Location

Outdoor models are supplied with one remote control unit. Additional controllers can also be installed.

The controller should be out of reach of small children.

Avoid locations where the controller may become hot (near the oven or radiant heater).

Avoid locations in direct sunlight. The digital display may be difficult to read in direct sunlight.

Avoid locations where the temperature controller could be splashed with liquids.

Do not install in locations where it can be adjusted by the public.

Configurations

A maximum of 4 temperature controllers can be installed for a water heater or bank of water heaters.

Controllers can only be wired in parallel. Controllers cannot be wired in series.

If 4 temperature controllers are installed, simultaneously press the Priority and On/Off buttons on the fourth controller until a beep sounds.

Do not attempt to connect the temperature controllers with the power on. There is 120 volt potential, next to the temperature controller connections inside the unit.

Do not connect the temperature controller to the 120VAC terminals provided for the optional solenoid drain valves.

All service and wiring should be performed by a registered installer.

Follow the procedure below to install additional controllers.

1.Determine a suitable location for the controller.

2.Make three holes in the wall as shown.

3.Run the cable between the controller and the water heater or the controller and the other controller.

4.Remove the face plate from the temperature controller using a screwdriver.

5.Connect the cable to the temperature controller.

6.Mount the controller to the wall using the holes drilled in step 2.

7.Disconnect the power from the water heater.

8.Remove the cover of the water heater.

9.Remove the plastic cover from the PCB and electrical connections.

10.Thread the cable through the access hole at the base of the unit and connect the wires to the controller terminals on the right hand side bottom of the PCB.
