INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT deviate from the wiring instructions as incorrect installation could cause an electrical short and create a possible fire hazard.
ALWAYS disconnect shore power to the boat BEFORE proceeding with installation.
• Secure the 9” Mounting Rail provided. You may cut the rail to provide more distance between the controller and the heater.
• Attach controller by clipping it onto the Din Rail
• Attach “Quick Release” Clip to the heater so outlet air is in the desired direction. Maintain 4”-5” clear on both sides of the heater to insure proper air flow. Plug heater into controller. Each element is 400Watts and the controller will allow 3 elements.

Ignition Protection—Use of a marine rated plug is acceptable, but to maintain ignition protection, plug-in connections must be outside the engine compartment. Hard wired connections within the engine compartment must be in accordance with accepted marine industry standards and contained within a marine approved junction box. In all cases, the 120 VAC power source must be fuse or breaker protected.

NOTE: Certain standard making organizations have established rules for wiring aboard boats. Those rules applicable to your situation should be followed. If you are unsure of what rules apply to your boat, please call us or ask a marine electrician for assistance.

Please use the wiring key below as a guide for hard wiring your MiniMax® System or attaching to a marine rated plug.
WIRING KEY:
Green = Ground Black = Hot White = Neutral
To ensure proper and safe operation, the black (hot), white (neutral) and green (ground heater leads must be connected to the corresponding leads of the boat’s 120 VAC wiring harness or of the shore power supply using acceptable methods and marine grade
connectors. It is strongly recommended that wires be traced to the source, either visually or by electrical continuity testing, to confirm consistent color-coding. For plug-in connections, proper wiring of 120 VAC outlets can be confirmed with an inexpensive
polarity tester available in the electrical section of most hardware stores. If in doubt, please obtain the services of a qualified marine electrician to complete the installation.

TESTING:
The Minimax® System has a built-in test feature. Press and hold the test button on top of the controller and the heater will immediately start producing warmth.
