I - GENERAL INFORMATION This tankless water heater is a high output, high efficiency appliance, which heats the water continuously as hot water is being drawn for use. Unlike tank type storage water heaters, this water heater does not store hot water. The burner operates whenever there is a demand for hot water and is off when the hot water flow stops. Hot water is continuously supplied for any length of time required as long as the specified flow rates are not exceeded. There is no need to

III - MAIN COMPONENTS 1. Mechanical Water Regulator The unique water regulator mechanism ensures the hot water is maintained with no noticeable change to the desired temperature during use, even if water pressure drops due to another tap being turned on and increasing the demand. 2. Preset Bypass A preset volume of cold water is mixed with water heated in the heat exchanger. 3. Burner The burner assembly is made up of 16 identical stainless steel Bunsen burners, secured by an aluminized steel fr

III - MAIN COMPONENTS (cont.) 5. Combustion Fan Air for the combustion is supplied by a centrifugal fan driven by a DC motor. After a pre-purge period of 0.2 seconds, the fan speed is controlled by the PCB to provide the correct volume of air for combustion. The calculation for the fan speed is based upon incoming water temperature, water flow and the temperature selected on the remote controls. The actual speed of the motor is continuously monitored by a magnetic pulse sensor. This sensor emits

IV - SAFETY DEVICE FUNCTION Flame Failure Situated to the right of the burner in the front of the combustion chamber, the flame rod monitors the combustion process. This sensor monitors the flame intensity, while the PCB compares this signal to the feed back signal from the combustion fan motor, water flow control, and gas flow through the POV valve. If any one of the feedback signals are incorrect, the unit will shut off, preventing discharge of gas to the burner. Over Heat Protection Device Al

IV - SAFETY DEVICE FUNCTION (cont.) Over temperature Cut-Off The temperature of the outgoing hot water is constantly monitored by the water temperature thermistor located near the outlet of the appliance. If the outgoing water temperature reaches 5 °F above the preset temperature, the burner will automatically deactivate. The burner will ignite again when the outgoing hot water temperature falls below the preset temperature. 18

V - SEQUENCE OF OPERATION The preset temperature is selected at one of the remotes controls (where fitted). Where no remote control is fitted , the default temperature can be set at 108, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, or 180°F. To select one of the above temperatures as your default setting, you MUST obtain written permission and training (Contact your technical service group). When the unit is first plugged into 120 volts, the PCB assumes an incoming water temperature of 77°F. This prevents the

V - SEQUENCE OF OPERATION (cont.) When the hot water tap is turned off, the water flow sensor stops revolving, and the magnetic pulse ceases, indicating to the PCB that there is no water flowing, in turn the PCB closes the gas valves. The combustion fan continues to operate for 65 seconds. This will provide quicker ignition when the tap is turned on and off in rapid succession, and removes the need for a pre-purge cycle allowing the burner to re-light immediately when a hot water tap is opened a
