5. Enstalasyon

Proper installation is crucial for the accurate and safe operation of the thermostat. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician.

  1. Dekoneksyon pouvwa: Ensure the hot water pressure washer is completely powered off and disconnected from its power source before beginning installation.
  2. Monte Thermostat la:
    • Select a suitable panel location for the thermostat unit. The location should be easily accessible for temperature adjustment and protected from excessive moisture or vibration.
    • Cut an appropriate opening in the panel for the thermostat body.
    • Secure the thermostat unit to the panel using the provided mounting hardware.
    • Attach the control knob to the thermostat shaft.
  3. Capillary Tube and Bulb Installation:
    • The copper sensing bulb must be inserted into the hot water stream or a thermowell within the pressure washer system where accurate temperature measurement is required.
    • Use the provided brass fitting to secure the sensing bulb in place, ensuring a watertight seal.
    • Route the 60-inch capillary tube carefully, avoiding sharp bends, kinks, or contact with hot surfaces that could damage the tube or affect its accuracy. The tube should be protected from physical damage.
    • Ensure the capillary tube is not under tension.
  4. Fil elektrik:
    • Connect the thermostat's electrical terminals to the pressure washer's heating element control circuit. Refer to your pressure washer's wiring diagram for specific connection points.
    • The thermostat is rated for 16(4)A-380V. Ensure your system's electrical load and voltage yo konpatib.
    • All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and standards.
  5. Tèks final yo:
    • Tcheke tout koneksyon yo de fwa pou wè si yo an sekirite epi si yo byen izolan.
