WARNING

HEATING ELEMENT MAY BECOME WARM. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NECESSARY TO AVOID INJURY TO THE BODY. DO NOT PROCEED UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFETY PROCAUTIONS NECESSARY WHEN WORKING WITH LIVE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS.

CAUTION STATEMENTS
Flashing indicator lights suggest a potential problem, inspect and remove from service if
necessary. The back-up thermostat (1-TAS) should never operate if the control thermostat (2-TAS) remains functional. In the event both thermostats fail, the water can overheat. It is important that the temperature of the water be checked frequently to insure a safe water temperature at/or below 95°F (35°C). ° °

1. The Encon Heated Gravity Fed Eyewash has been tested to -20°F (-29°C). The three conditions listed below must be satisfied before the heating element is energized. a) Float Switch (1-FS): The tank should be filled to the fill-line. Note: If water level falls below the float, the float switch OPENS, de-activating the heater (1-HTR). A flashing red light will indicate this condition. This feature is intended to prevent the heater unit from burning out. b) The control thermostat (2-TAS) senses the water temperature and controls the heater (1-HTR). When water temperature reaches 85° to 90°F (29°C to 32°C), 2-TAS will OPEN and 1-HTR is de-energized. When water temperature falls below 85° (29°C), 2-TAS will reset (CLOSE) to energize the 1-HTR. c) The back-up thermostat (1-TAS) CLOSES when water temperature reaches 95°F (35°C). A flashing red light will indicate this condition. 1-TAS will only CLOSE in the event the control thermostat (2-TAS) fails. 1-TAS will reset (OPEN) when water temperature falls below 95° (35°C). 2. Clean tank with mild soap and water as needed. Rinse thoroughly and refill with clean potable water to appropriate fill-line and add Hydrosep water preservative. Hydrosep water preservative should be added when filling the unit after use, cleaning or testing. Follow directions on Hydrosep bottle. 3. Keep tray closed to protect eyewash heads and shut off water. Do not lean on tray when in open position.

4. Activate once per week for 15 sections to flush lines and verify proper operation. Refill to appropriate fill-line after each test with clean potable water. It is not necessary to add Hydrosep® if instruction #3 (above) is followed. 5. Tank should be drained, flushed, and refilled with clean potable water and Hydrosep water preservative approximately every 60 days and not to exceed 180 days. More often if conditions warrants. 6. Disconnect power source before servicing heating unit. 7. The heating unit assembly should be inspected at each cleaning cycle or refill of the tank. 8. If the heating unit is removed from the tank for a period of time, the tank opening should be covered to keep the tank free from debris. Locate cap tucked between the insulated jacket and the back of tank. The cap can be used to close the opening. 9. Inspect power cord and junction box for visible damage. 10. To inspect junction box loosen the four (4) screws and remove junction box lid. There should be no dust or moisture present. 11. Check for loose wires, ensure terminal screws are tight and free of corrosion. 12. Check relay plate screw is tight and relay is secure. 13. Inspect PVC joints of the thermostat and float assemblies for cracks. Dry and reseal with PVC cement or replace, if necessary.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION: In the following steps, the heater element may become warm
and should not be touched or come in contact with combustible materials.

FIGURE 4 ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC

Before proceeding with testing, open junction box lid to ensure all terminal screws are tight and free of corrosion. Test unit for proper operation by: 1. Grip the junction box with hand and carefully lift up vertically to remove heating unit out of the tank. Ensure the float switch (1-FS) is at the lower limit of its stroke. Plug-in power cord of the heating unit assembly into a suitable functional 120V electrical outlet. Is green light lit? a. YES. Go to Step 2. b. If NO, and there is electrical power at the source, have an electrician check unit circuitry in accordance with Figure 4. If repairs are necessary and made, repeat Step 1. 2. With the heating unit still plugged in, raise float to the upper limit of its stroke for about 2 to 3 seconds. Is orange light lit? a. YES. This indicates the float switch (1-FS) is CLOSED. Go to Step 5. b. NO. Relay (1-CR) or float switch (1-FS) is not functioning. Control thermostat (2-TAS) is OPEN. Go to Step. 3 3. Have an electrician perform an electrical continuity test on the relay (1-CR) using a volt/ohm meter wired to #4 and #3 connections. (NOTE: Temperature must be below 95° to ensure 1-TAS remains OPEN.) Is an electrical continuity indicated on the relay? a. YES. Go to Step 4. b. NO. Replace relay (1-CR). Repeat Step 2. Have an electrician check float switch electrical continuity by disconnecting the float switch wires in the junction box (see Figure 4). Attach wire to a volt/ohm meter and check electrical continuity by engaging the switch. Is an electrical continuity indicated on the float switch? a. YES. Go to Step 5. b. NO. Replace float switch (1-FS). Repeat Step 2. Unplug the power cord and immerse the thermostat/float switch tee assembly in cold water (less than 60°F / 16°C) for approximately 5 minutes. This should be sufficient time to reset (CLOSE) the control thermostat (2-TAS) and low temperature thermostat (3-TAS). Go to Step 6. Remove assembly from cold water and plug-in the power cord into a suitable functional 120V electrical outlet. Is the orange light lit (indicating the heater [1-HTR] is energized)? Is the yellow light flashing (indicating the low temperature thermostat [3-TAS] is CLOSED)? a. YES. Go to Step 7. b. NO. Contact Encon Customer Service at 1-800-283-6266 for discussion and instructions on returning heating unit assembly for evaluation. With the heating unit still plugged in, return heating unit assembly to cold water (less than 60°F / 16°C) and monitor water temperature until orange light turns off. Flashing yellow light will turn off when the water temperature reaches 70°F (21°C). a. If water temperature is between 85°and 95°F (29° and 35°C) and orange and yellow lights are off, replace heating unit assembly in tank and place eyewash unit back in service. b. If water temperature does not reach 85°F (29°C) or exceeds 95°F (35°C), which is indicated by flashing red light, contact Encon Customer Service at 1-800-283-6266 for discussion and instructions on returning heating unit assembly for evaluation.
