The Tempstar GP heating system is designed to heat and maintain the wash tank water temperature at a minimum of 150 F
as well as providing a constant 180 F rinse water temperature. Incoming water is supplied at a pressure of 20psi and between 110-
140 F. Incoming gas pressure should be between 7.0-10.5 WCI for natural gas, or 11.0-14.0 WCI for units supplied with propane. The
sequence of operation is as follows (please refer to the above diagram):
When the power is turned on at the ON/OFF switch the water level control board will sense a low water level in the wash tank
and the unit will begin to fill. This occurs as the rinse solenoid valve opens, allowing connected water to fill the booster tank, heat
exchanger and the rest of recirculating system, once the booster tank is full, water will fill the wash tank until the water level control sys-
tem is satisfied. Simultaneously with the fill, the rinse recirculating pump and the gas burner assembly are energized, this will begin
heat up of the unit. A transformer in the main control box supplies +12vdc to the electronics control drawer located in the lower section
of the unit. The electronics control board (ECB) is the brain of the system. The ECB receives various inputs and determines the amount
of heating required.
When energized the ECB receives input from the T-mid thermistor indicating a low water temperature in the recirculating sys-
tem. The ECB will power the ignition relay on the board, which in turn provides +12vdc to the direct spark ignition board (DSI). The DSI
sends +12vdc to the combination gas cutoff valve to open it. This will supply gas to the burner assembly. The DSI begins sparking the
igniter probe, and monitors the flames presence. If the flame is not sensed during the ignition attempt, then the DSI will lockout until
the software resets the DSI approximately 60 seconds later.
