IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE: These instructions are intended for use by qualified personnel who

are specifically trained and experienced in the installation of this type of equipment and re­lated system components. Installation and service personnel may be required by some states
to be licensed. If your state requires certification, be sure your contractor bears the appropri­ate license. Only qualified persons shall attempt to repair this equipment. Repair must be
according to these instruction.

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance may dam­age the equipment, create a hazard resulting in asphyxiation, explosion, fire, electric shock,
personal injury or property damage, and will void the warranty.

CAUTION: MORE THAN ONE (1) SUPPL Y SOURCE. THIS APPLIANCE HAS PROVISIONS
TO BE CONNECTED TO MORE THAN ONE (1) SUPPL Y SOURCE. TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT ALL SUCH CONNECTIONS BEFORE SERVICING.

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. MORE THAN ONE (1) DISCONNECT SWITCH
MAY BE REQUIRED TO DE-ENERGIZE THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE SERVICING.

NOTE: Minimum 18 A WG , 105°C, stranded wire must be used for all low volt age (less than 30
volts) external connections to the unit. Solid conductors should not be used because they can
cause excessive tension on contact points. Install conduit as appropriate. All high voltage wires
must be the same size (105°C, stranded wire) as the ones on the unit or larger.

INTRODUCTION

This product is designed for easy installation and operation. The following instructions and
information will aid you in the integration of this unit into your E–6 BOILER ALARM system.
Access to a copy of the owners manual for the main E–6 unit in addition to these instructions is
necessary and required. Af ter reviewing both manuals, installation will be quick and easy . Be
sure to read and follow all cautions, warnings, and important notices to protect against property
damage or personal injury .

CONCEPT OF OPERATION

The E–6 REMOTE/ALARM RESET is remotely accessible alarm panel for the E–6 BOILER
ALARM. This unit utilizes a buzzer/light combination remotely located (i.e., in a nearby office or
maintenance room) from the boiler room where the boiler and E–6 are located. It is also equipped
with a reset switch that can disable the audio alarm without the need for direct access to the E–
6 itself.

INST ALLA TION AND MOUNTING

The panel is designed to be installed as a face plate for a standard 4x4 junction box. The
junction box (not included) should be located where the reset panel can be accessed and
seen from the best range of locations within the room.

Selection of a suitable location for the installation should include building code restrictions,
access and visibility . Comply to all applicable building codes for your area. Make sure that the
panel can be easily reached to reset the audible alarms. Choose a location that the alarm panel
light can be easily seen from all directions.

NOTE: The audio alarms can be reset from the main E6 unit leaving only the light on the
remote panel showing a fault. Do not assume that the audio alarm must be active to indicate
a potential problem.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The junction box can be mounted in several ways to accommodate the reset panel. Di­rectly on a suitable vertical surface mounted from the back of the box, with the front face flush
to a wall surface, or internal to the wall surface. The front of the junction box can be as far as
one inch from the wall surface using the hardware included. Make sure that field wiring (Not
included) can be run between the location chosen for the remote and main E6 unit within the
code restriction for your area. The wall hole size for the junction box must be limited to less
than half an inch from the edge or the remote panel will not cover the entire opening.

Make sure to read and follow all warnings, cautions and instructions in this manual and the
operation manual that is included with the E6 BOILER ALARM.
