Please read all installation instructions completely before installing this product. x If you have any problems or questions regarding this equipment, consult with Takagi or its local representative. x The T H2 DV/T H2 OS Water Heater is an on demand, tankless water heater designed to efficiently supply endless hot water for your needs.
PRESSURE and ELECTRIC RATING. *If this unit does not match your requirements, do not install and consult with TAKAGI. If any problem should occur, turn off all hot water taps and turn off the gas. Then call a trained technician or the Gas Company or the manufacturer.
As with any water heating appliance, the potential for leakage at some time in the life of the product does exist. Takagi will not be responsible for any water damage that may occur. If you install a drain pan under the unit, ensure that it will not restrict the combustion air flow.
Installation GENERAL 1. Follow all local codes, or in the absence of local codes, follow the most recent edition of the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or CAN/CSA B149.1 Natural Gas, Propane Installation Code in Canada. 2.
Installation OPTIONAL ITEMS 1. TM RE30 Temperature Remote Controller The TM RE30 Temperature Remote Controller has two functions. It allows the output temperature from the T H2 DV/T H2 OS to be adjusted within the range of 100 °F to 185 °F, and it also works as a diagnostic tool that will give a concise error code whenever there is a problem with the unit.

The T H2 DV is a Category IV appliance and must be vented accordingly with any 4” vent approved for use with Category III/IV or Special BH type gas vent. TAKAGI recommends the “T Vent” line manufactured by TAKAGI (Refer to Takagi’s “T Vent” brochure for details). However, the following are also UL listed manufacturers: ProTech Systems Inc.
Installation Do not common vent this appliance with any other vented appliance (Do not terminate vent into a chimney. If the vent must go through the chimney, the vent must run all the way through the chimney with Category III / IV approved or Special BH vent pipe). The maximum length of exhaust vent piping must not exceed 50 ft.

Conversion of this unit from natural gas to propane or vise versa cannot be done in the field. Contact your local distributor to get the correct unit for your gas type. Conversion done by anyone other than the manufacturer or Takagi Service Representative will void all warranty. Takagi is not liable for any property and/or personal damage resulting from unauthorized conversions.

Installation Re open the manual gas valve. Check to see that there are no gas leaks. Open some of the fixtures that use the highest flow rate to turn on the T H2 DV/T H2 OS. Check the inlet gas pressure. When T H2 DV/T H2 OS is on maximum burn, the manometer should read from 5.0”...
Divide each appliance’s BTU requirement by 1000BTU to get the appliances Cubic Ft. requirement. T H2 DV/ Takagi into account the distance the appliance is from the gas T H2 OS meter, look in the above gas chart to properly size the line.
The T H2 DV/T H2 OS does not include a built in condensate neutralizer cartridge for reducing the pH level of condensate water. If local codes dictate that condensate must be neutralized prior to drainage, a condensate neutralizer must be installed. As an option, Takagi offers the TH NT01 Neutralizer assembly (sold separately).

1. Connect a 1/2” FPT X 3/8” (or 1/2”) HB Adaptor to the condensate drain port at the bottom of the T H2 DV/T H2 OS. 2. Connect a condensate drain tube to the 1/2” FPT X 3/8” (or 1/2”) HB Adaptor. TAKAGI recommends the material of the condensate tube be either EPDM or PVC.
Page 22
All preventative measures and safety practices must be adhered to when draining condensate. TAKAGI will not be responsible for any damage caused by condensate. A drain pan, or other means of protection against water damage, is required to be installed under the water heater in case of leaks.
Installation ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Follow the electrical code requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of such requirements, follow the latest edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 in the U.S. or the latest edition of WARNING CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, in Canada.
Installation TM RE30 REMOTE CONTROLLER CONNECTION Disconnect power supply from the T H2 DV/T H2 OS. Take off the T H2 DV/T H2 OS’s front cover. Locate the remote controller terminal, pictured below (located around the upper right hand side of the computer board).
Installation PUMP CONTROL CONNECTION The T H2 DV/T H2 OS can be used to control a recirculation pump. Proper pump control helps to preserve the life of the system and saves energy as well: The T H2 DV/T H2 OS pump control port is a “normally open dry contact”, and therefore needs additional components to properly control a recirculation pump.
Installation PUMP CONTROL MODES The T H2 DV/T H2 OS provides the four types of the pump control modes. The pump control modes are selected by changing dipswitch settings. The dipswitches that change the pump control modes are located in the right bank of dipswitches in the upper left quadrant of the computer board in the T H2 DV/T H2 OS.
Page 27
Installation D) Normal Control (Default setting): No.5 and No.6 OFF Feature: This mode provides no special pump control. Pump activation can only be turned ON or OFF by the TM RE30 remote controller. Function: The pump will run continually all the time as long as there is a power supply to the T H2 DV/T H2 OS.
4 units, only the first 4 units will work as a part of the Easy Link system. The other additional units will not work. x The T H2 DV/T H2 OS cannot be linked with other different Takagi models in an CAUTION Easy Link system.

TAKAGI will not be responsible for any damage to the heat exchanger as a result of freezing. x TAKAGI also highly recommends the use of a back flow vent damper to minimize the amount of cold air entering through the exhaust venting when the water heater is off.
Keep the area around the water heater clear. Remove any combustible materials, gasoline or any flammable vapors and liquids. TAKAGI recommends having the unit checked once a year or as necessary by a licensed technician. If repairs are needed, any repairs should be done by a licensed technician.
