the hydroCannon (self-Cleaning system)

These units include The Hydrocannon (Self-Cleaning System) installed

in the front water inlet, see Figure 2. The Hydrocannon inlet tube can

only be used in the front water inlet connection. Do not install the

Hydrocannon inlet tube in either the top or back inlet water connection.

The Hydrocannon must be oriented correctly for proper function. There

is a marked range on the pipe nipple portion of the Hydrocannon, that

must be aligned with the top of the inlet spud. A label above the jacket

hole has an arrow that will point to the marked portion of the pipe nipple

if the orientation is correct. If the arrow does not point within the marked

range on the pipe nipple, adjust the pipe nipple to correct. A pipe union is

supplied with the Hydrocannon to reduce the probability of misaligning

the Hydrocannon accidentally while tightening the connection to the

inlet water supply line. Improper orientation of the Hydrocannon can

cause poor performance of the heater and can significantly reduce

outlet water temperatures during heavy draws.

note: the hydrocannon may have 1, 3 or 7 cross tubes.

high limit switCh

The digital thermostat (Figure 3) contains the high limit (energy

cutout) switch. The high limit switch interrupts burner gas flow should

the water temperature reach 203°F (95°C).
In the event of high limit switch operation, the water heater cannot be

restarted unless the water temperature is reduced to approximately

120°F (49°C). The high limit reset button on the front of the control

then needs to be depressed.
Continued manual resetting of high limit control, preceded by higher

than usual water temperature is evidence of high limit switch operation.
Contact your dealer or service agent if continued high limit switch

operation occurs.

eleCtroniC ignition Control

each heater is equipped with an ignition control. The

solid state ignition control (Figure 4), ignites the burner by

utilizing a spark igniter. The spark igniter shuts off during

the heating cycle and the burner flame is sensed through a

remote flame sensor.
The ignition control will try to ignite the burner three times

before lockout. The control waits 15 minutes before trying

again to ignite the burner. This is a continuous cycle.

The ignition control energizes the Spark Igniter to ignite the burner.

intake air screen

The intake air screen is attached to the inlet end of the combustion

blower. Inspect the intake air screen every six months. The intake

air screen should be cleaned of any buildup of debris or foreign

material.

flame sensor

The control system monitors the flame sensor to confirm that flame

is present at the burner. If a flame is not verified during the ignition

trial period (4 seconds) the control system will immediately de-

energize the 24 VAC Gas Valve as indicated on the Sequence of

Operation Flow Chart (Figure 24).
