ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
General:
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/NZS 3000.
Pre-Wired Models:
Water heaters with the letter “P” at the
end of their model number are factory
fitted with a power supply cord. These
water heaters may be plugged into a
standard general purpose power outlet.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer,
a service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
“Hard Wired” Models:
Water heaters without the letter “P” at
the end of their model number are not
factory fitted with a power cord.
Connection of the electrical wiring
must only be carried out by a licensed
tradesperson. Before removing the
electrical cover, ensure the electrical
power supply is safely isolated.
Connections are made at the terminal
block under the water heater electrical
cover, and a means for disconnection
must be incorporated in the fixed
wiring in accordance with the Wiring
Rules.
The electrical cover may be removed
by undoing the two screws at the
bottom of the cover and sliding the
cover downwards to disengage the top
edge.
Cable entry to the connection area is
through the hole in the case beneath
the electrical cover, designed to accept
a 20mm conduit. Ensure the conduit
entry is well sealed to achieve the
correct weatherproofing.
When the supply wiring has been
connected, ensure the wires are kept
lower than the terminal block.
Before replacing the electrical
cover, press the reset button on
the thermostat to ensure the over-
temperature energy cut-out is set.
Ensure the water heater is filled with
water before turning on the electricity
supply.
