Temperature Limit Switch Setting

Once the adjustable over-temperature switch

setting is approximately at, or just below, the
actual outlet water temperature, the unit
should shut down. The FAULT indicator
should start flashing and a HIGH WATER
TEMP SWITCH OPEN

fault message should

be displayed. It should not be possible to
restart the unit.

Reset the adjustable over-temperature switch to

its original setting.

The unit should start once the adjustable

temperature limit switch setting is above the
actual outlet water temperature.

6.6 INTERLOCK TESTS

The unit is equipped with two interlock circuits
called the Remote Interlock and Delayed
Interlock. Terminal connections for these circuits
are located in the I/O Box (Figure 2-9) and are
labeled REMOTE INTL’K IN and DELAYED
INTL’K IN. These circuits can shut down the
unit in the event that an interlock is opened.
These interlocks are shipped from the factory
jumpered (closed). However, each of these
interlocks may be utilized in the field as a remote
stop and start, an emergency cut-off, or to prove

that a device such as a pump, gas booster, or
louver is operational.

6.6.1 REMOTE INTERLOCK

1. Remove the cover from the I/O Box and

locate the REMOTE INTL’K IN terminals.

2. Start the unit in the Manual Mode and set the

valve position between 25% and 30%.

3. If there is a jumper across the REMOTE

INTL’K IN terminals, remove one side of the
jumper. If the interlock is being controlled by
an external device, either open the interlock
via the external device or disconnect one of
the wires leading to the external device.

4. The unit should shut down and display

INTERLOCK OPEN.

5.

Once the interlock connection is
reconnected, the INTERLOCK OPEN
message should automatically clear and the
unit should restart.

6.6.2 DELAYED INTERLOCK

Remove the cover from the I/O Box and locate
the DELAYED INTL’K IN terminals.

Start the unit in the Manual Mode at a valve
position between 25% and 30%.

If there is a jumper across the DELAYED INTL’K
IN terminals, remove one side of the jumper. If
the interlock is connected to a proving switch of
an external device, disconnect one of the wires
leading to the proving switch.

The unit should shut down and display a
DELAYED INTERLOCK OPEN

fault message.

The FAULT LED should be flashing.

Reconnect the wire or jumper removed in step 3
to restore the interlock.

Press the CLEAR button to reset the fault

The unit should start.

6.7 FLAME FAULT TESTS

Flame faults can occur during ignition or while
the unit is already running. To simulate each of
these fault conditions, proceed as follows:

1. Set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

2. Place the unit in the Manual Mode and set

the valve position between 25% and 30%.
