2.1 INTRODUCTION

installation. Therefore, installation will consist of the following tasks:
•
Unpack the SmartPlate EV Water Heater from its shipping container.
•
Position and secure the unit at the site.
•
Install the Pressure Relief Valve.
•
On units installed in New York City, install a second Relief Valve on the boiler water intake
piping.

•
Connect the domestic hot water (DHW) piping to the unit.
•
Connect external AC power to the ECS II Control Box.
•
If desired, connect Modbus control wiring to the Temperature Controller in the ECS II

2.2 RECEIVING AND UNPACKING
Each SmartPlate EV Water Heater is shipped as a single crated unit. The packaged shipping
weight will vary from approximately
500
to
760
pounds, depending on the model ordered.
The unit must be moved with the proper equipment (forklift, pallet jack, etc.) to avoid possible
injury to personnel or damage to the shipping container or unit. The shipping carton should be
inspected for damage incurred during transit prior to signing the bill of lading.
NOTE:
AERCO is not responsible for lost or damaged freight. The freight carrier must be notified
immediately of any damage detected.
Unpack the SmartPlate EV Water Heater from its shipping container taking care not to damage
the unit when cutting away the packaging material.
Remove the package containing the Relief Valve and associated piping.
Remove the bolts securing the unit to its shipping skid and then lift it off the skid and position it
in place. Perform a complete visual inspection of the unit to ensure there is no evidence of
damage.
