Important Safety Information

1. You must read and follow all instructions. Serious bodily injury or death could occur if you ignore this warning.

2. All circuit breakers and/or disconnect switches servicing the heater must be turned off when installing, uninstalling, or repairing this water heater.

3. The Hubbell Tankless Water Heater must be grounded.

4. The unit must be installed by a licensed electrician and plumber.

5. The unit must be wired in accordance with the current version of the National Electrical Code (US) or Canadian Electric Code (Canada).

6. This installation must comply with all national, state, and local plumbing and electrical codes.

7. 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)

8. If the Hubbell Tankless Water Heater is installed in a location where water damage could occur in the event of a leak, it is recommended that a drip pan be installed and connected to a suitable drain. Alternatively, an active water leak detector and shut off valve can be installed to turn off your water supply in the event a leak is detected.

9. If water supply has a high mineral content, a water softening system is recommended. Damage to the water heater resulting from scale or hard minerals will not be covered under warranty.

10. When the heater is installed in a well water system or if the plumbing system is prone to introducing air into the heater, it is highly recommended that an air separator be installed in the cold water feed to the heater to avoid possible failure of the heating element and/or heating chamber.

SECTION I – TANKLESS WATER HEATER OPERATING PRINCIPLE

How the Hubbell Tankless Water Heater Works:

For the most part, operating your new tankless water heater is very similar to using any traditional water heater system. However, it is very important that you carefully read all of the set-up procedures and operating instructions to ensure maximum performance and energy savings from your new water heater.

Your 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 you need it. As soon as you turn on a hot water faucet, a sophisticated flow sensor within the heater recognizes that you have turned on the water. 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 your 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%. Since your new water heater works on a demand basis, it will absolutely never run out of hot water no matter how many back to back showers you run!

It is important to keep in mind that every tankless water heater has a maximum flow rate. If you exceed this flow rate, the heater will not be capable of fully heating water. How much hot water your heater can provide will depend on the model you have selected and your incoming water temperature. If you live in an area of the country where inlet cold water temperature average 55° F or you have cold winters, you will probably NOT be able to run multiple large water demand fixtures at the same time. However, you will be able to run all your hot water fixtures back to back without ever having to wait. You will enjoy UNLIMITED HOT WATER. 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, you will enjoy significant energy savings over a conventional tank type water heater.

When you use hot water from a conventional tank type water heater, you need to mix a considerable volume of cold water to cool the hot water down to a safe, comfortable level. You need to do this because the heater is set at an extremely high temperature to prevent it from running out of hot water quickly. With a tankless water heater, you typically set the temperature at a much lower level since it is capable of heating your water on demand. This level will be much closer to the actual temperature at which you feel comfortable showering or bathing. As such, you will no longer need to mix much cold water to run a shower or bath; in fact, you may mix very little or no cold water. This is perfectly normal and means that you are no longer wasting energy by overheating your water.

SECTION III – INSTALLATION

WARNING: Serious bodily injury or death may occur if the following warnings are

ignored.

Locating and Mounting Instructions:

Your tankless water heater can be installed just about anywhere! Due to the small size of your water heater, it can be mounted in many small spaces, including closets, under sinks, in pantries, or under stair storage areas. However, there are some important guidelines to follow that will ensure that your installation is both safe and convenient in the event that future servicing is required.

This product is designed to be installed indoors only. You may be able to install your unit 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 your tankless water heater freezes, it can cause severe and permanent damage that is not covered under your warranty. If you suspect that your tankless water heater may have frozen, do not turn on the heater until it has thawed and you have inspected the system for leaks.

When selecting an installation location, give consideration to your existing plumbing configuration, location of your main electrical panel, and location of your bathroom, kitchen and laundry area. Try to choose a location that does not require you to make major plumbing alterations, that is close to your main electrical panel (this will reduce the amount of wire that you need to install), and that is physically close to the hot water fixtures that you use most often. By locating the heater close to the points-of-use, you will reduce the amount of time it takes for the hot water to travel from the water heater to your faucet. You should also give consideration to future servicing. Do NOT locate the water heater in a location that is difficult to access. In most cases, installing your tankless water heater in the same location as your old conventional tank-type water heater will make the most sense.

You should avoid installing your 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 you plan to install your water heater on a second floor or in a heated attic space, make sure that you follow all code requirements for such installations as required for your area. We recommend that you install a drip pan (connected to a drain) below the water heater to avoid property damage in the unlikely event of a leak. Alternatively, you can install an active water leak detector and shut-off valve designed to turn off your water supply in the event that a leak is ever detected.

Mounting the unit:

•

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.

• Leave a minimum of 4” to both sides and 12” 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.

Page 11

• 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.

T&P

• When connecting to a plumbing system that utilizes Flex or PVC, a

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:

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.

