Page 18: Installation Recommendation
7.1 Installation recommendation • Use suitable sealants. • The boiler/buffer in which the heating rod is to be inserted must be drained. The Attach the heating rod with brass thread to the socket. Warning! The threaded sleeve must be shorter than the unheated zone (100mm) of the heating rod. - Page 19 • Screw the heating rod into the 1 ½" (6/4") socket. Warning! Do not screw in by turning the plastic housing! • Tighten the heating rod at the brass screw head SW60. Hint! The heating rod can be locked slightly after tightening so that the housing stands straight.
- Page 20 • Check the connection for leaks and fill the boiler/buffer. Warning! The heating element must be completely surrounded by water and must not be used in dry operation under any circumstances.

Page 21: Connection
8. Connection The screw-in heater can be operated in "stand-alone mode" or in combination with a SMARTFOX energy manager. Communication with the energy manager is via RS485 or 4-20mA interface. To use the full functionality of the SMARTFOX Pro Heater, communication via RS485 is recommended. The connection is made via the enclosed plugs. -

Page 23: Mains Plug Connection
If the heater is operated in "stand alone mode", this chapter can be skipped. For communication with a SMARTFOX Energy Manager, the heater can be connected via RS485 or 4-20mA signal. To use the full functionality of the SMARTFOX Pro Heater, communication via RS485 is recommended. If the interface is already occupied by another application or the energy manager does not have an RS485 interface (older models), the heating rod can be controlled via 4-20mA (see chapter 8.2.3 Connection diagram 4-20mA). -

Page 28: Settings On The Heating Rod
To set the heating rod to the desired operating mode or to adjust the bus parameters, 10 DIP switches are available on the heating rod. The heating element is pre-parameterised for SMARTFOX bus operation. If the heating element is controlled as the last bus participant or via 4-20mA, no settings are required. -
Page 29: Dip Switch 2 "Stand Alone" Operation
If the screw-in heater is operated without an energy manager, DIP switch 2 must be set to "ON". The "Stand-alone" operation is thus activated. All other DIP switches have no function in this position. DIP switch Stand alone operation active SMARTFOX bus operation (RS485 / 4-20mA) 9.1.3 DIP Switch 3-6 Modbus Address DIP switch... -
