4.2 Main Electrical Connection
Personally verify that the main circuit is OFF and Locked-Out before making
any wiring connections. Use only copper conductors. All wiring installations should meet
National Electric Code (NEC) and local guidelines. Canadian wiring installations should be
done in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.
1. Have a certified electrician install a wall mounted junction box near the heater cabinet. It
is recommended that the box be switchable with a lock-out feature. Provide wiring to the
junction box from the building service panel (with main power off). Verify the use of a
dedicated circuit, 115VAC/single phase, 10 Amp circuit breaker (15 Amp maximum per
UL) - wired to code for the size and type of service used.
2. Use flexible metal conduit with white, black, and green wires, NEC size 14 AWG.
3. Remove cabinet wire box cover.
4. A standard knockout hole is provided on the back side of the wiring box for installing
the power wires. Strip the ends of the wires approximately ½-inch.
5. On the cabinet wire box terminal block, connect the black wire (hot) to the terminal
marked BLK, the white wire (neutral) to the terminal marked WHT and the green
ground wire to the terminal marked GND. To install the wires, push down on the
corresponding button (cross) on top of the terminal block and insert the stripped end of
wire into the terminal hole. Gently tug on the wire to make sure that the connection is
secure.
6. Reinstall cabinet wire box cover.
7. During normal usage, the power to the heater should remain on, so the oil remains hot
and ready to fire. If the heater will not be used for extended periods (such as during
the summer), the power should be shut off.
