SECTION I – TANKLESS WATER HEATER OPERATING PRINCIPLE
How the Hubbell Tankless Water Heater Works:
For the most part, operating the new tankless water heater is very similar to using any traditional water heater system. However, it is very important that all of the set-up procedures and operating instructions are carefully read to ensure maximum performance and energy savings from the new water heater.
The Hubbell Tankless Water Heater does not store hot water like a conventional tank-type water heater. It contains high powered heating elements that are capable of heating water instantly on-demand as needed. As soon as there is a hot water demand, a sophisticated flow sensor within the heater recognizes the demand and initiates the heating process. This sensor measures the water flow rate while two other sensors measure the incoming and outgoing water temperature. This information is transmitted continually to the microprocessor controller which determines the precise amount of power to send to the heating elements to heat the water to the desired temperature. The Hubbell tankless water heater only uses as much power as is needed to meet the demand by fully modulating the heating elements from 0 to 100%.
It is important to keep in mind that all tankless water heaters are subject to a maximum flow rate. If this flow rate is exceeded, the heater will not be capable of fully heating water. The amount of water that can be heated by the tankless water heater at any given time will depend on the model selected and the incoming water temperature. See the charts in Section II to determine the maximum flow rates.
Moreover, since a tankless water heater eliminates the ongoing thermal losses caused by storing hot water in a tank, there will be a significant energy savings compared to a conventional tank type water heater.

SECTION III – INSTALLATION
WARNING: Serious bodily injury or death may occur if the following warnings are
ignored.
• All circuit breakers and/or disconnect switches servicing this heater must be turned
off before installing, repairing or uninstalling this water heater.
• Installation of this product is restricted to indoor locations.
• Installation
MUST
be done by a licensed electrician and licensed plumber.
Locating and Mounting Instructions:
The Hubbell tankless water heater can be installed just about anywhere. Due to the small size of the water heater, it can be mounted in many small spaces. However, there are some important guidelines to follow that will ensure that the installation is both safe and convenient in the event that future servicing is required.
This product is designed to be installed indoors only. The unit may be installed in an outdoor location as long as it is mounted in a suitable enclosure that protects it from rain, splashed water, direct sunlight, debris, and insects. This product should NOT be installed in a location where it may be subjected to freezing temperatures. If the water inside the tankless water heater freezes, it can cause severe and permanent damage that is not covered under the warranty. If you suspect that the tankless water heater may have frozen, do not turn on the heater until it has thawed and it has been inspected for leaks.
When selecting an installation location, give consideration to the existing plumbing configuration, location of your main electrical panel, and location of the point of use. Try to choose a location that does not require major plumbing alterations, that is close to the main electrical panel (this will reduce the amount of wire needed to install), and that is physically close to the hot water fixtures. By locating the heater close to the points of use, this will reduce the amount of time it takes for the hot water to travel from the water heater to the point of use. Consideration should also be given to future servicing. Do NOT locate the water heater in a location that is difficult to access. In most cases, installing the tankless water heater in the same location as the old conventional tank-type water heater will make the most sense.
Avoid installing the tankless water heater in a location prone to excessive humidity, moisture, or dust, or in an area where it may be splashed with water or other liquids. Do NOT install under water pipes or air conditioning lines that might leak or condense moisture that could then drip onto the heater. Do NOT install above electrical boxes or junctions.
If installation of the water heater will be on a second floor, make sure that all code requirements for such installations as required for your area are followed. Hubbell recommends that a drip pan (connected to a drain) is installed below the water heater to avoid property damage in the unlikely event of a leak. Alternatively, an active water leak detector and shut-off valve designed to turn off the water supply in the event that a leak is ever detected may be installed.
Mounting the unit:
Leave a minimum of 12” to both sides and 4” on the top and bottom of the unit.
Mount the water heater securely to the wall by putting four (4) screws through the
mounting holes.
Install a ¼” diameter bead of sealing caulk around the entire perimeter of the heater
between the heater back panel and the wall. This prevents any moisture or debris from accumulating.

Plumbing Installation Instructions:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Ensure all fitting installations comply with local plumbing and building codes.
This water heater does not require a temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve. You may install a T&P relief valve if the county, city or state plumbing code requires it.
