Heating (water only)
Temperature of one gallon of water will be
raised by 100 oF (56 oC) in one hour (max)
at an ambient temperature of 70 OF (21 oC)
using HI switch setting.
Temperature of one gallon of water will
be raised by 100 oF (56 oC) in one hour
(max) at an ambient temperature of 70
oF (21 oC) using the II switch setting.
Heating (rations + water)
Temperature of up to five MRE entrees and
40 fluid ounces of water will be raised to
between 150 oF (66 oC) and 160 oF (71 oC)
at an ambient temperature of 70 oF (21 oC)
using Hl switch setting.
Temperature of up to five MRE entrees

185°F ± 5°F (85°C ± 2.8°C) at an
ambient temperature of 70°F (21°C)
using the III switch setting.
Heat retention
Better than 45% of the selected heating
range at 3 hours after HWR is turned off with
the cover closed and latched.

Section III. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
1-14. HWR FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
a. PL1. Electrical connector, which accepts the 22 - 28 V dc, power supply via a suitable power cable (not
part of the HWR) from the host vehicle electrical system.
b. Input Circuit. Electronic network that protects against reverse polarity connection of the power supply
and overvoltage surges in excess 39 V dc (Model RAK-15 only). For Model 471012, if it does not receive the
correct polarity, it will malfunction in a hazardous manner even with the switch in the OFF (0) position.
c. 16 V Power Supply. Provides a stabilized supply of +16 V dc to power the electronic circuits for Model
RAK-15.
d. Low Voltage Detector. Electronic circuit that monitors the power supply and activates the heater off latch
if the voltage level falls below 22 V dc for Model RAK-15. The undervoltage protection feature for Model
471012 shuts off power to the unit when supply voltage drops below 20 V dc.
