TYPICAL SYSTEM OVERVIEW
HEATER OPERATION
Cambridge S-Series Blow-Thru® heaters are utilized
to meet the space heating requirements of commercial
or industrial buildings. The control system is typically
designed to cycle the heaters on and off in response to
the rise and fall of the space temperature. The heater
will discharge air at the temperature selected (up to
HEATER CONFIGURATION
160ºF). The operating thermostat is typically located
near the perimeter of the building in a location which
is out of the direct path of the heated discharge air,
insulated from cold surfaces, and shielded from cold
drafts created by air infiltrating the building.

IMPORTANT
To minimize snow and rain ingestion, position the
heater inlet opposite the prevailing winds.
mCAUTION
To prevent contaminated air from being drawn
into the heater, install the heater’s inlet at least
10 feet from any building exhaust, process exhaust, sewer stacks, or other sources that would
allow contaminants to be drawn into the heater.
Consult local codes for additional references.
1. Prepare roof penetration to the dimensions below.
See page 6 for Roof Top Mounting - Curb/Stand/
Rail drawing.
IMPORTANT
Accurate measurements are critical and will affect

aligns with the curb opening.
2. Secure the mounting curb and mounting rail(s) per
the structural engineer and roof manufacturer’s recommendations.
Cambridge recommends mounting the heater a minimum of 24" off the roof surface in areas where snow
accumulation could impact heater operations.
3. Attach the mounting stands to the heater while the
heater is on the ground. Adjust the height of the
stands so the heater inlet is slightly (1/8” below
level) lower than the discharge. This allows any
ingested moisture to drain out of the heater, through
weep holes located at the inlet of the heater, onto
the roof surface.
4. Lower the discharge duct through the mounting
curb and the roof opening and secure the counterflashing to the mounting curb.
5. Use a crane or comparable lifting device to raise
and position the equipment. Use a spreader bar to
prevent damage and connect slings to the lifting
brackets.
mWARNING:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GAS PIPING
IMPORTANT
Refer to the heater name plate for determining the minimum
gas supply pressure for obtaining the maximum gas capacity for which this heater is specified. Any field-installed
components including, but not limited to, meters, regulators, strainers and external gas trains must be installed
such that the minimum operating supply pressure for obtaining the maximum gas capacity is provided.
IMPORTANT
Units with external gas trains must be installed so that the
equivalent distance from the outlet of the gas train to the
inlet of the heater does not exceed 4 feet.
.1. Check with the local utility or gas supplier to determine
the gas supply pressure.
CAUTION:
If the gas supply pressure is in excess of the
maximum standing pressure indicated (14” WC, or 1
PSIG, or 2 PSIG, or 5 PSIG) on the heater nameplate,
a separate positive shutoff high pressure regulator must
be added upstream of the heater’s individual manual
shutoff valve. This regulator must be vented to the
outside of the building at least 10 feet from any intake
opening. The vent pipe should be designed to prevent
the entry of water, snow, insects or other foreign material that could cause blockage. There must be no reduc-
tion in size of the vent piping. Depending on the length
and the configuration of the vent piping the pipe size
may need to be increased. Refer to the applicable codes
for proper sizing.
2. Properly size the gas supply piping for the rated input
capacity, per local codes, and/or the National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54/ANSI 223.1 or the CAN/CSA B149
Installation Codes.
3. Make sure the supply piping is free of foreign matter and
purged.
4. Verify that the gas piping, when installed, will not restrict or
block the unit access door from fully opening.
5. Install the gas piping to the unit in accordance with
local codes or, in their absence, in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54, NFPA 54/ANSI
223.1 or the CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes.
IMPORTANT
A 1/8" NPT tap is supplied with the heater for measuring
the gas supply pressure. If the gas supply pressure exceeds
that indicated on the nameplate, the installer must install a
1/8" NPT tap and high pressure manual shutoff valve upstream of the high gas pressure regulator.
mCAUTION:
An adequate sediment trap must be installed upstream
of all gas controls for the heater and as close to the gas
inlet connection of the heater as practical.
IMPORTANT
Many gas train components are equipped with Listed
Vent Limiters as atmospheric bleeds, however, local codes
may require that these vents and bleeds be vented to the
outdoors. If so, the vent piping should be designed to prevent the entry of water, snow, insects or other foreign materials that could cause blockage.
6. Apply test pressure to the supply piping system and
check for leaks. Use liquid gas detector.
mWARNING:
Do not use flame for leak checking.
mCAUTION:
If the test pressure is in excess of 1/2 PSIG
(3.45 KPA), the heater and its manual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply system during pressure testing. Failure to comply will void warranty.
If the test pressure is less than or equal to 1/2 PSIG (3.5
KPA), the heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping
by closing its manual shutoff valve during pressure testing.
mWARNING:
Do not attempt to start unit at this time. Premature startup can result in damage to equipment and components.
Cambridge Engineering, Inc. 22 S-Series Technical Manual

