1.2 Safety precautions

When using this electrical equipment, basic safety

precautions should always be followed, including the

following:

BREAD AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

BThis appliance must be grounded.

BDisconnect this product from the electrical supply

before cleaning, servicing or removing the cover.

BTo reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is

necessary when the product is used near children or

elderly persons.

BWarning: Mount the unit onto a flat section of wall,

well away from any potential splashes of water or

spray and away from areas where direct moist or wet

contact could occur.

BWarning: Indoor installation only, where it will NOT be

exposed to freezing.

BWarning: Do not install a check valve or any other type

of back flow preventer within ten feet of the cold

water inlet.

BThe electrical installation must conform to current

National Electrical Codes.

BWarning: Do not switch the heater on if you suspect

that it may be frozen. Wait until you are sure that it

has completely thawed out.

BThe Tronic 5000C Pro is designed to heat potable cold

water for domestic purposes. The heater is not

designed to accept inlet water temperatures above

86° F. Contact Bosch Thermotechnology Corp. before

specifying or installing the appliance in any other

application.

Warnings are indicated in the text by a

warning triangle and a gray background.

In case of danger due to electric shock, the

exclamation point on the warning triangle is

replaced with a lightning symbol.

Important information that presents no risk

to people or property is indicated with this

symbol. It is separated by horizontal lines

above and below the text.

BAdditional Canadian safety instructions:

–As per the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1-02

Section 26-744, an auxiliary terminal block must be

fitted to the unit before connecting to the electrical

supply (Kit Part N° “AE Canada Kit”).

(See Page 17).

–A green terminal (or a wire connector marked “G,”

“GR,” “GROUND” or “GROUNDING”) is provided

within the control. To reduce the risk of electrical

shock, connect this terminal or connector to the

grounding terminal of the electrical service of

supply panel with a continuous copper wire in

accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code,

Part I.

–This product shall be protected by a Class A ground

fault circuit interrupter.

BKeep this manual in a safe place once the unit has

been installed as it may be needed for future

reference.

2.8 Function

How the water heater works:

•The Tronic 5000C Pro heats water continuously as it

flows through the heater modules.

•The electronic control PCB monitors the flow rate and

the incoming water temperature and then switches

on the required number of heater elements to reach

the temperature set by the temperature adjustment

dial.

•As the flow rate or the incoming water temperature

changes, the electronic control adjusts the number of

heater elements used so that the outlet temperature

is maintained.

•The outlet water temperature can change slightly as

the flow rate changes due to the steps in power as

different heater elements are switched on and off.

•The outlet water temperature can also vary if the

maximum flow rate is exceeded (see Fig. 11) or if the

supply voltage changes.

•Each heater module is protected by an electro-

mechanical thermal cut-out. This cut-out will only trip

in exceptional circumstances.

Contact Technical Support 800-798-8161 for further

instruction.

•The WH17 unit is supplied from two independent

voltage supplies and the WH27 unit from three

independent voltage supplies. (In Canada the unit has

just one voltage supply).

•Depending on the region of the country, the

temperature of the water supply can vary between

40 °F in winter to 70 °F in summer, with an average of

55 °F. The output temperature and maximum flow of

the heater is dependent on inlet water temperature.
