    Locating and Mounting Instructions: The Hubbell tankless booster heater can be installed just about anywhere. Due to the small size of the water heater, it can be mounted in many small spaces. However, there are some important guidelines to follow that will ensure that the installation is both safe and convenient in the event that future servicing is required.

    Plumbing Installation Instructions: IMPORTANT INFORMATION: • Ensure all fitting installations comply with local plumbing and building codes. • The booster heater does not require a temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve. A T&P relief valve may be installed if required by county, city or state plumbing code. •...

    SECTION IV – OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE First Use of your Hubbell Tankless Booster Heater: Once the water supply is on and air has been purged from the system, power the unit on at the main panel. The unit is now operating automatically. When water flows through the unit, the heating elements turn on to heat the water to the displayed setpoint temperature.
  • Page 24 Maintenance: • The Hubbell Tankless Booster Heater requires no maintenance other than to periodically check around the outside of the unit for leaks. If a water leak is detected from your water heater, turn off the water supply at the shut-off valve on the inlet side of the water heater, turn off the power to the heater at the main electrical panel and call a service technician or plumber for evaluation and repair.

  • Page 30 Initial Evaluation:...
  • Page 31 This troubleshooting section will cover all the points that need to be checked from an electrical standpoint to ensure that the Hubbell tankless booster heater is working correctly and to determine which component may need to be replaced.
  • Page 32 Primary Voltage Secondary Voltage (±5%) Note: The secondary voltage listed in the transformer is based on the transformer being used at full capacity. Because there is essentially “no load” on the transformer, the secondary voltage will be higher than the voltage listed on the transformer. This “regulation” varies from 8.4% to 12% depending on the primary voltage and the transformer used.
  • Page 33 8. If correct voltage is present, check the voltage at the right-hand side of the thermostat, then the left-hand side of the thermostat above and continue this pattern to the uppermost thermostat. 9. If at any point there is voltage on the left-hand side and there is no voltage on the right-hand side of the same thermostat, replace that hi-limit thermostat.
  • Page 34 6. Repeat the above step with the lower terminal block (inlet thermistor). 7. If either of these readings is not consistent with the chart (within ±10,000Ω), replace that thermistor. 8. If all ohms readings are acceptable, proceed to Check the Flow Meter. Check the Flow Meter: 1.
  • Page 35 YELLOW 10. Check the voltage between the terminal block where the first wire is connected from left to right and the metal heating chamber cover. A voltage reading in the appropriate range (one half of the incoming power voltage, i.e. if the incoming power is 480V, then the reading should be 240V) should be indicated.

    SECTION VI – SERVICING & REPLACEMENT OF PARTS WARNING: Serious bodily injury or death may occur if the following warnings are ignored. • This following portion of this section is intended for use by a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR PLUMBER. • All circuit breakers must be turned off at the main panel before the cover of the unit is removed.
  • Page 37 Inlet Thermistor: • Disconnect power. • Remove cover. • Disconnect inlet thermistor wires from the controller. • Cut the tie-wrap securing the inlet thermistor to the inlet pipe and remove the inlet thermistor. • Spread a pea sized amount of the conductive thermal paste included with the replacement kit on the inlet pipe where the replacement inlet thermistor is to be installed.
  • Page 38 Triac: • Disconnect power. • Remove cover. • Disconnect the wire from the heating element, the BLACK wire from the power distribution block or YELLOW magnetic contactor (as applicable), and the wire from the controller for the triac to be replaced. NOTE: Replacement triacs come with replacement wires attached.
  • Page 39 Magnetic Contactor: • Disconnect power. • Remove cover. • Mark the wires going to the magnetic contactor so they can be re-connected in the same places upon replacement. • Disconnect all the wires from the magnetic contactor. • Remove the two (2) screws securing the magnetic contactor to the base.