ELECTRICAL WIRING
IMPORTANT
Before attempting electrical installation, review the
following instructions and the wiring and connection
diagrams to make sure you have a thorough understanding of the requirements.
mWARNING:
High voltage electrical input to this equipment is
required. Extreme caution should be exercised.
This equipment must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or in accordance with
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or
the Canadian Electrical Code C22.1.
1. Check the heater nameplate to determine the voltage and amperage requirements.
IMPORTANT
Do not proceed with installation unless the supply voltage agrees with the nameplate voltage. If
supply voltage does not agree with nameplate voltage, check with your local agent or Cambridge
Engineering’s Customer Service Group at 1-800-473-4569 to determine what changes are required.
2. Install the supply wiring and adequate Branch
Circuit Protection in accordance with National
Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian
Electrical Code C22.1.
3. Mount the remote control station. This panel should
be located inside of the building and convenient to
the operator without being susceptible to damage.
mCAUTION:
Observe special notes and instructions on Wiring
and Connection Diagrams regarding sensor installation:
The wiring for any temperature sensors or set point
controls mounted remotely from the remote control
station must be shielded, twisted-pair wiring and must
be run separately from other AC line voltage wiring.
This also applies to other remotely mounted controls
utilized in the EDSM and EDR control systems.
If the thermistor is not mounted remotely from the
remote control station, trim the excess wire length
from the thermistor, as required.
Shielded wire which is routed to the heater’s electrical control enclosure should extend beyond the high
voltage section of the enclosure before the shielding is
removed and the wiring is distributed to its ultimate destination.
Shielding must be grounded at the remote control station end only.
5. Wire the remote control station and other temperature control options using Class 2 wiring per the
Cambridge wiring diagram and National Electrical
Code Article 725 or Canadian Electrical Code
C22.1 section 16 or local codes.
6. Connect the supply wiring to the disconnect switch
inside of the heater’s electrical enclosure per
National Electrical Code, Article 430, ANSI/NFPA
70 or Canadian Electrical Code C22.1 Sections 12
and 28.
4. Any temperature sensors should be located along
a perimeter wall and out of the direct path of the
discharge air or air infiltration. Consult the design
drawing and/or Cambridge’s Customer Service
Group for placement assistance. Do not locate
remote mounted temperature sensors immediately
adjacent to overhead doors because infiltration air
can affect the sensor when the door is closed and
the sensor may not adequately sense the temperature
when the door is open. In this application, the sensor should be located on the first column in from the
outside wall when feasible.
Power and control wiring inlets on all outdoor units
must be sealed with silicone caulk (see page 56).
7. Return the wiring diagram to the manual holder.
Replace and fasten all access covers.
Do not attempt to start unit at this time.
Premature start-up can result in damage to
equipment and components.

4. BLOWER ROTATION CHECK
a. Open the access door on the electrical control
enclosure side and turn the disconnect switch to the
“ON” position.
b. Turn the blower service switch to the “LOCAL”
position. Blower motor will start after the motorized damper opens. Then, turn the blower service
switch to the “OFF” position and verify the blower
is rotating clockwise from the control enclosure
side.
IMPORTANT
On a three phase system, the rotation direction of
the blower may be reversed by switching any two
wires located on the downstream side of the motor
starter. The electrical supply to the heater must be
turned off prior to switching the wiring.
IMPORTANT
Indications of loose belts include barking or squealing when the blower starts. If these symptoms occur,
please refer to the Belt Tensioning instructions
(page 45)
IMPORTANT
The damper will remain in the open position as
long as the blower service switch is not returned to
the “REMOTE” position or the Low Temperature
Cutout (LTC) function has not timed out.
5. MOTOR AMP DRAW CHECK
b. Check motor current at the overload on all three
legs.
c. Turn the blower service switch to the “OFF” posi-
tion.
IMPORTANT
The average amps must not exceed 103% of the
Motor Nameplate FLA. High amperage may indicate
excessive blower RPM.
6. BURNER MANIFOLD PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENT
a. Turn the disconnect switch to the “OFF” position.
b. For EDL, EDR, EDSM, and EDSM/TP control
systems, remove the wire from terminal #3 on the

IMPORTANT
The heater access doors must be closed for this test.
S-Series Technical Manual 25 Cambridge Engineering, Inc.
IMPORTANT
A negative manifold static (blower only) will cause
the manifold pressure reading to be lower than the
nameplate manifold differential pressure.
IMPORTANT
The high limit may trip on warm days. If this occurs turn the blower on to allow the high limit to
cool. Turn the blower and burner service switches
to the "OFF" position. Access high limit and manually reset. Close the unit access doors and turn the
blower and burner service switches to the "LOCAL"
position.
h. Turn the burner service switch to the “LOCAL”
position. After a delay for prepurge and igniter
warm-up, the burner will light. Allow 15 seconds
for the low fire start to time out.
a. Turn the blower service switch to the “LOCAL”

b. On EDL, EDR and EDSM applications, remove the
wire from terminal #8 on the amplifier. This will
cause the burner to light on low fire and then fall to
minimum fire.
c. Turn the burner service switch to the “LOCAL”
position. After a delay for prepurge and igniter
warm-up, the burner will light. Allow 15 seconds
for the low fire start to time out.
d. Monitor the discharge temperature and flame sig-
nal. Subtract the temperature from step "7a" above
to determine the temperature rise. If the minimum
fire does not require adjustment, proceed to step
"7h".
i. Observe the manometer reading and compare to the
manifold pressure determined above in Step 6.g. If
the manifold pressure reading does not equal this
value, adjust the control regulator until the proper
manifold pressure is obtained.
j. Turn the blower and burner service switches to the
“OFF” position.
k. Reconnect the wire to terminal #3 on the amplifier.
l. When performing a start-up proceed to the next
step, otherwise perform Final Heater Preparation
(page 29).
7. MINIMUM FIRE ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURE
The minimum fire setting is preset at the factory at
approximately 20°F rise. This minimum fire setting
is not critical in space heating applications where the
heater is cycled in response to the space temperature
sensed by an operating thermostat. In this case, the
heater should operate at the maximum discharge temperature, far from the minimum fire setpoint.
IMPORTANT
If a temperature rise of less than 15°F is desired,
a DC microammeter is required to monitor flame
signal during the adjustment procedure. Ensure
the flame current remains steady and of sufficient
strength to maintain burner operation for both consistent ignition at minimum fire and locking in the
flame safeguard relay. Do not allow the flame signal
to drop below 2.0 microamps DC.
e. On the MR212 modulating/regulating valve,
remove the housing cover and loosen the lock
screw (C).
f. Remove the cap (A) exposing the minimum fire
adjusting screw. Turn the adjusting screw (B) to
obtain the desired minimum fire setting.
g. Replace the cap (A).
On the MR212 modulating/regulating valve,
tighten the lock screw (C) and replace the housing
cover.

