Introduction The EcoSword water heater stores and heats water for sanitary purposes. Cold water enters the bottom of the tank through the water inlet (1). The heated water leaves the tank at the top through the hot water outlet (2). To operate the water heater, the display (3) and control switch (4) are used.
Safety Lochinvar cannot be held responsible for damages or injuries which can be lead back to: • Failure to follow the instructions provided in this manual. • Carelessness during use or maintenance of the water heater. Every user must study the user part of this manual and must follow the instructions in this part of the manual strictly.
Interface Operator interface The operator interface consists of: • a control switch (see 3.1.1) on the left side of the water heater • 5 push buttons (see 3.1.2) to navigate through the menu • a LCD-display (see 3.1.3) that shows settings, functions, values and errors. The operator interface is parameter driven and enables the user to change parameters and to verify the status and history of the water heater.

Note If the water heater is in OFF mode for more than 2 months and no water is drained, air bubbles may be formed in the water heater. This can lead to air in the water pipes. 4.3.2 Isolate from the mains To isolate the water heater from the mains: Set parameter 001 to OFF, refer to Set a parameter value (see 4.1).
Introduction About the water heater The EcoSword water heater is intended for heating water for sanitary purposes. The EcoSword is a condensing gas–fired storage water heater with a fan in the air intake. The flue gasses transfer their heat to the water through an efficient heat exchanger. The water heater has a concentric venting connector and can function as an open or as a room-sealed water heater.
Page 28
The gas control valve opens and the gas/air mixture is ignited. The water heater heats the water in the tank. The icon "Water heater in operation" is shown on the display of the water heater. When the water temperature reaches the setpoint, the heat demand ends and the controller stops the operating cycle.
Safety Safety instructions For safety instructions on the use of the water heater, refer to Safety (see 2) in the User part of this manual. Warning Installation, maintenance and service must be carried out by a qualified engineer in compliance with the general and local regulations imposed by the gas, water and power supply companies and the fire brigade.
Caution To prevent that you damage the components of the water heater, make sure that it is completely stopped operation before you turn off the water heater (see 4.3). Wait 1 minute after you switch the water heater to OFF mode, before you switch the control switch to 0.

Commissioning To commission the water heater: Fill the water heater (see 8.9.1) Check the air pressure differential (see 8.9.2) Check the gas supply pressure (see 8.9.3) Check the CO value (see 8.9.4) Turn on the water heater (see 8.9.5) 8.9.1 Filling Refer to the installation diagram (see 8.3) when you fill the water heater: Open the stop valve (11) in the hot water supply pipe.
Disconnect the pressure gauge. Reconnect the hoses of the air proving switch and the gas valve. Fig. Air pressure differential 8.9.3 Gas supply pressure Check the gas supply pressure: Loosen the sealing screw (4) of the test nipple by a few turns. Note Do not completely loosen the sealing screw, it can be difficult to retighten it.
Disconnect the pressure gauge. Tighten the sealing screw in the test nipple. Fig. Gas supply pressure 1. Adjuster screw 2. Gas control valve 3. Gas supply pipe 4. Sealing screw " 8.9.4 value Check the CO value: Open the gas supply. Remove the cap (1) from the test nipple (2) of the flue gas outlet pipe.
If necessary, use a hex driver to adjust the adjuster screw until the CO value is correct. Turn the screw clockwise for a higher CO value. Turn the screw anticlockwise for a lower CO value. If applicable, set the temperature value back to the original value (parameter 002). Set parameter 201 to dIS, refer to Settings (see 10).
Conversion of gas type Caution Conversion of the water heater may only be carried out by a qualified person. Use a special conversion kit to converse the water heater when: • The water heater has to operate on a different family of gases (liquid petroleum gas or natural gas).
