5.2.3 Accessing The Analyzer Probe Port
1. Remove the
1/4” NPT plug from the exhaust manifold.
2. If necessary, adjust the stop on the combustion analyzer probe so it will extend mid-way
into the flue gas flow.
DO NOT install the probe at this time.

5.2.4 Recommendations For WHM Operation
It is strongly recommended that installations with multiple CENTURION units operate in Water
Heater Management (WHM) mode (see Section 3.13 for instructions on installing the actuator-
controlled Sequencing Isolation Valve). This is to ensure the system flow is divided between
units as demand increases, and that all units receive equal run time and additional Water
Heaters are activated based on the
Next On
Valve Pos
firing rate setting.
In case of pre-heated DHW systems with multiple
CENTURION units, it is recommended to
lower the
Next On
Valve Pos
setting to 30-40% (Default=50%), so subsequent Water Heaters
are engaged sooner to provide rapid response and divide the system flow over additional units.
In case of DHW pre-heat systems, the required temperature rise through an individual unit can
be much lower to ensure flow per unit does not exceed 50 gal. (189 L) per minute.
5.3 COMBUSTION CALIBRATION
CENTURION Water Heaters are set up for Natural Gas, as specified by the Style Number on
the Sales Order, and calibrated for Standard NOx emissions (<20 ppm) before shipping.
Recalibration as part of initial start-up is necessary due to changes in the local altitude, gas BTU
content, gas supply piping and supply regulators. Combustion Calibration Test Data sheets,
shipped with each unit, must be filled out and returned to PVI for proper Warranty Validation. It
is important to perform the combustion calibration procedure below to provide optimum
performance and keep readjustments to a minimum.