“OFF” position.
i. Reconnect the wire to terminal #8 on the amplifier.
j. When performing a start-up proceed to the next
Cambridge Engineering, Inc. 26 S-Series Technical Manual
step, otherwise perform Final Heater Preparation
(page 29).
IMPORTANT
The heater access doors must be closed for the remaining portion of this test.
8. CALIBRATION CHECK
The discharge temperature control system has been
calibrated at the factory to the specified airflow, static
pressure, and temperature rise. The actual operating
conditions may require minor adjustments to the control settings to ensure the heater functions within the
operating parameters of its listing.
a. Remove the cover of the discharge air temperature
sampling box. Refer to the Heater Configuration
(page 4) for the discharge air temperature sampling box location, and the Individual Component
Description Section (page 67) for additional information. Install a thermocouple in the grommet
inside the discharge air temperature Sampling Box,
and then reinstall the cover. Route the thermocouple
wire to a meter located outside of the unit.
b. On EDL control systems, the discharge tempera-
ture should match the temperature shown on the
dial located on the amplifier. The dial should be set
to 160°F.
On EDSM and EDSM/TP control systems, the
discharge temperature should match the temperature shown on the MAX dial on the amplifier when
the Space Temperature Selector (STS) is set to its
highest setting. If the space temperature is warm,
a test resistance of 7,500 ±250 Ω should be connected in the circuit in place of the STS. The MAX
dial on the amplifier should be set to 160°F.
c. Turn the burner service switch to the “LOCAL”
position. After a delay for prepurge and igniter
warm-up, the burner will light. Allow 15 seconds
for the low fire start to time out.
d. Monitor the discharge temperature until it stabi-
lizes. Do not rush through this step.
e. The discharge temperature should be 130 ± 3°F for
heaters setup for 130°F, or 160 +0/-5°F for heaters setup for 160°F. If the discharge temperature
complies with this requirement, no calibration is
required. If the discharge temperature does not
equal the expected value, proceed to Calibration
Procedures (page 29).
f. Remove any jumpers that were installed previously.
g. When performing a start-up proceed to the next
step, otherwise perform Final Heater Preparation
(page 29).
9. GAS TRAIN LEAK CHECK
a. On EDL, EDR, EDSM, and EDSM/TP control
systems, remove the wire from terminal #3 on the
amplifier. This will drive the modulating valve to
full open.
b. Turn the blower service switch to the “LOCAL”
position. Blower motor will start after the motorized discharge damper opens.
On EDR control systems, jumper terminals 20 and
22 and turn the dial on the remote heat adjust RHA
to its highest setting to utilize the full temperature
range of the control system. On heaters with a
single temperature selection dial on the face of the
control (Maxitrol part number TD114), set the dial
to 90°F and verify that the override temperature
selector dial, which is visible from the top of the
control, is set at 40°F. The combination of these
two settings should control the discharge temperature to 130°F. On heaters with dual temperature
selection dials on the face of the control, set the
Space Heat dial to 160°F.
c. Turn the burner service switch to the “LOCAL”
position. After a delay for prepurge and igniter
warm-up, the burner will light. Allow 15 seconds
for the low fire start to time out.
d. With the burner operating, spray the complete gas
train with leak detector solution, checking all pipe
connections and plugs.
mCAUTION:
Do not allow leak detector solution to come in
contact with electrical components.

S-Series Technical Manual 33 Cambridge Engineering, Inc.
SETTING TEMPERATURES
TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
The Operating Electronic Thermostat requires two temperature settings. When the temperature drops below
the HEAT ON setting, the heater will turn on. When
the heater raises the space temperature above the HEAT
OFF setting, the heater will turn off. This difference
provides an adjustable range of operation for the heater
which minimizes temperature swings.
The minimum run time and off time for the heater
regardless of temperature are both set at 2 minutes. The
allowable temperature range is 40°F to 99°F. The HEAT
OFF temperature can not be set lower than the HEAT
ON temperature.
1. Press and hold the
the
UP or the DOWN button until the desired tempera-
HEAT ON button while pressing
ture for the heater to turn ON is displayed.
To compensate for lead wire resistance, it may be necessary to make an adjustment to the displayed temperature
to correct it to the temperature measured at the thermistor sensor. The calibration feature allows the displayed
temperature to be offset either above or below the actual
sensed temperature. Be sure to use an accurate temperature meter for making this correction.
1. Press and hold the
HEAT ON and HEAT OFF buttons
while pressing the UP or the DOWN button until the
correct temperature is displayed. ( A period [.] after

