INSTALLATION – CONTROLLERS 

CONNECTING THE CONTROLLER(S) TO THE WATER HEATER 

To connect the controller(s) to the water heater: 

1.

Ensure  the  electrical  supply  to  the  water  heater  is
switched off.

2.

Unscrew and gently remove the electrical cover from the
underside of the water heater.

3.

Draw the cable(s) through the electrical cover.

4.

Connect a cable lug from each cable to each of the remote
controller terminals. Each cable has two cable lugs.

Ensure  the  terminal  screws  are  seated  firmly  and  there
are no excess wire loops inside of the electrical cover.

The cable connections are non-polarised.

Three  cable  lugs,  one  from  each  controller,  can  be
connected to each remote controller terminal.

5.

Place the cable(s) in the cable holder notches.

It  is  important  to seat  the  cables  into  the  cable  notches.
Failure to do this may cause an unstable contact or even
disconnection  of  the  cables  from  the  terminals  if  the
cables were to be pulled.

6.

Refit the electrical cover to the water heater and replace
the screws.

7.

Switch on the electrical supply to the water heater.

Upon completion of the installation of the controllers, it is necessary to test their operation through the complete 
range of functions (refer to 

“Temperature Control”

 on pages 15 to 44). 

Upon completion and testing of the installation, explain to the householder the functions and operation of the 
controllers and the water heater. 

If it is necessary to turn  off the  water  heater on completion of the installation, such as on  a building site or 
where the premises is vacant, follow the procedure 

“To Turn Off the Water Heater”

 on page 85.
