ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – For
WARNING
your safety, turn off electrical power supply
before making any electrical connections
to avoid possible electric shock hazard.
Failure to do so can cause severe personal
injury or death.
Wiring must be N.E.C. Class 1.
NOTICE
If original wiring as supplied with the
water heater must be replaced, use only
type 105°C wire or equivalent.
The water heater must be electrically
grounded as required by National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest
edition.
Label all wires prior to disconnection
CAUTION
when servicing controls. Wiring errors can
cause improper and dangerous operation.

Low voltage connections

1. Route all low voltage wires through the knockouts in the
rear of the water heater, as shown in FIG. 7-1.
2. Connect low voltage wiring to low voltage connection
board as shown in FIG. 7-3 on page 44 of this manual and
the water heater wiring diagram.

Auxiliary device proving switch
1. When the operation of an external limit needs to be
verified before the water heater fires, remove the jumper
wire from terminals X & B and connect them to the
contacts on the external limit (FIG. 7-3).
Installation must comply with:
1. National Electrical Code and any other national, state,
provincial, or local codes, or regulations.
2. In Canada, CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, and
any local codes.

Power cord connection

This water heater is designed to operate with 120 VAC and 60
Hz power supply. If allowed by local codes, connect the power
cord provided with the heater to a GFI protected outlet on a
separate circuit and breaker (15 amp recommended). Ensure
the circuit cannot be interrupted by a switch used to control
lights or other appliances.
If local codes do not allow for the use of the power cord, remove
the cord from the junction box found on the side of the control
support bracket (FIG. 7-2) and attach conduit to the junction
box. Route the wires out of the appliance to a GFI protected
outlet on a separate circuit and breaker (15 amp recommended).

Runtime contacts

The electronic control closes a set of dry contacts whenever the
burner is running. This is typically used by Building Management
Systems to verify that the water heater is responding to a call for
heat.

Alarm contacts

The electronic control closes another set of contacts whenever
the water heater is locked out or the power is turned off.
This can be used to turn on an alarm, or signal a Building
Management System that the water heater is down. Note that
the alarm contacts will close momentarily after each call for
heat.

Use of an extension cord is NOT allowed. If
a suitable electrical outlet is not within reach

be replaced with hard conduit as described
above.
