5. Flue gas safety device tripped

Ventilate  the  room  and  operate  the  appliance  10  minutes
later. Provide more combustion air to the room and/or inspect
and correct venting system. Afterwards, if it happens again,
contact your service person.

WATER IS TOO HOT

1

.

Temperature Selection too high

Turn  the  temperature  adjustment  knob  counter-clockwise
(to the left) to lower the maximum water temperature.

Note: This will increase the activation flow rate.

2. Inlet  water  temperature  is  too  hot  (as  with  solar

preheated water or high ground water temperatures)

Decrease gas pressure.

 Note:

 Only the model 125B LPS or

125B NGS should be used if the inlet water is preheated.

3. Ground water temperature is very warm

Reduce  inlet  gas  supply  to  heater  when  inlet  water
temperature is very warm (60-70 F). See also HOT WATER
TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATES / UNIT DEACTIVATED.

WATER IS NOT HOT ENOUGH

1. Temperature selection too low.

Change the setting. Turn the temperature adjustment knob
clockwise (to the right).

Note: This will decrease the activation flow rate.

2. Btu input is too low due to insufficient gas pressure

It is extremely important for a tankless instantaneous
water heater to have the right size gas line to obtain
the 

correct 

gas 

pressure

See  specifications  on  page  2.  Unlike  storage  tank  water
heaters, the burners of a tankless water heater must be very
powerful  to  heat  water  instantaneously  since  they  do  this
only at the time hot water is actually being used. It is therefore
imperative that the gas pressure requirement be met exactly.
Insufficient  gas  pressure  will  directly  affect  the  water
temperature at the time of usage. See page 2 for correct
gas  pressure  settings  and  fig.  5  for  locations  where  gas
pressures are taken.

3. Btu input is too low due to insufficient gas supply

Make  sure  your  main  gas  line  is  fully  opened.  If  using  LP
gas, be sure that the size of the propane tank is adequate to
supply the required gas pressure.

4. Cold water is mixing with the hot water between the
425 HN and the outlet

Compare water temperature at outlet of the 425 HN (hold
the 425 HN outlet pipe with your hand) and at the tap.  If
these  two  are  very  different,  check  for  mixing  valve  or
plumbing  crossover  (see  “NO  SPARK  AT  THE  PILOT”
paragraph #4).

5. Parts in water valve are dirty or damaged, which will

prevent the gas valve from being fully opened.

Water valve maintenance needs to be performed, see #6
under NO SPARK AT THE PILOT

PILOT LIGHTS BUT BURNERS WILL NOT COME ON

1. Confirm water valve assembly is working properly.

See Water Valve under 

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

.

2. Confirm the flame sensor is in its proper position and
clean, lightly wipe clean if dirty.

 See Fig. 10

3. Confirm the burner electrovalve switch is functioning
properly.

Measure milivoltage at burner electrovalve (see Fig. 13).

4. The Electronic Control Box (Fig. 13) may need to be
replaced.

Check  wire  connections  and  test  operation  of  electronic
control box (see Fig. 13).

MAIN BURNERS GO OUT DURING HOT WATER USE

1. Flow rate diminished below activation rate

Increase hot water flow rate.

2. Unbalanced pressure in the water lines

The  added  restriction  caused  by  the  425  HN  in  the  hot
water system can result in uneven pressures between the
cold and the hot. In such cases when mixing cold water at
the tap, the lower hot water pressure may be overpowered
by a much higher cold water pressure, which may cause the
425 HN burners to shut down. Make sure faucet aerators
and showerheads are free of minerals and dirt. Do not add
any flow restrictor to the shower head.

3. Minimum inlet pressure on well is inadequate

Check the inlet water pressure. On a private well, raise the
minimum  pressure  setting  to  30  psi.  Confirm  that  the
pressure tank is not water logged.

4. ECO (overheat sensor) tripped due to overheating

re-ignite the appliance 10 minutes later. If it happens again,
contact your service person.
