INSTALLATION QUICK TIPS – SUF 120 and 150 GAS PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: GAS PRESSURE SUF120 AND 150 MODELS
a. Attach a pressure gauge (manometer) to the manifold pressure tap and refer to page 4 for correct pressure.
Main line gas pressure to the water heater for natural
gas should be between a maximum of 10.5"W.C.
(2.59kPa) for natural gas, 14.0"W.C.(3.45kPa) for
propane and a minimum of 4.8W.C.(1.18kPa) for
Natural Gas, and 8.5"W.C. (2.08kPa) for Propane Gas.
A supply gas pressure regulator (service regulator) must be installed on the gas supply line within 10' (305 cm) of the unit.
Also see gas pressure specification table on page 4.
1.Check gas line pressure with a manometer.
2.Check manifold pressure gauge (manometer) connected to the manifold pressure tap on the gas control valve, If full rate adjustment is required, remove cover screw from top of the gas control valve. Using a small screwdriver, turn adjusting screw clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease gas pressure to obtain 4.0" W.C.(1 K pa) for natural gas and 10.0" W.C. (2.5 kPa) for L.P. Gas.
3. Cycle the burner on and off several times to check its operation.
4. Check the operation of the limit and operating controls.
5. Check the vent system seams and joints and ensure that there is no discharge of flue products into the room.
6. Check the input rate.
HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS SUF 120 - 150
For appliance installation locations with elevations
above 6,500 feet (1982 meters) consult the “High
Altitude Installation” section of the owners manual.
b. Use this formula to “clock” the meter. Be sure
other gas consuming appliances are not operating during this interval.
Btuh = 3600 X H/ T
T = Time in seconds to burn 1 cubic foot of gas. (With a stopwatch read the gas meter and measure the amount of time required for the heater to consume 1 cubic foot of gas.) H = Heating value of gas (in Btu’s per cubic foot of gas). Btuh = Actual heater input rate, in Btuh. EXAMPLE: (Using SUF-150 heater) T = 25.25 seconds H = 1050 Btu/ft.3 BTUH = ?
Compare result to the de-rated input required for the elevation at the installat ion location.
Should it be necessary to adjust the gas pressure to the burner, to obtain the full input rate, the steps below should be followed: c. Remove the pressure regulator cover screw and adjust the pressure by turning the adjusting screw with a small screwdriver. Do not exceed 4.0" (1 kPa) natural gas models and 10.0" w.c. (2.5kPa) on the propane models. Clockwise to increase gas pressure and input rate. Counterclockwise to decrease gas pressure and input rate. d. “Clock” the meter as in step (b) above. e. Repeat steps (c) and (d) until the specified input rate is achieved. f. Turn the manual gas valve to “OFF”. Replace the pressure regulator cover screw. Remove the pressure gauge or manometer from the manifold pressure tap. Replace the set screw in the manifold pressure tap. If the gas pressure regulator cannot be adjusted to give the full input rating with sufficient gas pressure at the valve, check to ensure the unit is equipped with the correct orifice.

INSTALLATION QUICK T IPS - SUF 199 AND 250 GAS PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: GAS PRESSURE SUF 199 AND 250 MODELS
IMPORTANT NOTE
THE SUF 199 AND 250 MODELS INCORPORATE A NEW GAS CONTROL, WHICH OPERATES AT A MANIFOLD PRESSURE OF 0" W.C. (0 kPa) FOR BOTH NATURAL AND PROPANE GAS. SEE T HE GAS PRESSURE CHART ON PAGE 4. THESE MODELS ARE CONFIGURED PRIOR TO BEING SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY AND NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE NECESSARY PRIOR TO STARTUP. THE CONTROLLER MONITORS T HE AIR FLOW AND MAKES ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FAN SPEED WHICH IN EFFECT CONTROLS THE AMOUNT OF GAS FLOW. THEREFORE, THE UNIT WILL SELF ADJUST TO ACQUIRE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF INPUT.
"Supply gas pressure to the water heater must not exceed a maximum of 10.5" w.c. (295kPa) for natural gas, or 14" w.c. (3.45 kPa) for propane. The minimum supply gas pressure is 4.8" w.c. (1.20 kPa) for natural gas and 8.5" w.c. (2.12 kPa) for propane gas."
HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
The SUF 199 and 250 models are suitable for installation up to 10,100 feet above sea level with no adjustments.
GAS ORIFICE
The SUF 199 and 250 models do not have a natural gas orifice. A .230” orifice is used on LP gas models.

