Which type of booster heater do I have?
PrecisionTemp manufactures two booster heater models.
1. The PT-56 is used for all single rack door-type dishmachines. This unit is ETL certified
for ventless operation (check local codes as some states do not allow ventless gas
appliances) and has an internal tank and pump.
2. The PT-200 is used for all conveyor and flight type dishmachines. This unit requires a
flue be fitted. This flue can exit into the pant leg duct or exhaust / condensate hood over
the dishmachine (check local codes). There are three types of PT-200:
a. PT-200FT-199,000BTU
the dishmachine, typically under the dish table. Rinse flow rate 4-5+gpm.
NOTE: The NSF-5 Code requires that booster heaters be located within five pipe
feet of the dishmachine to maintain proper rinse temperature. If this cannot be
accomplished, the pipe must be insulated or a recirculation system be installed.
b. PT-200OR-125,000BTU same as the PT-200FT, it is used for newer low flow
water conserving dishmachines. Rinse flow rate 2-3gpm. For service iss

c. PT-200RC- recirculation design, where the booster heater is located far from the
dishmachine. An additional pump and storage tank are fitted to the water lines to
the dishmachine, external to the booster heater.
3. Aside from the model number, you can verify which model you have by looking at the
model number label located on the front panel of the booster heater.
IMPORTANT! Verify which software version you have before completing any service!
You can verify this by looking at the software version label on the green electronic board
inside the electronic drawer. When using this service manual, ensure you are using the
correct software version.

Design and Sequence of Operation
The PT-200 tankless gas booster heater is designed as an on-demand water heater that
ignites the burner when the ware washer rinse solenoid opens and water flows through
the booster.
The PT-200FT is designed to be installed close to the dish machine. The National
Sanitation Foundation stipulates that if a booster heater that is located further than five
feet from the dishmachine, then it requires a recirculation system be fitted. This system
recirculates the water between the outlet of the booster and the inlet to the dishmachine
to prevent temperature loss below the required 180°F. For further information, see the
page titled “PT-200RC (Recirculation) Design and Sequence of Operation”.
The sequence of operation is as follows:
• Power is on, the power switch glows, and green LED on the control board flashes. The
digital temperature readout is not displaying.
• The rinse solenoid of the warewasher opens and water flows through booster heater.
Note: The next steps take place in 3-5 seconds.
• The flow meter senses the water flow & sends a flow signal to the green control board.
• The green control board sends 12v
switch and on to the black solid-state relay that powers the power vent blower.
• The relay closes the 110v AC contacts to start the blower.
• Fluing is proofed by the clear vacuum tube that runs from the blower to the pressure
differential switch.
• The pressure differential switch contacts close, sending 12v DC to the spark ignition
module via the grey wire.
• The ignition module simultaneously affects a spark through the heavy yellow wire to the
spark ignition probe over the burner and sends 12v DC to the combination gas valve via
the blue wire. Ignition attempts lasts up to 5.5 seconds. The digital temperature read-out
displays the outlet temperature.
• Ignition of the burner’s center element is effected and the flame is proofed and monitored
through the same yellow wire by the spark ignition module.
• The green control board sends DC voltage to the modulating gas valve for one second to
effect flame cross-over to all burners.
• The micro-processor on the green control board monitors water flow with the flow meter
and temperature with the three thermisters twice per second and varies voltage 0 – 22v
DC to the gas modulating valve, varying gas flow to burner in order to maintain constant
temperature output.
• Burner remains lit as long as the rinse solenoid is open, but if flame is extinguished for
any reason, the gas valve will shut off in less than 1 second. Re-ignition will be
attempted.
• When warewasher rinse solenoid closes and booster heater no longer senses flow, the
booster heater reverts to standby mode and digital temperature readout turns off.

