Wire connections -- Line Vs. Load. Working with 240v. My unit does not cut off at all and builds excessive pressure causing leeks. Wires are black & w

Lyle I had the same problem on a 120v line. The pressure got so high it burst a section of pipe. You will find the contacts are pitted or burned, If not check the spring action it may be jammed.

Turn the circuit breaker off then double check your wiring. You should have 4 wires, a white & a black which is line in, and another set of white and black wires which is line out or load. If it looks okay check your settings., the cut-in should be set at about 30 lbs and the cut out should be about 60 lbs. If all that is okay you may have a defective control. Make sure you turn the circuit breaker on after you finish checking the above. If you can't tell which is line-in you may need a voltage meter to check it. Good luck.

Line vs. load- I usually use the center two screws as load and the outer two as line in. You are getting power to the pump or it wouldn't be working. Try backing the cut out control nut out to reduce pressure "the one with the short spring located off center". If all else fails remove the switch and unscrew the backing plate, remove the diaphragm. You can test the switch manually by pressing on the center of the mechanism with your thumbs. Also while you have it apart look through the inlet pipe. The actual water inlet hole is quite small and can become clogged. Reassembly doesn't require any kind of sealant.

You definitely have to wire this into your 240v circuit. No plug on this unit. Hope this helps.

Honestly I had the same problem. the wires aren't lined up right. you have them matched incorrectly. hard to know without a diagram. I had someone help me with a lead tester. that helped to at least identify the hot wires. then you just match them up to the right ones on the unit.

I used 2 110 breakers that are next to each other a black wire in each one, white wire to ground. You can use a dedicated 240 breaker if you wantbut 2 110 breakers next to each other will do the same thing. I called the seller and that the way he said to hook it up.Jay Trumbojt61@hotmail.com

Generally the black is hot and white is neutral with single phase av current. With two phase such as 220 v both phases are hot in reference to neutral so black goes to one phase and red to the other. Do not connect the current meter to voltage source, only to the supplied transformer. General answer is it should not matter but I would try to make black the hot lead.

I went out and looked at my connection, and had to laugh. I now remember the pain. My line from the utility is a female quick connect. My line from the grill was way larger, and there are about 5 brass fittings in between to get it to downsize and result in a male/ female proper interconnect. It's not rocket science, but takes some thought. For some reason, I think this is complicated between British (Weber) and U.S. normal configs. Again, a good store that sells grills and a picture and measurement of your two starting ends (grill and gas connection) will help.

Hi Beth, the first thing you need to know is that having a black, white, and red wire is perfectly normal in a 240 volt circut, and this unit is designed to accomodate both a 2-wire and 3-wire install. I have installed several of these units in my shore house and all of the installations were two wire. Since in many cases a picture is worth a thousand words, copy and paste the following link into your computers browser and have a look at the pictures for both the 2-wire and 3-wire insallation. I think when you see the 3-wire installation diagram your question will be answered. I hope this helps and wish you the best of luck. https://customer.honeywell.com/resources/techlit/TechLitDocuments/69-0000s/69-1917EF.pdf

wires are green, white, and black are for 120 Vac single phase. This plug is for 120/240 Vac two pole. You need 4 wires cable with min 30 amps current

I connected using 120 volt power. It was simple - I bought a 16 gauge electric appliance replacement cord from Home Depot and wired it directly into the box. After that, all you have to do is to plug it in!

I wanna say check wire diagram , look for wire labeled "park" (or similar). I will look into this issue for ya, if not resolved already.

You may have wired the primary coil for 240V. Check the AC power leads again. If you have 2 pairs of different colored primary AC wires try pairing one of each color for 120V AC connection.

Sorry you are out of luck. This particular switch requires 3 wires and a ground - you should return it. Some other switches only require 2 wires. Your two wires are both "hot", usually black wires, the line and load they are called. This switch also requires white/neutral and should also be grounded - green.

I believe it should work --- if not directly, then by using the ground, neutral, and single "hot" wire with the pressure switch to activate a relay controlling the 240 volts. (I am assuming the 240 consists of 4 wires --- two "hots", one neutral, and one ground. If this is not so, then disregard my comments.) Square D offers several models with specified pre-set on/off points. Their switches are easy enough to "tune" to your particular needs. Some models include extra-easy "external" adjusters. Within reason, you can raise or lower the on/off points together or tune them individually. Good luck; I think you can do it.

What you have there is a Nema 6-20P 240V appliance. Leg1+Leg2+Ground instead of Leg1+Neutral+Ground. You can't run such an appliance off 120V (unless you use a step-up transformer). The easiest and least expensive solution is probably to install a 240V circuit.

Do have a GFI. If so the outlet is below standard and will not take the voltage being drawn from the heater. Do not use it without upgrading your breaker and outlet female plug. If your wire set up is not up to code you might have a fire hazard without replacing socket, wires and breaker.

I've used these units for years and never experienced this condition. I'm not an electrical engineer, but something is definitely wrong. The circuit you are plugging into may have an open ground. You can plug in an inexpensive circuit tester to test your line before contacting Farm Innovators. These heaters have to operate in a tough environment and I've seen they go for years.

I own two of these units with no such problems. Possibly the wire on yours may have gotten pinched there by shorting itself out.
