WV8840A Water Heater Controls
APPLICATION
The WV8840A Water Heater Control is designed for use
in Standing Pilot applications using an immersion well for
water temperature sensing. All models of WV8840A
include an integrated NTC temperature sensor.
The WV8840A is powered from a thermopile heated by
the standing pilot flame. CS8840 pilot assemblies are
designed for use with this control.
The immersion well for sensing water temperature has
matched NTC thermistor sensors. These sensors
provide the fail-safe mechanism through which the
WV8840A can provide both accurate water temperature
control as well as water temperature limit (Temperature
Cut-Out [TCO]) function.
SPECIFICATIONS
