Pump Connection
The 710 can be used to control a recirculation pump.
Proper pump control helps to preserve the life of the system
and saves energy as well. The water heater pump control
port is a “normally-open” dry contact, and therefore needs
additional components to properly control a recirculation
pump. To control a recirculation pump, connect the pump
to the pump connector in the 710 as shown in the diagram
below. (In a multi-unit system, connect the pump ONLY to
the “PARENT” unit.) The pump is to be connected using
suitable relays shown in the diagram below. Please make
sure the relays are properly rated for the recirculation
pump.
Using the 710 internal thermistors as a temperature control,
the recirculation pump will only turn on when recirculation
is needed.
CAUTION
In a multi-unit system, the pump must be
connected to the "Pump terminal" in the
"PARENT" unit only. If the pump is con-
nected to any of the "CHILD" units, the
pump will not work.
Connect to this
“Pump” connector.
