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 probes are monitored by the
control system. The Combustion blower, igniter, 24 VAC gas
Valve and anode rods are all powered 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.
See Features And Components on page 7 for location of these
and all water heater components.
