Error Codes
All units have self-diagnostics. If there is a problem with the unit, a numerical error code will display on the temperature controller
of indoor models or on the TM-RE42 Remote Controller (if installed). Installation related problems may also produce an error code.
If the remote/temperature controllers are not working, the green LED on the computer board will flash a code pattern. (The green
LED is located beside the DIP switches as shown in Figure 3)

NOTE:
If you are working with a water heater that is part of an Easy-Link or multi-unit system, we recommend that you
troubleshoot the unit as an individual unit and not as part of the system. Follow these steps prior to troubleshooting
a child unit: 1. Shut off power to the heater. 2. Close the isolation valves to the heater. 3. Disconnect both linking
wires from the bottom of the heater. 4. If the unit is not an end unit, take the ends of both linking wires which you
unplugged and connect them together. One end is male and the other is female; they will connect together.
5. Turn power to the heater back on, then troubleshoot as necessary.
