PROCEDURE FOR INITIAL LIGHTING
IF THE UNIT IS TO OPERATE ON LPG REFER TO SECTION 14: LPG FUEL BEFORE PROCEEDING
1.
Ensure that the gas inlet appliance isolating valve, provided by the installer, is in the “off” position.
2.
Press the power rocker switch, positioned on the back of the appliance to bring the equipment on.
3.
Press the Enter/Reset button on the SMART SYSTEM control panel to initiate the burner.
4.
The combustion fan should ramp up to full speed to purge the combustion chamber and then drop back to
half rate in order to light. The spark generator should create a spark, visible through the burner sight glass.
As the gas inlet appliance isolating valve is closed, the controls should go to a flame failure condition after
four ignition attempts (EKW45CE – EKW115CE) or one ignition attempt (EKW145CE
–
EKW235CE). If the
above occurs correctly, open the gas inlet appliance isolating valve and reset the unit by depressing the
Enter/Reset button on the control panel.
5.
The combustion fan will repeat the pre-purge procedure and attempt to light. Once a flame is established,
the LCD display will change to display the rate at which it is firing.
6.
Allow the system to reach temperature to check operation of the control sensors.
7.
Once appliance shuts down, check that the main flame has extinguished.

GAS PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT AND COMBUSTION CHECKS
The Lochinvar EcoKnight™
series are supplied with a preset gas/air ratio inlet assembly. This must not be
tampered with. Any attempt to adjust the gas valve or venturi will invalidate the warranty.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
The setpoint can be adjusted using the
Up
and
Down
buttons on the Smart System control panel. Once the desired
setpoint is displayed, the
Enter/Reset
button should be pressed to store the value.
The setpoint should be adjusted to ensure that the water is stored at 60°C and distributed at 50°C within 1 (one)
minute at all outlets. Care is needed to avoid much higher temperatures because of the risk of scalding. At 50°C the
risk of scalding is small for most people, but the risk increases rapidly with higher temperatures and for longer
exposure times. The risk to young children and to those with a sensory or mobility loss will be greater. Where a
significant scalding risk has been identified, the use of thermostatic mixing valves on baths and showers should be
considered to reduce temperature, these need to be placed as close to the point of use as possible.
