WATER SUPPLY
See "Table 1. Appliance Specifications" on page 18, for applicable water pressures. Approved pressure limiting
valves may be required if the 'Maximum' rated water supply pressures in Table 1 are exceeded. To achieve the
rated flow, the 'Minimum' water supply pressures in Table 1 must be supplied. The water heaters will operate at
lower pressures but will not achieve the rated flow.
Water chemistry and impurity limits are detailed in the separate Warranty booklet. Most metropolitan water supplies
fall within the requirements. If you are unsure about your local water quality, contact your water authority. If sludge
or foreign matter is present in the water supply, a suitable filter or strainer should be incorporated in the water
supply to the water heater.
HOT WATER DELIVERY TEMPERATURE
•
The delivery temperature set point programmed into
the electronic ignition and control module is 60°C. The
actual delivery temperature may be lower depending
on the prevailing operating conditions, for example, low
incoming cold water temperature and high water flow
rate.
•
Local regulations and/or the requirements of AS/NZS
3500 .4 must be considered regarding the
temperature limitations of hot water supplied to areas
used primarily for personal hygiene. The
temperature of water to these areas may be limited
to 50ºC or less. This can be achieved by the use of a
Temperature Limiting Device (TLD). Installation with a
TLD is to be in accordance with the diagram right.
APPLIANCE MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS
•
See "Table 1. Appliance Specifications" on page 18 for individual appliance weights. The wall or structure on
which the appliance is to be mounted must be capable of supporting these weights and that of the associated
pipe-work.
•
Ensure that suitable fixing screws or bolts are used to secure the unit to the wall; in accordance with AS/NZS
5601.Wooden Plugs MUST NOT be used.
•
The appliance can be mounted directly against a wall or structure, however it is MANDATORY that the provided
heat shield is fitted.
IMPORTANT
To meet the temperature hazard protection requirements of AS/NZS 5601, fitting of the provided
heat shield is MANDATORY .
Refer to "Appliance Mounting Method" on page 14 for instructions of how to mount both the
water heater and the provided heat shield.
