CAUTION: READ ME FIRST
Check the unit for shipping damage. If there is any evidence of damage,
including damage to the exterior jacket, you should contact your freight
company immediately and file a claim. Do not install the boiler.
Proper selection of the right size TDE, or any heating device, requires an
accurate heat balance performed by a qualified heating professional.
Consult the supplier of the indirect hot water heater or Thermo-Dynamics
for detailed instructions related to indirect hot water heater applications.
Follow the indirect hot water heater installation and piping instructions to
ensure proper performance.
These instructions include options for installation, including system com-
ponents. Components are not provided, unless specifically noted other-
wise. Suggested installation schemes are for the brand names specified. If
another brand is used, see the manufacturer’s instructions for installation.
Installation of the Thermo-Dynamics TDE electric boiler requires an expe-
rienced and trained service person. The TDE is similar to an oil or gas fired
boiler in many ways. The differences are important. Follow the installation
instructions carefully to avoid problems. Contact Thermo-Dynamics if you
have any questions or concerns.
Wiring, piping and construction must meet all local, state and federal
codes that may apply. In the event that no local electrical codes apply, the
National Electrical Code should be followed.
