WARNING:
Field wiring connections and electrical grounding must
comply with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, Canadian Electrical
Code, CAN/CSA C22.1, Part 1.
NOTICE:
The provided remote control will allow maximum
temperature settings of 120°F (49°C). Temperatures up to
140°F (60°C) for residential applications can be achieved
with the MAIN (UMC-117) remote control. Only qualified
service personnel should perform this adjustment.
• An optional cable (EZ Link
Cable
TM
) can be purchased
separately to manifold two water
heaters together.
• DO NOT attempt to disassemble a
remote control. All controls are
sealed and calibrated for accurate
water heater control and operation.
One remote control is provided with the water
heater. Additional remote controls may be
purchased separately. The available remote
controls are listed in the following chart. Up to
three remote controls can be used with the water
heater. No other manufacturer’s controls are
suitable for use with this water heater.
Review the following considerations before
determining the location of the remote control(s):
• DO NOT install any remote control
outdoors or where it can come in
contact with water.
•
Avoid installing the remote control in the
following areas and/or conditions:
– area exposed to heat.
– area exposed to steam.
– area exposed to oil.
– area exposed to direct sunlight.
– areas near stored or used
flammable products.
Place remote control out of children’s reach.
The remote control should be installed in a
convenient location (e.g., kitchen, laundry room,
utility room, or directly next to the water heater).
The maximum distance between the water heater
and the remote control installation location is
limited to 195 ft. (59 m) of wire.
