Application Specific Requirements The H Series can be used in many different applications that require custom tuning for specific applications to maximize performance of the heater.
Installation Mounting Heater WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE SHOCK. Disconnect power supply before performing any work inside the heater enclosure. Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or electrician. For best results, install heater as close as possible to the point of use. Long pipe runs are not recommended.
Installation Plumbing Installation Install shutoff valve above (upstream of) the heater inlet. Components Needed: Install one union on the water inlet side of the heater (2) Union 3/4" and another union upstream of the 100 Mesh (150 Shutoff Valve micron) y-strainer.

Installation Start Up Check List Plumbing System is set in a vertical, level, and upright position with the outlet located at the top. System is mounted to the wall using the (4) mounting brackets on the back of the enclosure or bolted to the floor with the optional leg kit.
If unit is ordered with the D1 option, the controller is shipped with this option Turn off the connected process and check the deactivated. Contact a Laars representative entire system to verify leak-free installation. to get the unlock code to activate the option.
Installation Digital Controller Operation The preprogrammed digital controller is mounted through the bezel on the enclosure door. The digital controller will be powered but the bottom display will read OFF until water is flowing through the heater. The bottom display will then display the setpoint temperature (see Digital Controller Operation section for more information).
Installation NEMA 4/4X Digital Controller Operation The preprogrammed digital controller is mounted through the bezel on the enclosure door. The digital controller will be powered but the bottom display will read OFF until water is flowing through the heater. The bottom display will then display the setpoint temperature (see Digital Controller Operation section for more information).
Installation Perform Operational Test No. 1 Ensure the enclosure door is closed prior to performing operation test. Press the up or down arrow keys to adjust the set Set the 3-pole switch or circuit breaker to the ON temperature. The controller displays the temperature position.
Output heating capacity is reduced if these heaters are installed on 415V, 400V, or 380V 3-ph. Contact a Laars representative to supply this information. Satisfactory performance of the heater is dependent upon a specific flow rate vs temperature rise capability . If the desired temperature is not achieved, please verify the following: Circuit breaker is on and rated for the maximum power draw .
Installation Maintenance Preventative maintenance is important for optimal performance of the heater . To ensure the heater works properly, always keep the inside of the enclosure dry . Moisture inside an enclosure increases the humidity, which condenses on cooler surfaces . This can cause electrical problems and reduce the efficiency of enclosure insulation. To prevent problems, perform the following: Verify the interior of the enclosure is dry .

Installation Troubleshooting for Controller Problem Solution No Power Verify power is on . Turn power off . Check continuity of all internal fuses in control transformer, heating elements or optional fused disconnect circuits . Check all field service circuit breakers or fuses . Check system temperature limit control to make sure it has not activated due to excessive heat exchanger temperature or faulty sensor .
All internal breakers must be in the ON position for the unit to work. For additional information on Troubleshooting or other information, contact Laars Technical Support. Please have Model No . and Serial No . available when seeking technical assistance . Serial No . tag is located in the enclosure on the upper left hand corner of the back plate .
