Aqua-Hot Reporter
Aqua-Hot Reporter
Boost Pumps
Boost pump functionality has changed with the
implementation of the Reporter 2.0.
On Reporter 1.0 units, any boost pumps at use within the
coach required a relay connected to wires 3b and 5b in order
to operate.
With Reporter 2.0, that relay can now be eliminated, with
boost pump power and functionality now being handled directly
by the Reporter. Using a flag-terminal, connect the boost pump
directly to the harness bearing in mind the requirements below.
• Zone 1: Connect to Wire 5b
Max Current Draw:
5.0A
Over-Current Condition:
8.0A
• Zone 2: Connect to Wire 3b
Max Current Draw:
3.0A
Over-Current Condition:
5.0A
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) will need to
provide the ground for operating boost pumps from the Reporter.
Electrical Specifications:
The Reporter contains a single Amphenol ATP family
connector that serves as the power connection to the coach
side 12V DC power system. Mating connection components
are not supplied by Aqua-Hot. Compatible part numbers and
manufacturers are supplied below. The Reporter must be
operated to the below listed specifications.
Minimum Voltage.....................................11.0V DC
Maximum Voltage....................................15.0 V DC
Minimum Current.....................................75mA
Maximum Current....................................15A
Please note that the minimum current rating is the minimum
requirement for what will operate the Reporter. Operating
at this current rating will not provide sufficient power to any
components dependent upon the Reporter.

Connection Terminal Information
Heat Testing:
The heat testing page of the Reporter will allow the electric
and burner heating sub-systems to be independently
activated for troubleshooting and testing purposes.
Fan Testing:
The fan testing section of the Reporter will allow the
heat exchanger fans within the coach to be activated
independently of the rest of the Aqua-Hot.
Pump Testing:
The pump testing page of the Reporter functions similarly to
the fan testing page in that, from this Reporter page, pumps
within the Aqua-Hot can be activated independently from
other elements for their functionality to be verified.

Heartbeat Function
Aqua-Hot Reporter units with at least firmware version 1v5
and all Reporter 2.0 units are equipped with a “heartbeat”
function which establishes a signal between the RV-C system
and the Reporter.
The Reporter 12V+/- wires are connected directly to the
coach battery. The Reporter has an RV-C incorporated house
power sense in the event RV-C connection is lost, i.e. house
batteries disconnected or RV-C network has failed.
The Reporter will be constantly awaiting a signal from the
RV-C network indicating to the Reporter that it is to continue
normal operation. Loss of 6 consecutive signals from the RV-C
network will trigger the Reporter to deactivate the Aqua-Hot.
This serves as a safety feature to ensure that the Aqua-Hot
does not continue to operate if the coach loses power. Once
power is restored to the coach and the Reporter unit, “BATTERY
DISCONNECT SWITCH OFF” will be displayed in the fault log,
indicating that the Reporter has lost connectivity with the RV-C
network, and subsequently deactivated.
Technical Information
Mounting:
The Aqua-Hot Reporter can be mounted in two different
fashions, either surface mount or recessed mount. Dimensional
specifications are shown below. When surface mounting, use a
#10 or larger screw. If recessed mounting, use a #6 screw.
There is a slot located at the bottom of the Reporter which
serves as access for the harness and power connections. Take
these into consideration when choosing the mounting location
for the Reporter. Circular dimensions are edge to center.
Aqua-Hot sheet metal cabinets have reference features
indented into them for mounting the Reporter to the Aqua-Hot
if desired.

NOTE:
For networked control of the Reporter, Aqua-
Hot requires system integrators ensure that individual
commands are received and processed. Aqua-Hot requires
that commands be repeated or confirmed so that if a
single message were dropped, or if there is a brief network
disturbance, the Reporter would get into the correct state as
soon as the disruption was removed.
The Aqua-Hot Reporter monitors the heating system and
handles all logic relating to safeties and heating control.
As such, the system integrator is required to display all
pertinent status information but not use that information to
lock out operation or add additional safety layers that could
impact the end of operation if a message from the Reporter
was missed.
