGE GAS ORIFICE, DISCONNECT UNION (#6) BETWEEN THE GAS VALVE AND AIR INLET; REMOVE OLD GAS ORIFICE (#5), AND INSTALL THE NEW GAS ORIFICE IN THE UNION THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE UNIT MODEL NUMBER AND FUEL BEING USED.
Page 36
SHUT OFF THE GAS VALVE BY TURNING THE BLUE KNOB ON THE VALVE TO THE "OFF" POSITION. SHUT OF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE VOYAGER. BREAK THE UNION ON THE GAS LINE LOCATED BEFORE THE GAS VALVE, AND REMOVE THE HALF OF THE UNION THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE GAS VALVE INLET PIPE.
Page 37
BREAK THE UNION THAT CONNECTS THE GAS VALVE TO THE AIR INLET MANIFOLD. SLIDE THE GAS VALVE OUT THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE VOYAGER CABINET. REMOVE THE GAS VALVE WIRING HARNESS FROM THE GAS VALVE. GAS VALVE REPLACEMENT - INSTALLATION NOTE: IF YOU HAVE TWO MANOMETERS AVAILABLE, THEN FOLLOW INSTALLATION PROCEDURE #2.

REMOVE THE SMALL ROUND BRASS PLUG FROM THE GAS VALVE BY TURNING IT COUNTER-CLOCKWISE WITH A PAIR OF SNAP RING OR NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS. TURN THE LINE VOLTAGE BACK ON, TO THE VOYAGER. GAS VALVE ADJUSTMENT LET THE UNIT START TO CYCLE AND LISTED CAREFULLY TO THE IGNITION. IF THE IGNITION WAS QUIET, THE VALVE WILL NEED NO ADJUSTMENT.

TURN THE ADJUSTMENT SCREW TWO FULL TURNS COUNTERCLOCKWISE. SHUT THE VOYAGER DOWN, THEN START IT UP AGAIN; LET IT RE-LIGHT. IF THE IGNITION WAS GOOD, THE VALVE NEEDS NO FURTHER ADJUSTMENT. IF THE IGNITION WAS POOR, SHUT DOWN THE UNIT AND LET IT CYCLE AGAIN.

HOW TO SIZE THE COMBINATION SYSTEM FOR RADIANT HEATING IT IS IMPORTANT TO SIZE BOTH HEATING LOAD AND DOMESTIC HOT WATER LOAD, IN CHOOSING WHICH VOYAGER SSVH MODEL YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE FOR THE JOB. ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE IS A CHART WHICH REPRESENTS DESIGN OUTPUTS OF THE SECONDARY HEAT EXCHANGER IN THE VOYAGER SSVH MODEL.
Page 43
**FOR SSVH-199-80 MODELS ONLY! NOTE: THE VOYAGER MUST BE SET 25 DEGREES F. ABOVE THE SYSTEM TEMPERATURE. THE ABOVE CHART IS BASED ON USING THE CIRCULATOR BETWEEN THE DOMESTIC COLD WATER INLET AND THE DOMESTIC HOT WATER OUTLET. FOR SET POINT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 120 DEGREES F., YOU MUST USE AN ANTI-SCALD TEMPERING VALVE ON THE OUT- LET TO DOMESTIC HOT WATER FIXTURES.
WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE NORMAL OPERATING SEQUENCE IN A HEAT CYCLE. THE 1200 BOARD AND BLOWER SYSTEM PARTS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE WITH THE VOYAGER PARTS (1000 SYSTEM) PREVIOUS TO THE 1200 SYSTEM. PARTS FOR THE OLD 1000 VOYAGER SYSTEM ARE STILL AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR STANDARD DISTRIBUTION.
