Install Control to Water Tank
1. To install the water heater control, screw the sensor
and well assembly into the spud until the bracket is
square. Use a maximum torque of 31 ft. lb. plus one
turn.
2. Ensure that the 3-wire lead from the well assembly
is bent down into its channel (as indicated in Fig. 4),
and then insert the 3-pin wire lead from the well
assembly onto the connector of the Control and
snap in place as indicated in Fig. 8.
3. Ensure that the 3-wire lead from the well assembly
is properly in its channel, then position the valve
bracket of the Control (with the inverted flare outlet
69-1872EF—01
facing down) over the sensor and well assembly
bracket, then push in and down.
(Refer to Fig. 3 for proper orientation of the Control
to the sensor and well assembly.)
4. Check to ensure that the 3-wire lead from the well
assembly is not pinched between the Control and
the well assembly.
