GENERAL INFORMATION Surface Mounted Thermostats Surface mounted thermostats are mounted into a bracket which holds the thermostat against the side of the tank. Surface mounted thermostats respond to tank surface temperatures to sense a call for heat, set point temperature settings and high limit (ECO) activation. It is import that the entire back surface of the thermostat is in full contact or flush with the tank. Improperly mounted thermostat will lead to improper heater operation. Manual ECO (

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION Residential and light duty commercial electric water heaters are designed to operate using several different operating modes. The common modes and sequence of operation are as follows: 1. Single Element Operation. 2. Double Element Non-Simultaneous Operation (single phase). 3. Double Element Non-Simultaneous Operation (3 phase). 4. Double Element Simultaneous Operation (single phase). 5. Double Element Simultaneous Operation (3 phase). Sequence of Operation- Single Element

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION Non-Simultaneous and Simultaneous Operation Double element electric water heaters are designed to operate in a Non-Simultaneous or Simultaneous mode. Non-Simultaneous Mode: Allows only one heating element to operate at a time. For example, when the tank is cold, the upper element is energized first, heating the top of the tank. Only when the upper thermostat is satisfied, the upper element is de-energized and power is directed to the lower thermostat, energizing the lower e

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION A 4 wire, double element heater wired for simultaneous operation is essentially two single element systems operating independently. The heaters are wired internally with two independent circuits, one circuit for each thermostat/element combination. When installed using a two wire service, the blue and red (or white) wires will be connected together, likewise black and yellow wires will be connected together. Sequence of Operation- Double Element, Simultaneous Operation, Sin

Likewise, Line at terminal T2 voltage is applied to terminal L3 of lower thermostat. ECO in both upper & lower thermostat is closed, so there is voltage at terminal L4 of both thermostats and to one side of both upper & lower elements. 2 Tank is cold therefore both thermostats ECO Closed Thermost

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION Some electric utility companies will offer discounts for using electricity during “Off Peak” Times of the day. The system allows the use of an “Off Peak” meter, which interrupts power to the lower element during high power demand periods. Sequence of Operation- Double Element, Non-Simultaneous Operation, Single Phase, Off Peak. 1 Line voltage is applied across terminals L1 & L3 of the upper thermostat. Line voltage from off peak meter is supplied to terminal L1 of lower the

TROUBLESHOOTING Most common cause for improper electric water heater operation can be linked to heating element failure. When troubleshooting an electric water heater with the incidence of “No Hot Water” or “Insufficient Amount of Hot Water” Its always a good idea to check the heating elements first following the procedure on page 15. Common Heating Element Failures Are: 1. Dry Firing. Element may be partially submerged in water or most likely, completely exposed with no water in tank. In some

TROUBLESHOOTING Quick Step Plan to Hot Water WARNING High voltage exposure. Use caution when 1. TURN OFF power to water heater and check all wire making voltage checks to avoid personal connections to insure they are tight and corrosion free. injury. 2. Turn power “ON” and determine that service voltage is present, and the high limit (ECO) has not actuated (see procedure on page 14). 3. Check for inoperative heating element (see procedure on page 15). 4. Check for proper thermostat operation
