9.2 1018 Series Hot Surface Ignition
Status Indicator Error Conditions
The status indicator LED will not be lit with power applied to the board and the control operating
properly. However, if the control is not operating properly, the status indicator LED will flash in
one of the following error codes.
1. Status Indicator Flashing One Time
When the status indicator LED shows the error code of a single repeated flash, the control is
in lock-out, because the sail switch was stuck closed.
2. Status Indicator Flashing Two Times
When the status indicator LED shows the repeating error code of two flashes, the control is in
lock-out because the control circuits did not receive the “closed” signal from the high limit
switch and the sail switch within the required amount of time.
3. Status Indicator Flashing Three Times
When the status indicator LED shows the repeating error code of three flashes, the control is
in lock-out due to either a failed ignition attempt, a gas valve error, or a false flame sensed
during the pre-purge of warm-up periods. If false flame has been sensed, the control will
return to normal operation, and begin a new ignition sequence when the false flame is no
longer present.
4. Status Indicator Flashing Four Times
When the status indicator LED shows the repeating error code of four flashes, the control has
gone into lock-out due to a failure within the control board.
9.3 Checking Manifold Pressure
To be performed by a certified gas technician only!
1. Unplug heater from power source and turn ball valve to OFF position.
2. Remove outlet pressure tap plug from gas control valve and connect pressure gauge.
3. Return electrical power to heater and plug to power source and turn ball valve to ON
position.
4. To obtain an accurate manifold pressure reading, heater must be cycled on and off
several times to stabilize the pressure regulator diaphragm.
5. Return the heater to operation and read pressure gauge.
6. If necessary, adjust pressure regulator on gas control valve to the acceptable manifold
pressure found on rating plate and page 4 of owner’s manual.
7. Remove pressure regulator adjustment screw.
8. Using a screwdriver, turn inner adjustment screw clockwise to increase or counter
clockwise to decrease manifold pressure to burner.
9. Always replace cap screw and tighten firmly to prevent gas leakage.
10. Unplug heater from power source and turn ball valve to OFF position.
11. Remove pressure gauge and replace outlet pressure tap plug.
12. Return heater to operation and observe through at least one complete cycle to ensure all
controls are operating properly.

10. Pipe Sizing Guidelines
10.1 Calculating HVR & ELOP
1. Using a system schematic, label each piping
section of the system starting at the meter or
regulator. A different pipe section starts
where the gas demand of the system
changes, usually at a junction.
2. Determine the Heating Value Required
(HVR) in BTUH (BTU's per hour) for each
section of pipe.
HVR = (no. heaters supplied by pipe
section) X (heat output per heater)
3. Determine the Equivalent Length Of Pipe (ELOP)
required for sufficient gas service.
ELOP = (length from meter to most remote heater)
+ (Minor loss equivalents of the system)
IMPORTANT: Use the ELOP value from this
equation for size determination of all pipe sections.
4. Use the ELOP value from step 3, and the HVR of
each pipe section to determine the required pipe size
for either natural gas (NG) (Table 1) or liquid propane
(LP) (Table 2) from the table 'Maximum Capacity Of
Pipe'.
10.2 Directions for Reading Pipe Size from Tables:
EXAMPLE: Four 40,000 BTUH (12 kW) heaters will be installed on the gas pipe line in the 'Arbitrary Piping System'
diagram below. NOTE: Values given in English and Metric equivalent units.
1. Determine the HVR value for each pipe section of the system.
Pipe Section No. Of Heaters HVR Calculation HVR Value
BTUH kW BTUH kW
a-b 4 4 x 40,000 4 x 12 160,000 48
b-c 2 2 x 40,000 2 x 12 80,000 24
c-e 1 1 x 40,000 1 x 12 40,000 12
b-d 1 1 x 40,000 1 x 12 40,000 12
b-f 1 1 x 40,000 1 x 12 40,000 12
c-g 1 1 x 40,000 1 x 12 40,000 12
2. Determine the ELOP. Length from meter to most remote heater = length from a to e (or g) = 100ft (30m) + 25ft
(8 m) = 125ft (38 m) Minor loss equivalents from Table 1 = 1 gate valve x 2ft/valve (1 m/valve) + 3 tees x 11
ft/tee (4 m/tee) =35ft (13 m). Calculated ELOP = 125ft (38 m) + 35ft (13 m) = 160 ft (51 m) Tabulated ELOP =
200ft (60 m) Round up to the nearest table value.
3. In the appropriate table, NG (Table 2) or LP (Table 3), select the column showing the ELOP or the next longer
length, if the table does not give the exact length. Use this column to compare table values to the HVR values.
Use the Natural Gas table (Table 2) in this example. From step 2,
ELOP = 200ft (60 m) Locate the column labeled 200ft
(60 m) in Table 2.
4. Select a pipe section and read down the ELOP column to
find the maximum gas capacity that matches the HVR for
that particular pipe section. If the exact value is not
listed, choose the next larger value in the column. In this
example, start with pipe section c-e. For pipe section c-
e, HVR = 40,000 BTUH (12 kW). From Table 2, column
200 ft, 40 (12) is not listed (NOTE: The table values are
in thousands of BTUH's). The next larger value of 72
(21) is read from the table, corresponding to 72,000
BTUH (21 kW).
5. Follow the row leftward until you reach the columns
labeled 'Internal Diameter' and 'Nominal pipe size'. Read
the pipe size for the particular pipe section. For
example, for pipe section c-e, the pipe size is ¾ inch
(0.824 in.) (19.1 mm). Repeat for each pipe section.
