Electrical Connections
Ensure the unit is powered by a dedicated 240‑V circuit with a minimum 30‑A breaker‚ as specified in the product data sheet. Disconnect the main power before any work. Use UL‑listed‚ 3‑wire cable (ground‚ two hots) sized per NEC Table 310.15(B)(16). Strip the outer jacket‚ expose 3/4‑in. conductors‚ and connect them to the corresponding terminals on the unit’s backplate: black to L1‚ red to L2‚ green to ground. Tighten all terminal screws to the manufacturer’s torque specification (typically 20‑25 ft‑lb). Verify polarity with a multimeter and confirm continuity between the ground and the unit’s metal chassis. Route the cable through a conduit that meets local code‚ ensuring no sharp bends. Mark the cable entry point with a tag indicating the circuit number. Label the breaker in the panel with the unit’s model number. Check for proper grounding by measuring resistance between the ground wire and the building’s grounding electrode; it should be below 4 ohms. If the unit is installed in a wet location‚ use a conduit rated for moisture. After connections‚ re‑install the cover plate‚ ensuring it is secure and properly sealed. Finally‚ restore power and perform a short‑circuit test to confirm proper operation before proceeding to water supply setup. If any fault codes appear on the indicator lights‚ consult the troubleshooting section before connecting water lines.
Water Supply Setup
Before connecting the unit‚ shut off the main water supply and drain the lines to avoid air pockets. Install a 1‑in. cold‑water supply line and a 1‑in. hot‑water return line‚ each equipped with a 1‑in. check valve to prevent backflow. The cold line should enter the unit’s inlet marked “Cold” and the hot line should connect to the outlet marked “Hot”. Tighten all connections to the manufacturer’s torque spec (typically 20‑25 ft‑lb). Install a pressure‑reducing valve (PRV) upstream of the unit to maintain a maximum inlet pressure of 80 psi‚ as higher pressures can damage the heat exchanger. After the PRV‚ fit a 1‑in. pressure relief valve (PRV) on the hot line to discharge excess pressure safely. Ensure the relief valve’s discharge pipe is directed away from the unit and is at least 6 in. above the floor. Verify the unit’s water temperature sensor is correctly positioned on the hot line‚ approximately 12 in. downstream of the heat exchanger. Finally‚ Also‚ check all fittings for leaks by applying a soap solution and inspecting for bubbles. Once confirmed‚ restore the water supply and allow the unit to purge air by running the hot water for at least 5 minutes before use.
Mounting and Ventilation
Mount the unit on a stable‚ level surface using the manufacturer‑specified mounting brackets. Ensure the mounting height places the exhaust outlet at least 18 in. above the floor and 12 in. above any adjacent surfaces to prevent backdraft. The unit requires a minimum clearance of 12 in. on all sides for air circulation; the exhaust vent must be directed upward and away from windows‚ doors‚ or any openings that could allow exhaust gases to re‑enter the living space. Install a 4‑in. diameter exhaust pipe‚ connecting it to the unit’s exhaust port with a stainless‑steel clamp. The pipe should be straight‚ with no more than two 90° bends‚ and capped at the end with a vent hood that meets local code. Verify the vent hood is securely fastened and that the pipe is free of obstructions. Use a vent hood gasket to seal the connection and prevent leaks. After assembly‚ perform a visual check for proper alignment and secure mounting. Finally‚ test the exhaust system by turning the unit on and observing the airflow; a steady‚ unobstructed flow indicates correct installation. Keep the vent hood clear of obstructions and inspect the exhaust pipe for corrosion to ensure safe‚ efficient operation. Now!
