Ports to connect to on The Attendant:
HEATERS: H1- H5 on The Attendant or H1 – H2 on The Attendant Mini
These devices should only be powered directly from the power center or breaker panel. Do not run electricity through a relay as The Attendant will control the device to turn on/off by using the communication cable.
DO NOT Connect the remote wiring to a RS485 terminal. It will cause irreversible damage to the circuit board.
Built Right Heaters can only be controlled using legacy Dry Contact connections. This connection type allows The Attendant to control the heat pumps on/off state to manage the desired water temperature set point.
Remote Wiring Connections – Heat Only
Turn off power to the Built Right Heater.
Connect a two-wire 22 AWG conductor cable to the P/S terminals on the Built Right Heater control board located in the main electrical box.
Connect the other end of the cable to an open heater port on The Attendant. Refer to the diagram below.
Once wiring is completed, close up the electrical panel on the heat pump and restore power.
Programming Heat Pump – Heat Only
