Start Up

5

A

Slowly turn on water supply to the unit 
with the enclosure door open .

C

Turn off the connected process and 
check the entire system to verify leak-free 
installation . 

G

Turn on the connected process; observe 
output temperature rise to setpoint . 

NOTE: 

Top portion of temperature controller 
displays output temperature, bottom 
displays setpoint temperature (setpoint 
temp is not adjustable on SNA Models).

D

Close enclosure door and secure . 
Depress the Emergency Stop Button . 

E

Energize the electrical service to the unit 
by switching on the breaker . 

F

Pull out Emergency Stop Button .  
After a six second discharge from the 
TepidGuard overshoot purge system, the 
unit is now in the ready-state .

B

Slowly turn on the water outlet valve, 
activate the connected process requiring 
heated water (faucet, shower, etc .), then 
flush the system for 5 minutes to ensure all 
air is purged from the system . 

CAUTION! 

Failure to bleed air properly will damage 
elements and cause heater malfunction.

Be sure that plumbing and electrical are complete per Start Up Check List.

IMPORTANT!  If your heater is mounted in an area where freezing temperatures are possible, an ENHT 

Freeze Protection Option should be specified. Heaters must be powered at all times to be 
Freeze Protected. If continuous power is not possible, do not allow the heater to remain 
full of water. Freezing of the heater can cause serious damage.

IMPORTANT!  If your heater has the EXP2 option and is located in a Class I Division II area, please review 

Special Installation & Operation Instructions section for all proper electrical connections 
and sealing to ensure the installation will provide the proper protection.

WARNING!  Make sure the breaker for the heater is OFF.

H

When startup is complete, leave circuit 
breaker in the ON position and the 
Emergency Stop Button on the door 
pulled out . The Green power light should 
be illuminated .
