An open drain is recommended for best operation. If a closed return system is used, be sure return line is properly sized so that back pressure will not reduce water flow be- low recommendations. A sight flow indicator is recommended. ENTRON Controls, LLC. 700230D...
#1 and #5 for a complete description. Observe the WARNING, DANGER, and CAUTION labels affixed to control to maintain safe operation. ENTRON Controls, LLC. and its affiliates are not re- sponsible for any harm caused by non-compliance of instructions associated with the aforemen- tioned labels or signal words to follow.

3.1 Install and Setup For wall-mount dimensions, refer to the ENTRON Cabinet Guide (doc 780054) on our website. Ensure that all power is removed before connecting the control. Connect the chassis ground to an external earth ground. Connect L1, L2, and H1 as shown in the “CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS” section of the wiring diagram. An H1 connection will be required for each transformer in a multiple-control layout.
