TO CHECK OR ADJUST THE PRESET OUTLET TEMPERATURE SETTING 
The temperature settings will be displayed on the LED display. The preset outlet temperature settings are: 
  862 series  38°C, 40°C, 42°C, 43°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C, 82°C 
It is necessary to have the electrical supply to the water heater switched on during stages of checking or 
adjusting the preset outlet temperature setting procedure. 
  Warning:  The  removal  of  the  front  panel  will  expose  240 volt  wiring.  Take  care  not  to  touch  wiring 
terminals. The adjustment must be carried out by a qualified person. 
 Warning: This procedure will involve the adjustment of dip switches. Adjustment of a dip switch should 
only be made with an insulated tool. 
To check or adjust the preset outlet temperature setting: 
1.  Switch off the electrical supply at the power outlet to the water heater. 
2.  Remove the screws holding the front panel to the jacket. 
3.  Gently disengage the front panel and pull forward to remove from the 
water heater. 
4.  Switch on the electrical supply at the power outlet to the water heater. 
5.  Switch dip switches 3 and 4 to the on (up) position on the DIP 1 set of 
DIP switches on the I.C. Board. 
The  current  preset  outlet  temperature  setting  will  show  on  the  LED 
display. 
If the temperature displayed on the LED display is the desired preset 
outlet  temperature  setting,  then  proceed  to  step 7,  as  no  further 
adjustment is necessary. 
6.  Press the MAX button to increase or the MIN button to decrease the 
preset outlet temperature setting. 
Each press  of  the  MAX  or  MIN  button will  increase  or  decrease  the 
preset temperature by one increment. 
The MAX  and MIN  buttons are located underneath the DIP 1  and 
DIP 2 set of DIP switches. 
862 series 
The increments are 38, 40, 42, 43, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 82. 
Set the LED display to 82 on an 862 series water heater if it is required 
to deliver sanitising temperatures. 
7.  Switch dip switches 3 and 4 to the off (down) position. 
The LED display will go blank. The preset outlet temperature setting is 
now set. 
8.  Switch off the electrical supply at the power outlet to the water heater.
