SPECTRUM INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 23Avoid placing the thermostat in areas that will notprovide an accurate measurement of the roomtemperature. Locating the thermostat behind a door, inan alcove, close to a source of thermal radiation or in adrafty area will cause poor or sporadic heating.For a thermostat that employs an adjustable heatanticipator, adjust the anticipator to match the currentmeasured in the thermostat circuit. An increasedanticipator setting may be necessary if the unit cyclesfrequently. If the room temperature over-shoots thethermostat setting, reduce the anticipator setting.Operating ControlThe preferred control setting for potable hot water is130˚F, 54˚C. The operating control should be set to thelowest setting that will satisfy the consumer's needs.WARNING: Setting the thermostat or operatingcontrol too high can result in scalding resultingin severe personal injury!High Limit (Aquastat)The high limit is located in the top control area of theboiler/water heater. A remote capillary bulb is run to awell on the outlet side of the supply header.The water heater high limit should be set a minimum of20°F, 11°C higher than the operating control. Refer tothe HOT WATER SUPPLY section for the proper supplywater temperature.Flow SwitchA fl ow switch is provided in the water outlet piping toprevent the boiler/water heater from firing withoutadequate water fl ow through the heat exchanger.MAINTENANCEWARNING: Disconnect electrical power and closethe manual gas shut off valve before performingmaintenance or severe personal injury mayresult!WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment,alteration, service or maintenance can causeproperty damage, personal injury, exposure tohazardous materials or loss of life.
