GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND CONSTRUCTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION This booklet describes an electric heater designed specifically for use in deionized (DI) water applications. The complete assembly consists of a type 316L stainless steel storage tank, type 316L stainless steel immersion electric heating element(s), thermostat, safety relief valve, safety high temperature cut out, magnetic contactor(s), and any other required electrical operating control.
CONTROL THERMOSTAT The water heater is supplied with a single stage immersion thermostatic switch that is installed and wired at the factory. The thermostat can be adjusted through a range of 100° - 195° F, (an optional low range, 30° - 110°...

OUTER SHELL AND INSULATION The tank is encapsulated in 2-inches of high-density fiberglass insulation. The protective shell is constructed of galvaneel and is coated with a durable silver hammertone finish. OPTIONS The following optional features may be included in your water heater. Reference included drawing specific to your heater for further details.

Individually Fused Elements To prevent the possibility of damage to control circuits and other elements in case of electrical overloads, fuses may be supplied for each circuit. Two types of fuses may be used; a type NON for voltages less than 250-volt or type JJS for voltage less than 600-volt. Type JJS Type NON Digital Display...
DO NOT TURN ON THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY to this equipment until heater is completely filled with water and all air has been released. If the heater is NOT filled with water when the power is turned on, the heating elements will burn out. For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures, local codes require the installation of a temperature-and-pressure (T&P) relief valve certified by a nationally recognized laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment of materials, as meeting the...
Outlet to floor drain Manual Release Lever Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve 3. Install a relief valve overflow pipe to a nearby floor drain. CAUTION: No valve of any type should be installed between the relief valve and tank or in the drain line. FILLING THE HEATER 1.
THERMOSTAT SETTING (BULB AND CAPILLARY IMMERSION TYPE) The bulb and capillary type thermostat is immersed in a Type 316L stainless steel well in the storage vessel. The full thermostat range is 100-240°F, but should not be operated over 195°F. There is a setting screw, which can be locked at a particular setting to prevent an operator from turning the dial beyond a determined temperature point.
Visually inspect heating element gasket for evidence of leaks. d. Rub finger around gasket that is between the heating element and tank flange for any evidence of moisture. If moisture is present or a water drip is observed, follow procedure outlined in Section V.
Close valve on hot water outlet piping. c. Open valve on drain piping. d. Cold water inlet line pressure will be strong enough to flush sediment from the bottom of the tank out through the drain. Let water run for 3-4 minutes.
SECTION IV – Symptom No hot water TROUBLESHOOTING Probable Cause Circuit breaker tripped at source. Blown fuse in transformer, if installed. Circuit breaker at control cabinet tripped, if installed. Blown fuse in element fuse block, if installed. High limit switch tripped. Loose wires.
