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 water and power supply companies and the fire brigade.
Caution The heater is intended to be connected to the water mains permanently. Do not use a hose set to connect the heater. Note Any leakage from the tank and/or connections can cause damage to the immediate environment or floors below the level of the boiler room. Install the water heater above a waste water drain or in a suitable metal leak tray.

Install the cold water connection: When the mains water supply pressure is too high, install a pressure reducing valve (1), refer to the Technical details (see A). Install a non-return valve (5). Install an expansion valve (15). Connect the overflow connection of the expansion valve, to an open waste water pipe. Install an expansion vessel (16).
8.5.1 Preparation Open the door of the water heater to make the electrical section and the terminal block visible. Warning Live cables inside! Switch off the power supply completely (on local isolator) before opening the outer door to access the electrical components. Fig.
8.5.2 Mains power Note The water heater is supplied without a power cable and isolator. Use a power cable with wires of a suitable diameter based on the cable length and the current. Note Select and install an overvoltage category III, all–pole isolator with a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
To use the alarm output: Connect a power supply (250V/10A max.) to one of the supply terminals (11 or 21). Connect the output terminal (NC: 12 or 22 and NO: 14 or 24) to your external device. 8.5.4 External ON/OFF The External ON/OFF contacts can be used to control the heater.
8.5.5 Finalization When all connections are made, close the door of the water heater.

Installation, Maintenance and Service part...
The water heater needs maintenance at least once a year. The maintenance interval is determined by the water quality, the average operation hours each day and the set water temperature. To determine the correct interval, Lochinvar recommends to do a system check three months after installation. Note Do maintenance to maintain an effective and efficient transfer of heat to the water.
Inspect the volume of the anode. When the anode is consumed for 60 % or more, replace the anode. Note If the anode needs to be replaced, always use an anode of the same type. Please refer to the type and the serial number on the data plate. Place the anode in the water heater.
Remove the lowest heating element: Loosen electrical wires earth (A) and live (L) on the element. Loosen the heating element. Take the heating element out of the water heater. Carefully store the heating element. Inspect the tank on limescale through the opening. When there is lime scale: Remove the following heating elements.
Replace the heating element when the resistance value is not correct. Decommision the water heater (see 8.7). Loosen electrical wires earth (A) and live (L) on the element. Loosen the heating element. Take the heating element out of the water heater. Place a new element in the tank.
Troubleshooting 11.1 Errors and warnings The water heater can have three different kinds of errors: • General errors, which are not displayed • Displayed errors (see 11.1.2), which are divided in two different groups: Lock out errors: when the cause is removed, you can reset the error to resume operation.
