ELECTRIC HEATER ACCESSORY (6HK SERIES)

FOR USE WITH MODELS:  AHR / AHE / AHV / RFCX*E / RFCX*P

GENERAL INFORMATION

These instructions cover the installation of the following electric
heater models with AHR, AHE, and AHV single piece air han-
dlers. The 6HK series of electric heat kits use a single polarized
plug to easily connect the air handler power and controls.

These electric heat accessories are used for applications of
cooling with electric heat and heat pump with electric heat.
Each of the air handler unit models are approved for use with
specific electric heat accessories. The air handler unit installa-
tion instructions or name plate list the possible combinations
and other important electrical data and limitations. Refer to unit
instructions for further electrical specifications.

CLEARANCE

All installations of the 6HK electric heater kits are approved for
zero-clearance to combustibles when the minimum speed tap
on the blower motor is set per the air handler installation
instruction or nameplate. See air handler installation instruc-
tions for more information on changing motor speed taps.
