To put the water heater back into operation, press the Power On/Off Button on the remote controller. To keep the water heater off, let the unit sit for 30 sec. to return to the original display. • This unit can be programmed so that it will default to one of three temperatures if the remote controller is removed [140 °F (60 °C), 130 °F (54 °C), 125 °F (52 °C)]. To change the default temperature, adjust the dip switches as described below. The default temperature is 120 °F (50 °C). - Page 24 Connecting Remote Controller Cord to Unit • Keep the remote controller cord away from the freeze prevention heaters in the unit. • Tie the redundant cord outside the water heater. Do not put the extra length inside the equipment. • The remote controller cord can be extended up to 300' (90m) with 18AWG wire. • Use a Y type terminal with a resin sleeve. (Without the sleeve, the copper wire may corrode and cause problems). • Be sure to hand tighten when screwing to the terminal block. Power tools may cause damage to the terminal block. Remote controller cord • For extensions, a 26' (8m) cord can be purchased (Part # RC-CORD26) or use 18AWG wire. • Install according to the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes. 1.
