Electric Heating Element Status Indicator Light

This indicator light will illuminate GREEN whenever the Aqua-Hot’s 

120 VAC Electric 

Heating Element

 is operating and providing the heat to the Aqua-Hot’s 

Boiler Tank

reference Figure 5.  Please note that this light will only be active if the “

Electric”

 switch is 

in the 

ON

 position; reference Figure 4.  If this indicator light illuminates RED, it indicates 

an electrical or overload condition (i.e., a short) has occurred in the Electric Heating 

Element’s VDC powered circuitry.  

4.3 

Heating Zone Status Indicator Lights

These five indicator lights (separately) will illuminate GREEN whenever a 

Zone Thermo-

stat

 for a particular zone is calling for heat; reference Figure 5.  The GREEN indicator 

lights also indicate that VDC power is being supplied to the particular interior heating 

zone’s 

Heat Exchangers

 (i.e., fan motors).  If any of the five indicator lights illuminate 

RED, it indicates that an electrical overload condition (i.e., a short) has occurred in a 

particular heating zone’s circuitry.

NOTE:  

A short, in either a heating zone’s 

Thermostat

 or a heating zone’s 

Heat 

Exchanger

 circuit, will cause the indicator light to illuminate RED.
