- Wiring Connection: Connect the remote control's wiring to the designated terminals on your Noritz gas water heater, following the specific wiring diagram provided with your water heater unit. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarized.
Note: Incorrect wiring can damage the unit or the water heater. Consult a qualified technician if unsure. - Secure Mounting: Mount the remote control securely to the wall using appropriate screws and anchors.
- Power Restoration: Once installation is complete and all connections are verified, restore power to the gas water heater. The remote control display should illuminate.
