THERMELECT SYSTEM CHECK-OUT
THIS PROCEDURE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED
THECHNICIAN.
1. Verify required clearances are maintained. Refer to System
Identification Label for clearance requirements.
2. Verify power company’s peak control system and/or
building management system are operating properly.
3. Verify outdoor temperature information displayed is accurate.
4. Verify heating zones are operating as intended. Initiate a heat call. Verify system recognizes the
appropriate heat call. Refer to Operating Status section for information on various displays.
5. Verify outlet water temperature displayed rises with heat call.
6. Verify Location 40 (L040) is correct for the application. Reference ThermElect Tech Bulletin “Maximizing
Element Life” for more information.
7. Verify all heating zones are operating with the correct zone valve response and water pressure is correct
for the application.
NOTE: Steps 8, 9, 10 and 11 are designed to verify that when all heating elements are energized, the
system is drawing proper amperage and to verify that when under control, the system is not
drawing any amperage. How to perform these system checks may vary depending on the type
of building management system being used.
8. Scroll up on the display panel until the targeted brick core charge level is displayed. Using the charge
control override or the building management system, initiate a full charge. Once initiated, the heating
system will target 100 percent core charge, all elements will be energized, and the control panel should
display “tL: F”.
NOTE: Initiating a full charge may cause electric company demand charges to accumulate. Check with
building system administration before starting this test.
9.
With an amp meter, verify amperage of system is correct for installation. Refer to System Identification
Label for information regarding proper amperage.
10. Place the heating system in a controlled state and verify that targeted brick core charge level changes to
“tL: _”.
11. With an amp meter, verify that there is no amp draw on the charging circuits.
12. De-energize heating system.
13. Remove front painted panel and inspect element connections for signs of overheating and/or loose
connections.
14. Check resistance across each element to ensure elements are not open.
15. Verify core thermocouples are fully inserted into the core.
16. Reinstall the painted front panel and return heating system to normal operating mode.
