Caution , Risk of malfunction: In case alteration ( drilling holes or other ) to the electrical compartment , ensure proper protection of all electrical components installed . Chips may cause short circuit or effect operatin of electrical components .

General This document is to be used for all Duct ? AHU /FCU heaters installation unless the heater is used in apiece of equipment supersedes this documnent . In the case, it is the responsibility of the end user equipment manufacturer to have performed testing for the end use application

Application Information

Follow the procedure given on the sheet to find the minimum air velocity for safe operation. At least this minimum velocity must be provided at all points over the heater face area. Failure to meet this requirement may result in serious damage or nuisance thermal cutout tripping.

In the duct which may result in no uniform airflow. Duct elbows/ turns / fan of filters must be located at least 4 feet from the inlet of the heater and 2 free from the outlet of the heaters.

Mechanical Installation

  • All heaters are suitable for installation with zero spacing between the duct and combustible surfaces.
  • The heater must be installed in the correct position as shown by the arrows marked on the terminal box.
  • Sufficient clearance for convention cooling must be allowed for all heaters with built-in SCR power controllers. Provide at least 5 inches of free air space above and below cooling fins extending from heater terminal box.
  • Flange Type Heaters

  • 1. Provide flanges on the duct to match the heater flanges, both the entering and leaving air sides.
  • 2. Attach the duct flanges to the heater flanges with bolts, sheet metal screws of slip and drive connectors when the heater has matching connectors for the purpose.
  • Slip-In Type Heaters

  • 1 - Cut a hole in the side of the duct to accommodate the body of the heater (excluding terminal box). This hole should be 1/8" larger than the heater frame.
  • 2 - Slip the heater into the duct and attach the back of the terminal box to the duct with sheet metal screws.
  • Electrical Installation

  • 1. Follow the wiring diagram pasted inside of the terminal box.
  • 2. Supply connections must be made with copper wiring rates for 75 degree C minimum.
  • 3. If supply connections are for 230 volts or greater, all wiring must be insulated for 600 volts.
  • 4. When making line connections to heater element terminal, must be tight properly otherwise damage to terminal may result.
  • 5. Supply conductors for heaters rated Kw, must be sized at 125% of rates load. The line current of either a single or three phase load is calculated as follows:

    Single Phase Line Current = Kw x 1000/ Voltage

    Three Phase Line Current = Kw x 1000 / Voltage x 1.73

  • 6. The heater must be wired so that it cannot operate unless air is flowing over it. This can be accomplished by using a built-in Air Pressure Differential Switch. See the wring diagram for the method used with this heater and provide appropriate interlock wiring as illustrated.
  • 7. All electrical connections in the heater, including both field and factory made connections, should be checked for tightness before operating the heater. In addition after a short period of operation, all connections should again be checked for tightness.
  • 8. If heater is wired to a heating/cooling thermostat, use a thermostat with isolating circuits to prevent possible interconnection.
