WARNING Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, injury or death. Read and understand this installation and operation manual thoroughly prior to assembly, installation, operation or service to this appliance. This heater must be installed and serviced only by a trained gas service technician. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other gas fired appliance.
WARNING Heater Expansion It is a normal condition that during heat-up and cool-down a tube heater will expand and contract. Allowances for heater expansion must be made in the gas connection, venting and combustion air ducting. Improper installation, alteration, or adjustment can result in property damage, injury or death. Refer to Section 13 WARNING Gas Connection Improper installation, connection, or adjustment can result in property damage, toxic gases, asphyxiation, injury or death.
WARNING Tube “GLOW” It is a normal condition that the combustion tube (1st tube) can appear to “glow red”. For inputs up to 150,000 Btuh, the top surface of the tube can appear red where heat is trapped between the reflector and the tube. The stainless steel tube used for inputs 175,000 and greater can appear to entirely glow red. The tube material is designed into the heater because it can withstand the high temperature of combustion, and the “red glow” is a normal occurrence.

20. FENWAL DSI: SEQUENCE OF OPERATION / FLAME RECOVERY / SAFETY LOCKOUT Power Up / Stand By Upon applying 24 volts power to 24VAC, the control will reset, perform a self check routine, initiate full time flame sensing, flash the diagnostic LED for up to four seconds, and enter the thermostat scan state. Heat Mode When a call for heat is received from the thermostat supplying 24 volts to TH, the control checks the pressure switch for normally open contacts.
Flame Fault If at any time the main valve fails to close completely and maintains a flame, the full time flame sense circuit will detect it and energize the combustion blower. Should the main valve later close completely removing the flame signal, the combustion blower will power off following the optional post purge period. Fault Conditions The LED will flash on for 1/4 second, then off for 1/4 second during a fault condition. The pause between fault codes is 3 seconds.
