INTRODUCTION
This manual provides information necessary
for the installation, operation, and maintenance
of the Model T-M1 water heater. This unit
includes a fan enabling sidewall (power)
venting and an advanced electronic ignition
system.
The model description is listed on the rating
plate which is attached to the front cover of the
water heater. Please read all installation
instructions completely before installing this
product. If you have any problems or
questions regarding this equipment, consult
with Takagi or its local representative.
Experiences have shown that most operating
problems are caused by improper installation.
The T-M1 Water Heater is an instantaneous,
tankless water heater designed to supply
endless hot water to your entire household
and/or commercial facility utilizing total
efficiency. The principle behind the T-M1
Water Heater is simple. Once you open a hot
water tap, water flows through the T-M1 Water
heater. Once a minimum of 0.75 GPM is
achieved, the flow sensor automatically
commands the computer to turn on the fan,
activate the electronic igniter and open the gas
valves. The computer monitors water
temperature, water flow rate and gas flow to
ensure that you get the right amount of hot
water at the correct hot water temperature.
After the burners are ignited, the “fire on” lamp
is lit. The computer will modulate the gas
supply valve and water flow. 0.75 gallons per
minute is required to turn the burners on; after
the burners are ignited, the flow rate can be
lowered to 0.6 gallons per minute to maintain
the heater on. It is advisable to open further
the cold tap rather than decreasing the hot tap
to adjust the water temperature. As long as
you have water, gas and electricity, you will get
an endless flow of hot water. Open a hot water
tap to turn on your water heater. Close the tap
to turn off your water heater.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY
AND FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS.
1. Follow all local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, follow the most recent edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the USA or the
CAN/CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code in Canada.
2. Properly ground the unit in accordance with
all local codes or in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Codes,
ANSI/NFPA 70 in the USA or CSA
standard C22.1 Canada Electrical Code
Part 1 in Canada.
3. Carefully plan where you intend to install
your T-M1 Water Heater. Ensure that your
heater will have enough combustible air
and proper ventilation and locate your
heater where water leakage will not do
damage to surrounding areas. If there is a
possibility of water damage, install a
suitable drain pan under the unit which will
not restrict combustible airflow.
4.
Check the rating plate for the correct gas
type, gas pressure, water pressure and
electrical rating. If this unit does not match
your requirements, do not install.
