Does the EPH IMC work with all 3kW immersion heaters?

It is designed for single, dual, or twin element 3kW heaters, but please verify your specific wiring configuration with an electrician.

Can I set more than three on/off periods?

What is the function of the PIN lock?

The PIN lock allows a landlord or administrator to secure the settings, preventing end-users from modifying the heating schedule.

Is the unit compatible with older Electronic 7 systems?

Yes, the IMC is specifically designed to act as a direct replacement for most existing Electronic 7 or traditional manual controllers.

What is the longest boost duration available?

The boost function can be set for up to 3 hours in various increments.

How long is the warranty period?

The EPH Immersion Heater Controller comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty.

Troubleshooting

Display is blank or unresponsive

Check the local circuit breaker to ensure power is reaching the unit and confirm that the unit is securely seated on the back box.

Boost function is not activating

Verify that the PIN lock is disabled and that there are no wiring faults detected in the heating element circuit.

Heating does not start during scheduled times

Ensure the device clock is set to the correct current time and double-check that the programmed ON periods are correctly saved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The IMC is designed as a drop-in replacement for standard electronic and manual immersion controllers, fitting into industry-standard back boxes. Because the device handles high-voltage electrical connections, installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes. For maintenance, keep the exterior clean by wiping it with a dry, lint-free cloth; avoid the use of chemical cleaners or liquids near the screen. The internal clock and settings are typically maintained by a battery backup, but it is good practice to check the display settings if you experience a prolonged power outage.
