OPERATION & SERVICE
Contactor Coil Voltage - At CCB
This test procedure will measure contactor coil voltage where it originates at the J4 wiring
terminals on the CCB. See page 42 for the CCB’s J4 wiring terminal location.
1 Ensure tank temperature is less than 100°F/38°C - dump water to lower tank temperature if necessary.
2 Adjust the temperature settings to ensure a call heat is active for all heating elements. Raise the Operating
Set Point in the Temperatures Menu to 140°F or higher. Set all Heating Element Bank Differentials in the
Temperatures Menu to 2°F - see pages 52 and 53.
3 Using an AC volt meter; set the volt meter to an AC voltage range just above 120 VAC.
4 Touch one of the two volt meter probes to the ground wire connection on the water heater. Touch the other
volt meter probe to the CCB’s J4 OUT 1 wiring terminal. See the images below. On water heaters
equipped with 6 or 9 heating elements also check between the ground connection and the CCB’s J4 OUT
2 wiring terminal and on water heaters equipped with 9 elements also check between ground and the
CCB’s J4 OUT 3 wiring terminal. Measure and record voltage readings taken in this Step.
Service Warning: Be extremely careful when performing this test procedure - there will be high voltage
present at many terminals and wiring connections in the surrounding area.
5 If the measured voltage(s) were approximately 120 volts the CCB circuit board is operating properly.
6 If the measured voltage(s) were zero or considerably less than 120 volts call the toll free Technical Support
phone number listed on the back cover of this manual for further assistance.
