Installation Highlights

1

  This boiler has been sized and engineered  

for 240 volt, single-phase residential wiring.  

DO NOT

 use 208 volt. 

ONLY

 use copper wiring.

2

  WCS uses proprietary, plug-and-play controls 

including thermostats, Manifold Controllers and 
Smart Reset Controller. These items 

CANNOT

  

be exchanged with alternative products.

3

  All wiring and hook-ups 

MUST

 be installed by a 

licensed electrical or general contractor. Electrical 
work 

MUST

 be done in accordance with the 

National Electrical Code and local ordinances, 
regulations and codes.

4

  All devices communicate via a pre-configured, 

wireless network – there’s no need for additional 
wiring or knowledge of networking equipment.

5

  Adequate ventilation 

MUST

 be provided to 

ensure the ambient air temperature near the 
Warmsource-E does not exceed 90ºF (32ºC) 
during operation.

6

  Reference the Electro Boiler Manual for allowable 

mineral levels and water quality. Filtered water or  
a corrosion inhibitor may be required.

7

  Installation of a floor drain below the boiler is 

highly recommended.

8

  The Constant Pressure Circulation pump inside 

Warmsource-E adjusts flow rates depending on 
the needs of each zone.

9

  When plumbing for the system is complete,  

operate WCS in “Construction Mode” (pg. 8).  
This feature allows installers to test the boiler 
and flow rates, acclimate building products and 
provide heat on cold job sites.

10

 Disable Construction Mode before installing 

actuators, Manifold Controller(s) or thermostats.

Warmboard Comfort System (WCS) 

MUST

  

be installed by a licensed general contractor,  
heating professional or plumber. 

Failure to use 

a properly licensed installer, failure to use the 
required parts and components and/or any  
deviation from these installation guidelines will 
void any product warranty.

Review this guide and the supplied working 
drawings (including floor plan dimensions)  
before work begins.

Review this guide and the supplied working 
drawings (including the floor plan dimensions) 
before work begins.

DO NOT

 revise tubing loops or zones without 

consulting Warmboard. Field changes will impact 
operation of the system.