Installations in the Commonwealth of MASSACHUSETTS and KENTUCKY require
a
T&P
relief valve.
Page 11
11
When connecting to a plumbing system that utilizes Flex or PVC, a
T&P
relief valve
should be used as added safety.
Do not connect the unit directly to CPVC pipe. You must use at least three feet of copper pipe prior to connecting to any CPVC connection.
WARNING:
Do not solder any pipes with the unit connected to the pipes. Doing so
will damage the flow meter and void your warranty.
Before energizing the heater, run water for a minimum of three (3) minutes and verify that all air has been removed.
Installation of an air separator device is recommended for installations where air can be easily introduced into the water system (i.e. Well water systems, lake pumps, and other municipal systems).
• A shut off valve MUST be installed on inlet side of unit. A shut off valve on the
outlet is recommended.
Pipe Preparation:
Cut the tube so that the ends are square. WARNING: Ensure that there are no burrs or
damage to the
cut end. This will prevent any damage to the internal o-ring.
Once the tubing end is cut square and clean, mark the pipe to be installed at a distance
of 1 ¾” from the end of the pipe. This is the insertion depth.
Check that fittings and tubing are
clean, in good condition and are free from damage
and foreign objects.
Flushing the Line:
Before connecting the copper pipe to the water heater, it is extremely important to flush the lines to eliminate all plumbing paste, residue, or debris in the lines.
Installation to Quick-Connect Fitting:
If using PEX tubing, insert the supplied stiffener into the end of the pipe.
To assemble correctly, the tubing needs to be pushed into the fitting until it reaches the mark previously scribed. Push the tube firmly with a slight twisting action until it reaches the tube stop.
Connect the cold water line to the water heater inlet marked cold water. Connect the
hot water line to the water heater outlet marked hot water.
After inserting both fittings, open the hot water faucet and allow water to run through the water heater for at least three (3) minutes, cycling the flow on and off every minute. This process clears all the air from the lines and must be performed prior to turning on the power at the unit.
WARNING:
Failure to do this may
damage the flow meter or heating elements and will void your warranty.
Page 12
12
Disconnecting a Joint:
Gently remove the cover to the quick-connect fitting.
Depress the collet of the quick-connect fitting and pull the tubing to remove the quick-
connect fitting.
Checking for Leaks and Purging Air:
If unit has been wired, verify all circuit breakers supplying power to the unit are
turned off.
Open all hot water taps supplied by the unit and inspect water connections for leaks.
With all hot water taps still open, allow the water to run for a minimum of 3
minutes. Inspect each tap to ensure all air in the lines has been purged. This process purges all the air from the water lines and MUST be performed prior to turning on the power at the unit.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS STEP CAN CAUSE
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATING ELEMENTS.
Close all hot water taps.
Electrical Installation Instructions:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The unit must be wired in accordance with the current version of the National
Electrical Code (US) or Canadian Electric Code (Canada).
The unit must have its own independent circuits.
When the heater is not within sight of the electrical circuit breakers, an additional
local means of disconnection of all ungrounded conductors must be provided that is within sight of the appliance or a circuit breaker lockout must be used. (Ref. NEC
422.31)
• Wire entry must be through the electrical KO provided in the bottom of the unit.
For Canada, per Canadian Electric Code, C22.1-02, the unit must be wired by a single
feed installation with one (1) double-pole circuit breaker.
For US, the unit may be wired by a single feed installation with one (1) double-pole
circuit breaker or by a multiple feed installation with multiple double-pole circuit breakers.
Wiring to the water heater:
• Connect the pow er wi re from the main pa nel to the power dist ribution block or
magnetic contactor as applicable.
Connect the main ground wire to the ground lug in the heater.
Make sure the connections are securely tightened.

Tankless water heaters are considered a non-continuous load. If a multiple feed installation is used, it is acceptable to install up to two conductors in
one line side port. Additionally, when a power distribution block is supplied, additional conductors may be installed in an open load side port of the power distribution block.
Wiring sizing listed is for 75°C THHN. 60°C or 90°C wire may be used. Refer to
NEC table 310.16 for sizing.
Conductors should be sized to maintain a voltage drop of less than 3% under load.Electrical specifications for the High Flow (HX) models are the same as listed for the
Low Flow (TX) models.

