2.5.1 WHM Actuator-Controlled Ball Valve Installation
If the Innovation Water Heater was ordered for use with the Water Heater Management (WHM)
system and the actuator-controlled ball valve is not already installed on the unit, as shown in
Figure 2.5.1, it will be packed separately within the shipping container.
NOTE:
AERCO requires use of WHM sequencing valves in a multi-unit configuration. See Section
4.2.6:
Recommendations for WHM Operation
for more information.
If installation is required, proceed as follows:
WHM BALL VALVE INSTALLATION Instructions
3.
Remove the ball valve from its stowed location within the shipping container.
4.
Attached the valve to the cold-water inlet of the unit using the pipe union and nipple
provided.
5.
Ensure that the valve is positioned with the actuator enclosure position as shown in Figure
2.5.1.
6.
AERCO recommends that another pipe nipple and union be attached to the valve inlet prior
to connecting the cold-water supply piping.
7.
Tighten all pipe connections after the valve is properly positioned.
8.
Connect the 4-pin Molex connector on the valve to the mating connector on the Innovation
harness at the rear of the unit.
9.
This completes the actuator-controlled ball valve installation.
