Atwood G6A-6E ------ 6 gallon 'gas' only with electronic ignitor
Uses a front mount t-stat/ECO
T-stat OPENS at 140*F and CLOSES at 110*F
ECO OPENS at 180*F and CLOSES (auto reset) at 150*F
Normal operation ECO should always be CLOSED
T&P Relief Valve
OPENS on HIGH Temperature 210*F
OPENS on HIGH Pressure 150# ---resets 125#
IT is the fail safe device........normal t-stat fails then ECO, ECO fails then T&P
Depending on which tank was used T&P can be 1/2" NPT or 3/4" NPT threads. Available at most any hardware store
'FAULT' Light (Red light ON/OFF Switch Panel) Comes ON:
IF propane fails to light off and PROVE (no return signal to circuit board ---so voltage on gas valve gets dropped closing it)
IF 'Thermal Cut off' trips (190*F blow back ------dirty/obstructed combustion chamber)
IF ECO OPENS
