SOLUTION
1. Find source of short. Trace heater circuit and verify the heater is wired properly.
2. Reduce wattage in circuit. Refer to circuit sizing table for maximum wattage
3. Verify the heater voltage matches the supply voltage.
1. Turn breaker on. Turn thermostat on. Check that the breaker is positioned properly on panel bus-bar. A 2-Pole breaker
must be connected to both bus-bars (A&B phase) to produce 240V power.
2. Tighten wire connections.
3. By-pass the limit to test. If heater works, replace the limit.
1. It is normal for the element to burn off some light fi nishing oil used in the manufacturing process when fi rst energized.
Open windows and allow room to vent until it stops, usually within a few minutes.
2. Remove any dust or dirt accumulation.
1. Sunlight or other heat sources can affect the thermostat. Move the thermostat to another location or remove the heat
source.
2. Remove cover and adjust calibration screw.
1. Replace with a better quality thermostat. Anticipated thermostats are fairly accurate; an electronic thermostat is the best.
