preparInG for the InstallatIon

1. Read the “General Safety” section of this manual first and

then the entire manual carefully. If you don’t follow the safety

rules, the boiler may not operate safely. It could cause DEATH,

SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation,

and maintenance of the electric boiler. It also contains warnings

throughout the manual that you must read and be aware of.

All warnings and all instructions are essential to the proper

operation of the boiler and your safety. READ THE ENTIRE

MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL OR OPERATE

THE BOILER.

Detailed installation diagrams are in this manual. These

diagrams will serve to provide the installer with a reference

for the materials and method of piping suggested. IT

IS NECESSARY THAT ALL WATER PIPING AND THE

ELECTRICAL WIRING BE INSTALLED AND CONNECTED

AS SHOWN IN THE DIAGRAMS.

Particular attention should be given to the installation of

thermometers at the locations indicated in the diagrams as

these are necessary for checking the operation of the heater.

Be sure to turn off power when working on or near the electrical

system of the heater. Never touch electrical components

with wet hands or when standing in water. When replacing

fuses always use the correct size for the circuit. See page 12

through 14.

The principal components of the heater are identified on page 8.

The model and rating plate on page 9 interprets certain markings

into useful information. Both of these references should be used

to identify the heater, its components and optional equipment.

2. The installation must conform with these instructions and the

local code authority having jurisdiction and the requirements

of the power company. In the absence of code requirements,

follow NFPA-70 (current edition). The National Electrical Code

may be ordered from: National Fire Protection Association, 1

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

3. If after reading this manual you have any questions or do not

understand any portion of the instructions, call the toll free

number on the back cover for further assistance.

A sample rating plate and barcode tag are shown on page 9 of

this manual. In order to expedite your request, please have the

serial number and item ID from the barcode tag available for the

technician.

4. Carefully plan your intended placement of the boiler. Examine

the location to ensure the boiler complies with the “Locating the

New Boiler” section in this manual.

Installation and service of this boiler requires ability equivalent

to that of a licensed tradesman or qualified agency (page 2) in

the field involved. Plumbing and electrical work are required.

5. For installation in California this boiler must be braced or

anchored to avoid falling or moving during an earthquake. See

instructions for correct installation procedures. Instructions may

be obtained from California Office of the State Architect, 1102 Q

Street, Suite 5100, Sacramento, CA 95811.

6. Massachusetts Code requires this boiler to be installed in

accordance with Massachusetts 248-CMR 2.00: State Plumbing

Code and 248-CMR 5.00.