SETTING AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT FOR
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
The TSS Controller has the ability to automatically
detect and adjust for daylight saving time. The default
setting on the controller is to recognize daylight saving
time.
Cambridge Engineering, Inc. 36 S-Series Technical Manual
SETTING TEMPERATURES
1. Press the SETBACK SCHEDULE/EXIT button to enter
the scheduling program at the first ON cycle.
2. Press the UP button once to enter the daylight saving
time setting ("d-SA" is displayed).
The TSS Controller has two temperature control modes
with the keyswitch on the front of the enclosure in the
HEATING position. The HEATING mode controls
the heater when the ON time schedule is in effect. The
SETBACK mode controls the heater when the OFF time
schedule is in effect. (See SETTING SCHEDULES for
instructions on setting the ON and OFF schedules). With
the keyswitch in the SUMMER VENTILATION position the heater fan will run based on the time schedule
with no temperature control.
HEATING MODE (ON Time Schedule)
The HEATING mode requires two temperature settings.
When the temperature drops below the HEAT ON setting the heater will turn on. When the heater raises the
space temperature above the HEAT OFF setting, the
heater will turn off. This difference provides an adjustable range of operation for the heater, which minimizes
temperature swings. The minimum on time and off time
for the heater regardless of temperature is 2 minutes. The
allowable temperature range is 41°F to 99°F.
3. Press and hold the YEAR button while pressing the

SETTING SCHEDULES
The TSS Controller has separate programmable daily
schedules for the HEATING and the SUMMER
VENTILATION modes. The schedule currently in
effect is determined by the position of the keyswitch
in the door of the enclosure. With the keyswitch in
the HEATING or OFF position, the schedule for the
Heating Mode is accessible. With the keyswitch in the
SUMMER VENTILATION position, the schedule for
the Ventilation Mode is accessible. (This will be indicated by the VENT MODE light on the TSS Controller
being illuminated). Before attempting to program the
schedule, determine the planned time periods for HEAT
(ON) and SETBACK (OFF) for the HEATING mode
and the planned ON and OFF time periods for the
Ventilation mode. The time that it takes to recover from
the SETBACK temperature to the HEAT temperature
must also be taken into consideration for the ON time
in the HEATING mode. The following charts can be
filled in for a reference during the programming of
the schedule. There are fifteen available ON and OFF
program cycles for both HEATING and SUMMER
VENTILATION. The first ON and OFF cycles are fixed
for Monday through Friday and should only be used
when the schedules for those days are identical. The
fourteen additional numbered cycles can be programmed
for any one day or successive days.
NOTE: Do not program the TSS controller with overlapping schedules, as operational errors will occur.
Whenever the heater is operating during a scheduled ON
cycle and a subsequent overlapping program is encountered, that program will be ignored.
A Holiday Setback Schedule is available for temporary
operation in the Setback Mode of up to nine different
holiday periods without affecting the current schedules.
(See HOLIDAY SETBACK SCHEDULE section for
instructions on using this feature).
SETBACK OVERRIDE
All unused program cycles should not contain any set-
In instances where temporary heat is desired when the
scheduler is in the SETBACK mode, the OVERRIDE
timer can be used. Setting this timer, located on the front
of the TSS panel, will override the SETBACK tempera-
tings. Check all cycles after programming to assure that
the display for unused cycles shows "--:--". If undesired
settings have been entered, scroll the time display until
"--:--" is displayed (between 11.59PM and 12.00AM for
time settings; between 12.31 and 1.01 for date settings).

FILTERS
Filters may be provided in a V-bank filter section.
Filters may be of the disposable or permanent type.
Service the filters as needed based on the "loading" experienced. Clean filters typically start out
with a pressure drop across the filters between 0.15
and 0.25" WC. Cleaning or replacement is generally
required below the pressure drop increased by a factor
of 4 times the initial clean value.
Turn off the heater before servicing the filters.
Remove the filters from the filter section by opening
the filter access door. Handle the filters carefully to
prevent debris from being dislodged from the filter
into the heater.
Permanent Filters are 2" thick expanded aluminum
washable filters in aluminum frames.
Permanent filters can be cleaned using a stream of
water or soap and water. Back flush the filters until
the water comes out clean. If soap is used, ensure that
all soap is rinsed out of the filter. Visually inspect the
filter to ensure that it is clean. Allow to dry before
returning to service.
Disposable Filters are 2" thick cotton/polyester panels with galvanized expanded metal pleat support
grids and beverage board frames.
Disposable filters are replaced when they become
dirty. Replace the filter with the same size of filter
which is removed from the filter section. Note the airflow markings on the filter.

BLOWER CLEANING
The blower wheel should be examined for accumulation of dust on the blades. These surfaces must be
kept clean. Dirt accumulation will result in significant
air flow reduction and/or possible imbalance of the
blower wheel.
CAUTION:
The igniter is made of silicon carbide material and
should be handled with care to avoid breakage.
3. Disconnect the ignition cable from the burner and
remove the flame rod and the igniter.
4. Examine the flame rod ceramic for cracks and
replace if necessary. Clean the flame rod element
with emery cloth to remove oxidation.
5. Remove the fasteners that secure the burner to the
housing. The burner will then be free to slide out.
mCAUTION:
Be sure to take necessary safety precautions (such
as wearing eye protection, etc.) before attempting
the next step.
6. Clean the burner by back-flushing using high
pressure air (40-80 PSI). Continue back-flushing
until dust particles are completely expelled from
the burner.
7. Reinstall the burner using the above steps in
reverse order.
mCAUTION:
Prolonged imbalance can result in catastrophic
failure of the blower wheel and other related
components.
GAS TRAIN LEAK CHECK
Periodically check the gas control assembly, internal
and external piping for leaks. Refer to the Gas Train
Leak Check procedure (page 27). All relief vents on
the gas controls should be checked for blockage (gas
pressure regulators and pressure switches).
S-Series Technical Manual 45 Cambridge Engineering, Inc.
GAS VALVE CLEANING
All solenoid valves should be cleaned periodically.
The time between cleanings will vary depending on
the medium and the service conditions. In general,
if the voltage to the coil is correct, sluggish valve
operation, excessive noise, or leakage will indicate
that cleaning is required. Refer to the Gas Valve Leak
Check procedure (page 28).
mWARNING:
In the extreme case, the valve may fail to open or
fully close.
IMPORTANT
It is not necessary to remove the valve from the gas
train for cleaning.

TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS
DAMPER MOTOR REPLACEMENT & ADJUSTMENT
1. Before reinstalling the damper motor into the heater
assembly, remove the black plastic weather cover
from the damper motor by removing the screw that
secures the cover to the damper assembly using
either a flat tip screw driver or a ¼" nut driver. It
may be necessary to twist the cover slightly to disengage it from its mounting to the end of the motor
after the screw is removed.
2. Verify the damper motor is in the CLOSED position (Drive tube is retracted with a minimum of
1/4" gap between the drive tube and the body of the
damper assembly).
3. Verify the inner cam has fully engaged the lower
limit switch plunger and the lower limit switch
(next to the body of the damper motor) shows continuity between the common (C) terminal and the
normally open (NO) terminal.
5. Verify the heater disconnect switch is turned OFF
and the service switches are in the OFF position.
6. Connect the wires to the terminals as shown in
Figure 2 and reinstall the cover.
Figure 1
mCAUTION:
If the lower limit switch does not indicate continuity, the damper motor must be driven to the
fully CLOSED position BEFORE connecting the
damper linkage tube to drive tube of damper motor
assembly.
IMPORTANT
If the drive tube bottoms out against the damper
motor housing, damage to the PC board or tripping of the onboard fuse may result. If the fuse trips,
place the blower service switch in the OFF position
for 15 seconds to allow fuse to reset. Proceed with
steps 4 through 10 PRIOR to connecting the damper
motor to the linkage tube.
4. Verify the cam location on the upper cam is set just
short of the four o’clock position with respect to
the switch plunger being the twelve o’clock reference position. If it is beyond the four o’clock position, use a deep well 1/2" hex socket or nut driver
and manually rotate the cam counterclockwise a
few clicks, as required, to obtain the correct starting
position. (Refer to Figure 1.)
Figure 2
7. Remove the push-in plug (located in the weather
cover) to have access to the upper cam adjusting
nut.
8. Connect the motor pivot to the damper motor support bracket using the 3/8" diameter clevis pin.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the damper linkage tube at this time.
9. Remove the wire from the “G” terminal of the terminal block. (This is to avoid a “Call-for-Fan”
signal from the remote control station during the
next two steps).
Cambridge Engineering, Inc. 54 S-Series Technical Manual
10. Suspend the damper motor assembly from the
damper motor support bracket. Turn the disconnect switch on and turn the blower service switch
to the “LOCAL” position for approximately 5
seconds.
IMPORTANT
Do not restrain the drive tube from turning freely.
11. Turn the blower service switch to the “REMOTE”
position until the damper motor drive tube stops
turning. (Drive tube is now fully retracted).
IMPORTANT
Damper blades should be snug to avoid fluttering in
the high velocity air stream.
12. Turn the disconnect switch off. Manually trip the
motor starter overload using the manual trip lever
located on the overload between the overload and
the motor starter.
13. Slide the damper linkage tube into the drive tube
and align the hole in the drive tube with the hole
in the damper linkage tube by manually rotating the drive tube in 1/2 turn increments until the
5/16" diameter clevis pin can pass through both
parts. Lubrication of the damper linkage tube
may be required. Maintain the damper blades in
the tightly-held, fully closed position during this
adjustment.
14. Turn the disconnect switch on and turn the blower
service switch to the “LOCAL” position. The
damper will open to the point the upper cam
engages the upper limit switch.
15. Remove the plastic plug from the damper viewport (located on the exterior side of the heater
housing toward the discharge end). It may be
helpful to place a flashlight inside the heater housing to observe the damper linkage tube travel to
ultimately rest against the hex shaft.
Figure 3
mCAUTION:
Do not over-drive the damper motor as damage to
the PC board or tripping of the onboard fuse may
result. If the fuse trips, place the blower service
switch in the “OFF” position for 15 seconds to
allow fuse to reset.
17. Turn the blower service switch to the “REMOTE”
position and, after the damper motor closes, turn
the disconnect switch off.
18. Reinstall the plastic plug from the damper viewport and the weather cover push-in plug.
19. Reconnect the wire removed in step 9 to terminal
“G”.
20. Reset the motor starter overload.
21. Verify that both service switches are in the
“REMOTE” position, close the electrical enclosure door and turn the disconnect switch on.
16. Using a deep-well, 1/2" hex socket or nut driver,
turn the upper cam hex nut clockwise in one click
increments until the damper linkage tube rests
against the hex shaft. (Refer to Figure 3. )

INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL STATIONS
REMOTE CONTROL STATION - SECURITY
(RCS-S)
The RCS-S is a lockable NEMA 1 enclosure (9"W x 14"H x 5"D) equipped with a
three position key-lock selector switch
(Summer Ventilation - Off - Heating); an
Operating Electronic Thermostat (OET);
and indicating lights for blower operation
(green), burner operation (red), and reset (amber).
The operator can control the heater from this panel
provided the heater mounted disconnect is in the
“ON” position and the service switches are in the
“REMOTE” position. The OET utilizes an encapsulated thermistor to sense space temperature. The adjustable differential is set by the selection of the ON and
OFF temperatures. See instructions for the OET. (page
33).
TEMPERATURE SETBACK SYSTEM
(TSS)
The TSS is a lockable NEMA 1 enclosure
(9"W x 14"H x 5"D) equipped with a three
position selector switch (Summer
Ventilation - Off - Heating); a combination
seven day programmable timer and ther-
mostat; an override timer; and indicating
lights for blower operation (green), burner operation
(red), and reset (amber).
The operator can control the heater from this panel
provided the heater mounted disconnect is in the
“ON” position and the service switches are in the
“REMOTE” position. The TSS utilizes an encapsulated
thermistor to sense space temperature. The adjustable
differential is set by the selection of the ON and OFF
temperatures. This control can accommodate separately programmed schedules for both the ventilation and
heating modes. See the operating and programming
instructions for the TSS Controller (page 35).
REMOTE CONTROL STATION
COMPONENTS
CLOGGED FILTER LIGHT (CF)
The clogged filter light is an alarm light mounted in
the remote control station to indicate a clogged filter condition. Includes an adjustable pressure switch
mounted in the electrical control enclosure to monitor
the pressure drop across the filters.
EXHAUST FAN INTERLOCK (EFI)
An exhaust fan interlock is used to interlock the makeup air heater as a slave to an exhaust fan. Terminals
are provided in the remote control station for wiring of
dry contacts (by others).
MANUAL MAKE-UP AIR SWITCH (MMS)
A manual make-up air toggle switch is used to manually turn the heater on and off. It is either mounted on
the exterior of the door of the remote control station or
mounted inside for tamperproof applications.
NON-ADJUSTABLE THERMOSTAT (TTP)
The non-adjustable thermostat is a fixed temperature,
solid state, epoxy sealed thermostat with a specified
temperature setpoint, either: 41°F, 50°F, 55°F, 60°F, or
65°F. It is wired between terminals Z1 and Z2.
TEMPERATURE AVERAGING SYSTEM
(TAS-2)
The TAS-2 option is used in conjunction with the RCS-S or TSS to average
the space temperature between two distant points within a facility. It consists
of four thermistors which are wired in
a series/parallel combination in order to
simulate a single thermistor response.
S-Series Technical Manual 67 Cambridge Engineering, Inc.
REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR (RTS)
The thermistor is wired to the remote
temperature sensor terminal block. If
remote location of the sensor is desired,
the connecting cable must be wired
between the thermistor and this point.
The thermistor enclosure (SH-1) is
packed in the remote control station for shipment. It
can be mounted on the exterior sides or bottom of the
remote control station or a remote location within 500
feet using 18 gauge stranded, twisted-pair, shielded
cable.
on the dial face by the increment selected (10 to 40˚F)
when a jumper or switch contact is provided across terminals 20 and 22.
Heaters which are specified with a temperature rise
above 130˚F are supplied with dual adjusting knobs on
the dial face of the RHA. This control permits manual
adjustment of the discharge temperature from 55 to
105˚ or 120 to 160˚F. A jumper or switch contact is
required across terminals 20 and 22 to activate the
higher temperature selection.
GAS CONTROL SYSTEMS
ELECTRONIC DISCHARGE-LOCAL (EDL)
The EDL temperature control system
utilizes Maxitrol’s Series 14 modulation controls. The discharge temperature sensor, which is mounted in the
discharge, transmits a resistance signal back to the amplifier that corresponds to the discharge temperature.
The amplifier creates a voltage output to drive the modulating valve to maintain the preselected temperature that is set on the dial located on
the amplifier. This control permits adjustment of the
discharge temperature (110 to 160°F) from inside the
heater control enclosure.
ELECTRONIC DISCHARGE-REMOTE (EDR)
The EDR temperature control system utilizes Maxitrol’s Series 14
modulation controls. The discharge
temperature sensor, which is mounted in the discharge, transmits a
resistance signal back to the amplifi-
er that corresponds to the discharge
temperature. The amplifier creates a voltage output to
drive the modulating valve to maintain the preselected
temperature that is set on the Remote Heat Adjust
(RHA).
Heaters which are specified with a temperature rise of
less than 130˚F are supplied with a single adjusting
knob on the dial face of the RHA. This control permits
manual adjustment of the discharge air temperature
from 55 to 130˚F. The override temperature selector
dial, which is visible from the top of the RHA control,
increases the discharge temperature above the setting
ELECTRONIC DISCHARGE-SPACE
MODULATION (EDSM)
The EDSM temperature control
system utilizes Maxitrol’s Series
44 modulation controls. The Space
Temperature Selector (STS) is set
to the desired space temperature
and it transmits a resistance output
to the amplifier (AMP) to control
the discharge temperature. The
discharge temperature sensor (DTS), which is mounted
in the discharge, transmits a resistance signal back to
the amplifier that corresponds to the discharge temperature. The amplifier creates a voltage output to drive
the modulating valve (MV) to maintain the selected
space temperature by controlling the heater output
between the MIN and MAX setting on the amplifier.
The MIN dial setting determines the minimum dis-
charge temperature the heater will deliver (40 to 80˚F).
The MAX dial setting determines the maximum discharge temperature the heater will deliver (80 to
160˚F). When the space temperature drifts from the
STS setpoint by more than 3˚F, the modulating valve is
driven to the MIN or MAX discharge temperature, as
applicable.
The EDSM/TP temperature control system
functions identical to the EDSM control system. The difference is the STS is replaced
with two devices. The adjustable temperature
selector is typically mounted inside the
remote control station and the non-adjustable
space sensor (RTSS) is mounted in the space.
Cambridge Engineering, Inc. 68 S-Series Technical Manual
ELECTRONIC DISCHARGE-SPACE
MODULATION/HAZARDOUS AREA
The Hazardous Area temperature control system functions identical the EDSM/TP, except the space sensor
(TS244A) is replaced by a space sensor with epoxy
coated circuitry (ES225A). The standard remote control
station is not suitable for hazardous areas and would need
to be mounted outside of the hazardous area.
DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(DTS)
The DTS is mounted in the discharge of
the heater. It senses the average discharge temperature and transmits a
resistance signal back to the amplifier
that corresponds to the discharge temperature.
GAS CONTROL COMPONENTS
AMPLIFIER (AMP)
The amplifier creates a voltage output
to drive the modulating valve to maintain the selected discharge temperature. On EDL control systems, the discharge temperature is set at the amplifier. On EDR control systems, the dis-
charge temperature is set on the RHA.
On EDSM control systems, the range of the discharge
temperature is set at the amplifier, however, the STS
controls when more or less heat is required.
COMBINATION VALVE
The combination valve serves as a
manifold pressure regulator and
redundant gas shut-off valve. This
control is typically used for gas
capacities below 400,000 Btu/hr. The
valve operates on 24 Volts AC power.
The combination valve is rated for a maximum gas
supply pressure of 14" WC.
DISCHARGE AIR TEMPERATURE
SAMPLING BOX
The discharge air temperature sampling box is located on the side
of the discharge, and is accessible
from the electrical control enclosure
side of the unit. The sampling box
houses the high limit (HL) and the
discharge temperature sensor (DTS).
This box should not be tampered with
