WARNING

GENERAL SAFETY

The “Eemax Series Two” heater is specifically designed to take in cold water

and heat it to temperatures suitable for normal domestic usage up to a maximum of 140 F

(60 C). To obtain optimum performance and energy savings, the unit should be located as

near as possible to the point of use.

The unit is supplied with compression rings and nuts suitable for direct coupling

to standard 1/2” (5/8” outside diameter) copper or plastic piping. There is no need for additional

screwed fittings and under no circumstances use a blow torch on pipe while pipe is connected

to the heater (serious damage to the electronic flow switch will result).

Also, ensure that the pipes are clear of installation debris before fitting the heater.

THIS HEATER MUST HAVE TWO DEDICATED INDEPENDENT

CIRCUITS, USING CORRECTLY RATED WIRES AND CIRCUIT

BREAKERS.

WARNING

IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION, SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE

CAN CAUSE DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. REFER TO

THIS MANUAL FOR ASSISTANCE OR CONSULT THE LOCAL ELECTRIC UTILITY FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION.

FAILURE TO GROUND THE SYSTEM MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

WARNING

WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE VOLTAGE ONLY: THIS WATER HEATER IS

EQUIPPED FOR ONE VOLTAGE TYPE ONLY: CHECK THE RATING PLATE ON THE FRONT

COVER OF UNIT FOR THE CORRECT VOLTAGE. DO NOT USE THIS WATER HEATER WITH

ANY OTHER VOLTAGE OTHER THAN THE ONE SHOWN ON THE MODEL RATING PLATE.

I. MOUNTING THE UNIT

1) The unit should be mounted as close to the point of use as possible. For example, directly

beneath the sink is ideal.

Do not install the heater above a faucet or “point of use” because the siphoning effect may

drain the heater which can cause premature element burn out.

2) This unit must only be mounted in a vertical position with the water fittings located at the

bottom of the unit. Mounting other than in the vertical position WILL cause element burn

out and cause permanent damage to the water heater.

3) The cold water inlet is on the right hand side and the hot water outlet is on the left hand side.

Under NO circumstances can these be reversed.

4) Leave a minimum of 8” above the unit for easy replacement of the element.

5) The heater should be fixed to the wall using screws in the four mounting holes at each corner

of the backplate.

NOTE: The heater should be installed below the level of all hot water outlets serviced by this

heater.

NOTE: PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE RELIEF VALVE

These units are not required by UL to have a Pressure and Temperature Relief

Valve (PTRV). You should check with local codes to find out if one is required in your

area.

If local codes require the use of a temperature and pressure relief valve it should be

installed on the outlet hot water pipe before the outlet ball valve.

Cold

Installation directly beneath the

sink is ideal

II. PLUMBING HOOK-UP

1) The unit is supplied with compression fittings (Figure 3), USE THESE. DO NOT USE

TAPERED THREADED PIPE FITTINGS AND DO NOT SOLDER TO THE INLET OR

OUTLET. DO NOT USE ANY PIPE DOPE OR TEFLON TAPE WITH THESE

COMPRESSION FITTINGS.

2) Take care to ensure that the pipes are correctly aligned with the inlet and outlet bosses

in order to avoid excessive stress on the heater body molding.

NOTE: When soldering pipe joints remove heater from the wall. Serious damage can occur

if any soldering is done while pipes are connected to the heater.

Run water through the supply pipe to remove all debris from the pipe before connecting

the heater. Failure to do so could cause damage to the flow switch.

3) Install isolating valves (full flow ball valve type) on both inlet and outlet pipes. This allows unit

to be isolated for maintenance purposes. (Fig. 1)

4) When all plumbing is complete, fully check the system for water leaks at all the plumbing

connections. If a leak is present take corrective action. If the leak is at a compression fitting,

slowly tighten the compression nut until it stops. Ensure fittings are secure. Tighten 5/8’’

compression sleeve to 18 FT.LB.Fully open both inlet and outlet BALL VALVES.

Run all the hot water outlets fed by this heater one at a time, for a minute or two, until the water

flow is continuous, free from “gulping” and from all visible air pockets.

WARNING

BEFORE BEGINNING ANY WORK ON THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION,

BE SURE THE SWITCH AT MAIN BREAKER PANEL IS “OFF” TO AVOID

ANY DANGER OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

“Series-two” heaters are manufactured to the following specifications:

This unit must have its own independent circuits, using 2 SETS of UL listed 2 conductor and

ground core copper wire cable of the appropriate size protected by 2 separate and independent

correctly rated Double Pole breakers. (208, 220, 240 V, see Figures 4 and 5). For 277 Volt models

use correctly rated single pole breakers.

Wire entry into the unit must be made through the hole provided in the flange on the backplate.

The “live” wires should be connected to the slots in the terminal block marked L1 and L2. The

ground lead must be connected to the slot marked GND. (277 models have neutral “N” slots.)

GROUND MUST BE BROUGHT TO THE “GROUND” AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL.

DANGER

FAILURE TO GROUND THE SYSTEM MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

* Units rated fo 240 V can operate at 220 V or 208V with reduced output.

