Introduction

The Bradford White Ultra Low NOx Atmospheric Vent Water Heater is designed to deliver a

remarkable amount of hot water at up to 82% thermal efficiency in a quiet running unit with a top

exhaust vent connection that allows for installation in existing locations. While this unit is vented

atmospherically there is no damper required to maintain heat loss during off cycle. Several

technologically advanced design features are incorporated that will require additional knowledge on

the part of the qualified service provider. The information in this manual will instruct service and

maintenance professionals on the function, proper diagnosis and repair of The Bradford White Ultra

Low NOx Atmospheric Vent Water Heater.

The Bradford White Ultra Low NOx Atmospheric Vent Water Heater uses an ultra low NOx premix

power burner located at the top of the water heater to direct a turbulent flame down into the water

backed combustion chamber. This turbulence causes a thorough mixing of gas and air for optimum

combustion. The combustion gases then travel through a two pass flue system keeping the gases

moving at a high velocity. The combination of high turbulence and velocity results in an optimum

transfer of heat from the flue gases into the water.

Burner operation is controlled using an electronic ignition module. The module monitors the status of

the electronic thermostat, blocked vent limit switch, flame sensor to control output voltage to blower

motor, spark rod and gas valve. The module contains programming which determines the sequence

of operation and timings for purge periods, trial for ignition, flame sensing and lockout. The module

will also provide diagnostic information to help in determining the cause of system lockouts.

The contents in this manual are detailed informational tools to assist in the proper diagnosis of the

Ultra Low NOx Atmospheric Vent Water Heater operational faults. Please read this service manual

completely and record as much information regarding the Ultra Low NOx Atmospheric Vent Water

Heater operation and installation specifics related to any concerns.

How to Use This Manual

It is intended for this manual to be used by qualified service personnel for the primary purpose of

troubleshooting analysis and repair of the Bradford White UCG100H399. Understanding the

sequence of operation section of this manual will contribute greatly to troubleshooting this product.

An “Installation Check List” is shown towards the end of this manual. Compare the installation against

the installation check list to confirm all requirements are met.

A “Service Report” is shown towards the end of this manual. Completing this form will assist in the

troubleshooting efforts. Should you need to call for technical support, please provide the information

shown on this form to the support technician to help ensure accurate troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting begins with “System Observation” to determine failure mode as indicated by the

error code on the system display. Troubleshooting continues with “Failure Modes and Probable

Cause” directing the service provider to a series of test procedures to determine root cause of failure.

Component replacement procedures directly follow the test procedures for a given component.

In some difficult to diagnose conditions, it may be necessary to isolate the heater from the vent

system to determine root cause.

Contact Technical support immediately if diagnosis is not determined using the methods described in

this service manual.

Tools Required for Service

Manometer: Two types available, a liquid “U” tube type or a digital (magna-helic) type. This device is

used to measure gas and/or air pressures and vacuum.

Multi-Meter: A digital type is strongly recommended. This device is used to measure electrical

values. The meter you select must have the capability to measure volts AC, volts DC, Amps, micro-

amps and ohms.

Thermometer: Used to measure water temperature. An accurate thermometer is recommended.

Water Pressure Gage: Used to measure water supply pressure. Also used to determine tank

pressure by adapting to the drain valve of the heater.

Jumper Leads: A length of wire (12" min.) with alligator clip at both ends.

Various Hand Tools: Pipe wrench, channel locks, open end wrench set, 12" crescent wrench, Allen

wrench set, torx bit set, screw drivers (common & phillips), long reach (12") magnetic tip phillips head

screw driver #2 tip, ¼" nut driver, pliers (common & needle nose), socket set including a 1-1/16 deep

well socket, wire cutters, wire strippers, wire crimpers, torpedo level, small shop vac, step ladder, and

flashlight.

Features

Features of Honeywell Integrated Control System



xAttractive digital water heater display on control panel for setting and displaying the temperature

setpoint. Pressing temperature UP and DOWN buttons changes the temperature setpoint.

Temperature format may be displayed in °F or °C.

xSingle control board with plug in wiring controls temperature, ignition, and blower operation.

xReduced number of parts for servicing and wiring.

xPlug in wiring reduces chance of miswiring.

xBurner ignition with direct spark ignition - A high voltage spark jumps from the spark rod to the

WARNING! The UCG(80,100)H399 model is not approved for 2 inch diameter vent pipe. Venting with 2 inch pipe may

result in damage to the water heater or cause an unsafe condition. DO NOT use 2 inch Vent Air Intake Pipe!

Determining required intake vent length

1. Determine the total length of straight vent pipe (in feet) required for the intake.

2. Add 5 feet of venting for every 90° elbow.

3. Add 2 ½ feet of venting for every 45° elbow.

4. Total vent length cannot exceed “Max Intake Vent Length” on the venting table shown above.

Example of Total Intake Vent Length for UCG100H399 installation:

A 3” venting system has a total of two 90-degree elbows and a total straight pipe length of 10 feet.

Equivalent vent length for elbows: 2 x 5 feet = 10 feet.

Total equivalent vent distance = 10 feet + 10 feet = 20 feet total equivalent vent length. This is below

the maximum allowed distance of 25 feet for this model using 3” vent.

Sequence of Operation

1. Thermostat calls for heat.

2. Combustion blower starts.

3. Blower pre-purge period of 30 seconds.

4. Trial for Ignition. (5 seconds, 3 trials).

a. Flame establishing period (3 seconds), gas valve opens, sparks from spark rod to burner surface to ignite

the gas.

b. Burner on, flame proving period (2 seconds). Requires a minimum of 1.0 microamp through flame sense

rod to prove flame.

c. If the blocked vent safety switch contacts (normally closed) opens, then the ignition sequence will not

start and an error code 67 (Vent safety switch failed to close/open) will be shown on the display.

5. Steady State Operation: Burner continues to operate until:

a. Thermostat circuit opens, gas valve closes, blower continues to operate for 30 second post-purge period.

b. If the normally closed blocked vent safety switch opens, the gas valve closes, the blower continues to

operate indefinitely and error code 67 will be displayed after a couple minutes (up to 5 minutes) with

“Service Needed.”

6. Thermostat satisfied.

7. Gas valve closes, burner extinguished.

8. Blower post purge for 30 seconds.

Sequence of Operation

Lockout Conditions

The system will go into lock out mode for the following reasons:

1. ERROR CODE 110

a. Control board will go into “Soft Lockout” if the main burner cannot be lit or fails to prove flame after 3

ignition trials. The water heater display indicates a lockout condition by showing an error code number

110 with “Service Needed” in the control display window. Refer to error codes in the diagnostic section of

this Service Manual. In a “Soft Lockout” condition, the control will wait for 15 minutes and then make 3

more attempts to light the main burners. Soft lockout reset is accomplished by depressing the lower right

button under “Reset” for 3 seconds.

2. ERROR CODE 80

a. If the top of the tank should exceed 207°F, then the high limit control will shut off the burner and the water

heater will go into a “Hard Lockout.” Error code 80 will be shown in the water heater display. The control

can only be reset in the “Service Mode,” which is detailed in the “Troubleshooting” section of this Service

Manual.

3. ERROR CODE 67

a. If the vent safety switch located on the draft hood should open, the gas valve will close, the blower will

post-purge and error code 67 will appear on the display. The lockout condition will reset once the

problem is corrected and the switch reset. Refer to “Vent Safety Switch Testing and Replacement” in this

Service Manual.
