INSTALLATION

Installation Manual

The PrecisionTemp Model PT-200RC is as a recirculating gas booster heater
that incorporates a tank and pump. Because of the unique design it is a highly
reliable, efficient, and effective unit. The PT-200RC heats water as it is pumped
through, incoming water temperatures and water flows (pressure) are important.
The preferred method of installation is wall mounting using the PT-200 wall
mounting bracket. Wall mounting will alleviate most kitchen abuse and extend
the life of the booster. Contact your PrecisionTemp representative for wall
mounting information.

1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The PrecisionTemp Gas Booster Water Heater operates on 115v AC line voltage. All internal
electrical connections have been made at the factory. For units supplied with a three-pronged
115v AC plug, no other wiring is required. Plug into a GFI circuit rated at 15 amps. This appliance
is designed for indoor installation only. In installations where the booster heater is more than five
feet from the dishwasher, provisions of NFS Code #5 should be observed and circulation methods
employed.

Locating the Installation

The PrecisionTemp recirculating Gas Booster Water Heater is designed to boost the rinse
temperature in a commercial dishwasher from the available hot water, ranging from 110° F to
140° F (depending on flow rate), up to a 180° F sanitizing rinse. Health Codes, NSF Standard #5
and local plumbing codes require that the rinse water be 180° F at the rinse nozzle. For this
reason, the PrecisionTemp booster heater recirculation tank should be installed as close as
possible to the dishwasher (refer to PT200RC plumbing diagram). IMPORTANT - The booster
heater must be installed in a horizontal position (level booster by adjusting legs) with the inlet
connection at the lowest point.
The PrecisionTemp Gas Booster Heater must be installed in a well-ventilated area in
conformance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z 223.1. Proper clearances should be observed.
Always maintain at least 6 inches of space behind the unit and 10 inches on either side when
installing. The top is zero clearance. Sufficient clearance should be allowed in front of the unit to
remove the front cover for servicing.
Never remove the 6" legs from the bottom of the unit when making a floor installation. Provisions
for adequate combustion and ventilation air should be made following the provisions of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1, Part 7.
When installing the appliance on a carpeted floor, the appliance should be installed on a metal or
wood panel extending beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least 3 inches (76.2
mm) in any direction.
NEVER install the booster without a vent or not conforming to the National Flue Gas Code or local
codes. Never use the top of this unit as a shelf.
