31、rements cover permanently installed electric water heaters, rated 600 volts or less, for heating the water supplied through plumbing to separately heated public or private pools or tubs, in which swimming, wading, bathing, or partial or total immersion of persons, may be involved. Equipment covered

32、may or may not be intended for use with external water circulating equipment, and is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 1.2 These requirements do not cover household storage tank water heaters or other equipment covered by individual requirements. 2 G

33、lossary 2.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 2.2 ACTUATION Movement of the actuating member of the control by the user, by hand, by foot, or by any other human activity. 2.3 CONTROL, AUTOMATIC ACTION A device in which the transmission and operation of at least one func

34、tion is produced by initiation which is not the result of manual actuation. 2.4 CONTROL, LIMITING A control intended to limit the operation of the heater to a water temperature of 70C (158F) under all conditions, including breakdown of any or all operating controls. 2.5 CONTROL, MANUAL A device that

35、 requires direct human interaction to activate or test the control. 2.6 CONTROL, OPERATING A device that starts or regulates the operation of an appliance during normal operation. The failure of an operational control generally causes the operation of a protective control. An example of an operating

36、 control is a temperature regulating control a control that maintains the temperature of the spa water to a user-determined level. 2.7 CONTROL, PROTECTIVE A device, the operation of which is intended to reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or injury to persons during normal or abnormal operation o

37、f the appliance. During the evaluation of the protective control / circuit, the protective functions are veried under normal and single-fault conditions of the control. 2.8 CONTROL, TYPE 2 ACTION The actuation of an automatic control (see 2.3) for which the manufacturing deviation and the drift of i

38、ts operating value, operating time, or operating sequence have been declared and tested under the Standard for Automatic Electrical Controls Part 1: General Requirements, UL 60730-1. 2.9 CONTROL, TYPE 2.D.H ACTION This action is applicable to manual controls (see 2.5). The automatic action (i.e. tri

39、pping of the control) is independent of the manipulation or position of the manual reset/adjustment mechanism. The manipulation of the manual adjustment means will not allow for the reverse operation (resetting of a tripped control), even momentarily, while the excess or fault condition persists. Th

40、is action is also referred to as trip-free action. The action of the control is such that the reverse operation (resetting) is possible if the manual reset mechanism is held in the reset position i.e. the control will function as an automatic control if the reset button is held in the reset position

41、. The control shall not reset automatically at any temperature above -35C (-31F) with the reset mechanism in the normal position.

42、FROM UL 2.10 CONTROL, TYPE 2.D.J ACTION This action is applicable to manual controls (see 2.5). The automatic action (i.e. tripping of the control) is independent of the manipulation or position of the manual reset/adjustment mechanism. The manipulation of the manual adjustment means will not allow

43、for the reverse operation (resetting of the control), even momentarily, while the excess or fault condition persists. This action is also referred to as trip-free action. 2.11 CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT An environment that is relatively free from conductive contaminants, such as dust and carbon particle

44、s, and that is protected against humidity and condensation. A controlled environment may be provided by a hermetically sealed enclosure, encapsulation, or a conformal coating. 2.12 HOT TUB A tub intended for partial or total immersion of persons in heated water. 2.13 LOW-VOLTAGE CIRCUITS A low-volta

45、ge circuit is one involving a potential of not more than 30 volts rms (42.4 volts peak) supplied by a primary battery, by a standard Class 2 transformer, or by a combination of a transformer and a xed impedance that, as a unit, complies with all of the performance requirements for a Class 2 transfor

46、mer. A circuit derived from a source of supply at line voltage by connecting resistance in series with the supply as a means of limiting the voltage and current is not considered to be a low-voltage circuit. 2.14 OPERATING TEMPERATURE VALUE Value of temperature at which the temperature sensing contr

47、ol operates on a rise or fall of the temperature. 2.15 SAFETY CRITICAL FUNCTION Control, protection and monitoring functions which are being relied upon to reduce the risk of re, electric shock or casualty hazards. 2.16 TEMPERATURE SETTING BY THE USER Any selection of an operating temperature value

48、by actuation performed by the user. 3 Safety Critical Functions 3.1 Any function involved in the control, protection, and monitoring of safety-related attributes of a unit whereby a loss/malfunction of its functionality would represent an unacceptable risk of re, electric shock, or casualty hazards

49、would be considered a Safety Critical Function. 3.2 Electronic circuits that manage a Safety Critical Function shall be: a) Reliable as dened as being able to maintain the Safety Critical Function in the event of single dened component faults and b) Not susceptible to electromagnetic environmental stresses encountered in the anticipated environments of the appliance. 3.3 Electronic circuits managing Safety Critical Functions shall comply with: a) Supplement SA; or b) The
