High 

Altitude 

Installations 

    

                       

Set dip switches 2 and 3 to the values shown in table 
below for your altitude.  The default setting for the 
appliance is 0-2000 ft (0-610 m) with switches No. 2 
and No. 3 in the OFF position. 

  

Connecting Multiple Water Heaters   

                       

The 2-Unit connection cable is an optional accessory 
that connects 2 water heaters and allows them to 
function as one hot water source.  

The Multi-Unit connection kit and Multi-Unit connection 
cables are optional accessories that connect 2 to 5 
water heaters and allow them to function as one hot 
water source. 

The Multi-Unit connection kit includes a PC board and 
one Multi-Unit connection cable. 

Refer to the instructions that come with the accessory 
for complete installation information. 

Number of Connected Water Heaters: 

Accessories Necessary: 

(1) 2-Unit connection cable 

or

 

(1) Multi-Unit connection kit  

(1) Multi-Unit connection kit 

and

 (1) Multi-Unit connection cable 

(1) Multi-Unit connection kit 

and 

(2) Multi-Unit connection cables 

(1) Multi-Unit connection kit 

and 

(3) Multi-Unit connection cables 

Guidelines 

• 

Do not install both the 2-Unit connection cable and 
the Multi-Unit connection kit because they are not 
designed to operate together. 

• 

Water heaters should be installed less than 18 
inches apart so that the cables will reach between 
units and to prevent temperature fluctuations (cold 
water sandwich effect) when the water is shut off 
and turned back on. 

• 

Temperature settings can only be changed on the 
controller for the primary unit. 

     

WARNING

 

DO NOT adjust the other dip 
switches unless specifically 
instructed to do so.