Remote Display
An optional remote display may be supplied and connected to the TK2000 control board as shown below.
Priority and Remote Controls:
Optionally, the tankless water heater may be connected to another electrical device (10A @240VAC max.) that will give priority to the water heater over that device to ensure that both do not operate at the same time and/or the tankless water heater may be wired to a remote switch, relay, or provided with a 24VDC signal (such as from a building maintenance system) to allow the tankless water heater to be remotely controlled. The diagram and description
Page 25
25
below provide details on how connections to the tankless water heater control board are to be made.
1. Priority Relay (10A@240VAC max.) a. When the unit is demanding power:
i. The connection between the terminals marked C and NO are closed and
will allow power to pass through.
ii. The connection between the terminals marked C and NC are open and will
not allow power to pass through.
b. When the unit is not demanding power:
i. The connection between the terminals marked C and NO are open and will
not allow power to pass through.
ii. The connection between the terminals marked C and NC are closed and
will allow power to pass through.
2. Remote Control a. When a 24VDC signal (5mA draw max.) is supplied between terminals P1 and
P2, the heater will operate or be inhibited as determined by the Remote Control settings as shown above. Loss of 24VDC signal will have the opposite effect.
b. When wired to a volt-free contact (10A max.) between terminal P2 and P3 (output
signal 24VDC@5mA), opening or closing the contact will allow the heater to operate or inhibit operation as determined by the Remote Control settings as shown above.

SECTION V – TROUBLESHOOTING
Initial Evaluation:
Page 27

Advanced Troubleshooting:
WARNING: Serious bodily injury or death may occur if the following warnings are
ignored.
This following portion of this section is intended for use by a QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
All circuit breakers must be turned off at the main panel before the cover of the unit
is removed. This troubleshooting section will cover all the points that need to be checked from an electrical standpoint to ensure that the Hubbell tankless water heater is working correctly and to determine which component may need to be replaced.
Tools Required:
Phillips screwdriver
Clamp multi-meter able to read voltage and amperage (amperage readings require a
clamp type meter).
Thermometer
Pre-Operational Procedures:
1. With power to the unit turned ON, verify that the configuration settings are correct in
accordance with the Temperature Controller User Interface Instructions in Section IV.
2. TURN OFF POWER AT THE MAIN PANEL.
3. Remove the cover by unscrewing the screws located on all sides of the unit.
4. Verify that the main power feed is properly connected to the power distribution block
or magnetic contactor, as applicable.
5. Verify all connections are tight.
Check the Power Supply to the Unit:
1. Turn on power to the unit from the main panel.
2. Check the incoming voltage between each phase at the line side of the power
distribution block or magnetic contactor, as applicable.
3. If no voltage is present between all phases, verify that the breakers or disconnect on
the main panel have been turned on.
4. If the breakers are on and there is still no voltage present or if the incorrect voltage or
no voltage is present between any two phases, contact an electrician to troubleshoot
the feed.
5. If all voltage readings are acceptable, proceed to Check the Transformer
.
Check the Transformer:
1. The transformer is utilized on units with supply voltages above 240 volts to supply a
reduced voltage capable of powering the temperature controller.
2. If the display is lit or the unit is not equipped with a transformer (208 and 240 volt
units), proceed to Check the Hi-Limit Thermostats
.
3. Check the voltage on the primary side of the transformer.
4. If there is no voltage present, check the wiring and connections to the primary side of
the transformer from the power distribution block or magnetic contactor, as
applicable.
5. Check the voltage on the secondary side of the transformer.
6. If the secondary voltage does not conform to the table below, replace the transformer.
7. If all voltage readings are acceptable, proceed to Check the Hi-Limit Thermostats
.
Page 28
28
Primary Voltage Secondary Voltage (±5%)
380 207 415 221 440 214 480 234 575 206 600 215
Note: The secondary voltage listed in the transformer is based the transformer being used at full capacity. Because there is essentially “no load” on the transformer, the secondary voltage will be higher than the voltage listed on the transformer. This “regulation” varies from 8.4% to 12% depending on the primary voltage and the transformer used.
