Electrical installation
The electrical installation should be carried out
by a qualified electrician in conformity with
prevailing regulations. The appliance should be
preceded by an omnipolar switch with at least
3 mm breaking gap.
Use the knock-outs on the back of the appliance
for installation of the external devices. Cable-
glands used must guarantee the protection class
requirements.
Overheating
Note! Opening the heater cover should only be
done by a qualified installer.
The heater is equipped with an overheat
protection with manual reset. If it is released due
to overheating, reset as follows:
• Disconnect the power supply with the omnipolar
switch.
• Investigate the matter and repair the fault.
• Reset cut-out by opening the lid and pressing
the red button until a click is heard.
• Put on the lid and make sure that the
screws are tightened to ensure full protection.
If the fault continues, please contact a qualified
technician.
Care and maintenance
Elektra C should only be switched off using
the output selector on the unit or the external
control panel ELSRT/ELSRT4. A heating element
is placed inside the junction box and prevents
dampness even when the appliance is switched
off. See wiring diagrams, component 7.
Note! Opening the heater cover should only be
done by a qualified installer. Always disconnect
the power supply before opening the cover or
doing any maintenance work.
The appliance should be cleaned regularly both
inside and outside, to prevent overheating and
risk of fire but also to guarantee long life of the
heater.
Note! To keep the protection class it is very
important to tighten the screws properly when
the lid is put back again after installation or
maintenance. When the screw has reached the
rubber gasket, continue another 2 1/2 turns.
