Electrical/Controls Wiring - WATER HEATER

 

 

Install a 15 am fused disconnect or service switch.  (15 amp). All electrical conduit and hardware should be installed so that it does not interfere with 

the removal of any cover, inhibit service or maintenance, or prevent access between the unit and walls or another unit.  

 

All AM Series pump relays are rated for 3A max. When pumps used exceed 3A, an appropriately sized external relay or starter must be used.  

WATER HEATER APPLICATION 
Basic Wiring and Settings:

 

 

Main Power supply: Terminals 101/102/PE 

 

Low Water Cut Off: Terminals 103/104 

 

Storage tank pump: Terminals 113/114 

 

Storage tank sensor: Terminals 8/9  
(replace factory installed header sensor) 
Set Para. 2003=0 

 

STARTUP PRECEDURE - WATER HEATER APPLICATION 

(Prior to startup, see page 7 for Combustion Calibration) 

1.

 

Open the manual gas shutoff valve.  

2.

 

Turn power switch ON 

3.

 

Change storage tank water temperature: 

C

/

A

. Press 

B

 to save. 

  

NOTE: If the burner fails to ignite within 60 seconds, the boiler will 
attempt ignition another four times. Consult O&M manual if the 
boiler reaches a lockout condition after four ignition retries.  

  

CONNECTING UNITS IN CASCADE: 

Up to eight boilers or water heaters may be combined in a cascading system using 
the optional Cascade Sequencer. Refer to the AERCO Cascade Sequencer user 
manual (GF-146-CS) for installation details. 

MODBUS INTERFACE CONNECTIONS: 

The AM unit can be controlled from a building management system via MODBUS interface. This requires a Communication Module on each unit 
(AM399-1000: factory installed; AM199/250: optional). Refer to the AM Series MODBUS User Manual (GF-146-MB) for wiring and setup details.
