With this key switch you can adjust water temperature within the range of ambient to + 56 oC. Numeric keys must be pressed within 5 seconds of each other, otherwise display returns to the original figure. HEAT ..............
INDICATORS HEATING ....... This red indicator is lit when the heating element is actually drawing current from the circuit and heating the water. When it reaches set temperature, the heating indicator light shuts off. FAULT ............ If the water temperature exceeds 58 °C, an alarm will sound and the red fault light will be illuminated. This may indicate a unit malfunction. ADD WATER .... This red indicator will light if there is insufficient water in the bath. The unit will not operate.
2) The ADD WATER light is on and there is sufficient water in the bath. • With the unit unplugged and raised out of the water, check that there is no obstruction around the float switch in the shroud unit. The float should move freely up and down the stem approximately half-inch. 3) The FAULT light is on. • Check the water temperature. If the water temperature is above 58 °C, the FAULT light will light and the unit will not be operable. • If this temperature is reached, it may indicate a unit malfunction.
