Temperature Controller Installation
• The controller should be out of reach of small
children.
• Avoid locations where the controller may become
hot (near the oven or radiant heater).
• Avoid locations in direct sunlight. The digital
display may be difficult to read in direct sunlight.
• Avoid locations where the temperature controller
could be splashed with liquids.
• Do not install in locations where it can be adjusted
by the public.
Configurations
A maximum of 4 temperature controllers, including
wired and wireless, can be installed for a water heater
or bank of water heaters. Controllers can only be
wired in parallel. Controllers cannot be wired in
series.

Any one of the 5 types of controllers can be installed
by itself and still operate the water heater. All
functions will be available with the exception that the
clock function on the BC-100V will only be available if
an MC-100V is also connected.

Cable Lengths and Size
The cable for the temperature controller should be a
non-polarized two-core cable with a minimum gauge
of 22 AWG. The maximum cable length from each
controller to the water heater depends on the total
number of wired controllers connected to the water
heater.
