remote controller and the unit will not operate.
After installing the new circuit board, please transfer data according to the following procedure:
1. With the electrical power disconnected, connect the new and old
circuit boards by inserting the supplied data transfer wire into
connection number CN75 (see Note 1) of each circuit board. If a temperature
selection wire is inserted into CN75 on the old circuit board, remove this
connector and save it for the new circuit board.
The unit will signal a successful transfer by rotating the fan and opening and closing
the gas solenoid valve (3 minutes).
cable connecting the new and old circuit boards.
4. If a temperature selection wire was removed from the old circuit board, reinsert it into CN75
on the new circuit board.
* Be sure to read.
It is necessary to transfer data when replacing a circuit board. Vital
information about the water heater such as the settings and unit history
will have to be written to the new board. Please transfer data using the
following procedure. If the transfer is not successful, the unit will not

Note 1. The data transfer wire is marked "89", but please connect it to connection number CN75.
2. If this is the second time that the circuit board has been replaced:
* If data has already been transferred to the board, follow the resetting procedure.
* Once data has been transferred to a new board, the transfer procedure cannot
be performed again.
