Internal and external communications are covered by a separate
Element Communications
Manual for System Integrators
. Refer to that for connections to building automation systems
(BAS) or building management systems (BMS).
The Edge SC Controller contains a highly sensitive capacitive touchscreen. It continuously checks
for user interaction at a high frequency. Boiler room environments are often harsh,
electromagnetically noisy and dirty, and can experience wide temperature ranges, all of which can
damage sensitive electronic components.
Lync has taken precautions to ensure proper operation of your unit. The Edge SC Controller is
built with a high-quality glass screen for clarity and performance and has an optically bonded
overlay covering the front of the enclosure to prevent dirt and liquids from affecting its operation.
Installation consists of the following tasks, in summary:
1.
Unpack the Element unit from its shipping container (Section 3.3).
2.
Position, secure, and level the unit at the site. Ensure the base is level (Section 3.4).
3.
Verify condensate discharge piping is installed per local codes (Section 5)
4.
Connect and install gas supply (Section 6) and venting (Section 7)
5.
Connect the domestic hot water (DHW) supply piping and mixed (i.e. tempered) supply
from the unit.
6.
Connect DHW return and cold-water supply (CWS) piping.
7.
Flow water through the unit to remove any entrapped air.
8.
Connect external AC power to the rear of the Element enclosure.
9.
Commission the water heater (Section 8).
10. Connect Element to the internet via network connection.
11. Set up the EdgeSC Controller (Section 9)
12. Configure Element per system and site needs.
3.2 Receiving and Inspecting the Unit
Inspect the unit completely upon receipt from the freight carrier before signing the bill of lading.
Inspect the appliance and all accompanying parts for signs of impact or mishandling. Verify the
total number of pieces shown on packing slips with those actually received. Contact the freight
carrier immediately if any damage or shortage is detected.
Check the data decal on the appliance. Be sure the electrical, water and gas supply is adequate
for the installation.
Carefully remove all side and top shipping supports and bracing. If possible, do not remove the
wooden base/skid assembly until the product has been moved to its final location for installation
and operation (see: 2.3 Handling and Locating the Element).
3.3 Unpacking and Moving the Unit
Each Element unit is shipped as a single crated unit. The packaged shipping weight is
approximately 3,000 lbs (1,360 kg).
