5. Configurazione e installazione

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your Thermoflow water heater. It must be installed by a licensed professional.

Requisiti di installazione

• Posizione: Install the unit as close as possible to the point of use to minimize heat loss. It can be mounted vertically or upside down (under-sink or over-sink).
• Approvvigionamento idrico: Connect to a cold water supply. The unit has 1/2" NPT pipe fittings. Ensure water pressure is within 15-115 PSI.
• Fornitura elettrica: Requires a dedicated 240V, 30 Amp circuit. Must be hard-wired with 1 x 12 AWG wire. A 2-pole 30 AMP breaker is required (not included).
• Distanze: Ensure adequate space around the unit for ventilation and maintenance.

Fasi di installazione

1. Montaggio: Securely mount the unit to a wall using appropriate fasteners. The unit can be installed under a sink (water inlets pointing up) or over a sink (water inlets pointing down).

3. Collegamenti elettrici: Connect the unit to the dedicated 240V, 30 Amp circuit. Follow all local electrical codes. The unit has a 28" fixed power cable for hardwiring.
4. Aria di spurgo: Before turning on power, open the hot water faucet at the sink and allow water to flow through the unit for several minutes until all air is purged from the system. This prevents dry heating.
5. Accensione: Once air is purged, turn on the electrical breaker to power the unit.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

The Thermoflow Elex 5.5-Plus is designed for simple operation.

Avvio iniziale

• After installation and purging air, turn on the power. The LED display will illuminate.
• Open the hot water faucet. The unit will detect water flow and begin heating instantly.
• The display will show the real-time output water temperature.

Regolazione della temperatura

• Use the touch controls (arrows next to the display) to adjust the desired temperature.
• L'intervallo di temperatura va da 95°F a 122°F.
• The smart modulation system will automatically adjust power to maintain the set temperature, even with changes in flow rate.

Advanced Flow Control

Figure 6.1: Detail of the Advanced Flow Control mechanism, which can be adjusted to slightly reduce flow and maintain consistent temperature if hot water demand exceeds the unit's capacity.

The unit features an Advanced Flow Control mechanism. In situations where the demand for hot water might exceed the unit's capacity (e.g., very cold inlet water or high flow rate), you can slightly reduce the water flow at the faucet or adjust this control to help maintain a consistent output temperature.

7. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce la longevità e l'efficienza dello scaldabagno.

• Pulizia: Pulire l'esterno dell'unità con un panno morbido, damp panno. Non usare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
• Filtro di ingresso: Periodically check and clean the inlet water filter to prevent sediment buildup. Turn off power and water supply before accessing the filter.
• Scale Buildup: In areas with hard water, mineral scale can build up inside the unit. If you notice reduced flow or heating efficiency, consult a qualified plumber for descaling.
• winterization: If the unit is in an area prone to freezing and will not be used for an extended period, drain the unit completely to prevent damage from freezing.
