If it is incorrectly installed, remove the two screws hold-
ing the pressure probe in place and rotate 180° and re-
install. The airflow switch pressure port that is not con-
nected to this pressure probe will be run to the exterior
of the AHU to source a reference differential pressure.
In some situations it may be necessary to adjust this
airflow switch setting to allow for proper operation as
shown in
. Take precautions
to make sure that the airflow switch does not indicate
false airflow.
Visually inspect the heater elements, prior to using the
heater. If physical damage is evident, use a megohm
test to validate the heater elements are safe use. If a
minimum value of 10 megohms is not achieved, then
any damaged elements or ceramic insulators must be
replaced, prior to operation.
Electrical Installation
1. Follow the wiring diagram on the inside of the ter-
minal box.
2. Make supply connections with copper wiring rated
for 75°C minimum.
3. If supply connections are for 250 volts or greater,
all wiring must be insulated for 600 volts.
4. When making line connections to heater element
terminals for finned tubular heaters only, apply a
1/4 in. wrench to the flat section of the terminal
immediately below threads. Otherwise, damage
to the terminal may result.
5. Size supply conductors for heaters rated less than
50 kW at 125% of rated load. On heaters rated
50 kW and greater, size the supply conductors at
100% of rated load, if indicated on the wiring dia-
gram. The line current for a single or three phase
load is calculated as follows:
kW x 1000
Voltage
Single Phase
Line Current =
kW x 1000
Voltage x 1.73
Three Phase
Line Current =

rent for 75°C copper wire with no more than three
conductors in a raceway, which is based on the
NEC - Table 310-16. The amperages are 125%
and 100% wire sizes. If there are more than three
conductors in a raceway, de-rate these amper-
ages per
When connecting heaters with more than one stage,
wire stage No. 1 so that it is the first stage on, and the
last stage off.
7. Wire the heater so that it cannot operate unless
air is flowing over it, which can be accomplished
by using a built-in airflow switch and a remote in-
terlock. See the wiring diagram located inside of
the electric heater control panel for the method
used with the heater and provide appropriate in-
terlock wiring as illustrated.
8. If not supplied as part of the heater, install a line
disconnect switch or main circuit breaker in ac-
cordance with the NEC. Depending upon the
heater’s location and accessibility, a built-in dis-
connect switch may meet this requirement.
9. Check all electrical connections in the heater, in-
cluding both field and factory made connections,
for tightness before operating the heater. After a
short period of operation, check all connections
again for tightness.
