WV8840B Water Heater Controls
APPLICATION
The WV8840 Water Heater Control is designed for use in
Standing Pilot applications using an immersion well for
water temperature sensing. All models of WV8840
include an integrated NTC temperature sensor.
The WV8840 is powered from a thermopile heated by the
standing pilot flame. CS8840 pilot assemblies are
designed for use with this control.
The immersion well for sensing water temperature has
matched NTC thermistor sensors. These sensors
provide the fail-safe mechanism through which the
WV8840 can provide both accurate water temperature
control as well as water temperature limit (Temperature
Cut-Out [TCO]) function.
SPECIFICATIONS
IMPORTANT
WV8840 controls provide direct replacement
only.
