COMMISSIONING THE WATER HEATER
CAUTION
Before switching the electrical breaker "on", make sure the inlet and outlet ball valves
are fully open and water is flowing through all points of use for a minimum of 2
minutes at maximum flow. Open and close drain valve 3 times while purging to
remove any lodged air bubbles. Do not switch the breaker "on" if there is any
possibility the water in the heater is frozen.
After verifying the heater has been purged of air (see above)
and the cover has been secured to the unit, turn the circuit
breaker/disconnect “ON” and observe the start-up sequence
on the display. The unit will first display a splash screen. The
Safe Start will commence. The unit needs to purge a volume
of 1.5 gallons of water at a rate of 0.5 GPM or greater, before
it will begin to heat. The heater cannot measure less than 0.5
GPM of flow rate and will not deduct volume from the “gallons
left” counter unless the flow rate is over 0.5 GPM. The
instantaneous flow rate is displayed on the Safe Start screen
for your reference. This procedure will run each time the
electrical power supply is turned off/on to the unit.
After Safe Start has completed, the LCD screen will briefly
display “Heater commissioned” and then the “Run” screen
which includes: SETPOINT TEMPERATURE in degrees F in the
upper left corner. Inlet temperature and outlet temperature
in degrees F are on the next line. Flow in GPM and the
Software version are on the third line. The load percentage on
each element is on the last line.
Below the display are 4 push buttons that are used to control
the function of the heater. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to
establish your desired set point temperature.
NOTE: DO NOT remove or replace the cover while the power
is on. Button malfunction may occur. If button malfunction
occurs reset the power to the unit after the cover is properly
secured in place.
