—Intelligent gas control with spark to pilot ignition system
eliminates the constant burning pilot. This results in savings of pilot gas during standby
periods (120 VAC).
-- Enhanced Performance—Proprietary algorithms provide enhanced First Hour Rating
and tighter temperature differential.
-- Advanced Temperature Control System—Microprocessor constantly monitors and
controls burner operation to maintain consistent and accurate water temperature levels.
-- Intelligent Diagnostics—An exclusive green LED light prompts the installer during
start-up and provides ten different diagnostic codes to assist in troubleshooting.
-- Pilot On Indication—Flashing green LED provides positive indication that pilot is on.
-- Separate Immersed Thermowell—High-strength advanced polymer composite
thermowell provides isolation between electric temperature sensor and surrounding water.
