OVERVIEW
The water heaters covered in this manual are equipped with an
electronic control system that regulates water temperature inside
the storage tank. Heating cycles and ignition are managed by the
control system. The ECO (energy cut out), Flame Sensor, pressure
switches and Temperature Probe is monitored by the control system.
The Combustion Blower, Igniter and the 24 Volt Gas Valve are all
energized by the control system.
The main components of the control system are a UIM (user interface
module) and a CCB (central control board). The UIM is located on
the top front side of the water heater. The CCB is mounted on top of
the water heater inside a protective enclosure.
COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL MODELS

commercial and residential use. The control system is programmed
differently for commercial and residential models. There are two
differences in control system operation between the residential and

• Commercial models will display Tank Temperature on the Desktop
screen, residential models will not.
• Commercial models can regulate tank temperature up to a
maximum of 180°F (82°C), residential maximum is 160°F
(71°C).
