A. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION / REQUIREMENTS
B. INTERNAL WIRING CONNECTION
The electrical connection forthe
appliance is on the back ofthe unit.
There is a 1/2” knockout location
for an electrical connection for
the appliance’s incoming power
connection. All electrical wiring
must be performed by a qualified
licensed electrician in accordance
with National Electrical CodeANSI/
NFPAand/orthe Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1 CSAC22.1, or to any
applicable local codes and standards.
Foryour convenience, all the points
forelectrical connections needed to
operate the appliance are labeled.
NOTE: Always check electrical
ground to known earth ground;
if less than 0.5 ohms, ground is
sucient (meter MUST be on
lowest setting).
We recommend a simplified test,
diering from one looking for
building earth ground issues, it is our
intent to use this test as an indicator
ofequipment room electrical
grounding issues, orequipment
bonding issues, not prove the earth
ground to the building.
Take an Ohm meter and place one
lead on a known earth ground (not
the groundwire on the appliance),
and place the otherlead on 1) The
near appliance system piping, 2)The
appliance heat exchanger, or3)The
appliance cabinet.
If any of those readings exceed 0.5
Ohms, then it is a good indicator
that there may be sucient stray
current flowing through thewater
in the piping system to accelerate
or amplify conditions that can cause
pump, appliance or piping issues in
the not too distant future.
If any readings are over 0.5 ohms,
an electrician should be brought in
to correct the problem.
The electrical requirements are for
standard 208–240 volt split phase,
50/60 Hz 15 Amp service.When
the unit is first powered on, there is
a self-setting ofthe electronics for
50 Hz or 60 Hz.At every power up,
the electronicswill take a couple of
seconds to compare the pulses ofthe
powerto the pulses of the crystal,
which is built into the electronics.
Then all time-related functions are
correct no matterthe power source.
The standard supplied pumps are
all 208–240 VAC, 60 cycle and are
to be wired to terminals indicated
on the appliance. In 50 cycle
applications, otherpumps may need
to be supplied, depending on water
conditions.
The incoming power shall be connected
directly to the labeled, intended
connection points only. Failure to do so
may result in an electrical short and the
control board will have to be replaced!
CAUTION
It is extremely important that this unit be
properly grounded! It is very important
that the building ground is inspected by
a qualified electrician prior to making this
connection!
DANGER
Failure to confirm propergrounding and the absence of strayvoltage may
result in premature component failure. See start up and commissioning
documents (DXXXXX–Start Up Checklist) fordetails.
Terminal G (seeAppendix) in the electrical compartment must be connected to
the building ground system.
The incoming 208–240volt split phase powersupply is connected to
terminals L1, L2, N and ground, see drawings in Part 2, Section B.
It is important that the electrical poweris not turned on at this time. Double
check all connections and then turn the power on.The display that is provided
with the appliance should now be reading the Setpoint temperature.
NOTE: See Start-Up Procedures (Part 6, Section D) to change the
temperature setting or run the appliance.
