XTherm heaters are wired for 120VAC single phase
power. Models 1005 and 1505, except WH 1505 mod-
els equipped with a heater pump for hard water,
require 20A service for the heater and 15A service for
the heater pump or a single 40A rated circuit. Model
1505 heaters equipped for hard water require 15A
service for the heater and 25A service for the heater
pump or a single 50A rated circuit. Model 2005
heaters require 25A service for the heater and 25A
service for the heater pump, or a single 50A service.
Consult the wiring diagram shipped with the heater.
Use appropriately sized wire as defined by NEC, CSA
and/or local codes. All primary wiring should be rated
for 125% of the minimum required service. Before
starting the heater, verify that the correct 120VAC volt-
age is being supplied to the heater and pump.
If any of the original wire supplied with the heater must
be replaced, it must be replaced with 105°C or its
equivalent.
Power is connected to the heater via the rear wiring
box as shown at the top of Fig. 19. Main heater power
is connected to terminals 1, 2 and 3 and pump power
is connected to terminals 4, 5 and 6.
Field wiring connections such as sensors, interlocks,
enable/disable and alarm contacts are made at the low
voltage terminal strip at the front of the heater as
shown at the bottom of Fig. 19.
