Check the power source:

AC = 108 VAC Minimum, 132 VAC MAX

AB = 108 VAC Minimum, 132 VAC MAX

BC = <1 VAC Maximum

Making the Electrical Connections

Refer to Fig. 18-21.

1. Verify that circuit breaker is properly sized by

referring to heater rating plate. A dedicated circuit

breaker should be provided.

2. NOTE: Current draw noted on rating plate does

not include pump current.

3. Turn off all power to the heater. Verify that power

has been turned off by testing with a multi-meter

prior to working with any electrical connections or

components.

4. Observe proper wire colors while making electri-

cal connections. Many electronic controls are

polarity sensitive. Components damaged by im-

proper electrical installation are not covered by

warranty.

5. Provide overload protection and a disconnect

means for equipment serviceability as required by

local and state code.

6. Install heater controls, thermostats, or building

management systems in accordance with the

applicable manufacturers’ instructions.

7. Conduit should not be used as the earth ground.

Field-Connected Controllers

It is strongly recommended that all individually-pow-

ered control modules and the heater should be

supplied from the same power source.

Check the Power Source

NOTE: Field-supplied isolation relays should be

installed when field-connected controllers are

mounted more than 50 equivalent feet (18 AWG)

from heater. See wiring diagrams.

NOTE: Minimum 18 AWG, 105°C, stranded wire

must be used for all low voltage (less than 30 volts)

external connections to the unit. Solid conductors

should not be used because they can cause

excessive tension on contact points. Install conduit

as appropriate. All high voltage wires must be the

same size (105°C, stranded wire) as the ones on the

unit or larger.

WARNING: Using a multi-meter, check the

following voltages at the circuit breaker panel prior to

connecting any equipment. Make sure proper

polarity is followed and house ground is proven.
