INSTALLING THE HEATER ON A BRANCH CIRCUIT THAT HAS
ELECTRONIC NOISE, IS SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATIONS IN
VOLTAGE LEVEL OR HAS AN APPLIANCE WHICH GENERATES
EMF OF RFI INTERFERENCE CAN CAUSE THE CONTROLLER
TO MALFUNCTION. A HIGH QUALITY POWER CONDITIONER
MUST BE INSTALLED IF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS EXIST.
MALFUNCTIONS CAUSED BY A POOR ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
ARE NOT COVERED UNDER YOUR WARRANTY.
The controller is wired to the heater as shown in figures 15 &

information needed to size the complete heater branch supply.
All electrical work must be installed in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1 and local requirements.
When installed, the appliance must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian

DO NOT ENERGIZE THE BRANCH CIRCUIT BEFORE THE
HEATER TANK IS FILLED WITH WATER.
