Pennant Pool Heater

If a call for heat is prevented from being satisfied

either by a safety interlock or due to an ignition

lockout, the red “Service” indicator on the front panel

will light. To reset the standard ignition module, toggle

the Pennant power switch off, and then on again. (To

reset the optional single try lockout ignition module,

the reset button on the module must be pressed.

Interrupting power to this module will not reset the

lockout.)

The Pennant 1250, 1500, 1750 and 2000 models

have two ignition modules that control different

burners.

6.2 Filling the Heater System

1. Ensure the system is fully connected, filled with

water and all valves are open.

2. Start up heater according to the procedure in this

manual. Operate the entire system for one (1)

hour.

3. After placing the unit in operation, the ignition

system safety shutoff device must be tested. First,

shut off the manual gas valve, and call the unit

for heat. After the pre-purge and ignitor heat-up

time, the main gas terminals will be energized,

attempting to light, for four (4) seconds, and

then will de-energize. The unit will go into

lockout mode. Second, turn the power off and

then on again, push the reset button (optional

Ignition Module only), open the manual gas

valve and allow the unit to light. While the unit is

operating, close the manual gas valve and ensure

that power to the main gas valve no longer exists.

4. Check the entire system for leaks.

Caution

Protect the heater from low pH water if an “acid

start up” or similar technique is used. Corrosion of

the heater and heat exchanger due to low pH water

is not covered under the limited warranty. The water

must be neutralized to normal pH levels before

filling the heater and starting up the system.

Important: The installer is responsible for identifying

to the owner/operator the location of all emergency

shutoff devices.

WARNING

Do not use this appliance if any part has been

under water. Immediately call a qualified service

technician to inspect the appliance and to replace

any part of the control system and any gas control

that may have been under water.

6.3 Operating the Burner and Set Up

6.3.1 Set Up for 0 to 2500 Feet Altitude

The setup must be checked before the unit is put

in operation. Problems such as failure to start, rough

ignition, strong exhaust odors, etc. can be due to

improper setup. Damage to the heater resulting from

improper setup is not covered by the limited warranty.

1. Using this manual, make sure the installation

is complete and fully in compliance with the

instructions.

2. Determine that the appliance and system are

filled with water and all air has been bled from

both. Open all valves.

3. Observe all warnings on the Operating

Instructions label and turn on gas and electrical

power to appliance.

4. Switch on the appliance power switch located on

the right side of the unit.

5. The Pennant will enter the start sequence, as long

as the unit is being called for heat. The blower

and pump come on for pre-purge, then the ignitor

warm-up sequence starts and after the ignitor

warm-up is complete and all safety devices are

verified, the gas valves open. If ignition doesn’t

occur, check that there is proper gas supply.

Wait 5 minutes and start the unit again. During

initial start up, air in the gas line may cause the

Pennant to "lock out" during the first few trials

for ignition. Depending on the ignition modules

installed, the manual reset button on the ignition

module(s) may need to be depressed to restart the

heater.

6. When the unit is running, the supply gas pressure

must be checked. Inlet gas pressure must not

exceed 13" W.C. (3.2kPa). The minimum inlet

gas pressure is 5" W.C. (1.2kPa).

7. Once the inlet gas pressure is verified, the

outlet gas pressure from each valve (manifold

gas pressure) must be checked, and adjusted, if

necessary. The manifold gas pressure must be

2.5" W.C. (0.62kPa).

8. Complete the setup by checking the CO

at the

outlet of the unit. The CO

should be 8% for

natural gas, or 9.2% for propane.

9. After placing the appliance in operation, the

Burner Safety Shutoff Device must be tested.

To test:

(a) Close gas shutoff valve with burner

operating.

(b) The flame will go out and blower will

continue to run for the post purge cycle.

Three (3) additional attempts to light will

follow (only one (1) attempt for optional

module). Ignition will not occur as the gas

is off. The ignition control will lockout, and

will have to be reset before the unit will

operate. The ignition control reset button

is located on each ignition control, in the

lower right corner, and can be reset by

depressing. It is not marked on the ignition

control label.

appliance. The ignition sequence will

start again and the burner will start. The
