BURNER GAS PRESSURE CHECK
Voltages up to 240 volts will be present within the water heater, take care
not to touch wiring terminals. Use an insulated tool when operating the DIP
switch or MIN and MAX buttons.
Minimum Burner Gas Pressure
1. Ensure all hot taps are closed.
2. Remove the front cover from the water heater.
3. Locate the burner pressure test point on the burner manifold.
4. Remove the test point screw and fit manometer.
5. Open a hot tap slowly, to achieve the minimum flow rate at
which the burners will ignite.
6.
Press and hold the MIN button (“1L” is shown on the LED
display) and observe the reading on the manometer.
7. Release the MIN button. If the reading observed in step 6
matches the minimum gas pressure indicated on the rating
label no further adjustment is required.
8. To adjust minimum gas pressure, press and
hold the adjuster button (“LH” is shown on
the LED display).
Note:
The adjuster button must be held down through steps 8 to 11.
9. Press and hold the MIN button and observe the reading on the manometer.
10. Release the MIN button when the pressure indicated on the manometer matches the
minimum gas pressure listed on the rating label.
11. Release the adjuster button.
Maximum Burner Gas Pressure
12. Open the hot water tap fully to allow the water heater to ignite at
maximum operating flow. Multiple outlets may need to be opened
in order to achieve maximum water flow.
13.
Press and hold the MAX button (“3H” is shown on the LED display)
and observe the reading on the manometer.
14. Release the MAX button. If the reading observed in step 13
matches the maximum gas pressure indicated on the rating label
no further adjustment is required.
15. To adjust maximum gas pressure, press and hold the adjuster
button (“LH” is shown on the LED display).
Note:
The adjuster
button must be held down through steps 15 to 18.
16. Press and hold the MAX button and observe the reading on the
manometer.
17. Release the MAX button when the pressure indicated on the manometer matches the
maximum gas pressure listed on the rating label.
18. Release the adjuster button and turn the hot tap/s off.
19. Remove manometer, refit the test point screw ensuring the seal is gas tight and refit the
front cover to the water heater.
Adjustment of the burner pressure will not overcome problems associated
with poor supply pressure or incorrect gas supply pipe sizing.
NOTE:
If the burners extinguish or an error code appears during this procedure, release the
buttons,
close the hot tap, clear the error code and recommence the procedure from step 5.
