Connecting the Heater
First verify the power control device is
turned off and disconnected from any
power source. Next connect the custom
molded plug to the terminal pins of the
RIMS Rocket™ as shown in Figure Op-3. After
the custom molded plug is connected to the
heater, connect the male twist lock
connector to the power control device. At
this point is safe to connect the power
control device to a GFCI protected power
source.
Tip:
The heater cord can be installed in the
alternate position by removing the screw
plug and relocating the cable strain relief
fitting to the alternate positon to relieve the
cable and provide more convenient cable
routing.
Warning
: NEVER operate the RIMS Rocket™
electric recirculation heater without the
plug protector installed!
Warning:
NEVER plug the RIMS Rocket™
electric recirculation heater directly into a
power source. ALWAYS use a power control
device capable of de-energizing the heater
coil.
Figure Op-3
Warning:
NEVER plug in or unplug the heater cord from the heater coil when energized. Doing so will
result in arc damage to electrical connections.
Caution:
Before making any connections to the RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater, make
certain that the RIMS Rocket is completely filled with water or wort and your system is able to maintain
a minimum flow rate of ¾ of a gallon per minute. If your system cannot achieve the minimum flow
rate, the average power output of the RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater must be reduced.
