3.3 Technical Information

Table 3 Technical data and temperature rise information

The temperature rises are based on the higher voltage values

(i.e. 240 and 120):lower voltages will cause a lower

temperature rise.

To operate correctly the unit needs the following running water

pressures:

Table 4 Water pressure requirements

4 Installation

DANGER:

Risk of electric shock!

▶ For safety reasons, disconnect the power supply to the

heater before any service or testing is performed.

▶ This heater must be electrically grounded in accordance

withthemost recentedition oftheNational ElectricalCode.

NFPA 70. In Canada, all electrical wiring to the heater must

be in accordance with local codes and the Canadian

Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1.

4.1 Install Location

NOTICE:

Appliance damage!

▶ The water heater must be mounted on a vertical wall or

surface and positioned with water and power connections

shown in Fig. 13.

Installation

Tronic 3000 – 6 721 803 545 (2020/02)

▶ Install the heater outside the protection areas and keep a

minimum distance of 24" (60cm) from the bathtub.

Fig. 4 Protection areas for bathtub or shower stall

DANGER:

Risk of electric shock!

▶ Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from power and

all circuits breakers are off before performing any work.

4.1.1 Freeze prevention

If the heater must be left in a space that is subject to freezing

temperatures, all water must be drained from the heater.

Freezing damage is not covered under the warranty.

NOTICE:

Appliance damage!

▶ Use of agents like anti-freeze are not allowed as they may

cause damage to the water heater’s internal components.

Draining the heater

Follow the procedure below to best minimize the chance of

freeze damage:

▶ Disconnect electric supply.

▶ Disconnect cold and hot water pipes from fittings on

bottom of heater. Allow water to drain out.

▶ After allowing all water to drain out, the heater should be

blown out with low pressure compressed air to remove as

much water as possible.

4.2 Water connections

▶ The unit should be connected directly to the main cold

water supply and not to pre-heated water. The unit should

be installed with service valves on both the inlet and outlet.

These valves can be used to turn off the water supply to the

unit if it needs servicing, or to reduce the water flow if it is

too high.

▶ We recommend that you use ½" copper or high pressure

flex connections rated to a minimum of 150 psi.

▶ Use Teflon tape for sealing pipe threads. Do NOT use pipe

dope.

▶ The inlet and outlet are clearly marked on the unit. They

each is a male ½" NPT fitting.

▶ If the unit is to supply a sink, we recommend that you use

aerators.

▶ If the unit is to supply more than one sink, the aerator

should be the same at each tap if they are to be used at the

same time.

▶ Before the unit is connected to the water supply flush the

pipes to remove, flush the incoming pipework with water to

remove any debris or loose particles. Failure to do so may

make the unit inoperable.

4.3 Water quality

Water quality will have an impact on appliance longevity.

If water quality exceeds one or more of the values specified on

table 5, water softening/conditioning is required.

▶ Connect the cables to the terminal block (Fig. 10):

insulation needs to be through the end of the grommet to

provide a good seal.

Fig. 10

▶ Ensure that all the terminal block screws are tightened

securely.

▶ Set the Power Selector Screw to the desired setting. If it is

set to LO (Fig. 12), only one heating element will

operate and the output will be half power. See the Table 3

for temperature rise at various flow rates. If the element is

set on HI (Fig. 11), both heating elements will operate

and the output will be full power (default setting). When

setting the Power Selector Screw, ensure that the screw is

adjusted all the way to the end of the slot and that it is well

tightened.

4.5 Securing the unit to the wall

4.5.1 Deciding the position

▶ If being used in a public place, position theunit out of reach

to discourage vandalism.

▶ Mount the unit onto a flat section of wall away from any

potential splashes of water or spray.

Keep the lengths of hot water pipe to a minimum in order to

reduce thermal loss.

▶ If the unit is to supply a sink, install it either above or below

the sink.
