Fluctuations in hot water temperatures.
The amount of hot water at a certain fixture is not constant.
• The unit will not heat the water if the flow rate is less than
0.5 gallons per minute. Open the fixture more or open other fixtures so that a greater flow passes through the unit, and the unit should begin heating again.
• Set water temperature at 115 to use a higher flow of hot water thus meeting the minimum flow requirement of 0.5 gpm.
• Clean the water filter of any debris (
Amount of Hot Water
• When hot water is demanded at other fixtures, the amount available may be reduced. The maximum flow available from this unit is a 45°F temp. rise. for N-069M=6.9 GPM / for N-063S=6.3 GPM
• Pressure fluctuations and other plumbing conditions can cause the temperature and pressure at a fixture to be unstable, but it should stabilize after a short time.
• There are some types of hot water taps that discharges large
volumes of hot water at first but stabilize after time.
• To keep the temperature stable, the heater limits the amount of water that can flow through it to a small amount initially, but the amount increases over time.

Quick Connect Multi System Installation
• The Quick Connect Multi System allows the installation of two units together utilizing only the Quick Connect Cord.
The Quick Connect Cord is 6 ft. long. Install the units 2-18" apart from each other to ensure the cord will be able to reach between the units. (See Typical Plumbing diagram). (If the distance between the two units is too great, not only will the cord not be able to reach, but the water temperature may also become unstable because of the difference in pipe length between the two units).

Before Installation
4.
Check the Gas
• Check that the rating plate indicates the correct type of gas. Check that the gas supply line is sized for 194,000 Btuh for this unit.
Check the Power
• The power supply required is 120V AC, at 60Hz. Using the incorrect voltage may result in fire or electric shock.
Do Not Use Equipment for Purposes Other Than Those Specified
• Do not use for other than increasing the temperature of the water supply, as unexpected accidents may occur as a result.
Check Water Supply Quality
• If the water supply is hard, acidic or otherwise impure, treat the water with approved methods in order to ensure full warranty coverage.
Use Extreme Caution if Using With a Solar Pre-Heater
• Using this unit with a solar pre-heater can lead to unpredictable output temperatures and
possibly scalding. If absolutely necessary, use mixing valves to ensure output temperatures do
not get to scalding levels. Do not use a solar pre-heater with the quick-connect multi-system.
Caution
Checkup
• Check the fixing brackets and vent pipe yearly for damage or wear. Replace if necessary.
Choosing Installation Site
5.
* Locate the appliance in an area where leakage from the unit or connections will not result in damage
to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.
Caution
• Install the water heater in a location where it is free from obstacles and stagnant air.
• Consult with the customer concerning the location of installation.
• Do not install the water heater near staircases or emergency exits.
• Avoid places where fires are common, such as those where gasoline, benzene and adhesives are handled, or places in which corrosive gases (ammonia, chlorine, sulfur, ethylene compounds, acids) are present. Using the incorrect voltage may result in fire or cracking.
39
• Install the exhaust vent so that there are no obstacles around the termination and so that exhaust can't accumulate. Do not enclose the termination with corrugated metal or other materials.
• Do not install the water heater where the exhaust will blow on outer walls or material not resistant to heat. Also consider the surrounding trees and animals.
The heat and moisture from the water heater may cause discol­oration of walls and resinous materials, or corrosion of aluminum materials.
• Do not locate the vent termination directed towards a window or any other structure which has glass or wired glass facing the termination.
• Avoid installation above gas ranges or stoves.
• Avoid installation between the kitchen fan and stove. If oily fumes or a large amount of steam are present in the installation location, take measures to prevent the fumes and steam from entering in the equipment.
• Avoid installation in places where dust or debris will accumulate.
Dust may block the air-supply opening, causing the perfor­mance of the device fan to drop and incomplete combustion to occur as a result.
• Install in a location where the exhaust gas flow will not be affected by fans or range hoods.
• Take care that noise and exhaust gas will not affect neighbors.
• Make sure that the location allows installation of the exhaust vent as specified.
• Avoid installation in places where special chemical agents (e.g., hair spray or spray detergent) are used.
Ignition failures and malfunction may occur as a result.
• For outdoor installation, use the VC4 outdoor vent cap. If it is necessary to vent above the roof line in an outdoor installation, also use the base of the VC4 vent cap for rain protection.
• Avoid installation where the unit will be exposed to excessive winds.
• Before installing, make sure that the vent termination (or the vent cap in an outdoor installation) will have the proper clearances according to the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1).

6. Installation Clearances

Caution
Before installing, check for the following:
Install in accordance with relevant building and mechanical codes, as well as any local, state or national regulations.
Item
• Maintain the following clearance from both combustible and non-combustible materials.
From Heater
Required Clearances
• If the unit will be installed in the vicinity of a
permanent kitchen range or stove that has the possibility of generating steam that contains fats or oils, use a dividing plate or other measure to ensure that the unit is not exposed to air containing such impurities.
* The dividing plate should be of noncombust-
ible material of a width greater than the water heater.

