TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 1 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS WARNING: If the information in the supplied manual(s) is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or exposure to hazardous materials may result, causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS Do not try to light any appliance.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE It takes only 5 seconds of skin contact with 140°F water to cause a second degree burn! You must protect against high water temperatures at all lavatories, tubs, showers and other points of hot water contact. Accidental scalding from high water temperatures is a greater risk in some types of installations.

TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 3 STANDARD FEATURES AND EQUIPMENT 3.1 Warranty Factory warranty does not cover improper installation or operation. (See warranty for complete details). Warranty exclusions include but are not limited to failure or malfunctions resulting from: 1. 2. 3. 4. 4 Failures to properly apply, install, operate, or maintain the appliance in accordance to printed instructions. Abuse, alteration, accident, fire, flood and the like.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 3. Place the appliance on a level, non-combustible floor. Concrete over wood is not considered noncombustible. 4. Do not install on carpet or other combustible floor coverings. 5. Installation over a combustible floor: Units installed over a combustible floor MUST be provided with a base of hollow clay tile or concrete blocks from 8" to 12" thick and extending 24" beyond the sides.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 5 CONDENSATION NEUTRALIZATION AND DISPOSAL The TURBOPOWER® 99 condensing water heater will produce significant amounts of condensate because of its high efficiency. Condensate occurs naturally when water vapor in combustion gases is cooled below the dew point. Although only slightly acidic, the condensate is routed through a condensate neutralization system to become lower the pH, allowing for disposal into a drain or sewer system.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 7 VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL REMOTE AIR 7.1 Vertical or Horizontal Remote Air Option The vertical or horizontal remote air system requires a factory or site installed remote combustion air inlet option package. If your water heater does not include this optional equipment, contact your PVI sales representative to purchase the Remote Air Kit. The air inlet termination cap supplied with combustion air inlet option must be installed.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 8 VENTING PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION The TURBOPOWER® 99 is designed for operation with a "positive pressure vent system" constructed of locally obtained 4” or 5" (or larger) schedule 40 or 80 solid PVC or CPVC pipe. Do not use PVC or CPVC pipe with cell/foam type construction (such as “CellCore”) or other non-solid PVC plastic pipe. Larger solid PVC pipe may be substituted; however, a PVC increaser to the larger size must be used. Do not insulate the plastic vent pipe.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 8.5 Horizontal and Vertical Venting Through a Wall or Roof Vent terminal locations, clearances, warnings and requirements stated in this manual apply, whether combustion air comes from the room or is ducted from outdoors. 1. The solid PVC or CPVC vent pipe must be sealed to the wall or roof at the point where it passes through the wall or roof. 2. The vent must be terminated with the vent termination cap provided by PVI. 3.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER Horizontal Venting and Outside Combustion Air Follow all requirements in this manual and other instructions and markings for venting flue products to the outdoors, obtaining adequate combustion and ventilation air and general installation instructions.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 9 GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING Verify that the type of gas specified on rating plate is supplied to the unit. This unit is orificed for operation up to 2000 feet altitude. The appliance Btu/h output, like other similar equipment, derates approximately 4% per 1000 feet above sea level. Consult Factory for installations above 2000 feet elevation. 9.1 Inlet Pressure: Measured at the inlet pressure tap located at the main gas cock.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER MULTIPLE UNIT INSTALLATIONS GAS PIPING SIZE CHART Maximum Capacity of Pipe in Thousands of BTU’s per hour for gas pressures of 14 Inches Water Column (0.5 PSIG) or less and a pressure drop of 0.05 Inch Water Column (Based on NAT GAS, 1025BTU’s per Cubic Foot of Gas and 0.60 Specific Gravity).
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 10 GENERAL INFORMATION 10.1 Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve(s) Pipe the relief valve discharge to a suitable open drain. The drain pipe may not be smaller than the relief valve opening and must be secured to prevent it from lifting out of the drain under discharge pressure. Do not install valves or restrictions in the discharge line. 10.2 Lower LED Readout An adjustable digital operating control is located in the front control panel.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 11 TEMPTRAC™ ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER PANEL 11.1 Principle Of Operation The water heater operates to satisfy the setpoint of the TempTrac digital control whose sensor is located near the top of the water heater tank. Demand (flow) will typically create a drop in temperature, thus activating the water heater to add heat to the stored water. This setpoint is the desired water temperature to maintain. 11.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 11.5 To View the Setpoint Push and release the SET key to see the set point value. To return to normal display, press SET + UP or wait 15 seconds without pressing any key. 11.6 To Change the Setpoint Push the SET key. The upper display will show the “St1” parameter name, while the lower display will show its value. Use the UP or DOWN key to cycle through the parameter names. Push the SET key to modify a parameter value.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 11.8 LED Display Alarm Messages Alarm messages are displayed in the upper LED readout and alternate with the default display. An alarm LED ICON is also illuminated. (See TempTrac User Manual PV500-40 for full description.) RESULTS OF ALARM CONDITION RECOMMENDED ACTION TP1 probe failure Inlet temperature sensor is not connected or is reading incorrectly. Call for heat and burner modulation output signal will revert to low fire.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 12 REMOTE CONNECTIONS – TERMINAL STRIP A terminal strip for the remote connection is located behind the hinged control panel at the top of the cabinet and is accessed by removing the bottom cover and then removing the screws at the top of the hinged cover.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 13 START-UP PROCEDURE WARNING: You must connect the supplied gas train assembly to the burner union. Then connect the gas supply to the gas train. Do not connect the gas supply directly to this union. Failure to install the supplied gas train to the burner union before connecting the gas supply may result in uncontrolled gas flow into the appliance and/or the appliance area.
TURBOPOWER 99 WATER HEATER 18. If the burner fails to light, the flame control will lockout. When this happens press the reset button on the front of the control to recycle burner. 19. Once the main burner flame is established the firing rate will be controlled by the TempTrac control. 20. While the unit is running, verify the inlet gas pressure is within the range shown in the “GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING” section of this manual. 21. Burner Combustion Adjustment.
