possible causes - check/repair displayed fault/alert message
• The water heater’s control system is polarity sensitive and will lock
out and disable heating operation if the polarity of the power supply
is reversed. The control system will display the “AC reversed”
Fault message on the LCD in this condition. See Power Supply
Connections on page 41 for instructions on how to properly connect
the power supply.
note: Electronic flame sensing requires correct power supply
polarity AND a proper earth ground to the water heater and the
main burner. The control system does not verify earth ground
but this should be checked first if ignition failure occurs. See the
ignition Failure Fault message information below.

• The control system has failed to ignite the main burner.
• Water heater is not properly grounded, loose or open ground wire
to the main burner - see Power Supply Connections on page 41.
• Corroded flame sensor, clean flame sensor with fine steel wool
(replace if damaged) - see Figure 2 on page 7.
• Loose or open wiring to the flame sensor.
• Loose or open wiring to the 24 Volt Gas Valve.
• 24 Volt Gas Valve on/off switch in the "off" position - see Figure 57
and Figure 58 on page 53.
• Supply gas turned off, low gas volume - see page 39.
• intake air and/or vent piping is restricted or improperly installed -
see Venting installation on page 22.
• Low or no manifold gas pressure to the main burner - see initial
Start Up on page 52.

• The control system has detected the Low Gas Pressure Switch
contacts are open.
• Loose or open wiring to the Low Gas Pressure Switch - see
beginning on page 8 for location.
• Supply gas pressure is below the required minimum pressure - see
Table 3 on page 12 .
• Supply gas is turned off at the main Shutoff Valve.
• Supply gas pressure is dropping when other gas fired appliances
on a common supply gas line are operating.
• Low volume of supply gas - see Supply Gas Line installation on
page 39 and the requirements for the Gas Supply Systems on
page 14 and Supply Gas regulator on page 14.

Low Gas Pressure
Fault occurred 2 mins ago
The supply gas pressure to the
water heater is low.

• The control system has detected low current (AC amps) from the
Hot Surface igniter. The control system monitors igniter current
and will declare this Fault condition if the current is not at or above
the programmed minimum requirement - see the Sequence Of
Operation on page 58 for minimum igniter amp requirements.
• Loose or open wiring to the Hot Surface igniter - see Figure 2 on
page 7 for igniter location.
• Damaged, worn or open circuit Hot Surface igniter.
note: Hot surface igniters are wearing parts. Wear is directly
related to heating cycle count. Heating cycle count can be viewed
in the Heater Information menu - see Heater Information on page
49. increasing the Differential setting reduces heating cycle count -
see Operating Set Point And Differential Adjustment on page 47.

• The control system has detected the blocked Exhaust Switch
contacts are open.
• The condensate drain is blocked filling the exhaust elbow with
water - clear the condensate drain - see Figure 9 on page 17.
• Loose or open wiring to the blocked Exhaust Switch - see
beginning on page 8 for switch location.
• restricted/blocked vent piping - condensate trapped in low point.
• Excessive equivalent pipe length, exceeded the maximum number
of 90° elbows or wrong pipe size used in the vent piping system -
see Venting requirements on page 24.
• Excessive wind outdoors pressurizing the vent system piping.
• Excessive negative air pressure in the installed space.
CHANGE BACK ADVANCED
Blocked Exhaust
Fault occurred 2 mins ago
The exhaust is blocked or
restricted. Ensure
condensate hose is draining.
