(Note: Sensor does NOT need to make intimate contact with 
entire well surface to work properly) 

 

The TOP PERFORMER may operate as a separate heating zone 
using either the heating system circulator and an appropriate 
zone valve, or a separate circulator dedicated for water heating. 

(See Figure 1 & 2). 

(See Figure 3 for S70DTPP) 

 

In both systems, the TOP PERFORMER is controlled through the 
thermostat on the heater. 

(See Figures 1 & 2).

 (See Figure 3 for 

S70DTPP) 

 

Be certain to replace thermostat cover using Black Screw 
provided. 

 

J.  ETC101  WIRING CONTROLS 

WARNING: 

Do not use ETC101 with 110V circuits. For Switching 

110V, use a standard TPI Control.

 

 

For controlling zone valves, multi-zone controllers and switching 
relays, follow applicable wiring diagrams for typical low voltage 
thermostat circuits.   

 

Some newer switching relay models do not work properly with 
“Power Stealing” thermostats. The ETC101 is a power stealing 
thermostat unless powered separately. Connect 24VAC Power 
(From the the switching relay board or from a step down 
transformer to the screws to the right of the Probe Connector. 
(See Thermostat Diagram 5) 

 

K.  TPI WIRING CONTROLS 

 

NOTE: THE TPI THERMOSTAT MUST BE POWERED WITH 24V

AC

 

 

24V

AC

 power must be connected to 24V

AC

 connectors on the 

bottom right corner of TPI. (See THERMOSTAT Diagram 3) 

 

The TPI 24V

AC

 only requires 20mA, or about 0.5 Watts. 

 

Connect control wiring to PUMP/TT normally open relay 
connections (rated for both 24V and 110V wiring) on the bottom 
left corner of TPI. 

(See Thermostat Diagrams 3 and 5)

 

 

All and only 110V

AC

 wiring must go through an appropriate chase 

nipple installed in the knockout at bottom of TPI case. 

 

TPI Wiring will vary depending on the type of boiler and valve 
controls in the system. Consult attached Wiring Diagrams for 
appropriate wiring configuration for your system. 

 

CAUTION: If Sensor is soldered directly to TPI, DO NOT BEND 
SHARPLY OR OVERWORK.  

 

L.  INSULATION INSTALLATION 

 

Place included fiberglass insulation between and around the 
water supply and boiler supply connections. Attach lid using 
screws provided. Insulate hot water pipes with pipe insulation.
