9A WIRING KIT INSTRUCTIONS (follow these if you have the wiring kit as per Figure 4.1)

Note: As per the wiring diagram, the thermostat and element should be connected to the

Elon® SEPARATELY (independently).

d. For TSE and Thermowatt (RTS) thermostats, connect the connectors marked “thermostat”

on the Elon® directly to the two screw terminals on the thermostat and short the two male

terminals at the bottom of the thermostat together, using the bridging wire with female

connectors supplied with the Elon® 100 (Figures 4.3 and 4.4). (Less than 20 mA DC current

will flow through this wire – it is a sensing current only.) There must be no connection

between the thermostat and the element.

e. Connect the two element terminals directly to the connectors marked “element” on the

Elon®. For flange-type elements, use the supplied wiring with element connector (Figures

4.5 and 4.6). Make sure that the element connector fits tightly into the element and that

the two male spade terminals of the connector are slotted correctly into the female

terminals of the element. Crimp both terminals (you can do this through the plastic cover)

to ensure a tight fit on both sides.

f. Slide the thermostat (with bridging wire installed) into the thermostat pocket in the

element as deep as it can go. (Slide it in rotated 180 ° from its normal orientation.)

g. Continue with instructions from STEP 10.
