Heating Elements:
The brewhouse is supplied with six 9,000 W ultra-low watt density heating elements. Each heating element is specific
to the type of panel ordered. The individual heating element amperages as well as connection types are below. We recommend SJOOW
type cable. Again, your local codes will dictate the cable type and gauge.
IMPORTANT:
Always consult your local codes to determine what type of cable is acceptable, what gauge is required, and maximum
lengths of flexible cable allowed.

Your system is supplied with PT100 RTD temperature probes with 30 feet of cable. Insert the Temperature Probe into the cord grip
and thermowell until the probe bottoms out.
It is important to ensure it is inserted all the way, otherwise this can cause your
temperature readings to be inaccurate.
Tighten the cord grip until the probe cable is locked into place.
Connect the white, red, and blue wires to the control panel listed below.

Float Switches –
float switches are provided to help prevent unintended energizing of the heating elements. It is vital that the heating
elements be immersed in liquid prior to energizing them. Failure to immerse the heating elements will cause them to fail and potentially
cause a fire! Using the wires included, run the wire from the float switches to the terminal block shown in the panel
(Fig. 10)
. Polarity is not
important. Hook your HLT float switch blue and brown wires into terminals HLTFS-1 and HLTFS-2 in the panel. Hook your BK float switch
blue and brown wires into terminals BKFS-1 and BKFS-2 in the panel. Again, polarity is not important. If jumper wires are installed in the
panel remove them when you install the switch wires.
When wiring the float switches to the control panel use a continuity tester on the leads to ensure that the switch is open when in the
down (empty) position, and is closed (has continuity) in the up (full) position.
CAUTION: THE LOW WATER LEVEL SWITCHES ARE A BACKUP TO AN UNINTENDED ENERGIZING OF THE HEATERS. THEY
ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE NORMAL SHUTOFF SWITCHES AND SOLELY RELIED UPON TO KEEP THE HEATERS FROM
UNINTENTIONALLY ENERGIZING! DRY-FIRED HEATING ELEMENTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!
