INSTALLATION
Commissioning
A 3/4˝ Romex clamp (required, not supplied) should be in-
stalled in the opening located between the hot and cold water
connections. The wire should be fed through the Romex clamp.
The "live" wires must be connected to the slots on the terminal
block marked N and L (DHC-E 3/3.5-1 Trend only) or L and L (all
other versions). The ground wire must be connected to the slot
marked with the ground symbol. See section 17.2, "Wiring dia-
grams," pg. 23.

11.5 Electrical connection with short power cable
If the power cable is not quite long enough, you can install the wiring
block closer to the aperture in the water heater.
Reposition the wiring block from the top to the bottom. To do
so, unclip the wiring block by pushing it firmly to the left and
pulling it forwards.
Clip the wiring block in at the bottom by pushing it inwards
and to the left until it clicks into place.

Using the proper torque specifications to secure wire to the wiring
block helps to avoid personal loss or property damage.

12.1 Internal anti-scalding protection via jumper slot
For increased safety, the qualified contractor can set an internal an-
ti-scalding temperature limit via the "T
ing protection feature limits the maximum output temperature of
the water heater. This feature overrides the temperature adjust-
ment display on the front cover (both the temperature selection
and temperature limit via software functions). A user can still make
temperature adjustments below the anti-scalding limit using the
display, however, any temperature selected that is higher than the
T
limit set will be ignored, and the output temperature will be
max
limited to the T
value.
