WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for the purpose of heating potable
water. Its use in an application other than this may shorten its life.
If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is necessary for the application or
business, then there should be back-up redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure
the continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater was to become inoperable for any reason.
We recommend you provide advice to the system owner about their needs and building back-up redundancy
into the hot water supply system.
Notes
•
If the water heater is installed without the external Energy Management Unit, then it will operate as a
conventional twin element electric water heater only. It will not be able to be part of an intelligent water
heating system or take advantage of excess solar PV power production.
•
If the water heater is installed on a property that has export limiting capability of the solar PV power
production, then it must be connected to a home energy management system (HEMS) for it to operate
using excess solar PV power production.
WATER HEATER LOCATION

Whether located outdoor or indoor, the water heater should be installed
close to the most frequently used outlet and its position chosen with
safety and service in mind.

heater must be accessible without the use of a ladder or scaffold. Make
sure the temperature pressure relief valve lever is accessible and the
controller module, front cover, thermostat, heating unit can be removed
