The water heaters covered in this manual are equipped with an

electronic control system that regulates water temperature inside

the storage tank. Heating cycles and ignition are managed by

the control system. The ECO (energy cut out), flame sensor,

pressure switches and temperature probes are monitored by the

control system. The Combustion blower, igniter, 24 VAC gas

Valve and anode rods are all powered by the control system.
The main components of the control system are a uIM (user

interface module) and a CCb (central control board). The uIM

is located on the top front side of the water heater. The CCb is

mounted on top of the water heater inside a protective enclosure.

See Features And Components on page 7 for location of these

and all water heater components.