INSTALLATION Q UICK TIPS - SUF 300, 400 GAS PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE: GAS PRESSURE SUF 300,400,
A minimum dynamic gas suppl y pressure of
5.2" w.c. (1.29 kPa) for Natural Gas and 11" w.c. (2.74 kP a) for LP Gas is requir ed befo re making any adjustment to th e gas control pressure regulator. Attempts to adjust the
regulator during periods of low gas supply pressure could result in over firing of the water heater when the gas supply pressure returns to normal.
1. Check gas line pressure with a manometer, adjust the gas supply line pressure Gas Pressure table on page 4.
2. Check manifold pressure using a pressure gauge (manometer) connected to the manifold pressure tap on the gas control valve, If full rate adjustment is required, remove cover screw from top of the gas control valve. Using a small screwdriver, turn adjusting screw clockwise to increase or counter clockwise to decrease gas pressure to obtain 4.0" w.c. (0.996 kPa) for Natural Gas and 10" w.c. (2.49kPa) for LP gas.
3. Cycle the burner on and off several times to check its operation.
4. Check the operation of the limit and operating controls.
5. Check the vent system seams and joints and ensure that there is no discharge of flue products into the room.
6. Check the input rate as shown on page 5.

CONTROL SEQUENCE (TYPICAL ALL MODELS)
TYPICAL SEQUENCE
1. When the control is powered it should display “waiting for connection” and “UIM v2.06”*. The manufacturer and unit model will be next. The next display will include water temperature, temperature setting and heater status. * This number may change as software revisions are made.
2. The control performed selected system diagnostic checks immediately upon power up. This includes confirming the proper state of the air/gas switches and ECO limit device and powered anodes.
3. If the control determines that the actual water temperature inside the tank is below the programmed temperature set-point less the differential, a call for heat is activated.
4. If all checks are successfully passed, the combustion blower is energized for the pre-purge cycle.
5. When the pre-purge cycle is complete, power is applied to the igniter element for the igniter warm-up period.
10. The combustion blower will run for the duration of the post purge cycle to purge the system of all combustion gases. When the post purge cycle is complete, the blower is de-energized and will coast to a stop.
11. The control will now enter the idle state while continuing to monitor the internal tank water temperature and the state of other system devices. If the temperature drops below the set-point value less differential, the control will automatically return to step 2 and repeat the entire operating cycle.
6. At the conclusion of the igniter warm-up period, the gas valve will open, allowing gas to enter the burner chamber.
7. The igniter will remain on for a short predetermined time period, then will be turned off.
8. The control will monitor the flame sense probe to confirm a flame is present. If a flame is not verified within predetermined time period, the gas valve will immediately be closed, and the blower will continue to run for approximately 30 seconds inter-purge. The control will try for ignition two more times before

lockout.
9. If a flame is confirmed, the control will enter the heating mode where it will continue heating the tank water until the set point temperature plus differential is reached. At this point, the gas valve is closed and the control enters the post-purge cycle.

THE SUF 199 AND 250 MODELS INCORPORATE A NEW GAS CONTROL, WHICH OPERATES AT A MANIFOLD PRESSURE OF 0"W.C. (0 kPa) FOR BOTH NATURAL AND PROPANE GAS. SEE THE GAS PRESSURE CHART ON PAGE 4. THESE MODELS ARE CONFIGURED PRIOR TO BEING SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY AND NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE NECESSARY PRIOR TO STARTUP. THE CONTROLLER MONITORS THE AIR FLOW AND MAKES ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FAN SPEED WHICH IN EFFECT CONTROLS THE AMOUNT OF GAS FLOW. THEREF ORE, THE UNIT WILL SELF ADJUST TO ACQUIRE T HE CORRECT AMOUNT OF INPUT.
Supply gas pressure to the water heater for natural gas should be between a maximum of 10.5" (2.59kPa for natural gas) W.C. (14.0"/3.45kPa for propane) and a minimum as shown on page 4: that is, for Natural Gas 4" (.98kPa) W.C. And 9.0" (1.97kPa) for Propane Gas. The inlet gas pressure must not exceed the maximum value.
Once the unit is installed and filled with water and the in let p ressures c onfirmed, s imply turn the switch "on" and observe operation. Cycle the unit "off" and "on" several times to ensure proper operation.

The Ultra Force SUF 400 model has a variable frequency drive (VFD) that controls the
rpm of the blower motor. The VFD receives a signal from the central control board that instructs the VFD to transmit the proper frequency to the blower to produce the proper blower speed and proper input.
Three conditions must be met for the frequency drive to start the blower:
1. 120VAC must be supplied to the VFD 120VAC input.
2. The ignition control board closes an enable circuit – terminals LI1 and +15V
3. The ignition control board sends a 1-10VDC instruction – terminals 0V and AI1. See table
