GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND CONSTRUCTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION This book describes a packaged electric water heater that is a stationary, self-contained unit. The complete assembly consists of the storage tank, immersion electric heating element(s), thermostat(s), safety relief valve, safety high temperature cut out, and any other required electrical operating control.
CONTROL THERMOSTAT The water heater is supplied as standard with a surface mounted thermostatic switch that is installed and wired at the factory. As an option an immersion thermostat is available. See drawing for specific details. The surface mounted thermostat can be adjusted through a range of 110° - 170° F. The immersion thermostat can be adjusted through a range of 100°...

The tank is encapsulated in 2-inch thick polyurethane foam insulation. The insulation is protected by a high impact non-corroding colorized composite protective jacket. OPTIONS The following optional features may be included in your water heater. Reference included drawing specific to your heater for further details. Low Water Cut-Off Used as a safety device, the electronic low water cut-off is used to detect a low water situation and disengage the operating coils in the magnetic contactor(s).
If the heater is to be raised off the floor, the entire bottom of the heater should be supported by a solid surface. 2. The water heater should be protected from freezing and waterlines insulated to reduce energy and water waste.
Outlet to floor drain Manual Release Lever Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve 4. 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.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION The water heater is automatic in its operation. It will maintain a full tank of water at the temperature setting of the thermostat. The water heater should not be turned on without first making sure that the tank is full of water and that all air has been released.
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. e. Close drain valve. f. Open hot water valve. g. Turn power supply ON.
SECTION IV – Symptom No hot water Circuit breaker tripped at source. Reset circuit breaker. High limit switch tripped. Loose wires. Heating element inoperable. Low line voltage. Faulty thermostat. Faulty low water cut-off, if installed. Water temperature Faulty thermostat. below settings at all times Heating element not working on all phases...
