Raypak pool heaters manual

Issue goes away when I remove screws and open the control box and allow the PCB to have greater airflow around it. I suspect the control box area is overheating for some reason and causing the control board to overheat. Any known conditions that cause this? Time for a new control board? Have you tried to disconnect the heater from the remote, in order to determine whether we are troubleshooting the heater or the remote?

How is the remote wired into the PC Board of the heater? Raypac Rudd model P-DA-EP-C, installed new in May , so just over a year old, has worked well but now, out of the blue, no display what so ever on the display screen. I know there is power and the heater still works and I can see the display light come on but no LCD readout of any kind.

Not located in the sun. Thanks for any help. Moisture could have possibly breached the control box and compromised the display. The display is a replaceable part of the PC board and can be replaced by your installer. Part F. Is the pilot lighting? If so, then the proving signal is not getting back to the PC Board. Confirm that all gas valve wiring is intact, and connections are solid.

Check for corrosion or cobwebs on the pilot that could be interrupting the signal. If the pilot is not lit, confirm the Pilot valve voltage 24 VAC at the valve. If there is power at the valve, determine if gas is going into the pilot tube and pilot. If no gas coming from the energized pilot valve, replace the valve.

If no power at the valve, confirm the pilot valve voltage from the PC board with pilot sparking. If no power, replace the board. The problem lies where the power dies. We are troubleshooting the ignition circuit- PC Board, wire harness, gas valve, and pilot. I have a propane Raypak pool heater which cycles off high limit 2 I have switched High limit 1 and 2 Sensors with no success Replaced Unitherm Governor with no success Where do I go from here? Confirm adequate water flow to the heater.

Does the disc, on the internal bypass, glide freely on the shaft? If not, replace bypass F. Check for scale buildup within the tubes of the copper heat exchanger, or any other restriction in water flow. Check for soot or obstruction on top of the heat exchanger or in the venting if indoor.

If this code appears and stays on, turn off power to board at toggle switch and source, then re-establish power. If code reappears, replace board as the main processor failed to start. EEP Indicates that memory failed to start on main processor. Turn off power at toggle switch and source, then re-establish power. If code reappears, replace board as memory has failed. FAN Indicates the Pilot was lost, or the air pressure switch is not closed when required.

Check for correct incoming power at fan relay- V or V and at fan motor. If pilot is confirmed, check for 24V minimum out of fan relay to pressure switch. If switch does not make when fan is operating, verify the tuning between fan housing and switch is connected and is not kinked. Soft lock out after 3 attempts- automatically resets after 5 minutes. FFL Indicates a false flame signal. Check to see if pilot is staying lit after CFH is satisfied.

If pilot stays lit, the pilot valve in the gas valve is hanging open. Replace gas valve. If gas valve is working properly, problem lies with the pilot system or board. Turn power off at toggle switch. Unplug ignition wire from board and pilot and remove green ground wire from burning tray. Clean and reconnect ground wire. Turn power on. If no spark at ignition module, turn power off and replace the PC board. If you saw a spark at Ignition Module, turn off the power and reconnect wires.

Turn power on and unit should fire. Power ON and watch for spark at module. It needs to be up all the way to heat our gallon wood hot tub. The hot tub has to heat to degrees, so I am not sure if it would work for your temp. What is the minimum size gas line required for this heater? John S on Jul 6, My new heater, like yours, was just hooked into the existing piping which looks to me to be regular size gas line. Robert: Your answer is inconsistent with the information in the Installation and Operation manual for the heater.

Reply 1 Steven G on Feb 4, Steven -- Your response sounds very definitive and I may be wrong. I wonder if you may be referring to a different model or different manual. Robert: Thanks for your note. My comment was for the Model A. And you are correct about the specifications listed in the manual. Here is the skinny on my comment. However, what often happens is that the hard pipe is brought up to the heater and a valve is installed, and then a flex line is used to make the connection into the heater from the valve.

Makes it easy to make the final connection and to disconnect the heater from the gas supply, when necessary. Perhaps I was not specific enough in my earlier post. My intent was to say that it is imperative that any flex line be appropriately sized to meet the capacity of the heater. Steven, Wow! Thanks for that thorough and fully explained clarification. I now need to check mine to see what the flex line size is. I may be starving the thing, although it seems to be able to heat things up quite nicely.

Again, much appreciated! A shopper on Jun 14, When I ordered mine, I was told the shipping cost. Seanp on Jul 17, From the terminal, run single pair control wire to a switch. Let's assumed the single pair is red and black. Connect the red wire to the 24v output terminal on one end, and connect the other end to one side of a switch. Connect the black wire to the other side of the switch, and run it back to the wire you originally removed from the terminal.

You now have a remote switch, and it's all low voltage. I'm trying to run the heater off a Balboa controller that determines when the heater fires. Reply Seanp on Jul 18, A shopper on May 18, Will this heater ignite if the filter isn't running? Jim M on May 21, Does this heater require power? I see it says millivolt but the instructions say cord. A shopper on May 7, Can I add a remote thermostat? Ken L on May 4, How long does it take to heat up a 18x 33 above ground oval pool? And will it work with this pool?

Kim V on Dec 29, Assuming the volume is 15, gallons that works out to about , lbs. Where is the drain plug on the unit.? Vickie R on Oct 19, Maynard on Feb 13, Can NOT be installed inside. Outdoor only as it vents out of the top of the unit. Pump connections are on the back. Reply mikeb on Feb 2, Mark G does not know what he is talking about. Dimensions are 12 inches wide x The ports for plumbing water into and out of the heater are on the rear vertical face of the unit.

It gives you the manual, which provides dimensions and illustrations. The space needs a vent to the outside so that fresh air can be supplied for combustion and to provide air that will allow the combustion products to draft up the B-vent pipe that you would install on the top of the heater and then into your chimney.

You MUST have that ambient air source!!! Follow local code requirements! Talk to your building department official to get the details right. I have installed four or five of these units in the last four years. I do know of what I speak. Steve G. Reply Steven G on Feb 4, My pool is 9x18x52 and holds 14, gallons.

Could you recommend a heater so that I can keep my pool up all winter? Water fitness is life! A shopper on Aug 26, What are the dimensions? A shopper on Jun 28, Questions For Similar Products. Review More Purchases My Posts. Rated 3 out of 5. I purchased this heater spring of and it worked great for the season.

Yea I see online now they offer a kit.. Thank you for the reply! Jason Reply Jason K on May 24, How is natural gas. Is this heater good for a 27 ft. Round pool? A shopper on May 15, I would purchase a larger heater for a 27' round pool. I use it for a 28 x 8 rectangular pool and it works beautifully. Can you connect to a lb tank?

A shopper on Jan 5, No has to be gallon propane. A shopper on Mar 14, It does heat up the pool but takes a little while. I had replaced a larger heater for this one. If you do not mind waiting for it to heat up and do not need it super warm, " my wife likes the pool above 80 degrees".

This would work twice as fast as your previous heater. Would be an excellent fit. A shopper on Aug 18, This heater is for Propane gas. The system is outfitted with an auto pilot lighter.

I have never looked for the pilot light. When you turn the system on there is an audible electric clicking sound which is the auto ignition trying to light the pilot. When pilot lights that electric clicking sound stops. You will hear the heater start-up. Hope this helps.

This has no pilot. Just like cook top it makes a spark to ignite. Would this work to heat a gallon stock tank hot tub? Using standard 20lb propane tanks? And no electricity?
