Important Service Reminder:
When performing any troubleshooting steps outlined in
this manual always consider the wiring and connectors
between components. Perform a close visual inspection
of all wiring and connectors to a given component before
replacement.
• Ensure the water heater's on/off switch is in the "on"
position and is working properly - replace switch if
defective.
• Ensure the circuit breaker supplying power to the
water heater is turned on.
• Check for any blown fuses in the power supply to the
water heater.
• Ensure the water heater is plugged in to a 120 VAC
wall outlet on models equipped with a standard
appliance cord.
• on installations using a 120 VAC wall outlet for
power, ensure there is 120 VAC at the wall outlet, see
Electrical Requirements on page 6.
• Ensure 120 VAC power is properly connected in the
junction box on the back of the water heater, see
Electrical Requirements on page 6.
• Check communication cable connections at uIM’s
J2 Socket (page uIM (user Interface Module) on
page 37) and the CCB’s J16 Socket (page 41). Secure
power and install a new comm cable (standard Cat 5
network cable).
• Closely inspect communication ports on CCB and
uIM for damage or wear.
• Ensure 120 VAC is supplied to CCB’s J3 Socket pins
1 & 3. Hot wire to pin 1, neutral wire to pin 3 (page 41).
• Check 120 VAC to transformer primary winding at
CCB’s J1 socket pins 1 & 3 (page 41) with J1 plug
removed, power on.
• Check J1 plug and J1 socket on the CCB for wear
or damage. Ensure plugs and sockets are mating
properly and providing good contact.
• Check for 24 VAC from transformer secondary
winding at CCB’s J1 socket pins 4 & 5 with J1 plug
inserted, power on. If 24 VAC is not present and the
two checks above were performed and the results
were successful - replace the transformer. Check
all wiring for shorts before powering up the new
transformer.
