Electrical Connections - iHeat Roof Mount Solar Hot Water Systems Installation Manual

SECTION 3
Local codes including but not limited to AS/NZS 3000:2007 must be adhered to for all electrical work
and be undertaken by a licenced electrician. The electric element has a capacity of 2.4kW, paired with
a thermostat to control the water temperature of the tank. When the water temperature in the tank
reaches the normal setting 60°C, the thermostat will automatically disconnect & prevent overheating.
The thermostat has a unique internal fuse protection that is designed especially for Solar Hot Water
systems. The internal fuse is extra protection against any electrical malfunction & if the fuse activates,
the thermostat will need to be replaced. The Solar Thermostat has an auto-reset-over-temperature
cut-out for high solar contribution days & will automatically self-reset once the temperature drops
below the maximum setting of 70°C.
The iHeat storage tank has a dedicated port for entry into the electrical provision, this is clearly
marked by the supplied sticker on the external casing.
