Safety, Installation and Warranty Requirements

Please ensure that these instructions are read and understood before commencing installation. Failure to comply with the instructions listed below and details printed in this manual can cause product/property damage, severe personal injury, and/or loss of life. Ensure all requirements below are understood and fulfilled (including detailed information found in manual subsections).

Product documentation
Read all applicable documentation before commencing installation. Store documentation near boiler in a readily accessible location for reference in the future by service personnel.

  • For a listing of applicable literature, please see section entitled “Important Regulatory and Safety Requirements”.

Licensed professional heating contractor
The installation, adjustment, service and maintenance of this equipment must be performed by a licensed professional heating contractor.

  • Please see section entitled Safety and “Important Regulatory and Installation Requirements”.

Advice to owner
Once the installation work is complete, the heating contractor must familiarize the system operator/ ultimate owner with all equipment, as well as safety precautions/requirements, shutdown procedure, and the need for professional service annually before the heating season begins.

Warranty
Information contained in this and related product documentation must be read and followed. Failure to do so renders the warranty null and void.

Important Regulatory and Installation Requirements

Approvals
Viessmann boilers, burners and controls are approved for sale in North America by CSA International.

Codes
The installation of this unit shall be in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use:

  • CSA C22.1 Part 1 and/or local codes in Canada
  • National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 in the U.S.

Always use latest editions of codes. The heating contractor must comply with the Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1 where required by the authority having jurisdiction.

Working on the equipment
The installation, adjustment, service, and maintenance of this product must be done by a licensed professional heating contractor who is qualified and experienced in the installation, service and maintenance of hot water boilers. There are no user-serviceable parts on the boiler, burner, or control.

Power supply
Install power supply in accordance with the regulations of the authorities having jurisdiction or, in absence of such requirements, in accordance with National Codes. Viessmann recommends the installation of a disconnect switch to the 120V power supply outside of the boiler room. Ensure main power supply to equipment, the heating system, and all external controls have been deactivated. Close main oil or gas supply valve. Take precautions in both instances to avoid accidental activation of power during service work.

  • Please carefully read this manual prior to attempting installation. Any warranty is null and void if these instructions are not followed. For information regarding other Viessmann System Technology componentry, please reference documentation of the respective product. We offer frequent installation and service seminars to familiarize our partners with our products. Please inquire.
  • The completeness and functionality of field supplied electrical controls and components must be verified by the heating contractor. These include low water cut-offs, flow switches (if used), staging controls, pumps, motorized valves, air vents, thermostats, etc.

WARNING

Turn off electric power supply before servicing. Contact with live electric components can cause shock or loss of life.

Electrical Connections

CAUTION

The electronic modules are static sensitive. To avoid damage caused by static discharge, follow Electro-Static Discharge safety procedures.

  • Apply strain relief to on-site cables.
  • Seal any unnecessary apertures with cable grommets (not cut open).

WARNING
Incorrect wiring can lead to serious injury from electrical current and result in appliance damage. Take the following measures to prevent wires drifting into the adjacent voltage area:

  • Route low voltage leads away from 120V or other high voltage cables.
  • Secure with cable ties.
  • Strip as little of the insulation as possible, directly before the terminals. Bundle the cables close to the corresponding terminals.
  • If 2 components are connected to the same terminal, press both wires together in a single wire ferrule.

WARNING

  • Incorrectly executed electrical installations can result in injuries from electrical current and in equipment damage.

Connect the power supply (see page 4) and implement all grounding measures (e.g. RCD circuit) in accordance with the following regulations:

  • In Canada all electrical wiring is to be done in accordance with the latest edition of CSA C22.1 Part 1 and/or local codes. In the U.S. use the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70. The heating contractor must also comply with both the Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1, and the Installation Code for Hydronic Heating Systems, CSA B214-01, where required by the authority having jurisdiction.
  • Connection requirements specified by your local power supply utility
  • Protect the power cable with max. 15A

WARNING

  • The absence of component grounding in the system can lead to serious injury from electrical current if an electrical fault occurs. Connect the appliance and pipework to the equipotential bonding of the building in question.
  • Incorrect core allocation can result in serious injury and damage to the appliance. Never interchange cores “L” and “N”.
  • An incorrect phase sequence can cause damage to the appliance. Check for phase equality with the power supply connection of the control unit.

Rotary Switch S1 for Subscriber Number Addressing

Set rotary switch S1 to a consecutive numbers as shown in the example below:

  • 1st EM-EA1 extension: Rotary switch to 1
  • 2nd EM-EA1 extension: Rotary switch to 2
  • 3rd EM-EA1 extension: Rotary switch to 3

Note: These settings are independent of the settings made at other extensions, such as EM-M1 (mixeing module). If an EM-EA1 extension (DIO electronics module) has the setting 1, an EM-M1 or EM-P1 extension (ADIO electronics module) can also have the setting 1.
