H.8 Heater / Thermostat Option
The heater/thermostat option is intended to provide warming of the product
when it is exposed to particularly cold ambient temperatures.
The thermostat applies 120 VAC power to two chassis-mounted resistors, when
it senses temperatures below approximately 40 degrees F. The resistors
dissipate a combined 75 watts of power. The amount of temperature elevation
above ambient temperature that this provides depends on the thermal insulation
of the enclosure and “heat sinking” into the surface which the unit is mounted
to. The unit’s aluminum enclosure provides relatively little thermal insulation
by itself. However if RACO’s fiberglass NEMA 4X enclosure option is used, a
temperature elevation of about 75 degrees is provided.
If the unit is to be powered by something other than 120 VAC and you need a
heater/thermostat, consult factory.