Check the Hi-Limit Thermostats:
1. The unit is supplied with safety hi-limit thermostats mounted on the plate that holds
the heating chamber in place. In single phase units, these thermostats allow the power from one phase of the terminal block to flow to the heating element. If the hi-limit thermostat fails it will not supply the heating element with power and therefore the heating element will not turn on and produce heat. In three-phase units, the thermostats are wired in series to a magnetic contactor coil. If any hi-limit thermostat fails it will not supply power to the contactor coil and therefore no power will be supplied to any heating elements.
2. For single-phase units, check the voltage between the left-hand metal connection point
of the thermostat and the metal plate. If shrink-wrap is present around the metal connection point to the hi-limit thermostat, cut back the shrink-wrap with a knife to expose the metal connection. A voltage reading around 120V should be indicated since this component is being fed by one leg of the electrical power coming off the terminal block. Perform this step on the left-hand connection of each hi-limit thermostat then again on the right-hand connection of each hi-limit thermostat.
3. If there is no voltage at the bottom of any hi-limit thermostat, then check the wiring
and connections between that hi-limit thermostat and the power distribution block.
4. If correct voltage is present at the bottom of the hi-limit thermostat but no voltage is
present at the top of the thermostat, then that hi-limit thermostat needs to be replaced.
5. If correct voltage is present on the top and bottom continue to Check the Thermistor
.
6. For three-phase units, if the magnetic contactor is pulled in, continue to Check the
Thermistor. Otherwise, starting at the left-hand connection of the lowest hi-limit thermostat, check the voltage between the metal connection point of the thermostat and the metal plate.
7. A voltage reading around 120V should be indicated. If no voltage is present at this
point, check the wiring and connections to this hi-limit thermostat from the magnetic contactor or transformer, as applicable.
Page 29
29
8. If correct voltage is present, check the voltage at the right-hand side of the thermostat,
then the left-hand side of the thermostat above and continue this pattern to the
uppermost thermostat.
9. If at any point there is voltage on the left-hand side and there is no voltage on the
right-hand side of the same thermostat, replace that hi-limit thermostat.
10. If at any point there is voltage on the right-hand side of a thermostat and there is no
voltage on the left-hand side of the thermostat above it, check the wiring and
connections.
11. If all voltage readings are good and the contactor is not pulled in, check the wiring and
connections between the right-hand side of the uppermost thermostat and the magnetic
contactor coil.
12. If the wiring and connections are good, replace the magnetic contactor.
Check the Thermistor:
1. The thermistor is a temperature sensing device that changes resistance with changes in
temperature. It is designed to register 150,000Ω at 25°C (77°F).
2. Set the unit to diagnostic mode by pressing and releasing the UP and DOWN buttons
simultaneously.
3. With a thermometer, measure the temperature of the cold water and hot water at a
fixture.
4. Compare the displayed inlet temperature (i###) to the measured cold water
temperature and the displayed outlet temperature (o###) to the measured hot water
temperature. If either of these readings is significantly different, continue with the
next step. Otherwise, proceed to Check the Flow
Meter.
5. At the right hand side of the temperature
controller are two terminal blocks. Disconnect
the wires from the uppermost terminal block
(outlet thermistor). Using the multi-meter probes
with the setting at OHMS or Ω, place one probe
on the end of one wire and the other probe on the
end of the other wire. An ohms reading
consistent with the chart below for the
approximate temperature of the water should be
indicated. NOTE: Alligator clips should be used.
Holding the wires in your hands will give a false
reading. Reconnect the wires.

6. Repeat the above step with the lower terminal block (inlet thermistor).
7. If either of these readings is not consistent with the chart (within ±10,000Ω), replace
that thermistor.
8. If all ohms readings are acceptable, proceed to Check the Flow Meter
.
Check the Flow Meter:
1. Set the unit to diagnostic mode by pressing and releasing the UP and DOWN buttons
simultaneously.
2. Turn on a hot water tap at a fixture that will ensure a good flow rate through the unit.
3. If the flow rate on the display reads ‘F00.0’ then continue with the next step.
Otherwise, proceed to Check the Temperature Controller
.
4. Verify that the wiring from the flow switch is connected to the control board in the
order WHITE/GREEN/BROWN from left to right.
5. With no flow on the unit, using the multi-meter probes with the setting at Volts –
Direct Current, place one probe on the terminal block where the WHITE wire is connected (F1) and the other probe where the BROWN wire is connected (F3). A voltage reading in the appropriate range (5V) should be indicated.
