CONNECTIONS – ELECTRICAL 

 

The power supply to the water heater must not be switched on until the water heater is filled with water

 

and a satisfactory megger reading is obtained. 
 
All electrical work and permanent wiring must be carried out by a qualified person and in accordance with the 
Wiring Rules AS/NZS 3000 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements. 
 
If this water heater is installed with an in-series booster, then the electric booster heating unit will not need to 
be connected to a power supply and the references to the electric booster heating unit, thermostat and boosting 
controls in these installation instructions will not be applicable to the installation. 
 

Note:

 AS 3498 requires that a water heater provides the means to inhibit the growth of Legionella bacteria in 

potable water. This water heater can satisfy this AS 3498 requirement provided, where an in-series booster 
water heater is not installed, the electric booster is energised for a sufficient period each day and the electric 
booster thermostat setting is 60°C or higher. 
 

SOLAR STORAGE TANK 

The solar storage tank with an electric booster heating unit must be directly connected to a 240 V AC 50 Hz 
mains power supply with an isolating switch installed at the switchboard. 
 
A  flexible  20  mm  conduit  is  required  for  the  electrical  cable  to  the  solar  storage  tank.  The  conduit  is  to  be 
connected to the unit with a 20 mm terminator. Connect the power supply wires directly to the terminal block 
and earth tab connection, ensuring there are no excess wire loops inside the front cover. 
 
The water heater is more suited for the booster heating unit to be connected to either a continuous, or a time 
of use, or an extended Off-Peak (overnight and day) electricity supply. A timer can also be used to control the 
boosting periods and help maximise solar savings. Refer to 

“Booster Control”

 on page 46. 

 
The booster heating unit may be connected to an Off-Peak (overnight) electricity supply, however this will only 
allow the booster to heat the water overnight. If this type of connection is considered, care must be taken to 
ensure there is sufficient boost capacity to meet the household’s full day and night’s hot water supply during 
periods of no or low solar gain, particularly in cold weather. 

Temperature Redistribution

 (refer to page 16) is 

more evident with this type of electricity supply connection and its implications should be discussed with the 
householder. 
 
Discuss the power supply and hot water usage requirements with the householder. 
 
If water and / or power are not available on completion of installation, leave the isolation switch in the meter 
box in the off position and 

place a warning label “Do not turn on electricity until the water heater is filled with 

water and the water heater has been commissioned” on the electrical isolating switch. 
 

THERMOSTAT SETTING 

The thermostat is adjustable from 60°C to 70°C. The factory setting of the thermostat is 60°C. The thermostat 
is adjusted by turning the adjuster anticlockwise to decrease the temperature setting and clockwise to increase 
the temperature setting. Only adjust the temperature setting when the isolating switch is switched off at the 
switchboard. 
 
For reasons of safety and economy, we advise the thermostat be set at the lowest temperature that will provide 
sufficient  hot  water  during  periods  when boosting  is required. Rheem recommends the  thermostat is set  at 
60°C to maximise solar contribution. Discuss the thermostat setting requirements with the householder.
