Chromalox PN401 Electrical and Operational Checks, Installation of Remote Control Center

ELECTRICAL AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS

A.Having circuit breaker and power switch in “off” position, make sure proper voltage supplied matches voltage of control panel and elements.

B.Adjust controlling thermostat in terminal housing to a 50°F read- ing. Increase setting until thermostat switch just “clicks”. This setting is to be used for initial heater checkout.

C.Turn circuit breaker to “on” and note green power light coming on. Turn on power switch and note first amber light will come on, and then subsequent amber light(s) as explained in Section.

D.Observe control panel as heater goes through several heating cycles. A cycle is determined when all amber lights are off. Cycle interval can vary widely depending on amount of oil in tank. However, the thermostat has been set to keep the cycle time to a minimum.

E.Turn off circuit breaker and power switch, then re-set thermostat to desired setting for normal operation. The thermostat contains a factory adjusted stop which prevents settings above 150°F.

F.If low temperature alarm feature is provided, set this control 10° to 15°F below the control thermostat setting.

G.Installation of terminal housing lid and gasket (with proper gasket sealant) completes the check-out procedure.

H.If any difficulties are encountered during the installation and check-out, call your local Chromalox Representative or Chromalox Product Service.
