calorique thermolar tank warming system User Manual

MAXIMUM OPERATING TEMPERATURES (continued)

Linear Polyethylene Tanks

Maintenance Temperature:

up to 120°F/50°C

Over Limit Temperature:

up to 130°F/55°C

Low Limit Temperature:

up to 115°F/45°C

OPERATION

Under normal operating conditions, no adjustment is necessary. It is
suggested that the liquid level within the tank be maintained to at
least the level of the highest heating element. This will ensure that
each heating element is operating at its peak efficiency.

TEMPERATURE ALARMS

User intervention may be required if either the over-limit or low-limit
alarm lights are illuminated or if remote alarms (if installed) are acti-
vated. Under these circumstances, check for the following indica-
tions:

•

Does the system or exterior of the tank look damaged in any
way?

Determine the extent of the damage and contact Calorique
technical support at (508) 291-4224 for possible corrective
action.

•

Are the heating elements damaged?

To determine if the elements have been damaged:

1.Remove the system from power.

2.Disconnect each heating element from the terminal strip in the control unit.

3.If possible, visually inspect each element for obvious damage.

4.Using an accurate ohm or multimeter, determine the resistance of each element.

These readings

should be between the following (depending on voltage):

Note

In normal operation, the over-limit temperature alarm and relay may occasionally be
activated. If the over-limit alarm and relay remain on for more than 5 minutes at a
time remedial action should be followed.
