Temperature Sensor
The location of the temperature sensor for the temperature control module must be located as near to
the outlet of the RIMS Rocket™ as possible. Reducing the distance between the heat source and the
temperature sensor minimizes over shooting the set point of the temperature control device.
Although the heater may cycle on and off frequently, the stability of the system is optimized. The
recommended temperature sensor location method is shown in Figure Op-4.

Heating
Before energizing the RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater, you must verify your system can
maintain a minimum flow rate of ¾ of a gallon per minute. If you are unable to achieve the minimum
flow rate, the power of the heater coil must be reduced. The RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater
is specifically designed for use with the Tower of Power™ electric temperature control module which
provides the perfect means of controlling temperature and power.
Important:
The ability to maintain required flow rates and modulate is necessary to prevent
scorching.
Warning:
The outlet of the RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater must always be unobstructed
and open to atmospheric pressure. NEVER close both the inlet and outlet of the RIMS Rocket™ electric
recirculation heater. Doing so can result in extremely dangerous pressures that can cause personal
property damage, injury or death.
Warning:
When operating the RIMS Rocket™ electric recirculation heater, the surface of the heater
and surrounding areas will be hot and can cause burns. Always keep children and pets away from hot
surfaces and wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, clothing and footwear
to prevent burns and scalds
