Raypak 055B - Manual (Page 8)

PART 2 - INSTALLATION / SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION 1 / RECEIVING EQUIPMENT
On receipt of your equipment it is suggested that you
visually check for external damage to the carton. If the
carton is damaged, a note should be made on the Bill of
Lading when signing for equipment. Remove the heater
from the carton and if it is damaged, report the damage
to the carrier immediately.
On occasion, we ship some items loose. Be sure that
you receive the number of packages indicated on the Bill
of Lading.
When ordering parts, you must specify model and
serial number of heater. When ordering under warranty
conditions, you must also specify date of installation.
Raypak recommends that this manual be reviewed
thoroughly before installing your Raypak pool/spa
heater. If there are any questions that this manual does
not answer, please contact the factory or your local
Raypak representative.
SECTION 2/GENERAL SPECIFICATION
These heaters are design certified and tested under
the requirements of ANSI Z21.56/CSA 4.7 American
National Standard / CSA standards for gas-fired pool
heaters
The heater is interchangeable and can be used either
indoor or outdoors. The appropriate top designated for
that type of use is required. If desired, the top can be
changed at a later date to change from outdoor to indoor
or vice versa. Millivolt heaters contain a self-generating
electrical system operating between .25 and .75 volts.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RATING OF HEATER COM-
PONENTS
Millivolt Heater with Honeywell Gas Valve
+32°F to+175°F
Millivolt Heater with Robertshaw Gas Valve
0°F to +175°F
Electronic Ignition Heaters*
-32°F to +175°F
*Requires 120V or 240V power supply
Rated inputs suitable for up to 2000 feet elevation. For
elevations above 2000 feet, reduce input 4% for each
1000 feet above sea level, as high elevation reduces
combustion performance. For Canada, reduce input
10% when installed at 2000-4500 foot elevation.

INSTRUCTIONS
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: This product con-
tains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
These instructions are intended for the use of quali-
fied personnel only, specifically trained and experienced
in the installation of this type of heating equipment and
related system components. Installation and service
personnel may be required by some states to be li-
censed. If your state is such, be sure your contractor
bears the appropriate license. Persons not qualified
shall not attempt to fix this equipment nor attempt
repairs according to these instructions.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, altera-
tion, service or maintenance may damage the equip-
ment, create a hazard resulting in asphyxiation, explo-
sion or fire, and will void the warranty.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: The heater should not be located in an area
where possible water leakage will result in damage to
the area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure.
When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recom-
mended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained,
be installed under the appliance. The pan must not
restrict combustion air flow.
Installation must be in accordance with local codes,
or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest editions
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. For Canada,
the latest edition of CAN/CGA B-149.1 and B-149.2
BASE INSTALLATION
Heater must be mounted on a level surface. It can
be installed on combustible flooring. Heaters may not
be installed on carpeting.
CLEARANCES
WARNING: The heater shall not be located in an area
where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause
water to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the
heater. This could cause heavy internal rusting or
damage some electrical components and this would void
the warranty.
