12A Water Still
To operate the MEGA-PURE 12A Water Still, the customer must provide
a power source of single phase, 50/60 Hz. 60 amp, 208 - 240VAC.
Your water still is supplied with a power cord and plug. A certified
electrician should install a receptacle box within 5' of the still. The correct
receptacle to match the supplied plug is a Hubbel #9461C. Figure 1 shows
proper wiring for this receptacle. As an alternate method, your electrician
may remove the supplied plug and wire the cord to a 60A-250V breaker
box as shown in Figure 1-2.
Warning Do not connect unit to power source until instructed to do so.
Warning Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of correct voltage and
current handling capacity.
The Vycor immersion heaters will be labeled either 208V or 240V,
according to your order. The 240 volt heaters may be used at 208V, 220V,
230V, or 240V, but at the lower voltages, there will be some reduction in
the volume of distilled water produced. Exchange improperly ordered
heaters with your dealer. You cannot exchange heaters that have been used.
Caution Never use 208V heaters on voltage higher than 208 volts as
premature heater failure will occur.
