INSTALLATION – CONTROLLERS
CONTROLLERS
The water heater can be installed with controllers to enable the user to control the temperature of the
delivered water from the outlet of the water heater.
There are two families of controllers suitable for installation with this water heater. These are the standard
controllers and the Deluxe controllers.
Standard Controllers
There are three types of standard controller. They are the Kitchen controller Bathroom1 controller and the
Bathroom 2 controller
The standard controllers are identified by a ‘K’ (Kitchen controller), ‘B1’ (Bathroom1 controller) or ‘B2’
(Bathroom2 controller) located on the front bottom left hand corner of the standard controller.
Deluxe Controllers
There are three types of Deluxe controller. They are the Kitchen Deluxe controller Bathroom1 Deluxe
controller and the Bathroom2 Deluxe controller .
The Deluxe controllers are identified by a ‘K’ (Kitchen Deluxe controller), ‘B1’ (Bathroom1 Deluxe controller)
or ‘B2’ (Bathroom2 Deluxe controller), located under the front panel, to the bottom left hand corner adjacent
to the BATH FILL VOLUME label.
The standard and Deluxe controllers are designed to be hard wired into the water heater using either the
Kitchen controller cable or the Bathroom controller cable
Notes:
Where more than one controller is installed, the second or third controller must be of the same family.
A standard controller can only be installed with another standard controller(s) and a Deluxe controller
can only be installed with another Deluxe controller(s). A standard controller(s) and a Deluxe
controller(s) cannot be connected to the same water heater.
One, two or three controllers can be installed. Only one of each type of controller can be connected to
the water heater. Therefore, a maximum of three controllers only can be connected to each water
heater.
A Bathroom2 controller can only be installed if a Bathroom1 controller is installed and a Bathroom2
Deluxe controller can only be installed if a Bathroom1 Deluxe controller is installed.
An additional Kitchen controller cable or Bathroom controller cable can be used if an extension of the
cable length is required. It will be necessary to cut an opposite end off both cables to be installed in
order to wire them together. Alternatively, the cables may be extended using two-core flex with a
minimum cross-sectional area of 0.5 mm

.
Other manufacturers’ controllers are not suitable to and cannot be installed with this water heater.
Warning:
Temperature controllers
must not
be fitted to this water heater as part of a solar water heater
system or if a Water Star water heater is installed because water at a temperature much higher than the
controller setting can be delivered. If a solar preheater or a Water Star water heater has been installed to an
existing water heater installation, then all controllers
must be
disconnected and removed.
Location – The controllers must be installed in dry, shaded and clean locations.
Do not install the controllers:
Near a heat source, such as a cook top, stove or oven. Heat, steam and smoke will interfere with the
electronic components of the controllers.
In direct sunlight.
In or near a wet area. The controllers are not waterproof. Water may damage the controllers.
Outdoors. The controllers are not weatherproof.
