Installation & Service Manual
Initial Start-up
Follow the Lighting Instructions on the label applied to the
appliance.
A. On water heaters and boilers with the system pump
delay option, the operating temperature control will
energize the pump relay which energizes the pump
on a call for heat. The operating temperature control
will de-energize the pump relay approximately 30
seconds after the call for heat ends. If either the inlet
sensor or the optional multi-purpose temperature
sensor reads below 40°F, the pump relay will turn
ON. When the temperature rises above 50°F the
pump relay will turn OFF.
On boilers, the pump will operate whenever the “W”
terminal is energized.
B. Location - The appliance should be located within
a room having a temperature safely above freezing
[32°F(0°C)].

3/8" NPT plug or bulbwell from the inlet side and one
