This water heater is pre-installed with Smartec EcoNet Translator. Refer to
below instruction to setup the translator and WiFi module.
CAUTION: Disconnect power before working on the water heater.
Warning: WiFi module needs to be installed indoors.
STAND-ALONE OPERATION SETUP
1. If only one Gas Tankless Water Heater is connected to the EcoNet Bus,
you can now start using the SMARTEC EcoNet Translator to monitor and
control the water temperature of your Gas Tankless Water Heater through
the EcoNet App (see WiFi instructions). Remember to wait 60 seconds
before starting operation.
2. The user can enable/disable the water heater and set/view the water
outlet temperature using the Remote Control connected to the unit or
wirelessly through the EcoNet App.
MANIFOLD OPERATION SETUP
If more than one water heater is connected together in a Manifold
configuration continue with this section. Otherwise, skip to Alarms section.
1. Remove front cover from the water heater.
2. To allow the SMARTEC EcoNet Translator to control Gas Tankless Water
Heaters in a manifold configuration, each manifolded unit should be
connected to a SMARTEC EcoNet Translator.
3. Connect manifolded units serially using both/any of the Econet ports
located on the EcoNet Translator and the provided RJ25 cable.
4. Enter the setup menu by pressing the two buttons simultaneously located
on the SMARTEC EcoNet Translator for 5 seconds. If successful, you will
see a "1" instead of a "01" on the display.
5. Press the right button to change the number assigned to each water
heater. The number displayed will increase with each button press.
6. Each unit in the manifold should be numbered sequentially. This means
that if the user has 4 units connected in a manifold mode, then they
should be numbered 01, 02, 03 and 04. Maximum number of units
supported in manifold is 20.
To return to the main menu press the left button.
7. Connect the Remote Control included with the water heater only to
number 01 when in manifold configuration. The remote control connected

3 Recirculation Mode 0= OFF, 1=ON
The menu will exit after 10 seconds if no buttons are pressed. Changes
will be saved upon menu exit.

tells the manifold manager (number 01) how many heaters are connected
in the manifold system.
10. Pressing the right button when in menu item 2 will increase the number
of manifolded units the manager will detect.
Once all units on the manifold are numbered correctly, the configuration
