4.1 FITTING THE IMMERSION HEATER(S)
The immersion heater(s) supplied should be screwed into the 1 3/4” BSP boss(es) on the side of the
MegaLife unit. Ensure the “o”-ring seal is in place and is not damaged.
DO NOT
use any other
type of seal or sealant on the threads.
The MegaLife heater will not accept standard 2 1/4” BSP threaded immersion heaters. This is to
prevent the use of immersion heaters which do not have a safety thermal cut-out fitted. The
immersion heater should only be replaced with authorised Heatrae Sadia spare parts.
The 170 litre and 210 litre direct models are supplied with two immersion heaters. If both immersion
heaters are not required a boss can be plugged with the aid of an 1 3/4” BSP blanking plug
available from Heatrae Sadia (order Heatrae Sadia part no. 95 605 829).
4.2 WIRING (see Diagram 3)
All electrical wiring should be carried out by a competent electrician and be in accordance with the
latest I.E.E. Wiring Regulations. Each circuit must be protected by a suitable fuse and double pole
isolating switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm in both poles.
The immersion heater(s) should be wired in accordance with Diagram 3 and the instructions supplied
within the cap of the immersion heater(s).The immersion heater(s)
MUST
be earthed. The supply
cable must be routed through the cable grip provided and the outer sheath of the cable firmly secured
by tightening the screws on the cable grip. Replace the immersion heater cover(s) before operating.
DO NOT
operate the immersion heater(s) until the MegaLife has been filled with water.
4.3 OPERATION

o
-
65
o
C), however they can be set between 1 and 5 (10
o
and 70
o
C). The thermostat incorporates a
thermal cut-out that will switch off the immersion heater in the event of a thermostat failure. The
thermal cut-out reset button position is indicated on Diagram 3.
DO NOT
bypass the thermal cut-out
in any circumstances.
