HEATER WIRING

IF ANY OF THE ORIGINAL WIRE AS SUPPLIED WITH THE APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACED, IT MUST BE REPLACED WITH 105°C OR ITS EQUIVALENT, EXCEPT IN THE BURNER HOUSING. IN THIS CASE USE 200°C WIRE.

THE COMPUTER CONTROL REQUIRES A SOURCE OF STABLE CLEAN ELECTRICITY FOR PROPER OPERATION. INSTALLING THE HEATER ON A BRANCH CIRCUIT THAT HAS ELECTRONIC NOISE, IS SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATIONS IN VOLTAGE LEVEL OR HAS AN APPLIANCE WHICH GENERATES EMF OF RFI INTERFERENCE CAN CAUSE THE CONTROLLER TO MALFUNCTION. A HIGH QUALITY POWER CONDITIONER MUST BE INSTALLED IF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS EXIST. MALFUNCTIONS CAUSED BY

A POOR ELECTRICAL SUPPLY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER YOUR WARRANTY.

The controller is wired to the heater as shown in figures 15 & 16. The model and rating plate provides the electrical information needed to size the complete heater branch supply.

All electrical work must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 and local requirements.

When installed, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

DO NOT ENERGIZE THE BRANCH CIRCUIT BEFORE THE HEATER TANK IS FILLED WITH WATER.

NOTE: This controller is Polarity Sensitive. If the Hot and Neutral Supply Voltage is reversed, the controller will not sense flame. Verify polarity before connecting the unit.
