GENERAL
The following procedure contains instructions for installing
Power Disconnect Switches.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power
before installing disconnect switch. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or property damage. Disconnect switch must be installed by a
qualified person in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
*208V amperage is 86% of 240V value.

INSTALLATION
1. The amperage rating of the disconnect
must be equal to or greater than the
amperage rating on Table A and as
marked on the nameplate located on the
bottom access door (Figure 1).
2. The power disconnect kit is to be installed
in the rectangular knockout located in the
bottom right corner on the back of the
heater (Figure 2). The knockout can be
removed using a hammer and chisel or
other appropriate means.
For easier access to terminal screws to
wire pigtail leads supplied on the heater, it
is suggested that these connections be
made before installing. See Wiring
Instructions.
3. The disconnect switch assembly (Figures
3 or 4) consists of a mounting bracket,
disconnect switch, mounting plate cover
and self tapping screws.
4. The Disconnect switch, with its mount-ing bracket should be
inserted into the heater cabinet by opening the bottom service
door and positioned behind the opening created in Step 2 (see
Figure 5).
KDS–1
5. The disconnect switch, with its mounting plate should be inserted
into the heater cabinet by opening the bottom service door and
positioned behind the opening created in step 2 (see Figure 5).
6. Insert the four self tapping screws into the four holes in the rear
panel. They should engage the holes in the mounting plate and
then be tightened until they are secure (see Figure 6).
7. Mount the switch faceplate to the switch using the two provided
screws. Mount with the “OFF” position to “0” to the left and the
on position “1” to the top. Slide the handle over the shaft and
tighten the screw to secure.

Notes:
1. This illustration shows wiring hook up for three phase
service. Remove lead wires marked L2 and AL2 when
using one phase power service.
2. For units without contactors, disconnect switch is to
be wired to lead wires on heater power.
3. Use copper supply wire only with this switch.
KUH-30 through KUH-45 units with 2 contactors
where the total load does not exceed 48 Amps.
WIRING
INSTALLATION (Cont’d)
POWER DISCONNECT SWITCH (Available as a kit or
factory installed option.) (KDS-1)This switch disconnects the
power to power leads when the handle is rotated to the “0” position (left). The power is on when the switch handle is rotated to
the “1” position (top) position. (KDS-2 and KDS-3) This switch
disconnects power to the power leads when the handle is placed
in its full lower position. The power is on when the switch handle
is in its full upper position.
1. Use the three pigtail leads supplied with kit (40 & 80 Amp) when
connecting to the power line.
a. Use No. 4GA Copper conductor wire only for 100 Amp dis-
connect when wiring to the power line.
2. The power disconnect wiring to the heater is to be made using the
pigtail leads supplied on the heaters up to and including 25 kW.
On larger heaters, the installer should supply 105˚C type AWM
600V wire.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power
before installing disconnect switch. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or property damage. Disconnect switch must be installed by a
qualified person and must be effectively grounded
in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
NFPA 70.
For future replacement parts, the model number should be modi
fied on the nameplate to show that a disconnect kit has been field
installed on the heater. A label kit (see Figure 14) (P/N 170302788-002) has been included in the plastic envelope located in
the disconnect kit. Cut off the appropriate number for the size disconnect being installed (40 Amp = 1; 80 Amp = 2; 100 Amp = 3).
The label has a pressure sensitive adhesive back so that the number can be placed over the “0” as shown in Figure 14.
KDS–2 and KDS – 3
8. The cover plate should be placed over the rectangular opening
with its four mounting holes lined up with the four holes in the
cabinet and the four holes in the mounting bracket (see Figure 7).
9. Insert the four self tapping screws into the four holes until they
engage the holes in the mounting bracket and tighten until they
are secure (see Figure 8).
10. Place plastic bezel over the installed switch and push towards the
switch until the tabs snap into place (see Figure 9).