unless performing the Calibration
Procedures (pages 29-31).
FLAME ROD (FR)
The flame rod senses the presence
of flame and signals the flame
safeguard relay. The presence of
flame is detected by the flame
rectification of the AC signal that
is supplied to the flame rod thus
creating the DC response. The resulting current flow
produced can be measured with a DC microammeter.
The reading should be steady and between 2.0 and 6.0
microamps (mA).
FLAME SAFEGUARD RELAY (FSR)
The flame safeguard relay supplies 24
Volts AC to the igniter for 4 seconds
before the gas valve is energized. If the
burner does not light (flame is not
established within 7 seconds), this control will lock out gas flow until the control is reset. If
flame signal is lost during burner operation, the control
will allow one retry for ignition.
HIGH/LOW GAS PRESSURE SWITCH
(HGP, LGP)
This gas pressure switch is a manual
reset safety device to lock out the
burner operation should large gas pressure fluctuations occur. The high gas
pressure switch should be set 3" WC
above manifold gas pressure. The low
pressure switch should be set at 2"
WC. The adjustment screw is located under the top
plate. The low gas pressure switch will have to be reset
whenever gas supply has been interrupted.
S-Series Technical Manual 69 Cambridge Engineering, Inc.
HIGH PRESSURE REGULATOR (HPR)
The HPR option is required when the
gas supply pressure exceeds the
nameplate rating for the heater.
Unless otherwise specified, the HPR
assembly is also furnished with a high
gas pressure manual shut-off valve
and a tap for measuring the upstream gas pressure. The
HPR must be a positive lock-up type regulator which
must be vented to outdoors. It is sized according to the
gas supply pressure and the capacity requirements of
the heater.
INTERMITTENT/CONTINUOUS CONTROL
The Intermittent/Continuous Control allows the burner
input to be modulated to be operated continuously at
modulating discharge temperature for make-up air (see
EDSM on page 68) or operated intermittently based on
a thermostat at maximum discharge temperature (see
EDL on page 68) for space heating.
Requires EDSM controls and a signal to switch
between modes (Exhaust Fan Interlock, Temperature
Setback System, Manual Make-Up Air Switch, etc.)
IGNITER (IG)
The hot surface igniter is the ignition source for lighting the gas in
the burner. It is made of silicon carbide which is very fragile. Care
should be used in handling. It operates on 24 Volts and the current
ranges from 1.3 to 1.7 amps. It will reach temperatures
in excess of 2400˚F during the ignition trial. It is furnished with a vinyl sleeve for shock mounting and
sealing in the mounting tube.
LEAK TEST FACILITY (SW4)
The leak test facility is provided on
all heaters over 400,000 Btu/hr. It
consists of a momentary switch for
the shut-off valve (SOV) in the gas
train and a gauge port between the
(SOV) and (SSV) shut-off
valve. By holding the gas valve
momentary switch closed, the (SOV)
gas valve is energized which allows
gas pressure to build on the seat of
the SSV safety shut-off gas valve.
The gauge port between valves is used to determine if
the SOV shut-off gas valve seat is properly sealed.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE REGULATOR
The manifold pressure regulator con-
trols the burner manifold pressure.
When the MR212 valve is used, this
modulating valve also serves as the
manifold pressure regulator. The
maximum gas supply pressure rating
is normally determined by the
exposed pressure rating of the regulating device. RV61
and RV81 regulators are rated at 1 psig; and the
MR212 is rated at 5 psig. (For units rated at 400,000
Btu/hr or below, see the combination valve below.)
MODULATING VALVE (MV)
The MV responds to a 4 to 24 Volt
DC signal from the amplifier to
modulate the flow of gas to the
burner. On the M511 or M611
valve, the low fire adjusting screw is
located on the far side of the valve
under the dust cover. On the MR212 valve, the low fire
adjusting screw is located under the large dust cover.
The MR212 modulating valve also serves as the manifold pressure regulator.
REMOTE HEAT ADJUSTMENT (RHA)
As discussed under the component
description for the EDR control sys-
tem, the RHA may have a single or
dual adjusting knob(s) on the dial
face. The single adjusting knob con-
trol permits manual adjustment of
the discharge air temperature from
55 to 130˚F. The override temperature selector dial which is visible from the top of the
RHA control, increases the discharge temperature
above the setting on the dial face by the increment
selected when a jumper or switch contact is provided
across terminals 20 and 22.
Heaters which are specified with a temperature rise
above 130˚F are supplied with dual adjusting knobs on
the dial face of the RHA. This control permits manual
adjustment of the discharge temperature from 55 to
105˚F or 120 to 160˚F. A jumper or switch contact
is required across terminals 20 and 22 to activate the
higher temperature selection.
Cambridge Engineering, Inc. 70 S-Series Technical Manual
SPACE TEMPERATURE SELECTOR (STS)
The STS is part of the EDSM control
system. The STS senses the space temperature and provides a resistance signal back to the amplifier that corresponds to the temperature variation
from setpoint. A 3˚F drift from the set
temperature will cause the heater to
modulate to the extreme end of the preset range on the
amplifier.
HEATER COMPONENTS
EXHAUST FAN CONTACT (EFC)
The exhaust fan contact is an auxiliary dry contact that
is mechanically interlocked to the heater’s motor starter
and is provided with terminals located in the electrical
enclosure. The EFC is typically wired into an exhaust
fan control circuit to activate the exhaust fan as a slave
to the heater.
FUSE BLOCK (FU1, FU2)
The fuse block provides line fusing for
branch circuit protection. It is wired in
conjunction with the non-fused disconnect switch.
AIRFLOW SWITCH (AF)
The airflow switch senses the pressure
drop across the burner. It is factory set
and not adjustable. It is designed to
prevent burner operation if the airflow
drops significantly below the minimum
design airflow of the heater.
DAMPER MOTOR (D, D1)
The damper motor operates on 24
Volts AC and switches power to the
motor starter when the damper blades
are fully open by the closure of the
damper end switch. The damper end
switch is an adjustable internal auxiliary switch which has been factory set to operate when
the damper is fully open. The damper motor will power
closed when the heater cycles off. The damper motor
will not close unless the blower service switch is in the
“REMOTE” position. For detailed instructions refer to
Damper Motor Replacement & Adjustment (page 54).
HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT (HL)
The high limit opens when discharge
temperature exceeds 180˚F. This limit
must be manually reset.
MOTOR STARTER (MS, OL, AUX)
The motor starter assembly consists of
a motor starter, overload relay and
auxiliary contact. The overload relay
protects the motor from excessive current or single phasing. If the overload
relay trips, it must be reset manually.
The auxiliary contacts are used in the
gas valve safety circuit as an indication the blower is operating, and as an optional exhaust
fan contact for interlocking other equipment with the
operation of the heater.
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL PC BOARD
DISCONNECT SWITCH (DISC)
The disconnect switch is provided on all
heaters and includes the disconnect rod and
lockable operating knob. The disconnect
switch must be in the “OFF” position to
gain access to the control enclosure. Once the control
enclosure is open, experienced service technicians may
activate the electrical circuit by twisting the disconnect
rod clockwise to assist in troubleshooting. The disconnect rod must be turned back to the “OFF” position
before attempting to secure the enclosure door.
2) The LTC (Low Temperature Cutout) circuit functions to shut down the blower in approximately 3
minutes if either of the following occurs: (a) The inlet
temperature drops below the LTC setpoint (40, 45, 50,
or 55˚F) in the ventilation mode; or (b) the gas valve
fails to remain energized during a heating cycle.
3) The EAT (Entering Air Thermostat) circuit functions automatically to turn off the burner when the out-
The multi-functional PC board provides
five (5) separate functions as follows:
1) Blower Relay (CR1) which is energized
on “call for blower” from the remote control station.

