4. Combustion control of rich and lean burners 1) Ignition start After the Main Gas Solenoid Valve, Gas Solenoid Valve 1, Gas Solenoid Valve 2 open respectively as required, the Gas Modulating Solenoid Valve, being held at the slow igni- tion position (with gas supply at a constant rate), operates to ignite rich burners and lean burners.
1-6 Main Safety Devices 1. Water flow sensor (Boil-dry protection) When the water flow sensor detects the flow rate set for starting ignition (ignition water flow) or higher, the water heater starts operation. Ignition water flow: 0.71 GPM (2.7 L/min.) Extinction water flow: 0.58 GPM (2.2 L/min.) 2.
1-7 Scale Build Up Alarm Summary The temperature of residual hot water becoms higher as scale starts to build up inside the heat exchanger. The extent of scale build up is judged by monitoring the temperature of re- sidual hot water. “LC”, scale build up alarm, is indicated on the remote controller. Flow chart (See page 35) 1) The set temperature by remote controller needs to be 120F and over to activate the alarm.