Design and Sequence of Operation
The PT-200RC gas booster heater is designed for use when a PT-200FT (Flow through)
cannot be used. It is for use when the booster must be remotely located from the
dishmachine. The National Sanitation Foundation requires any booster that is not
located within 5 feet of the dishmachine must have a recirculation system installed. The
PT-200RC system includes the booster heater, circulation pump, expansion tank, and
holding tank.
The PT-200RC is an on-demand water heater. During operation, any time the T-mid
thermister senses the water temperature drop below the factory set temperature, the
burner ignites and heats the dish machine rinse water. This water is circulated by the
pump through a recirculation line from the outlet of the booster, to the recirculation tank
mounted near the dishmachine, then back to the booster. This provides constant hot
The sequence of operation is as follows:
• Power is on and the power switch glows and green LED flashes. The pump is circulating
water from the booster to the tank and on to the dish machine and back to the booster.
Note: The next steps take place in 3-5 seconds.
• The T-mid thermister on the booster sense low water temperature and sends a flow
signal to the control board.
• The green control board sends 12v
switch and on to the black solid-state relay that powers the power vent blower.
• The relay closes the 110v AC contacts to start the blower.
• Fluing is proofed by the clear vacuum tube that runs from the blower to the pressure
differential switch.
• The pressure differential switch contacts close, sending 12v DC to the black spark
ignition module via the grey wire.
• The ignition module simultaneously effects a spark through the high limit switch through
the heavy yellow wire to the spark ignition probe over the burner and sends 12v
combination gas valve via the blue wire. Two ignition attempts last up to a maximum of
5.5 seconds. The digital temperature read-out displays (if installed, otherwise, check
temperature on spring gauges).
• Ignition of the burner’s center element is effected and the flame is proofed and monitored
through the same yellow wire by the spark ignition module.
• The micro-processor on the control board monitors water temperature with the T-mid
thermisters twice per second and varies voltage 0 – 22v DC to the gas modulating valve,
varying gas flow to burner in order to maintain constant temperature output.
• Burner will modulate down as tank temperature approaches set temperature.

The PT-56 is an unvented gas booster heater designed to supply 180° final rinse water
to a single rack door warewasher. The sequence of operation is as follows:
• Power is on, the power switch glows and the green LED flashes. The
re-circulating pump draws cooler water from the bottom of the stainless tank
and pumps it through the copper heat exchanger.
• The water from the copper heat exchanger returns to the stainless tank via the
tee fitting in the top of the stainless tank.
Note: The next 5 steps take place in 3-5 seconds.
• If the T-mid thermistor
sends a signal to the green control board.
• The green control board, which is powered by the 12 VDC converter, sends
12 VDC through the black wire to the spark ignition module.
• The Ignition module simultaneously effects a spark through the heavy yellow
wire to the spark ignition probe over the burner and sends 12 VDC to the
combination gas valve via the blue and white wire. (Up to three ignition
attempts lasting up to 5.5 seconds max each).
• Ignition of the burner’s center element is effected and the flame is proofed and
monitored through the same yellow wire to the ignition module.
• The green control board sends 12 VDC via the back & white wire to the
modulating gas valve for one second to effect flame cross-over.
• The micro-processor on the green control board monitors water temperature
with the T-midthermistor twice / second and varies voltage 0 –12 VDC to the
gas modulating valve in order to maintain constant temperature output.
• As the water in the stainless tank approaches set temperature, the gas flow is
cut back by the modulating gas valve by reducing the DC voltage to the valve
down to 0 volts. This is by-pass (low) gas flow.
•Burner remains lit until set temperature of the circulating water is reached. This

• When the rinse solenoid of the warewasher opens, rinse water flows from the tee
fitting in the top of the stainless tank through the fitting on the bottom of the
heater to the warewasher. Cooler make-up water enters through the bottom tank
fitting.
• Burner will cycle on and off as the warewasher draws hot rinse water from the
stainless tank.

