INSTALLATION

Summer/Winter Switch

To allow a choice of fan operation of the electric unit heater 

for heating and/or ventilation, a summer/winter toggle switch 

kit is available for field installation. In the winter position 

the thermostat will cycle the fan on and off with the heating 

elements. In the summer position the fan runs continuously 

for ventilation while the heating elements are controlled by the 

thermostat. This position can also be used in winter to reduce 

ceiling air stratification and reduce ceiling heat loss. Refer to 

separate bulletin included in the kit for installation and wiring.

Low-Voltage Control

Low-voltage control is available for field installation on vertical 

electric unit heaters. The control permits use of a low-voltage 

thermostat that can also provide closer temperature control. 

Models VE and PTE 300, 400, 500 cannot operate in two stages 

with this control and a low-voltage thermostat, but will respond 

with full operation of all elements.