6. If the voltage reading is not in the appropriate range (5V), replace the temperature
controller.
7. Turn on a hot water tap at a fixture that will ensure a good flow rate through the unit
and using the multi-meter probes with the setting at Volts – Direct Current, place one probe on the terminal block where the WHITE wire is connected (F1) and the other probe where the GREEN wire is connected (F2). A voltage reading in the appropriate range (2.5V) should be indicated.
8. If the voltage reading is not in the appropriate range (2.5V), replace the flow meter.
9. If all voltage readings are acceptable, proceed to Check the Temperature Controller
.
Check the Temperature Controller:
1. At the top of the temperature controller there are 4 sets of terminal blocks. Verify the
wiring is correct as indicated in the wiring diagram specific to the model.
2. Check the voltage between the terminal block where the RED wire is connected (this
will be the leftmost terminal) and the metal heater chamber cover. A voltage reading in the appropriate range (120V) should be indicated.
3. If no voltage is present, verify that the RED wire in the terminal block is properly
tightened and verify that the opposite end of the RED wire is properly connected to the power distribution block, magnetic contactor, or transformer, as applicable.
4. Check the voltage between the terminal block where the BLACK wire is connected at
the second terminal from the left and the metal heating chamber cover. A voltage reading in the appropriate range (120V) should be indicated. Repeat this step for each of the BLACK wires.
5. If no voltage is present, verify that the BLACK wire in the terminal block is properly
tightened and verify that the opposite end of the BLACK wire is properly connected to the power distribution block, magnetic contactor, or transformer, as applicable.
6. If voltage is present where both the RED and BLACK wires connect to the terminals
and there is no display, replace the temperature controller.
7. Check the voltage between each additional BLACK wire from left to right and the
metal heating chamber cover. A voltage reading in the appropriate range (one half of the incoming power voltage, i.e. if the incoming power is 480V, then the reading should be 240V) should be indicated.
8. If no voltage is present, verify that the BLACK wires in the terminal block are
properly tightened and verify that the opposite ends of the BLACK wires are properly jumpered to the previous BLACK wire connection terminal or properly connected the magnetic contactor, as applicable.
9. Turn on a hot water tap at a fixture that will ensure a good flow rate through the unit
and set the temperature at the highest setting so the unit calls for full power.
Page 31
31
10. Check the voltage between the terminal block where the first YELLOW wire is
connected from left to right and the metal heating chamber cover. A voltage reading in the appropriate range (one half of the incoming power voltage, i.e. if the incoming power is 480V, then the reading should be 240V) should be indicated. Repeat this step for each of the YELLOW wires.
11. If no voltage is present on any one of the YELLOW wires, replace the temperature
controller.
12. If all voltage readings are acceptable, proceed to Check the Triacs (Step 1)
.
Check the Triacs (Step 1):
1. The triacs are the switching mechanism for turning the
heating elements on and off.
2. Turn on a hot water tap at a fixture that will ensure a good
flow rate through the unit and set the temperature at the highest setting so the unit calls for full power.
3. Check the voltage between one of the screws where the
RED wire is connected to the top of the heating element
and the screw where the other RED wire is connected to the top of the heating element. A voltage reading in the appropriate range (equal to the incoming line voltage) should be indicated.
4. If no voltage is present on any heating element, the triac connected to that element
should be replaced.
5. If all voltage readings are acceptable, proceed to Check the Heating Elements
.
Check the Heating Elements:
1. To check the heating element the amperage draw from each
heating element must be verified. To do this the unit must be operating.
2. Turn on a hot water tap at a fixture that will ensure a good
flow rate through the unit and set the temperature at the highest setting.
3. Using a clamp-on multi-meter, clamp the meter around one
of the RED wires going to the lowest heating element. The reading should be as indicated (±5%) based on the specific model listed in the Electrical Specification table in the Installation section.
4. Repeat for all the heating elements.
5. If any amp reading is not within the range as indicated in the chart, that heating
element should be replaced.
6. If all readings are within range continue to Check the Triacs (Step 2).
Check to Triacs (Step 2):
1. Turn off the flow of hot water.
2. Using a clamp-on multi-meter, clamp the meter around one of the RED wires going to
