The Programmable Efficiency FVIR Defender Safety System
®
Models Feature:
■ Bradford White ICON System
™
—Intelligent gas control with spark to pilot ignition system
eliminates the constant burning pilot. This results in savings of pilot gas during stand by
periods (120 V.A.C.).
-- Enhanced Performance—Proprietary algorithms provide enhanced First Hour Delivery
ratings and tighter temperature differentials.
-- Advanced Temperature Control System—Microprocessor constantly monitors and
controls burner operation to maintain consistent and accurate water temperature levels.
-- Intelligent Diagnostics—An exclusive green LED light prompts the installer during start-up
and provides ten different diagnostic codes to assist in troubleshooting.
-- Separate Immersed Thermowell—High strength advanced polymer composite
thermowell provides isolation between electric temperature sensor and surrounding water.
No need to drain the tank when removing gas valve.
■ Fully Programmable LCD Digital Control—Provides full 7-day, 4 period/day (wake, leave,
return, sleep) control of the water heater saving up to 36% on energy usage. Can also be
programmed to comply with Sabbath requirements*.
-- Capacity Bar Indicator—A digitally displayed six indicator bar graph provides approximate
gallons in tank of programmed set point temperature. As hot water is drawn, the indicator
bars are reduced.
-- Set Point Temperature Readout—Digitally displayed to provide approximate readout of
programmed set point temperature (not actual temperature in tank).
■ Accessory Module—Power source for programmable control that incorporates a multi-color
LED status indicator for diagnostics of system.
■ Compatible With Optional Accessory Packages—Protection Package and Inlet Shut-Off Valve.
■ Advanced ScreenLok
®
Technology Flame Arrestor Design—Flame arrestor is designed to
prevent ignition of flammable vapor outside of the water heater.
■ Flammable Vapor Sensor—Electronic sensor prevents burner operation if flammable vapors
are detected.
■ Resettable Thermal Switch—Proven and reliable bimetallic switch prevents burner and pilot
operation in case of ongoing flammable vapor burn inside of the combustion chamber or
restricted air flow.
■ Maintenance Free—No regular cleaning of air inlet openings or flame arrestor is required
under normal conditions.
■ Sight Window—Offers a view into the combustion chamber to observe the operation of the
pilot and burner.
■ Factory installed Hydrojet
®
Total Performance System—Cold water inlet sediment
reducing device helps prevent sediment build up in tank. This increases first hour delivery,
while minimizing temperature build up at top of tank.
■ Vitraglas
®
Lining—Bradford White tanks are lined with an exclusively engineered enamel
formula that provides superior tank protection from the highly corrosive effects of hot water.
This formula (Vitraglas
®
) is fused to the steel surface by firing at a temperature of over 1600°F
(871°C).
■ 2" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Covers the sides and top of tank, reducing the amount of
heat loss.
■ Pedestal Base.
■ Water Connections—3⁄4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings.
■ Factory Installed Heat Traps—Design incorporates a flexible disk that reduces heat loss in
piping and eliminates the potential for noise generation.
■ Protective Magnesium Anode Rod.
■ 3x4 “Snap Lock” Draft Diverter—Allows either 3" or 4" vent connections with inputs of
40,000 BTU/Hr or less. Over 40,000 BTU/Hr. has the 4" “Snap Lock” Draft Diverter.
■ T&P Relief Valve—Included.
■ Low Restriction Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