Do not solder any pipes with the unit connected to the pipes. Doing so

•

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.

Page 12

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 r un

•

through the water heater for at le ast three (3 ) minutes, cy cling th e flow on and off every minute. This process clears all t he air fro m the lines and must b e perf ormed prior to turning on the power at the unit.

WARNING:

damage the flow meter or heating elements and will void your warranty.

Failure to do this may

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.

Page 13

• 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 as shown below.

Alternate Voltage Configuration Settings:

• The unit is factory configured and optimized for 240 volts. If the actual voltage

supplied is less or equal to 230 volts, set the power factor in the configuration menu (see Temperature Controller User Interface Instructions in Section IV) according to the Alternate Voltage Table in Section II.

Sub-panel Wiring:

• When your new Hubbell Tankless Water Heater is to replace an existing tankless

water heater that utilizes a sub-panel with circuit breakers and you are keeping the existing sub-panel, see Appendix I for additional wiring details.

SECTION IV – OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

First Use of your Hubbell Tankless Water Heater:

Once the water supply is on and air has been purged from the system, power the unit on at the main panel. The unit is now operating automatically. When water flows through the unit, the heating elements turn on to heat the water to the displayed setpoint temperature. When the water flow stops, the heating elements turn off.

You can adjust the setpoint upward or downward by pressing the UP or DOWN button.

Displaying Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees and adjusting other settings for your tankless water heater can be done via the configuration menu, described below.

• Most people feel comfortable showering or bathing at a temperature between 98° and

105°F (37° to 41°C). We recommend that you set the output water temperature of your water heater in the range of 105° - 110°F (approx.41° - 43°C). This will ensure you have adequate hot water to meet all of your household needs while also maximizing your available water flow rate, reducing the risk of scalding to children and the elderly, and increasing the energy savings you achieve.

Page 15

• NOTE: All newer model dish washing machines are equipped with an internal heating element, and most clothes washing detergents are now designed for use in cold and warm water. There is no longer a need to set your water heater to a temperature above 125°F. Temperatures above this level (which most traditional water heaters are set to deliver) can cause serious scalding injuries to small children or elderly persons in your home.

Maintenance:

• The Hubbell Tankless Water Heater requires no maintenance other than to periodically check around the outside of the unit for leaks. If a water leak is detected from your water heater, turn off the water supply at the shut-off valve on the inlet side of the water heater, turn off the power to the heater at the main electrical panel and call a service technician or plumber for evaluation and repair.

• When any maintenance is performed on the water heater or the plumbing system that may introduce air into the water supply pipes, it is important to turn the power off to the water heater and purge the air out of the lines before restoring power to the unit. See Checking for Leaks and Purging Air in Section III.

SECTION V – TROUBLESHOOTING

Page 20

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 at the top (2) and the bottom (4) of the unit.

4. Verify that the main power feed is properly connected to the power distribution block.

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. Using the multi-meter probes with the setting at Volts – Alternating Current with a range 250+, place one probe on the lower screw of the left hand side (L1) of the power distribution block and the other probe on the lower screw of the right hand side (L2) of the power distribution block. A voltage reading in the appropriate range (either 208V or 240V) should be indicated.

3. Write down the voltages below:

Volts from L1 to L2

L1 L2

4. If no voltage is present, verify that the breakers or disconnect on the main panel have been turned on.

5. If the breakers are on and there is still no voltage present, contact an electrician to troubleshoot the feed.

6. If all voltage readings are acceptable, proceed to Check the Hi-Limit Thermostats

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. 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.

2. Using the multi-meter probes with the setting at Volts – Alternating Current with a range 250+, place one probe on the lower metal part of the thermostat and the other

Page 21

probe to the metal plate to ground the probe. 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 bottom of each hi-limit thermostat then again on the top of each hi-limit thermostat.

3. Write down the voltages below:

Bottom

1. Volts

2. Volts 3. Volts

Top

1. Volts

2. Volts 3. Volts

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. If correct voltage is present on the top and bottom continue to Check the Thermistor

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. Write down the measured and displayed temperatures below:

Cold temp.______ i###______ Hot Temp.______ o###______

5. 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 are significantly different continue with step 6. Otherwise, proceed to Check the Flow Meter

6. 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

Outlet Thermistor

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

Inlet Thermistor

indicated. NOTE: Alligator clips should be used. Holding the wires in your hands will give a false reading. Reconnect the wires.

7. Write down the resistance below:

Ohms

8. Repeat step 6 with the lower terminal block (inlet thermistor).

Page 22

9. Write down the resistance below:

Ohms

10. If either of these readings is not consistent with the chart (within ±10,000Ω), replace that thermistor.

11. If all ohms readings are acceptable, proceed to Check the Flow Meter
