Electrical Connection
This water heater is designed for
single phase 240V A.C supply only.
The electrical connection must
comply with Local Supply Authority
Regulations and AS/NZS3000.
For models pre-wired with a flexible
lead, if the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent, or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid hazard.
For models not pre-wired with a flexible
lead, connections are made at the
terminal block inside the water heater,
and a means for disconnection must
be incorporated in accordance with the
wiring rules.
Entry to the connection area is through
the hole beneath the element cover,
designed to accept a 20mm conduit.
The element cover may be removed by
undoing the two screws on the cover
and sliding the cover downwards to
disengage the top edge. Ensure that the
conduit entry is well sealed to achieve
correct weatherproofing.
Note:
This water heater is fitted with
a thermostat and over-temperature
energy cut-out. Under no circumstances
should the water heater be operated
without both these devices being in the
circuit. Replacement must be carried
out only by a qualified electrician or the
manufacturer.
Danger:
The operation of the thermal
cut-out indicates a possibly dangerous
situation. Do NOT reset the thermal
cutout until the water heater has been
serviced by a qualified person.
Caution:
Water heater must be filled
with water before turning on the
electricity supply.
Electrician:
Press the reset button on
thermostat to ensure over-temperature
cut-out is set.
When supply wiring has been connected,
supply wires must be kept lower than the
terminal block.
