Check flame and combustion
(continued)
4.
Place the water heater into the active position by pressing
the SHUTDOWN button on the display board
(FIG. 11-1, page 61) until
WHR:Standby
appears in
the display window.
5. Locate the pinhole button above the “R” in the Armor
logo on the display board (FIG. 11-1). Insert a thin wire
(such as a paper clip) into the hole and press the button
once and hold for 5 seconds to place the water heater into
Service Mode. In Service Mode the water heater will fire
at ignition speed and will then modulate up to full fire.
6. Insert the probe from a combustion analyzer into the hole
left by the removal of the flue temperature sensor.
7. Once the water heater has modulated up to full fire,
measure the combustion. The values should be in the
range listed in Table 10A below. The CO levels should be
less than 150 ppm for a properly installed unit.
If the combustion is not within the specified range,
reference the Troubleshooting Section of the Armor
Water Heater Service Manual for possible causes and
corrective actions.
Set water heater operation
Set tank set point temperature
If the tank sensor is connected the UP and DOWN keys may be
used during normal operation to adjust the tank set point
temperature. Once the desired temperature is displayed, press
the ENTER/RESET key to save the new setting. If the
ENTER/RESET key is not pressed, the new setting will be used
for the current heating cycle only. The old setting will become
active after the current heating cycle ends.

8.
Once the combustion analysis is complete, test the safety
shutoff device by turning the manual shutoff valve to the
OFF position and ensuring that the water heater shuts
down and registers an alarm. Open the manual shutoff
valve, reset the control, and return to Service Mode.
9.
Turn the main power off to the water heater and
replace the flue temperature sensor into the flue pipe
connection.
10. Place the water heater back into normal operation.
You must replace the flue gas temperature
sensor to prevent flue gas spillage into the
room. Failure to comply could result in
severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.

Start-up
(continued)
If a tank thermostat is used, set the water heater set point above
the setting of the tank thermostat by pressing the MENU key for
at least 5 seconds (see the Armor Service Manual for a detailed
explanation of this procedure). The SMART SYSTEM control
will use this set point to modulate the burner based on the inlet
temperature into the water heater. If a tank sensor is used, set
the water heater set point to the desired tank temperature.
Verify WHR circulator mode
When the tank thermostat or tank sensor calls for heat, the
SMART SYSTEM control will turn on the water heater pump.
When the DHW call for heat ends, the water heater pump will
continue to run for a period of time. This pump delay is set at
the factory to 30 seconds. If a shorter or longer delay is desired,
the appropriate parameter in the control must be changed. See
the Armor Water Heater Service Manual for a detailed
explanation of this procedure.
