29、lectric 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 may or may not be intended for use wi
30、th 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 Glossary 2.1 For the purpose of this s
31、tandard 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 function is produced by initiation which
32、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 requires direct human interaction to
33、 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 control is a temperature regulating
34、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 of the appliance. During the evaluatio
35、n 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 its operating value, operating time, o
36、r 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. tripping of the control) is independent
37、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 referred to as trip
38、-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 not reset automat
39、ically at any temperature above -35C (-31F) with the reset mechanism in the normal position.

40、ON 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 for the reverse operation (resetting
41、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 particles, and that is protected against humi
42、dity 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-voltage circuit is one involving a potenti
43、al 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 transformer. A circuit derived from a source
44、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 control operates on a rise or fall of the
45、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 by actuation performed by the user. 3
46、 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 would be considered a Safety Critical
47、 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 anticipate
48、d environments of the appliance. 3.3 Electronic circuits managing Safety Critical Functions shall comply with: a) Supplement SA; or b) The Standard for Automatic Electrical Controls Part 1: General Requirements, UL 60730-1 and its Part 2s as specied in this standard. The function shall be considered
49、 Class B; or c) The Standard for Temperature-Indicating and -Regulating Equipment, UL 873, and the Standard for Tests for Safety-Related Controls Employing Solid-State Devices, UL 991, requirements specied in Supplement SB.
