Low Tank-Level Cutoff Indicator Light:

This indicator light will illuminate RED when either the Electric Heating

Element(s) and/or Diesel-Burner have automatically shut down due to a low

water and antifreeze solution level inside the Aqua-Hot’s Boiler Tank.  This fault

will automatically reset when the low level condition is corrected.

Low Battery Voltage Fault Indicator Light:

This indicator light will illuminate RED whenever the VDC voltage level is too

low for the Aqua-Hot to operate properly.  This fault must be manually reset

after the voltage level has been restored to the VDC battery system; 

reference

 

Low Voltage Reset

 below.

Low Voltage Reset (Button):

Overload Fault Indicator Light:

This indicator light will illuminate RED whenever one of the following conditions

have occurred:

1.

The Aqua-Hot is off due to an electrical overload (i.e., short) in the main

VDC power supply circuitry.

2.

The Aqua-Hot is off due to a combination of high electrical VDC power

loads and a high surface temperature of the Electronic Controller.

The Aqua-Hot will automatically restart once the electrical overload (i.e., short)

and/or high heat condition is corrected.

Heating Zones Status Indicator Lights:

These five indicator lights (separately) will illuminate GREEN whenever a

Zone Thermostat, for each particular zone, is calling for heat.  The GREEN

indicator lights also indicate that VDC power is being supplied to the particular

interior heating zone’s Heat Exchangers (i.e., fan motors).  If any of the five

indicator lights illuminate RED, it indicates that an electrical overload condition

(i.e., short) has occurred in a particular heating zone’s circuitry.

NOTE:

A short in either a heating zone’s Interior Room Thermostat or

heating zone’s Heat Exchanger circuit will cause the indicator light to

illuminate RED.

Pumps #1, #2, and #3 Indicator Lights:

These indicator lights (separately) will illuminate GREEN whenever a

Circulation Pump is operating.  If any of the three indicator lights illuminate

RED, it indicates that an electrical overload condition (i.e., short) has occurred

in the particular component’s circuitry.

NOTE:

The Zone Circulation Pumps (separately) are activated whenever

a Zone Thermostat calls for heat.

Engine Preheat Pump Indicator Light:

This indicator light will illuminate GREEN whenever the Engine Preheat Pump

The Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller must be manually reset whenever the 

Low Battery Voltage Fault indicator light has been activated.  The Electronic 

Controller can be reset either by depressing the “

Low Voltage Reset

” button 

located on the Electronic Controller (use a thin, straight, nonmetallic object to 

access the reset button through the small hole in the faceplate) or by turning 

OFF

 the Diesel switch on the Heater’s Interior Switch Panel for approximately 

30 seconds, then turning the switch back 

ON