10. Water Piping
This appliance suitable for potable water and space heating applications. Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and replace any part of the control system and gas control which has been under water.
If the water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as one having a backflow preventer in the cold water supply line, means shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier or a local plumb­ing inspector on how to control this situation.
A pressure relief valve must be installed near the hot water outlet that is rated in accordance with and complying with either The Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, or The ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV ( Heating Boilers ). This pressure relief valve must be capable of an hourly Btu rated temperature steam discharge of 194,000 Btuh. Multiple valves may be used. The pressure relief capacity must not exceed 150 psig. No valve shall be placed between the relief valve and the water heater. The relief valve must be installed such that the discharge will be conducted to a suitable place for disposal when relief occurs. No reducing coupling or other restriction may be installed in the discharge line. The discharge line must be installed to allow complete drainage of both the valve and the line. If this unit is installed with a separate storage vessel, the separate vessel must have its own temperature and pressure relief valve. This valve must also comply with The Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22. (in the U.S. only). A temperature relief valve is not required, but if one is used, do not install the valve with the probe directly in the flow of water. This may cause unwarranted discharge of the valve.
Piping and components connected to the water heater shall be suitable for use with potable water. Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable water. A water heater used to supply potable water may not be connected to any heating system or components previously used with a nonpotable water heating appliance. When water is required in one part of the system at a higher temperature than in the rest of the system, means such as a mixing valve shall be installed to temper the water to reduce the scald hazard.
• Flush water through the pipe to clean out metal powder, sand and dirt before connecting it.
• Take appropriate heat insulation measures (e.g., wrapping with heat insulation materials, using electric heaters) according to the climate of the region to prevent the pipe from freezing.
Use a union coupling or flexible pipe for connecting the pipes to reduce the force applied to the piping.
• Do not use piping with a diameter smaller than the coupling.
• When feed water pressure is too high, insert a depressurizing valve, or take
• Avoid using joints as much as possible to keep the piping simple.
• Avoid piping in which an air holdup can occur.
• If installing the unit on a roof:
• About lower-level hot water supply If the unit is installed on a roof to supply water to the levels below, make sure that the water pressure supplied to the unit does not drop below 29 psi. It may be necessary to install a pump system to ensure that the water pressure is maintained at this level. Check the pressure before putting the unit into operation. Failure to supply the proper pressure to the unit may result in noisy operation, shorter lifetime of the unit, and may cause the unit to shut down frequently.
of the plumbing. Observe all applicable codes.
water hammer prevention measure.
Supply water piping
• Do not use PVC piping.
• Mount a check valve and a shut off valve (near the inlet).
• In order for the client to use the water heater comfortably, 98.1 to 491 kPa (14 to 70 PSI) of pressure is needed from the water supply. Be sure to check the water pressure. If the water pressure is low, the water heater cannot perform to its full capability, and may become a source of trouble for the client.
Drain piping
• Expansion water may drop from the pressure prevention device and wet the floor. If neces­sary, provide drain piping or use a drain hose to remove the water.
50
Hot water piping
• Do not use lead or PVC piping.
• The longer the piping, the greater the heat loss. Try to make the piping as short as possible.
• Use mixing valves with low water resistance. Use shower heads with low pressure loss.
• If necessary, use a pump or other means to en­sure that the supply water pressure to the inlet of the heater does not fall below 29 PSI when the maximum amount of water is being de­manded. Also install a pressure meter on the in­let. If this is not done, local boiling will occur in­side the water heater causing abnormal sounds and decreasing the durability of the heat ex­changer.

If the Priority lamp is flashing when an item number is displayed, this indicates an “ON” setting for that item number, and if the Priority lamp is off, the item number is off. *Do not change the other item numbers. This may cause a fault in the water heater.
5. After setting the 14 and 15 item numbers for the desired temperature, press and hold the up [ ] and down [ ] buttons together for five seconds to confirm the new settings. The remote control­ler will emit a tone when the settings are confirmed. If this is not done, the unit will not put the setting changes into effect. After confirming the setting, remove the remote controller to initiate the default temperature setting.
Note:The setting changes can be cancelled by pressing the Power On/Off button before confirming the
settings, or if the unit is left alone for ten minutes without confirming the settings. If the default setting needs to be changed again, disconnect the electrical power to the unit, reconnect it and follow this procedure again.

13.
• The venting system must be examined periodically by a qualified service technician to check for any leaks or corrosion.
• The burner flame must be checked periodically for a proper blue color and consistency.
• If the flame does not appear normal, the burner may need to be cleaned.
• If the burner needs to be cleaned, it must be performed by a qualified service technician.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• The pressure relief valve must be operated once a year to ensure that it is functioning properly and there is no obstruction. Turn the power off to the unit before opening the relief valve, and make sure that water draining out of the valve will not cause any damage.
• If the relief valve discharges periodically, it may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water system. Contact the water supplier or a local plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation. Do not plug the relief valve.
• See Operation Manual for further maintenance.
Warning:
14.
Maintenance
There is a scald potential if the output temperature is set too high. Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water. Periodically check and clean the filter inside the cold water inlet of the unit.
Trial Operation

The installer should test operate the unit, explain to the customer how to use the unit, and give the owner this manual before leaving the installation.
• Preparation ........... (1) Open a hot water fixture to confirm that water is available, and then close
the fixture.
(2) Open the gas supply valve. (3) Turn on the power supply. Using the remote controller, turn on the Power
On/Off button (the Operation lamp will turn on).
(1) Open a hot water fixture and confirm that the Burner On lamp comes on, and that hot water is
being produced. (If necessary, repeat until the air in the gas piping is bled out). * White smoke may be noticed from the exhaust vent during cold weather. However, this is not a
malfunction of the unit.
* If an “11” error code appears or a Burner On indicator flashes on the remote controller, turn the
unit off and then back on again, and then open a hot water fixture again.
(2) Change the temperature setting on the remote controller and check that the water temperature changes.
• If the water heater does not operate normally, refer to “Troubleshooting” in the Operation Manual. * After the trial operation, clean the filter in the cold water inlet.
<If installed with a quick connect multi-system>
• Turn the system power ON with the remote controller.
