FIGURE I3. Connect the RED wire from the jacketed cableonto the common terminal of the gas pressureswitch. (See Figure I)NOTE: If the distance between the <strong>power</strong><strong>vent</strong>er <strong>and</strong> the gas pressure switch isgreater than the length of the cable, splicea section of 2 conductor, PVC sheathed,105º C thermostat cable to the suppliedcable. Make sure that the colored leadsremain consistent.TROUBLE-SHOOTING, MAINTENANCEAND TEST PROCEDURESVent System MaintenanceThe <strong>vent</strong> system must be inspected at regular 3 monthintervals. Points of inspection are as follows:1. Screened opening of the <strong>vent</strong> hood should befree from <strong>for</strong>eign material <strong>and</strong> cleaned asnecessary.2. Check all <strong>vent</strong> system connections <strong>for</strong> leakage<strong>and</strong> reseal where needed. If any <strong>vent</strong>pipe shows signs of deterioration, replaceimmediately <strong>and</strong> check new connections <strong>for</strong>possible leaks. Reseal using General ElectricalRTV 106 Red HiTemp Silicone Sealer orequivalent.Gas Pressure Switch Test1. Follow the Aquastar <strong>operating</strong> <strong>instructions</strong>to light the pilot.2. Open a hot water outlet. This should energizethe <strong>power</strong> <strong>vent</strong> system. Next close the hotwater outlet to de-energize the <strong>vent</strong>er.3. Repeat step 2 to assure proper operation.4. If <strong>power</strong> <strong>vent</strong>er does not energize, check thatthe gas pressure switch tubes are properlyconnected <strong>and</strong> that the tube ends are notpinched closed.95. Make sure pressure switch is mounted in sucha way that the diaphragm is oriented vertically.Combustion Air Test1. Close all doors <strong>and</strong> windows of the building.If the Aquastar is installed in a utility room orcloset, close the entrance door to this room.Close fireplace dampers.2.

Allow all fans <strong>and</strong> the Aquastar to operate <strong>for</strong>five (5) minutes.5. Tripping of the spillage switch circuit duringthe 5 minute Aquastar operation indicates anunsafe <strong>operating</strong> condition. Turn off gassupply to Aquastar <strong>and</strong> DO NOT OPERATEUNTIL UNSAFE VENTING CONDITION ISINVESTIGATED BY PROFESSIONALCONTRACTOR OR UTILITY SERVICEPERSONNEL.6. Return all windows, doors <strong>and</strong> fans to theirprevious condition of use.
