Air/Fuel Ratio Adjustment
NOTICE: Do not
attempt to adjust the air/fuel mixture by
altering gas or air orifice sizes or by adjusting the gas input
to achieve a particular gas input rate (“clocking the
meter”), as the rate may vary depending on elevation and
local gas heating value.
Do not
attempt to adjust the gas input outside of the speci-
fied range.
Mixture Too Rich - (too much gas)
Symptoms:
A. CO
2
too high or
B. O
2
too low or
C. Burner emits a high pitched whine
Cure:
Call Sta-Rite for a 5%-decrease Propane orifice.
Repeat orifice installation, starting at Step 1, Page 2.
At Step 7, use the 5%-decrease replacement Propane
orifice which should be stamped as shown:

Mixture too Lean - (not enough gas)
Symptoms:
A. CO
2
too low or
B. O
2
too high or
C. Burner sounds rough and pulsating or exhaust has a
highly acrid odor.
Cure:
Call Sta-Rite for a 5%-increase Propane orifice.
Repeat orifice installation, starting at Step 1, Page 2.
At Step 7, use the 5%-increase replacement Propane orifice
which should be stamped as shown:

NOTICE:
If neither correction above produces satisfactory
combustion, consult your Sta-Rite distributor. The air/fuel
ratio is adjusted by replacing the gas orifice with an orifice
of the correct size.

Sequence Of Operation
For detailed information, please refer to Sta-Rite Pool/Spa
Heater Training and Service Manual, publication no.
S5066.
An electronic temperature sensing
thermistor
in the mani-
fold adapter inlet controls the heater operation. When the
inlet water temperature drops below the temperature set on
the
operating control
, the
burner controller
supplies
power to the combustion
air blower
through a series of
safety interlocks.
The interlocks consist of
• the
pressure switch (PS)
, which senses that the pump is
running,
• the
high limit switch (HLS)
, which opens if the heat
exchanger outlet temperature goes above 135°F (57°C),
and
• the
automatic gas shutoff (AGS)
switch, which opens if
the heat exchanger outlet temperature goes above 140°F
(60°C).
• the
stack flue switch
, which opens if the flue gas tem-
perature exceeds 500°F (260°C).
The
air flow switch (AFS)
senses the pressure drop across
the air metering orifice. As soon as there is sufficient air
flow, the AFS closes, closing the circuit to the
hot surface
ignition (HSI)
, which ignites the fuel mixture.
On a call for heat, the blower and HSI are energized. In
about 20 seconds, the gas valve opens and ignition occurs.
The HSI then switches to a sensing mode and monitors the
flame.
