Safety Features

Low-Voltage Shutdown

The Aqua-Hot Reporter is designed to operate between 11V 
DC and 16V DC. If the Reporter detects that it is receiving 
voltage below 11.8V DC, it will display a low-voltage fault. If 
the Reporter system drops below 11.2V DC for more than 
30  seconds,  a  safety  mechanism  will  activate,  shutting 
down the Aqua-Hot.

Over-Current

An  Over-Current  fault  condition  occurs  when  too  much 
current is drawn by a component, usually a fan or pump. 
When this fault is triggered, the output channel is shut off 
until the system has been reset or power-cycled.

Over-Temperature
 

An over-temperature fault will occur if your Aqua-Hot heating 
system  has  reached  218°F.  The  Reporter  will  deactivate 
the  heater  and  display  an  over-temperature  fault  on  the 
display screen.

Low-Level Cutoff
 

If the system senses low fl uid levels, the heating system will 
shut down all fans, heat sources, and pumps until the unit 
is adequately refi lled.

Reporter “Heartbeat Function”
 

The  Reporter  unit  with  fi rmware  1v5  and  later  and  all 
Reporter  2.0  units  are  equipped  with  a  “heartbeat” 
function that establishes a signal between the RV-C system 
and  the  Reporter.  The  Reporter  constantly  awaits  for  a 
signal from the RV-C network indicating to the Reporter that 
it  is to  continue  normal  operation. Loss of 6 consecutive 
signals from the RV-C network will trigger the Reporter to 
deactivate  the  Aqua-Hot.  Once  power  is  restored  to  the 
coach  and  the  Reporter,  “BATTERY  DISCONNECT  SWITCH 
OFF” will be displayed in the fault log, indicating that the 
Reporter lost connectivity with the RV-C network.

Manual Mode

The 2.0 Reporters with CFG 1.9 and greater come with a 
manual mode in case the general coach RV-C network fails. 
It will allow for limited operation while the larger network/
module problem is addressed.

Interlock Switch
 

The  Aqua-Hot  600D  is  equipped  with  an  interlock  switch 
that prevents the heater from operating when the cover is 
not installed in the correct position or if it is not properly 
secured  in  place.  This  is  a  safety  device  to  ensure  the 
burner  will  not  ignite  if  the  service  panel  is  not  properly 
secured.

Read all instructions before installing the Aqua-Hot unit. Aqua-
Hot  Heating  Systems  is  not  liable  for  damage  resulting  from 
failing  to  follow  instructions  contained  in  this,  and  any  other 
Aqua-Hot documentation relevant to this unit.
•  Read this manual before installing or using the Aqua-Hot 

System to reduce the risk of injury to persons or damage to 
the equipment.

•  The  product  identity  label  contains  specifi cations  of  the 

unit, to what standards it has been tested, and important 
safety notices.

•  Disconnect  electric wiring to  the Aqua-Hot System  before 

welding  or  plasma  cutting  the  coach  to  avoid  damage  to 
equipment.

•  The  Aqua-Hot  tank  and  heating  loop  operate  at  0.0  PSI 

(zero pressure system). Air pressure to the tank must not 
exceed  20  PSI.  Exceeding  this  rating  will  cause  internal 
damage to the Aqua-Hot.

•  Use caution when working on or near any propane/diesel 

fuel system.

•  DO NOT connect the 12-volt DC power to the Aqua-Hot if the 

vehicle requires welding.

•  At  maximum  operating  temperature,  the  coolant  will  be 

very hot and scalding. Hot vapor or coolant may cause in 
serious burns or injury. Be aware of hot surfaces.

•  Installation  and  repairs  may  only  be  carried  out  by  an 

authorized,  factory-trained  A

qua-Hot  technician.  The 

heating system must be installed in accordance with local 
codes, or in accordance with the Standard for Recreational 
Vehicles, (RVIA) ANSI A 119.2/NFPA 501C, NFPA 1192.

•  Aqua-Hot will not be liable for problems or damage caused 

by the system being installed by untrained personnel.

As with any appliance, allow the Aqua-Hot to completely shut 
down BEFORE disengaging the coach 12V power disconnect.

NOTE: 

For  networked  control  of  the  Reporter,  Aqua-

Hot  requires  system  integrators  ensure  that  individual 
commands are received and processed. Aqua-Hot requires 
that  commands  be  repeated  or  confi rmed  so  that  if  a 
single message were dropped, or if there is a brief network 
disturbance, the Reporter would get into the correct state as 
soon as the disruption was removed.

The  Aqua-Hot  Reporter  monitors  the  heating  system  and 
handles  all  logic  relating  to  safeties  and  heating  control. 
As  such,  the  system  integrator  is  required  to  display  all 
pertinent status information but not use that information to 
lock out operation or add additional safety layers that could 
impact the end of operation if a message from the Reporter 
was missed.
