Wiring Diagram

8.Connect the electrical supply to the water heater. NOTE: Remove the standard 1/2 inch knock-out (opening) in the junction box for conduit connections.

9.Connect ground wire to green ground wire in the electrical junction box of the water heater.

10.Reinstall the junction box cover.

11.Reattach the left touvered access panel to the water heater and secure it using the screws loosened earlier.

12.Turn on electrical power to the water heater.

13.Press the power button to turn the water heater on, then press the Efficiency button to set the operating mode. NOTE: The water heater wilt conduct a system diagnostic (approximately 8 minutes) prior to operation.

14.Once the diagnostic sequence has finished, the fan should turn on followed by the compressor. NOTE: The heat pump's fan wilt not turn on if the incoming water temperature is tess than 59 °F and/or the ambient air temperature is above 109 °F or below 45 °F. Should the internal diagnostics detect a problem with the heat pump, an error message will be displayed.

15.Set the operational mode. For typical installation, the Hybrid Mode offers the best combination of efficiency and hot water delivery. For detailed descriptions of all operational modes see "Adjusting the User Interface Module/Operational Modes" section.

•Before removing any access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the electrical

supply to the water heater is turned "OFF".

•Failure to do this could result in

death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.

1.Turn off power to the electrical wiring for the water heater at the circuit breaker/fuse box.

2.Locate the white 18 AWG wire loop behind the field wiring junction box. See Figure 15.

3.Cut the loop and strip insulation off of the two ends. See Figure 15.

4.Measure the distance from the field wiring junction box to the condensate pump, and cut two 18 AWG or larger wires to correct length and strip the insulation at both ends of each wire. See Figure 15.

5.Connect these two wires to the two wires on the water heater using wire nuts or other connectors.

6.Connect the free ends of the two wires to the shut off switch on the condensate pump in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

7.Turn on electrical power to the water heater.

8.Press the power button to turn the water heater on and select the desired operational mode. After about 8 minutes, the heat pump will turn on.

9.Test the operation of the shut off switch by unplugging the condensate pump and filling the condensate reservoir with water until the float switch opens the circuit.

10.The heat pump should turn off and the error code "HEAT PUMP FAULT" wilt appear on the user interface screen.

11.Plug the condensate pump in and verify that the pump operates and pumps the water out of the condensate reservoir.

12.The error on the user interface should clear and the heat pump should operate after 8 minutes.
