6.5 WATER TEMPERATURE FAULT TEST

A high water temperature fault is simulated by adjusting the automatic over-temperature switch.
This switch is accessible from the front of the unit as shown in Figure 6-2.

Water Temperature Fault Test

1. Start the unit in the normal operating mode. Allow the unit to stabilize at its setpoint.

2. Lower the adjustable over-temperature switch setting to match the displayed OUTLET

TEMPERATURE.

3. 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.

4. Reset the adjustable over-temperature switch to its original setting.

5. The unit should start once the adjustable temperature limit switch setting is above the

actual outlet water temperature.