The output will vary in accordance with the following ratios:

IMPORTANT

BEFORE SWITCHING “ON” THE POWER AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL

MAKE SURE THAT THE HOT WATER CIRCUIT IS FREE OF AIR POCKETS OR ELSE

PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE ELEMENT WILL OCCUR. TO DO THIS OPEN ALL HOT

WATER OUTLETS ONE AT A TIME FOR A MINUTE OR TWO UNTIL THE WATER FLOW

IS CONTINUOUS AND FREE FROM “GULPING” AND FREE FROM VISIBLE AIR POCKETS.

1) Open fully both inlet and outlet valves at the heater.

2) Open any hot water outlet in the system. If the outlet is a “single lever” mixer type turn to the

hottest position. Run for one minute to clear all the air from the system.

3) Slowly close OUTLET ball valve until the water flow from the faucet just starts to reduce.

NOTE: This process has two effects. One, any air in the system will be purged out. Two, the

heater units will be pressurized at the supply pressure. This will prevent the elements burning

when energized.(Note: Keep water flowing whilst carrying out the procedures outlined below.)

GO TO APPROPRIATE SECTION FOR YOUR MODEL

NOTE: For the following sections the first unit is the right hand heating module and the second

unit is the left hand heating module.

IV COMMISSIONING YOUR HEATER

“T” MODELS

a) Switch on the power to the first unit. The power indicator light should illuminate.

b) Switch on the power to the second unit, again the power indicator light should illuminate.

Note: This light should pulse On and Off at first and after about 20- 30 seconds it should

stay fully on.

c) Use the OUTLET ball valve to gradually reduce the water flow until the power indicator light

on the second unit begins to pulsate. The water temperature should now be approximately

140 F.

d) The thermostat is now set and the water temperature will always be the same when the

indicator light is pulsing.

e) Increasing water flow (above the flow rate at which the thermostatic control is no longer

effective) will reduce the water temperature.

“P2” MODELS

a) Switch on the power to the first unit. The power indicator light should illuminate.

b) Switch on the power to the second unit, again the power indicator light should illuminate.

c) Temperature is controlled on this unit by controlling the amount of water flowing through it.

e.g. The higher the water flow rate the lower the water temperature and vice-versa.

“T2” MODELS

a) Switch on the power to the first unit, the power indicator light should illuminate.

Note: This light should pulse On and Off at first and after about 20- 30 seconds it should

stay fully on.

b) Switch on the power to the second unit, again the power indicator light should illuminate.

Note: This light should pulse On and Off at first and after about 20- 30 seconds it should

stay fully on.

c) Use the OUTLET ball valve to gradually reduce the water flow until the power indicator lights

on both units begin to pulsate. The water temperature should now be approximately

140 F.

For “T” and “T2” Models

If a lower temperature is required, turn the temperature adjustment screw(s) counter-clockwise

about 1/8 of a turn (See Figure 1). Wait 15-20 seconds and check the temperature at the fixture.

Repeat this process until the desired temperature has been achieved. (For T2 models try to adjust

both temperature adjustment screws by about the same amount so that the lights pulse at the same

rate.) If you have reduced the temperature considerably from the 140 F setting, you could now

open up the outlet ball valve slightly to achieve a higher rate of flow.

When the indicator light is on continuously, the unit is emitting full power. When it is pulsing, the

unit is modulating the power to achieve the temperature set by means of the temperature

adjustment screw.

ALL HEATERS

In order to obtain good control at “single lever” mixer type faucets (single spout) the cold water

supply to the faucet should be restricted to give approximately the same flow rate of cold water

to the faucet as the hot water coming from your Eemax heater. The simplest method of doing

this is by partially closing the cold water valve under the sink.

TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOM: NO HEAT INDICATOR LIGHT OFF

1) ELECTRIC SUPPLY IS OFF

Turn on the main circuit breaker.

2) NO OR LOW WATER FLOW

Ensure that the minimum flow rate to switch on your heater is met.

“T” Models minimum flow rate = 0.75 gallons per minute

“T2” Models minimum flow rate = 1.5 gallons per minute

Also check that the inlet filter screen is clear from any debris. This is

located in the brass inlet boss.

3) WATER CONNECTIONS ARE REVERSED

Cold water inlet = right side, hot water outlet = left side.

4) ELEMENT BURNED OUT

TURN OFF THE MAIN BREAKER!

Using an ohmmeter test the resistance of the heating element

across the two threaded termination rods on top of the element.

The resistance reading should be under 10 ohms.

If the resistance is much greater than this value, call Eemax for

a replacement element.

SYMPTOM: NO HEAT OR LOW TEMPERATURE WITH

INDICATOR LIGHT ON

1) WATER FLOW TOO HIGH

Reduce the water flow by using an outlet ball valve. See page 5

for temperature rise at various flow rates.

2) INCORRECT POWER SUPPLY

Make sure that the unit is connected to the voltage supply specified

on the rating label on the the front cover of the unit and no other.

3) ELEMENT BURNED OUT

TURN OFF THE MAIN BREAKER!

Repeat the steps from paragraph 4 above.

4)THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT SCREW NOT TURNED UP (Models “T” and “T2” only.)

Turn the thermostat adjustment screw clockwise in small

increments until the indicator light(s) remains on. Take care not to

force the screw past it’s stop position.
