29、CTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements 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, b
30、athing, or partial or total immersion of persons, may be involved. Equipment covered 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
31、storage tank water heaters or other equipment covered by individual requirements. 1.3 Deleted June 25, 2004 2 Components Section 2 revised and relocated as Section 3A.1 April 22, 2014 3 Glossary 3.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 3.2 ACTUATION Movement of the actuati
32、ng member of the control by the user, by hand, by foot, or by any other human activity. 3.2 added April 22, 2014 3.3 CONTROL, AUTOMATIC ACTION A device in which the transmission and operation of at least one function is produced by initiation which is not the result of manual actuation. 3.3 added Ap
33、ril 22, 2014 3.4 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. 3.3 relocated as 3.4 April 22, 2014 3.5 CONTROL, MANUAL A device that requires direct human inte
34、raction to activate or test the control. 3.5 added April 22, 2014 3.6 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 c
35、ontrol is a temperature regulating control a control that maintains the temperature of the spa water to a user-determined level. 3.6 revised April 22, 2014 3.7 CONTROL, PROTECTIVE A device, the operation of which is intended to reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or injury to persons during norma
36、l or abnormal operation of the appliance. During the evaluation of the protective control / circuit, the protective functions are veried under normal and single-fault conditions of the control. 3.7 added April 22, 2014 APRIL 22, 2014 ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS FOR POOLS AND TUBS - UL 1261 7UL COPYRIGHTE
37、D MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 3.8 CONTROL, TYPE 2 ACTION The actuation of an automatic control (see 3.3) for which the manufacturing deviation and the drift of its operating value, operating time, or operating sequence have been declare
38、d and tested under the Standard for Automatic Electrical Controls for Household and Similar Use, Part 1: General Requirements, UL 60730-1. 3.8 added April 22, 2014 3.9 CONTROL, TYPE 2.D.H ACTION This action is applicable to manual controls (see 3.5). The automatic action (i.e. tripping of the contro
39、l) 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. This action is also r
40、eferred 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. The control shall
41、 not reset automatically at any temperature above -35C (-31F) with the reset mechanism in the normal position. 3.9 added April 22, 2014 3.10 CONTROL, TYPE 2.D.J ACTION This action is applicable to manual controls (see 3.5). The automatic action (i.e. tripping of the control) is independent of the ma
42、nipulation or position of the manual reset/adjustment mechanism. The manipulation of the manual adjustment means will not allow 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 3.
43、10 added April 22, 2014 3.11 CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT An environment that is relatively free from conductive contaminants, such as dust and carbon particles, and that is protected against humidity and condensation. A controlled environment may be provided by a hermetically sealed enclosure, encapsulat
44、ion, or a conformal coating. 3.11 added April 22, 2014 3.12 HOT TUB A tub intended for partial or total immersion of persons in heated water. 3.2 relocated as 3.12 April 22, 2014 3.13 LOW-VOLTAGE CIRCUITS A low-voltage circuit is one involving a potential of not more than 30 volts rms (42.4 volts pe
45、ak) 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 transformer. A circuit derived from a source of supply at line voltage by connecting resista
46、nce in series with the supply as a means of limiting the voltage and current is not considered to be a low-voltage circuit. 3.4 relocated as 3.13 April 22, 2014 3.14 OPERATING TEMPERATURE VALUE Value of temperature at which the temperature sensing control operates on a rise or fall of the temperatur
47、e. 3.14 added April 22, 2014 3.15 TEMPERATURE SETTING BY THE USER Any selection of an operating temperature value by actuation performed by the user. 3.15 added April 22, 2014 APRIL 22, 2014 ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS FOR POOLS AND TUBS - UL 1261 8UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRO
