Installation & Operation Manual
8.3.1
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to the Lighting and Shutdown Instructions. See
Figure 16
located inside the top panel.
• STOP! Read IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION in previous section.
• Set temperature thermostat controls to their lowest
setting and turn off the controller. Make sure the
display shows GAS HEATER IS OFF.
• Turn off all electrical power to the heater at the
junction box.
•
This appliance is equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the heater.
Do NOT
try to
light the burner by hand.
•
Remove the heater rear or top panel.
• Unplug gas valve. See
Figure 16
.
•
Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas, then smell
for gas, including near the floor. IF YOU SMELL
GAS, STOP! Follow instructions in Section
8.2.1.
• If no gas is detected, plug gas valve back in.
•
Replace the rear panel and/or top.
• Turn on electrical power to the heater.
• Turn the controller ON by pressing POOL or SPA
and set the temperatures as necessary.
NOTE: If the heater does not start, check that the filter pump is
ON, the filter is clean and that water is flowing to the pool. If the
heater still does not operate, follow the procedure in Section
8.4
to turn off gas supply to the heater.
WARNING
When the heater is fired for the first time, the combustion chamber
refractory binder material is driven out by the heat of the flame.
White smoke and/or sharp odors may be emitted from the vent dur-
ing this period. Do not inhale combustion product fumes at any time,
and especially when these fumes are being emitted. This “burn-in”
period will last only a few minutes.
8.3.2
If Ignition Is Unsuccessful
If ignition is unsuccessful, or the flame fails during
normal operation, the ignition control shuts off the gas
valve. The heater will then go through a post purge
process and attempt to establish stable combustion two
additional times. If ignition is unsuccessful after three
attempts, the system shuts down and will automatically
attempt to restart after one hour.
• To reset the heater to provide three (3) attempts to
start:
• Turn OFF the control then turn it back ON.
• Access either the Pool or Spa mode.
8.4
To Turn Off Gas To The Heater
• Set temperature thermostat
controls to their lowest
setting and turn off the
controller. Make sure the
display shows GAS
HEATER IS OFF.
• Turn off all electrical power
to the heater at the junction
box.
•
Remove the rear panel or top.
• Disconnect power connection to the gas valve by
unplugging the power supply plug from the gas valve
body.
•
Shut off the external gas supply valve to the heater.
•
Replace the rear panel or top.
8.5
Normal Operation
During normal operation, the control system measures
the temperature of the water flowing through the heater
and will begin the start-up process if the temperature is
below the set point. If the blower pressure switch senses
adequate airflow when the blower starts, the ignition
sequence begins. Following a pre purge, the igniter is
energized, then the gas valve opens. As long as a flame is
sensed at the burner, operation continues until the
temperature of the water entering the heater reaches the
temperature control setting.
