CONNECTIONS – ELECTRICAL
Power must not be turned on until the water heater is filled with water, and a
satisfactory megger reading is obtained.
(See ‘Filling the Heater’, Page 14)
All water heaters are designed for 230-240v a.c. mains operation.
Electrical connections are made at the terminal block (access to which is made
by removing the junction box cover from the front of the heater).
1. Check all connections for wires which may have worked loose in transit.
2. Check thermostat setting before replacing junction Box Cover.
Normal thermostat setting is 80ºC.
Caution: Take care when drilling into external case for saddles or clips used to
mount plumbing and electrical fittings. Do not penetrate more than 12mm.
HEATING ELEMENT
The water heater is fitted with an incoloy bolt-on immersion type element. There
are several different element ratings used throughout the SAXON range of water
heaters.
The rating of your element is shown on the main decal
(SEE FIG. 1)
and will be
one of the following:-
(i) 1.8kW (ii) 2.4kW
(iii) 3.6kW (iv) 4.8 kW
The standard element will make a rumbling sound under normal operating
conditions, similar to the sound of an electric jug heating water. This sound in
itself does not indicate that the unit is boiling. If you consider this noise to be
unacceptable, some possible solutions are:-
(1) Changeover existing element with non-standard lower density heating
element of the same wattage.
(2) Relocate Water Heater.
