GENERAL

The Eemax, Inc.™ AccuMix II heater is specifically designed to take in cold water and heat it to temperatures
suitable for handwashing and other mild temperature uses up to a factory preset of 105°F. The unit employs a
complex algorithm that actively manages power application to real-time system demand. An integrated flow
meter, along with inlet and outlet thermistors, provide data that allows the heater to instantly adapt to
variations in flow and temperature. It is also equipped with an ASSE 1070-2004 approved mixing valve to meet
UPC 407.3 and similar plumbing codes for public handwashing applications. AccuMix II employs an integrated
mixing valve utilized according to the manufacturer’s stated specifications and certified to ASSE 1070-2004.

To obtain optimum performance and energy savings, the unit should be located as close as possible to the point­of-use. The unit is supplied with compression rings and nuts suitable for direct coupling to 3/8” copper or PEX™
piping. Do not use additional screwed fittings, pipe dope or teflon tape – doing so will void the warranty. DO
NOT SOLDER PIPES WHILE THE UNIT IS INSTALLED as serious damage to the heater will result.
