Tjernlund VP-2F, VP-3F (Old Style Honeywell Timer) 8504140 - Manual (Page 9)

ACTUATING AND SAFETY CONTROL CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS
1. If not previously completed, push both leads from the Linear Limit
spill switch onto Thermocouple Junction Adapter terminal, (See
Diagram C, Page 5). NOTE: On 750 Millivolt (power pile) heaters,
wire Linear Limit spill switch in series with high limit (ECO) of heater.
2. Push the Red lead from Power Venter 25’ control cable onto the
common on the Gas Pressure Switch, (See Diagram D)
3. Push the Blue lead from the Power Venter 25’ control cable onto
the normally open terminal on the Gas Pressure Switch, (See Diag. D).
4. Plug the power cord from the Power Venter into a grounded 115
VAC outlet. Verify that the outlet is powered through a 15 amp
circuit breaker.
NOTE: The Power Venter may operate for approximately 45 seconds when power is first
established. Wait until the Power Venter shuts off before continuing.
OPERATION CIRCUIT CHECK
1. Place water heater in operation.
A. The Power Venter should operate.
2. Turn gas pilot knob to “pilot”.
B. The Power Venter should continue to operate for approximately 45 seconds to purge the vent system of any residual flue gases.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 twice to assure operation.
SAFETY INTERLOCK TEST
IMPORTANT:
The Linear Limit spillage sensing switch must disable the heater in the event of a venting malfunction. The following procedure is nec-
essary to confirm that the heater is disabled in the event of a venting malfunction.
1. Unplug Power Venter from 115 VAC outlet to disable the Power Venter.
2. Adjust the heater’s thermostat or run hot water until full burner operation occurs. Venter should not run, but burner should fire.
3. Flue gas spillage will emit from the draft hood. Linear Limit spillage sensor should open in less than 3 minutes, extinguishing pilot
light and disabling water heater. If water heater is not disabled, remove call for heat, reposition Limit and repeat steps 1-3.
4. Wait 2-3 minutes for Linear Limit sensing element to cool and push the reset button on Linear Limit spillage sensing switch.
5. Plug Power Venter power cord back into 115 VAC outlet.
6. Re-light pilot following the heater manufacturer’s instructions. Adjust the heater’s thermostat or run hot water until full burner opera-
tion occurs. Power Venter should now be running while burner is firing. Turn thermostat down or hot water off so burner is no
longer firing. Power Venter should continue to run for approximately 45 seconds during the Relay/Timer post-purge cycle.
