Electrical:

The DFSI water heater requires external electrical power to operate the DRV and the hot water, safety shutoff valve.

A licensed electrician, or electrical contractor, should run electrical current from a 120-240 VAC / 50-60 Hz / 1 Ph. power source to 

the DFSI control cabinet. An electrical schematic for a DFSI  control system w/ a single DRV mixing valve and a single HW shutoff 

valve appears in Figure 1 below.
