III. Installation Electrical Wiring The standard digital glycol feeder controller has an internal regulated power supply that will operate in the range of approximately 100 to 250 VAC on the incoming wiring. Output relay(s) are protected with a replaceable fuse. Each relay’s output voltage will equal incoming line voltage. The Standard prewired units are supplied with a 8 foot, 16 AWG, 3 wire grounded, 120 VAC USA power cord for incoming power.

Start Up and Test Procedure / Recommendations 1. Before filling tank, be sure that the tank and the filter bowl are free of packing material and or construction debris. 2. Check plumbing as it may have become loose from vibrations during shipping. 3. Fill Tank 4. Open isolation valve to system. 5. If there are no leaks verify that the pressure gauge agrees with system pressure. This value may vary do to connection to Hydronic systems placement.

• If Yes, inspect end of level wand for debris or damage, replace if needed. (The float at bottom of the wand should have free movement, up and down. • If No, inspect wire for damage. If no damage visible inspect internal wiring. (See NO POWER TO UNIT, POWER PRESENT AT RECEPTACLE 1 thru 10 above) If no resolution is found, record Serial / Model numbers and call customer service LOW LEVEL ALARM STAYS ON Disconnect level wand connection and short across connectors with screw driver.
