FUSING — Control and power circuit fusing to meet N.E.C.

PILOT SWITCH AND LIGHT — Provided on front of heater; permits manual starting and stopping of heater by interrupting power to control circuit.

MEETS OR EXCEEDS THE REQUIREMENTS OF ASHRAE 90.1b-1990STANDARD FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCIES.

ASME

MAGNETIC CONTACTOR(S) — Heavy duty UL rated for 100,000 cycles.

LOW WATER CUTOFF — Probe type electric low water cutoff prevents energizing of elements in the event of low water condition.

SAMPLE SPECIFICATIONS

The heater(s) shall be A.O. Smith Dura-PowerCommercial Electric Model Number ___________________ or an approved equal. Heater(s) shall be rated at _______ KW, _______ V, _______ phase, 60 cycle AC. The heater shall be for (vertical/ horizontal) installation with lifting lugs and channel skid base. Vessel shall be constructed to Section IV of the ASME Code for 125 psi working pressure. Vessel shall beglass-linedwith anodic protection. Entire vessel and electrical controls are to be encased in a rectangular sheet metal enclosure with baked enamel finish. Tank to be insulated with fiber glass insulation. Separate 2" dial type temperature gauge will be mounted on the front of the enclosure. Enclosure to have hinged locking door over electric controls. There shall be ____________ individually replaceable _______ KW, 4 bolt flange mounted, incoloy sheathed heating elements each complete with prewired terminal leads. These elements will be switched by magnetic contactors which are operated by a 120V fused control circuit protected by manual reset high limit. Control circuit is activated by a master pilot switch and electronic low water cutoff. The thermostatic control of the contacts shall be in _______ stages through solid state modulating step control which will balance the water heating input to the demand. This control shall prevent the entire electrical load from being switched on instantaneously. The control shall have even load progressive sequencing which utilizes the "first on, first off" principle thereby equalizing the operating time of heating elements and contactors. Each magnetic contactor and heating element circuit will be protected by a maximum of 60 amp cartridge type fuses with a minimum of 100,000 amp interrupting capacity. The entire water heating package shall be prewired to solderless terminal lugs, factory tested, complete with ASME temperature and pressure relief valve and bear the Underwriters' Laboratories label. Heater(s) shall have a 3 year limited warranty as outlined in the written warranty. Fully illustrated instruction manual included.