from the gas solenoid using pipe wrench.
4. IMPORTANT! USE AGA-APPROVED SEALANT ON ALL GAS THREAD
CONNECTIONS BEING VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW ANY TO
PENETRATE THE MODULATING VALVE CAVITY. IF THIS IS NOT STRICTLY
FOLLOWED IT WILL CAUSE THE MODULATING VALVE TO BECOME STICKY
AND MALFUNCTION AND HEATER WILL NOT CORRECTLY OPERATE.
5. Re-assemble the heater reversing the procedure. Ensure that the gas is
flowing in the direction of the arrow on the collar of the valve.
6. Reconnect wire connector and retighten union.
7. Turn on gas supply. Check for gas leaks.
8. Power up unit.
9. An Auto Calibration (see SB-7) procedure must be completed. Be sure to use the
Auto Calibration procedure specific to your type of unit (Recirculating or Flow
Through) and software version. Strictly follow the instructions. Failure of this
process will cause system malfunction.
10. After completing Auto Calibration procedure, lock the dish machine into rinse
mode and check for normal operation.
Process:
NOTE: The temperature on the booster heater has been factory set to
approximately 192°F. It is not recommended that you change this setting. Doing
so could result in water temperature too low to sanitize dishware or high enough
to bake food matter onto dishes, or cause booster heater to overheat water and
shut down. If it is necessary to change the setting it can be done as follows:
1. Open access door of heater. Open the electronic drawer. The adjustment
screw is located on a small blue block at the lower right corner of the
electronics board (see reference illustration #200-14).
2. Use a voltmeter and insert the black lead in black test point and the red
lead in blue test point (see reference illustration #200-14). A reading of
4.20 VDC from the voltmeter will set the temperature control at 192°F. A
small blade screwdriver should be used to adjust the temperature screw.
To decrease temperature, turn screw counterclockwise. To increase
temperature, turn screw clockwise. Each full turn will change the water
temperature approximately 7°F.
3. Check the water temperature on digital display of booster heater or at
temperature gauge on dish machine and adjust as necessary.
Tools required: 2 adjustable wrenches or slip joint pliers
Phillips screw driver
Process:
Check Operation
1. Lock the dish machine into the rinse mode.
2. Turn the power to the PT-200 on.
3. Check for a plumbing bypass (if there is, make sure it is closed to assure flow of
rinse water through the booster.)
4. Watch the flashing green LED on the green control board. Once you see a
pause, start counting the green flashes until the next pause. Verify the count
twice.
5. Divide the number of flashes between pauses by 3. This resulting number will be
the flow rate in gallons per minute. Example - 15 flashes between pauses
divided by 3 = 5 GPM.
6. If you do not see a pause in the green LED with the rinse running, the flow meter
is not sensing flow or no water is passing through booster or you have a
recirculating booster heater (See PT-200RC troubleshooting diagram).
Adjustment or Replacement
1. Be sure the pick-up wire on top of flow meter (2354) is tight.
2. Check flow meter connector to control board.
3. Replace flow meter by the following procedure:
a. Turn off water at shut off valve outside of booster.
b. Remove 4 Phillips screws from side access panel (digital display) &
let panel hang from side. Take care not to damage digital display
wiring.
c. Ensure that the water in the pipe is cool. Using 2 wrenches or slip
joint pliers loosen the union nuts on either side of the flow meter and
remove the flow meter and gaskets (2354 Flowmeter only).
d. Verifying flow direction, install new meter with 2 new gaskets (2354
Flowmeter only) and tighten union nuts (do not over tighten 3226
Flowmeter union nuts).
e. Replace access panel.

The precise temperature of the water in the heater can be determined by reading
thermistor DC voltages at the colored test points on the green control board (See
Electronic Control Board—Illustration #200-14) with a multi-meter and referring to
the "Thermistor Calibration" table.
The black multi-meter probe should go into the black test point and the red
probe should go into the following test points:
Orange/Red Test Point = Outlet temperature (T-Out)
Yellow Test Point = Mid temperature (T-Mid)
Inlet temperature (T-In) is read from inboard blue wire on connector #1329
(thermistor harness plug) of the green control board.
Power must be on for the booster to take the readings. Refer to the DC voltage
reading in the "volts" column on the "Thermistor Calibration" chart. The
corresponding temperature is the column to the left of the volt reading.
