Step-by-Step Immersion Controller Instructions
1. Prepare the System
- First, ensure the power to your heater is off.
- If necessary, drain the system below the heater tapping.
2. Install the Immersion Controller
- Next, examine your heater’s layout. Heater manufacturers typically provide a tapping for inserting the controller’s sensing element. This tapping is located where typical heater water temperature can be measured.
- Depending on the model, the element is either inserted in an immersion well or through a bulb compression fitting.
- If the tapping is on the side of the tank unit, mount the controller horizontally. If the tapping is on top of the unit, mount it vertically.
- Ensure the sensing bulb fits tightly in the immersion well. Insert the bulb until it rests against the bottom of the well, then hold it in place while tightening the tubing clamp.
3. Fill the System
- After installation, fill the system, ensuring the well is screwed in tightly to prevent leakage.
- Refer to the wiring diagram to wire your controller to a gas system. Ensure all wiring complies with applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations.
- Use a disconnect device and overload protection to assure a safe installation.
4. Adjust the Control Point
- Finally, adjust the control point to match the heater manufacturer’s recommendations. Insert a screwdriver in the slotted screw type head located beneath the window in the cover and turn the scale to the desired control point.
By following these instructions, you can effectively install and fine-tune your Tempro immersion heater controller, ensuring efficient and accurate temperature control for your specific heating needs.
