GENERAL

The Eemax “Series twelve” water heater is specifically designed to take in
cold or pre-heated water and heat it to temperatures suitable for emergency equipment,
With a maximum output temperature of 90° which complies with ANZI Z358.1. 

To obtain optimum performance and energy savings, the unit should be located as near as possible
to the point of use. The unit must only be installed in a vertical position with the inlet
and outlet at the bottom. The power is activated by individual electronic flow switches located
in each of the twelve heating modules. These will be damaged by excessive heat, 

do not 

solder

any pipes that are in contact with the heater.

Also ensure pipes are clear of installation debris before fitting the heater, otherwise the flow 
switches could jam in the “on” position. The unit must be connected to its own individual electric 
circuit protected by a suitably rated three pole breaker. The maximum voltage which can be
applied across any heating module is 480 volts. 

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.

The unit is supplied with 1-1/4” NPT pipe connections  and a Y strainer for the inlet side.

Under no circumstances use a blow  torch on pipe which is connected to the heater (serious 
damage to the electronic flow  switch will result). Carefully use Teflon  tape, ensuring no 
debris enter the heater.  

Do not use pipe dope.

WARNING

Failure to ground the system may result in death or serious injury.
