COMMISSIONING 

28 

Notes: 

 

If the burners extinguish and error code 11 or 12 starts to flash on the LED display: 

 

release the MIN and adjuster buttons 

 

close the hot tap 

 

clear the error code (refer to 

“Clearing Error Code”

 on page 28) 

 

recommence the procedure from Step 8. 

 

If the adjuster button is released before Step 13, clear any error code (if displayed) and recommence the 
procedure from Step 8. 

 

Maximum test point gas pressure 

Refer to the rating label on the water heater for the maximum test point gas pressure. 
 
Follow Steps 8 to 14 of the 

“Minimum test point gas pressure”

 procedure on page 27, but open the hot tap 

fully and use the MAX button instead of the MIN button. It may be necessary to open two or three hot taps 
fully, depending upon the model of water heater and the incoming cold water temperature. 
 

Note: 

In Step 9, “3H” (027 models) will be shown on the LED display. 

 
After setting the minimum and maximum test point gas pressures: 

 

Close the hot tap. 

 

Remove the manometer and refit and tighten the test point screw and washer. 

 

Open a hot tap again so the burners ignite. 

 

Test for gas leaks. 

 

Close the hot tap. 

 

Switch off the electrical supply at the power outlet to the water heater 

 

Refit the front panel and screws to the water heater. 

 

Clearing Error Code 

If an error code does appear on the LED  display during the commissioning process, it will be necessary to 
clear the error in order to complete the installation. To clear an error code: 

 

switch off the electrical supply at the power outlet to the water heater 

 

check the gas isolation valve at the gas inlet to the water heater is fully open 

 

wait five (5) minutes 

 

switch on the electrical supply at the power outlet to the water heater 

 

PRESET OUTLET TEMPERATURE SETTING 

The  factory  preset  outlet  temperature  setting  of  the  in-series  gas  booster  is  60°C.  The  preset  outlet 
temperature setting can be adjusted (refer to 

“To Check or Adjust the Preset Outlet Temperature Setting”

 on 

page 29). 
 

Note:

 AS 3498 requires that a water heater provides the means to inhibit the growth of Legionella bacteria in 

potable water. When this water heater is used as an in-series booster for a solar water heater it can satisfy 
this AS 3498 requirement provided it is energised, the booster preset outlet temperature setting is 70°C or 
higher, and that a remote temperature controller is not used. 
 

Note:

 Consideration must be given to the delivery temperature to  any ablution and public areas such as a 

bathroom, ensuite  or public amenities. Refer to 

“Hot  Water Delivery”

  on  page 17 and to  the schematics of 

Two Temperature Zones Using A Temperature Limiting Device

 on page 18.
