4.5.2 Completing the Control Switch
Installation
Prior to completing the control switch installation,
I
refer to "Wiring the 115 VAC Power Supply" on
page 10.
1. Position the wall plate with the letters and symbols
oriented properly.
2. Use four screws to mount the control switch. Tighten
the screws to hold the control switch(es) firmly in
place.
3. Turn the switch(es) to the OFF position.
For dual control switches, ensure both switches are
I
turned to the OFF position.
4.6 Wiring the 115 VAC Power
Supply
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD.
When a cord and plug connection to the power
supply are used on a water heater, the power cord
must be UL listed as suitable for damp locations,
hard or extra hard usage. The cord must be a
flexible type such as S, SO, ST, STO, SJ, SJT, SJTO,
HS or HSO described in the National Electric
Code ANSI/NFPA 70. The length of the external
cord to the water heater, measured to the face
of the attachment plug, shall be no less than 2 ft
(60.96 cm) and no more than 6 ft (182.88 cm). The
supply cord must be a minimum of 14 AWG. The
attachment plug must be rated at 15 A. Failure to
obey this warning could result in death or serious
injury.
NOTICE: Do not route wires around sharp objects or
where it could be smashed.
NOTICE: When using Romex
be sure to position the ground wire so it does not
contact the heating element terminals. Damage to the
ground wire can occur.
