ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION - The dispenser must be disconnected from the power source until specified in Initial Set-Up.
This dispenser requires 2-wire, grounded service rated 120, 208, or 240 volts ac, 20 amp, single phase.
(Refer to the dispenser’s dataplate for exact voltage requirement.)
Electrical Hook-Up
CAUTION – Improper electrical installation will damage electronic components.
1. An electrician must provide electrical service as specified.
2. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage and color coding of each conductor at
the electrical source.
3. Remove the upper and lower rear panels. Place the tank heater switch on the
electronic control assembly in the “OFF”position.
4. Install a strain relief and the proper electrical wiring to the terminal block.
5. Connect the dispenser to the power source and verify the voltage at the termi-
nal block before proceeding. Reinstall both rear panels.
6. If plumbing is to be hooked-up later be sure the dispenser is disconnected from
the power source. If Plumbing has been hooked-up, the dispenser is ready for
Initial Set-Up .
PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
This dispenser must be connected to a COLD WATER system with operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi (138
and 620 kPa) from a 1⁄2" or larger supply line. A shut-off valve should be installed in the line before the dispenser.
Install a regulator in the line when pressure is greater than 90 psi (620 kPa) to reduce it to 50 psi (345 kPa). The
water inlet fitting is 1⁄4" flare.
NOTE - Bunn-O-Matic recommends 1⁄4" copper tubing for installations of less than 25 feet and 3⁄8" for more than
25 feet from the 1⁄2" water supply line. At least 18 inches of an FDA approved flexible beverage tubing, such as
reinforced braided polyethylene or silicone, before the dispenser will facilitate movement to clean the countertop.
It can be purchased direct from Bunn-O-Matic (part number 00326-0000). Bunn-O-Matic does not recommend
the use of a saddle valve to install the dispenser. The size and shape of the hole made in the supply line by this type
of device may restrict water flow.

TROUBLESHOOTING
A troubleshooting guide is provided to suggest probable causes and remedies for the most likely problems
encountered. If the problem remains after exhausting the troubleshooting steps, contact the Bunn-O-Matic Tech-
nical Service Department.
•Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical equipment should be performed only by qualified service person-
nel.
•All electronic components have 120 –240 volt ac and low voltage dc potential on their terminals. Shorting of
terminals or the application of external voltages may result in board failure.
•Intermittent operation of electronic circuit boards is unlikely. Board failure will normally be permanent. If an
intermittent condition is encountered, the cause will likely be a switch contact or a loose connection at a
terminal or crimp.
•Solenoid removal requires interrupting the water supply to the valve. Damage may result if solenoids are
energized for more than ten minutes without a supply of water.
•The use of two wrenches is recommended whenever plumbing fittings are tightened or loosened. This will
help to avoid twists and kinks in the tubing.
•Make certain that all plumbing connections are sealed and electrical connections tight and isolated.
•This dispenser is heated at all times. Keep away from combustibles.
WARNING
•Exercise extreme caution when servicing electrical equipment.
•Disconnect the dispenser from the power source when servicing, except when electrical tests are speci-
fied.
•Follow recommended service procedures
•Replace all protective shields or safety notices
Problem
Equipment will not operate.
Probable Cause
1. No power or incorrect voltage
2. Safety overflow switch
Remedy
(A) Check the terminal block for the cor-
rect voltage. It should be:
a.) 100 to 120 volts ac across the black and
white terminals for 100 to 120 volt models
or,
b.) 200 to 240 volts ac across the red and
black terminals for 200 to 240 volt models.
(B) Check circuit breakers or fuses.

Adjustments
This dispenser can maintain any temperature between
85 and 208°F by selecting and setting one of five vari-
able range control potentiometers.
1. Fill the dispenser according to the steps in the Ini-
tial Set-up.
2. Select the range containing the desired tempera-
ture by plugging the two-pin socket onto the mat-
ing connector of one of the range control boards.
Both pins must be connected to the socket.
3. Place the tank heater switch in the “ON”position
and observe the glowing red indicator near the right
edge of the control board. The controller is apply-
ing full power to the heater when the indicator is
on all the time. The indicator will begin to flash as
the temperature nears the set point. The set tem-
perature is reached when the indicator flashes only
very briefly. The water is hotter than the set tem-
perature when the indicator remains off. This ini-
tial setting will only be an approximation.
4. Take the temperature of the stream of water imme-
diately below the faucet as it flows from the dis-
penser with an accurate thermometer. Do not take
the temperature of water collected in a container.
5A. TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE
Turn the potentiometer screw of the temperature
range selected in step 2 in a clockwise direction
with a small screwdriver. One full turn of the screw
will result in an approximate 1°F change. Allow
the temperature to stabilize as described in step 3
and repeat step 4. Continue until the desired water
temperature is achieved.
5B. TO DECREASE THE TEMPERATURE
Turn the potentiometer screw of the temperature
range selected in step 2 in a counterclockwise di-
rection with a small screwdriver. One full turn of
the screw will result in an approximate 1°F change.
Draw a large quantity of water at the faucet, allow
the temperature to stabilize as described in step 3
and repeat step 4. Continue until the desired water
temperature is achieved.
NOTE - The entire adjustment span is approximately
25 complete revolutions. The potentiometer will cease
to adjust when turned too far in either direction. It is
not damaged, simply turn it back a few turns and try
again.
