GENERAL Serial number Indicator light U.L. Rating label Model # = Order Ref. # Water outlet/inlet (Bottom) This is how your “EFC” model should look when mounted correctly on the wall. Refer to the U.L. rating label on the front cover of the unit to verify the unit is an “EFC”...
Flow rate (gpm) = v/t x 60 = 1 gal./87 sec. x 60 sec./1 min. = .69 gpm Open all water valves completely. If the indicator light still does not illuminate then proceed to STEP THREE. MODEL TYPE / ORDER REF. # MINIMUM FLOW RATE EFC-5500-4-S-10, EFC-6500-4-S-10 0.55 GPM EFC-7500-4-S-10, EFC-8000-5-S-10, EFC-8300-2-S-10 0.65 GPM...
STEP THREE: A multimeter / voltmeter is required to perform the following test. DANGER! TURN OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE NEXT TESTS. Set the meter to the single ohms setting Ω Do not measure continuity, this will not work. The Ohm Symbol (The upside down horseshoe) NOTE: BE SURE THE ELECTRICITY IS TURNED OFF TO THE UNIT...
