3.2 Principle components
- A fully integrated electronic control board featuring electronic temperature control, self diagnostic fault indicator, continuous gas modulation.
-
Electronic ignition with flame supervision.
- Fan.
- Differential air pressure switch.
- Two-stage gas valve.
3.3 Mode of operation
When there is a request for hot water via a hot water outlet or tap, the water flow switch senses water movement thereby energizing the fan, the
fan proves the differential air pressure switch which in-turn allows an ignition sequence to begin.
Ignition is sensed by the electronic circuitry to ensure flame stability at the burner. Once successful ignition has been achieved, the electronic
circuitry increases the gas rate to maximum or modulates to suit the set requirement.
When the appliance reaches the desired temperature the burner will modulate to maintain the desired temperature. Should the temperature
continue to increase, the burner will shut off when the maximum operating temperature is attained.
When the request for hot water has been satisfied the appliance fan may continue to operate to dissipate any residual heat within the appliance.
3.4 Safety devices
When the appliance is in use, safe operation is ensured by:
- a high limit thermostat that over-rides the temperature control circuit to prevent or interrupt the operation of the burner;
-
a differential air pressure switch that checks the operation of the fan and flue thereby allowing safe operation of the burner;
-
a flame supervision device that will shut off the gas supply to the burner when no flame signal is detected.
