Introduction The SCC 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 operator interface (3) and control switch (4) are used.
Safety STATE cannot be held responsible for damages or injuries leading back to: • Failure to follow the instructions provided in this manual. • Carelessness during use or maintenance of the water heater. Every user has to study the user part of this manual and has to follow the instructions in this part of the manual strictly.
Interface Operator interface The operator interface consists of: • a control switch (see section 3.1.1) on the left side of the water heater • 5 push buttons (see section 3.1.2) to navigate through the menu • a LCD-display (see section 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.

Introduction About the water heater The SCC water heater is intended for heating water for sanitary purposes. The SCC 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 30
When the temperature is too low, the water heater starts a operating cycle: The controller detects a "heat demand". The icon "Heat demand present" is shown on the display of the water heater. The fan starts pre-purging. The air proving switch closes when the air pressure differential is sufficient. The hot surface igniter starts pre-ignition.
Safety Safety instructions For safety instructions about the use of the water heater, refer to Safety (see section 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 The anode protection remains active when the water heater is in OFF mode and the control switch is set to 0. 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.

Make sure that no water comes out of the expansion valve (15) or the T&P valve (3). If water comes out: Examine if the water supply pressure is greater than the specified value in the Technical details. If necessary, install a pressure reducing valve (1). Examine if the expansion valve in the protected cold supply set-up is installed correctly and is not defect.
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. Open the gas supply to vent the gas pipes through the test nipple. Connect a pressure gauge to the test nipple as soon as you smell gas.
