HIGH WATER PRESSURE SWITCH (OPTIONAL): 

A high water pressure switch is available as an option on this water heater. A water pressure switch is used to 
monitor the water pressure in the water heater storage tank. If the water pressure rises above an adjustable set 
point, the control circuit is opened and operation of the water heater is shut down. The low water pressure 
switch may be specified with either an auto-reset function or a manual reset function on high water pressure. 

 

MANUAL LIMITING SWITCHES (OPTIONAL): 

As an option, a switch or multiple switches may be provided to interrupt the 120 VAC control circuit feed 
to the contactor coil or coils from the immersion heating thermostat(s). This switch may be used to 
manually turn off a portion of the heating element input. This feature may be used to reduce electrical input 
of the water heater in the summer months  when  ground  water  temperatures  are warmer  and  full electrical 
input  from  the  immersion  heating  elements  is  not  required.  The  water  heater  may  be  restored  to  full 
input  by moving the switches to the "ON" position. 

 

TIME CLOCK (OPTIONAL): 

The water heater may be provided with an optional time clock. The time clock 
will allow the water heater to be turned on and off with a pre-set schedule. The 
time clock may be specified with a 24 hour scheduling period or with a 7 day 
scheduling period. By the adjustment of the set points on the time clock, the 
water heater may be turned off when hot water is not needed or in periods 
when the building may not be occupied. The time clock allows the water 
heater to automatically cycle on in advance of the time when hot water may be 
needed. This will insure that hot water is always available yet save energy 
when there are scheduled periods when there will be no requirement for hot 
water. This feature is especially useful for schools and buildings that are 
occupied on a fixed schedule. As an additional feature, time clocks may be 

furnished with a spring wound carry-over function to insure that a switching schedule is maintained in 
periods where there may be power interruptions. The time clock works by making and breaking the 120 
VAC control circuit to the contactor coils to shut down operation of the heating elements in the desired time 
periods. 

PILOT LIGHTS (OPTIONAL): 

The  water  heater  may  be  provided  with  optional  pilot  lights  to  provide  an  external  indicator  for  each 
contactor or stage of heating elements that is energized. Each  pilot  light  is  wired  in  parallel with  the  120 
VAC  control  circuit  feed  to  the  contactor  coil(s).  The  pilot  will  be  turned  on  as  the  contactor  coil(s)  is 
energized  by  the  temperature controls.
