INSTALLATION (Recessed Wall)
WIRING
Note:
All wiring should be done in accordance with local codes
and the National Electrical Code by a qualified person.
1.
Run branch circuit wiring of proper voltage and wire size to the
location of the terminal box of the heater.
TIP:
Supply wire entry is commonly made into one heater.
Through wiring (factory furnished) can be used for connection
to adjacent heaters.
Recommended minimum supply wire sizes are listed in the table
below:
2.
Wire all heaters and controls in accordance with the appropri-
ate wiring diagram.
TIP:
Sample wiring diagrams are provided on page 4.
3.
Wrap the supply ground wire to the green painted ground
screw and tighten.
Note:
When heaters are mounted end to end, remove the fin-
ishing end plate, install a chase nipple and locknut in the ter-
minal box to insure grounding continuity, and to protect the
wiring. (Figure 4)
Where heaters are spaced apart, remove the finishing plate and use
rigid conduit (provided by customer) for through wiring and
ground continuity. Do not exceed the allowable number of con-
ductors allowed by the National Electrical Code.
4.
Do a final and complete check of all wiring then replace the
terminal box covers.
5.
The front panel may now be installed.
WARNING:
To prevent the risk of fire, do not oper-
ate the heater without the front cover in place.
Insert the top of the front panel into the top flange of the heater.
Push the bottom flange of the front panel into place and secure
with screws.
Maintenance
The CAF-20 series heaters contain no moving parts. Occasional
vacuum cleaning of the cabinet interior is the only maintenance
required.