door temperature reaches the EAT setpoint (45, 50, 55,
57.5, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68 or 70˚F).
4) The PT (Purge Timer) circuit function is preset at
the factory to provide four air changes within the heater
cabinet prior to an ignition attempt (normally set at 4 or
8 seconds). If inlet ducting is attached to the heater, the
delay time can be increased to 8, 16, or 32 seconds, as
applicable.
5) The patented LFS (Low Fire Start) circuit function
is provided to limit the initial heater firing for the first 15
seconds of a heating cycle. The voltage to the modulating valve is adjusted between 9 and 13 Volts DC by an
adjustable potentiometer on the PC board.
SERVICE SWITCH (SW1, SW2, SW3)
The service switches are mounted in the
electrical control enclosure. In the
“LOCAL” or “OFF” position, the service
technician has local control of the heater.
These switches must be placed in the
“REMOTE” position for normal control
from the remote control station.
TRANSFORMER (T1, T2)
Heaters supplied with an output of
greater than 400,000 Btu/hr are furnished with a dual voltage transformer unless the supply voltage is 115
volts. The transformer furnished
depends on the supply voltage (208,
230, 460 or 575 volts). This transformer provides the
secondary control voltage of 24 and 115 Volts. Heaters
rated below 400,000 Btu/hr or supplied for 115 Volts are
furnished with the 24 Volt secondary transformer only.
Secondary fusing is provided in all Class I transformer
circuits to protect the downstream components from
short circuit. Fuse sizing is as follows: FNM-6.25 for
150 VA 24 Volt; FNM-1.6 for 150 VA 115 Volt; and
FNM-2.25 for 200 VA 115 Volt. Consult the heater wiring diagram to identify the proper fusing. Do not
increase the fuse rating over that which is specified.
