Connecting Remote Controller Cord to Unit
• Keep the remote controller cord away from the freeze prevention heaters in the unit.
• Tie the redundant cord outside the water heater. Do not put the extra length inside the equipment.
• The remote controller cord can be extended up to 90m (300') with 18AWG wire.
• Use a Y type terminal with a resin sleeve. (Without the sleeve, the copper wire may corrode and
cause problems).
• Be sure to hand tighten when screwing to the terminal block. Power tools may cause damage to the
terminal block.
Remote controller cord
• For extensions, a 7.8m (26') cord can be purchased (Part # RC-CORD26) or use 18AWG wire.
• Install according to the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes.

3. Pass the remote controller cord through the wiring
throughway and into the unit.
