To determine the control board
version in the water heater:
B Reinstall the two electrical strip
connectors onto the PCB. The
larger connector connects to the
lower connection on the PCB.
Reseat the rubber seals for both
connectors.
B Turn power switch on the water
heater to the off position (O).
B When turning power switch to the
on position, note the first two letters
that appear on the display (should
be AF or SU).
B Replace the control unit auxiliary
cover. (Fig. 3, pos. 4).
B If the letters are AF, follow section
4.3.1. For SU, follow chapter 4.3.2.
B Replace front retaining bar using 5
Philips head screws. (Fig. 3, pos 1).

Troubleshooting
5.1 Replacing batteries
5.2 Cleaning
Use a damp cloth to clean parts of the
remote control. Do not use abrasive or
solvent-based detergents.
When batteries are weak, the symbol
(Fig. 2, pos. 5) will appear on the
display.
B Remove the two screws on the back
of the remote control.
5.3 Troubleshooting
1. No display on remote control

remove the batteries, then replace
with new AA LR6 1.5V batteries,
ensuring they are inserted correctly.

the remote (915 MHz) and causing
interference.

Troubleshooting
B Double check all wire connections
made under section 4.2 of the
remote control manual. Pay close
attention to the wire connecting the
remote's PCB to the heater's main
PCB.
Large amounts of metal
or concrete in the
i
structure may have a
blocking effect on the
remote's signal. This
may alter the maximum
distance allowable from
the water heater.
3. Remote display shows "- -" only
B Verify the water heater's ON/OFF
switch is turned to the ON (I)
position. If the water heater's display
is still blank, verify the heater is
plugged into a live 120VAC/ 60Htz
properly grounded outlet.
B Move within direct
line of sight of the
water heater to see if
signal will reconnect.
B Verify there is proper voltage to the
water heater (120VAC/60Htz).
4. Error code and “

” symbol
B Verify the remote is within the
maximum distance from the water
heater of 98 feet.
B Error codes cannot be reset by
using the remote. All errors must be
cleared by using the reset button
on the water heater's main
control panel
B Ensure that no other device in the
area, such as a cordless phone, is
operating on a frequency similar to
the remote (915 MHz) and causing
interference
• If an error code is generated immedi-
ately after the installation of the
remote control transceiver PCB,
ensure two large electrical connec-
tors (Fig. 4) on the main PCB are
properly seated.
• Error code may not be resettable.
Consult water heater's installation
further troubleshooting on error
codes.
