2.7 Function

How the water heater works:

• Water comes in through the cold water inlet.

• The flow switch senses how much water is passing through

the unit. If it detects more than the preset level, the unit’s

heatingelementsswitchon.Thisisshownbytheneonlight

glowing.

• The water is heated instantly as it passes through the

copper heat exchanger tube.

The temperature of the water coming out of the unit depends

on:

• The voltage of the electrical supply,

• The temperature of the incoming water supply,

• The setting of the power selector,

• The flow rate,

• The power rating of the unit.

• Dependingon theregionof thecountry,the temperatureof

the water supply can vary between 40 °F in winter to 70 °F

in summer, with an average of 50 °F.

Fig. 3

[A] Manual reset thermal cut out

The table below shows the rise in water temperature you can

expect from the unit:

Manual reset thermal cut-out

The unit has a thermal cut-out (Fig. 1 ) which is mounted on

the heat exchanger tube. This will switch off the heater

elements if the water temperature goes above 194 °F.

If the cut-out trips it will need to be reset manually inside the

unit. This cut-out will only operate in exceptional

circumstances (Fig. 3 ). Call your service person or Bosch

Water Heating if this happens frequently.

The heater is designed for cold water supply

only. Do not supply with pre-heated water.

NEC 422.31.).

• The power cable size and the installation must be in

accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code,

C22.1-02.

4 Installation

4.1 Important information

Please follow these instructions. Failure to follow instructions

may result in:

• Damage or injury.

• Improper installation/operation.

• Loss of warranty.

WARNING:

California Proposition 65 lists chemical

substances known to the state to cause

cancer, birth defects, death, serious illness

or other reproductive harm. This product

maycontainsuchsubstances,betheirorigin

from fuel combustion (gas, oil) or

components of the product itself.

DANGER: Risk of electric shock!

▶ For safety reasons, disconnect the

power supply to the heater before any

service or testing is performed.

WARNING:

▶ This heater must be electrically

grounded in accordance with the most

recent edition of the National Electrical

Code. NFPA 70. In Canada, all electrical

wiring to the heater must be in

accordance with local codes and the

Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1

Part 1.

DANGER:

▶ The installation must only be performed

bya qualified person in accordancewith

these instructions.

▶ Bosch Thermotechnology Corp. is not

responsible for improperly installed

appliances.

WARNING:

▶ The heater must only be wall mounted

and positioned with the water

connections located either at bottom or

the right side of the unit see Fig. 6.

Under no circumstances should the

heater be mounted differently.

4.1.1 Freeze prevention

Introduction

Please note that the installation manual states that the water

heater must not be installed in a location where it may be

exposed to freezing temperatures. If the heater must be left in

a space that is likely to experience freezing temperatures, all

water must be drained from the heater.

Freeze damage is not covered under the warranty.

Draining the heater

Due to the shape of the heat exchangers and connecting pipe,

it is extremely difficult to get all of the water out of the heater.

Follow the procedure below to best minimize the chance of

freezing:

▶ Disconnect electric supply.

▶ Disconnect cold and hot water pipes from fittings on

bottom of heater. Allow water to drain out (have a catch

basin ready).

▶ After allowing all water to drain out, the heater should be

blown out with low pressure compressed air to remove as

much water as possible from water heater modules. Bursts

of air work better than continuous flow.

Remember, these suggestions are only made to help minimize

the potential for freeze damage and are not to be construed as

the guaranteed method for dealing with freeze possibilities.

4.2 Installing the Tronic 3000C Pro

To operate correctly the unit needs the following running

pressures:

Sink

• Min: 10 psi (0,7 bar)

• Max: 150 psi (10,3 bar)

4.3 Water connections

▶ The unit should be connected directly to the main cold

water supply and not to pre- heated water. The unit should

beinstalledwithservice valves on both the inlet and outlet.

These valves can be used to turn off the water supply to the

unit if it needs servicing, or to reduce the water flow if it is

too high.

▶ We recommend that you use ½" copper or high pressure

flex connections.

▶ Use Teflon tape for sealing pipe threads. Do NOT use pipe

dope.

▶ Remember to keep the hot water pipe runs as short as

possible. In some cases it may be worth fitting a second

unit to serve an additional fixture.

▶ The inlet and outlet are clearly marked on the unit. They

each have a ½" NPT connector.

▶ If the unit is to supply a sink, we recommend that you use

aerators, which you can get from your local distributor/

dealer.

▶ If the unit is to supply more than one sink, the aerator

should be the same at each tap if they are to be used at the

same time. If not, one outlet will take all the water.

▶ After the unit has been plumbed in, and before you wire it,

flush it with water to remove any debris or loose particles.

Failure to do so may make the unit inoperable.

WARNING:

▶ ELECTRICITY IS EXTREMELY

DANGEROUS. TAKE EXTRA

PRECAUTIONS AND ENSURE ALL

CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE OFF BEFORE

PERFORMING ANY WORK TO THE

HEATER.

Useofagentslike anti-freeze are not allowed

as they may cause damage to the water

heater’s internal components.

WARNING:

▶ Do not install the Tronic 3000C Pro in a

room where there is a chance of

freezing.

NOTICE:

▶ Read entire instructions.

▶ Check the pressure of the main water

supply.

4.3.1 Water quality

Water quality can have an impact on appliance longevity and

may not be covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

▶ Forwater analysis data callyourlocal water department, or

if on a well, have well water analyzed periodically.

Ifwaterqualityexceedsone or more of the values specified

below, Bosch recommends consulting a local water

treatment professional for water softening/conditioning

options.

4.4 Electrical connections

Connecting the unit to power

▶ Strip back the insulation on the power wires about

3/8".Anyinsulation on the ground should be stripped back

about 3/4".

▶ Feed the cable through the cover bottom or backplate rear

entry grommets, as appropriate.

▶ Connect the cables to the terminal block and ground stud

(Fig. 4 ):
