! WARNING !
This immersion heater must be earthed.
! WARNING !
The manual reset high limit thermostat must not under any
circumstances by by-passed. This is pre-set to 75°C and to
prevent nuisance tripping, the control thermostat should
always be left in position

IMMERSION HEATER SAFETY CUT-OUT
The immersion heater incorporates an independent non self-
resetting over temperature cut-out device to prevent excessive
water temperatures.
In normal operation the reset pin positioned to the side of the
control knob and indicated by a triangle (with the words ‘bipolar
safety’ above) will be approximately 2-3mm below the upper
surface of the thermostat cap.
Should the over temperature cut-out operate, the reset pin will be
pushed upwards to become level with or slightly above the cover.
Wait until the temperature has fallen sufficiently. Then Investigate
and identify the cause of the cut-out operation and rectify the fault.
Then manually reset the cut-out by pressing in the reset pin to its
normal operating position using hand pressure only with a suitably
sized implement.
! WARNING !
Before removing the immersion heater covers to either
reset the safety cut-out or check/alter the thermostat
setting, ensure that the electrical supply is isolated.
Ensure the cover to the immersion heater cover is replaced
correctly and the retaining nut is fitted. Finally switch the mains
electricity supply back on.
All electrical wiring must be carried out by a competent person
and in accordance with the current edition of BS7671 (the I.E.T.
Wiring Regulations), including any amendments.
The control equipment supplied must be wired according to these
Installation and User Instructions to ensure that the cylinder
functions safely.
From an economic and convenience point of view, it is intended
that these controls operate in conjunction with other control
packages, for example, an “S-plan” type system that incorporates
a programmer, etc.
5.1
IMMERSION HEATER
All Grant QR integrated indirect heat pump cylinders are supplied
factory-fitted with one 3kW immersion heater. This immersion
heater conforms to EEC Directive 76/889 for radio interference
and complies with EN 60335-2-73.
The BEAB approval certification on this immersion heater only
applies if a Thermowatt RTS rod type thermostat is used.
The control thermostat is pre-set on position “• •” at a temperature
of approximately 65°C. Refer to Figure 5-1.
Installation and wiring instructions for the immersion heater are
supplied with each unit. The wiring connections are also shown
in Figure 5-1. Follow the wiring instructions connecting the live,
neutral and earth as indicated.
The immersion heater must be permanently connected to the
electrical supply via the Greenbrook T205-C timer (factory
fitted) which incorporates a double-pole isolator and is fused
at 13 amps. Refer to Section 5.7 for further information on the
Greenbrook T205-C timer and Figures 5-2 and 5-3 for connection
details. A safety cut-out is also incorporated within the thermostat
and is factory set to operate at 75°C.
The immersion heater is factory fitted to the cylinder. If the
immersion heater needs to be replaced it must be fitted to
the cylinder using the gasket provided on the unit. Only use a
correctly shaped spanner. Stilsons or pipe grips should not be
used. The use of sealing compound is not recommended.
! WARNING !
The immersion heater must NOT be used unless it is fully
immersed in water.
Always ensure that the cylinder is full of water BEFORE
switching on the electrical supply.
Refer to Figure 2-2 for the position of the immersion heater.

IMMERSION HEATER WIRING
INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that the supply voltage corresponds to the voltage rating
of the immersion heater as shown on the rating label on the
terminal cover.
Each 3kW 230V 50Hz-immersion heater should be wired in
accordance with the instructions given in Figure 5-1.
The cable must be routed through the strain relief bush. The cable
grip should be secured using only the screws provided.
The 230V 50Hz power supply for the immersion heater should
be wired to the Greenbrook T205-C timer (factory fitted), which
incorporates a double pole isolator switch and is independently
fused at 13 amps. This connection must be fully earthed.
The electrical connection between the Greenbrook T205-C timer
and the immersion has been made using 90°C heat resistant,
PVC type TI-3 insulated, PVC type TM-3 sheathed flexible cable,
with a cross sectional area of 1.5mm² and complies with BS EN
60228:2005.
Refer to Section 5.7 for further information on the Greenbrook
T205-C timer and Figures 5-2 and 5-3 for connection details.
! WARNING !
Always ensure that the immersion heater cap is not
covered.
