Normal operation

Note: The temperature setting can only be changed by the 

controller if the priority lamp is lit. If multiple remote controllers 

are installed, you can transfer the priority by pressing the 

“Priority” button on the relevant controller but only if there 

is no water flowing through the water heater (close all open 

hot taps or fixtures). Each controller can individually store a 

temperature setting but when the priority setting is transferred 

to the MAIN controller and the previous setting was set to 

above 50°C, it will become 50°C. When the priority setting is 

transferred to a SHOWER or ENSUITE controller, if the previous 

setting was 42°C or above, for safety reasons it will become 

42°C. If a tempering valve has been installed, the hot water 

flowing through the tempering valve will not be able to go 

above the setting set on the tempering valve e.g. 50°C.

warning

Water temperatures above 50°C can cause severe burns, 

scalding or death. Children and disabled or elderly 

persons are particularly at risk of being injured. Feel the 

water temperature before bathing or showering and do 

not leave children or disabled persons unsupervised. 

A tempering valve must be installed on the hot water 

system in order to temper any water supplying fixtures 

primarily used for the purposes of personal hygiene as 

per the Australian standards.

4.  Open a hot water tap or fixture.
5.  Ensure the “Burner On” display indicator is lit.
6.  Adjust the water temperature by using the remote 

controller and mixing cold water as required.

Note: If the "Burner On" display indicator is lit, for safety 

reasons the temperature on the MAIN controller will not 

be able to be increased above 50°C. If using a SHOWER or 

ENSUITE controller, for safety reasons the temperature will not 

be able to be increased above 42°C. If these temperatures are 

desired, first close all hot water taps or fixtures then increase 

the temperatures as desired.

7.  Close the hot water tap or fixture.
8.  Ensure the “Burner On” display indicator is off.

buttons. If you are using the MAIN controller the output 

temperature can be adjusted within the range of 37°C to 

60°C. If you are using a SHOWER or ENSUITE controller 

the output temperature can be adjusted within the range 

of 37°C to 50°C.
