GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This electric immersion heater is designed for operation in liquid and is manufactured according to the standards and
regulations that apply when the following conditions are met:
The electric immersion heater is intended for stationary use in ordinary-area applications and hot water/liquid
heating, -or- industrial water / liquid heating in an environment where there are no hazardous-area requirements.
The entire heating element must be always immersed in water/liquid for safe operation (at least 18 inches),
otherwise the heater will be damaged or destroyed. Be sure of this before connecting power.
Because limescale on the elements may damage the electrical immersion heater, regular checks and any cleaning
must be performed.
When cleaning the outside of the terminal box, use a soft dry cloth.
CONTROLLER OVERVIEW
The microprocessor controller regulates the heating process to the desired setpoint. The unit incorporates an electronic
temperature limiter and thermal fuses as overheating protection.

OPERATION OVERVIEW
If the heater loses power or is unplugged, and then power returns, the heater will pick up where it left off. If it was ON, it
will turn ON again, and if it was OFF, it will stay OFF through a power cycle. If the heater has power, the display will
show either the current setpoint or
If the heater was OFF last, then connecting the unit to mains power causes the display to show the current software
version, and then the unit turns back OFF.
While OFF, the heater is voltage free. Press the
current process temperature. Control is now active and the heater may engage. The green LED is on to indicate heater is
ON.
The display also shows alarm information. The table below describes how these alarms are shown:
