2.1 Transporting
The Phoenix FireBird must always be upright when
transported by vehicle. It may be tipped onto its handle
and back for loading and moving by hand. The Phoenix
FireBird features a high-impact plastic skid plate which
protects the unit while navigating obstacles such as curbs,
stairways, and while loading into vehicles.
2.2 Electrical Requirements
The Phoenix FireBird requires 220/240VAC. The FireBird
outlet is 240VAC with ground. When properly installed,
it provides a ground connection through the cord to the
heater to protect the operator from electric shock. The
Phoenix FireBird comes equipped with two 8’ long cords
for connection to grounded residential range and dryer
receptacles. An accessory extension cord is also available
(see Accessories).
2.3 Ducting
The Phoenix FireBird can be ducted at the inlet, the
outlet or both using the included round outlet adapter.
The FireBird lid and outlet adapter are designed to
accommodate 2” flexible duct. When selecting flexible
ducting keep in mind anticipated outlet temperatures. Air
temperature increase is typically 50 to 80 degrees F for
low and high power settings respectively. Adding ducting
decreases airflow which can increase outlet temperatures
by up to 20 additional degrees F.
Install the 2” duct adapter by lining up the notch of the
adapter with the rivet on the cabinet, then push in the
directions shown to engage fasteners.
2.4 Power Switch
Master POWER Switch:
The master power switch located
on the back of the FireBird can be used to turn the unit
ON, OFF, or set the unit to be controlled by an external
thermostat.
When set to ON, the FireBird will energize the blower
relay and heater elements(s) continuously. In this mode,
the heaters are thermostatically limited to 40 degree F
incoming air temperature with an automatic switch.
When set to THERMOSTAT, the blower and heater will run
when the thermostat terminals (located under the lid) are
connected by a switch, remote thermostat, timer, etc.
HIGH/LOW POWER Switch:
This switch selects either
high or low power operation. If this switch is set to HIGH
POWER operation, the FireBird MUST be connected to a
minimum 50 Amp source.
2.5 Hour Meter
The digital hour meter measures the cumulative time that
the unit is turned on to tenths of an hour. It stores and
displays the total when the unit is unplugged. It resets to
zero after 99,999.9 hours of operation.
2.6 Remote Thermostat Connection
To connect a remote thermostat, switch, or timer control,
first locate the thermostat terminals under the lid of
the FireBird. There are 2 spring loaded terminals for
connecting thermostat wiring. Any dry-contact switch,
thermostat, or other type of control that connects the
terminals together will cause the heater to run. The
thermostat circuit is low voltage (24VAC). DO NOT
CONNECT POWER TO THE THERMOSTAT TERMINALS.
Always press terminal levers to release spring pressure
before disconnecting thermostat wiring. Failure to do
so will lead to excessive wear on spring loaded terminal
connector.
