MOUNTING THE SENSORS AND CONNECTING WIRING, CONTINUED
Positioning
the INLET
Sensor
The INLET Sensor should be fitted into a metal immersion ‘pocket’ above the
HWC electric element near the bottom of the tank (usually just above the
element).
If a ‘pocket’ is not available, then bond the sensor against the metal wall of
the tank (not the outside cladding or insulation).
Apply plenty of heat transfer compound (available from your distributor)
between the sensor and the lining of the ‘pocket’. (or between the tank and
the sensor).
Precautions
Please note:
Removing or cutting the cladding may void the hot water tank warranty.
The sensor must not be immersed in water.
Unless the temperature probe is designed for immersion in water,
temperature probe pockets need to be completely dry before you insert
the probe; and the pocket must be protected against moisture entry after
the probe is fitted.
Sensor leads should be kept 300mm (12 inches) away from mains and
communications cables.
Make sure the right sensors are mounted in the right places!
