AUTOMATIC GAS SHUTOFF CONTROL
The automatic gas shutoff control, g. 1, is an automatic safety 
device which activates at a water temperature of approximately 
195
0
F  (90.5°C).    This  limits  the  water  outlet  temperature  to  a 
maximum of 200
0
F (87.7°C).
The device is wired in series with the gas valve. The control 
will automatically reset when the water temperature cools to 
approximately 190
o
F (87.7°C).
Should the automatic gas shutoff control activate during a 
heating cycle, the heater’s gas valve will close; extinguishing the 
main burners. The pilot burner will also be extinguished. The 
circulating pump will continue operating as long as the storage 
tank thermostat continues to “call for heat”. When the water 
temperature in the heater drops to 180
0
F (82.2°C) or below the 
control module will begin an ignition cycle which will relight the 
pilot burner and main burners. Re-ignition of the main burners 
will occur if the storage tank thermostat continues to call for 
heat. Otherwise, the normal operating cycle will resume on the 
thermostat’s next call for heat.

PROTECTOR SWITCH 
(Coil High Limit)
This heater is equipped with a manually reset protector switch, 
Figure 2, located under the small cover on the side of the jacket.  
This device provides positive shutdown of the heater in the event 
of heater or system malfunction. Should the surface temperature 
of the copper tubing heat exchanger reach 250
0
F (121.1°C), the 
protector switch will activate. The gas valve will close, and the 
pilot and main burners will be extinguished. To resume heater 
operation, the protector switch must be manually reset (remove 
the protector switch cover and push the reset button) after the coil 
surface temperature cools to less than 200
0
F(93.3°C).
FIGURE 2
DO NOT RESET THIS SWITCH WITHOUT PERFORMING THE 
SYSTEM CHECKS OUTLINED UNDER PROTECTOR SWITCH 
IN THE SERVICE INFORMATION SECTION. ALSO, SEE CHART 
ONE UNDER THE CHECKOUT SECTION. IF NECESSARY, 
CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENT. Once the cause of the 
protector switch activation has been determined and corrected, 
it will be necessary to restart the heater following the LIGHTING 
AND OPERATING instructions.
THERMAL BALANCER
The thermal balancer (standard on Models HW-200M and  
HW-225M,  optional  on  Models  HW-120M  and  HW-160M)  is 
a delay relay used only on Cer-Temp 80 Recovery systems. 
It gives immediate pump start but delay of pump shutoff for 
approximately 2 minutes. Residual heat in the heat exchanger 
is then recovered after shutdown. This improves efficiency 
and balances heater temperature with tank temperature at 
shutdown.
INTERMITTENT IGNITION CONTROL MODULE
The Honeywell control module contain the electronic components 
of the system and also serve as a central wiring system for the 
controls mounted on the heater. The control module performs the 
following functions:
1.  Checks  for  safe-start  by  sensing  for  a  ame  or  false  ame 
condition on start-up.
2.  Generates a potential of 15,000 volts for spark ignition of the 
pilot burner.
3.  Turns on or off power to the pilot valve.
