VI--INSTALLATION
NOTE--If replacing an existing electric heat section, dis-
connect and remove the existing heat section and wiring.
1- - Disconnect power to B21!CB21/CBH21 unit.
2-- Remove blower access panel.
3-- Remove circuit breaker knockout on blower/blow-
er coil access cover in applications using an
ECB21 12.5, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0 or 30.0--Y, --P volt-
age heater in a CB/CBH21--41 or B/CB21--51/65
unit (See figure 1).

B/CB21 - -51/65
4-- Remove blank filler plate(s) in control box.
5-- Adjust circuit breaker mounting bracket according
to B21/CB21/CBH21 application. Bracket adjusts
forward by removing mounting screws, reposition-
ing bracket and reinserting screws (See figure 2).
6- - Slide ECB21 heat section into opening. Hole(s) on
each side of ECB21 line up with holes in control
box (See figure 3). Reinstall screws to secure heat
assembly. On the following ECB21 heaters, circuit
breakers line up with the opening in the access
cover: ECB21 12.5, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0 and 30.0 kwY
and P voltage heaters.
7- - When installing 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 10.0 and 20.0 kw
P voltage heaters; 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 and 15.0 kw Y volt-
age heaters in CB/CBH21--41 or B/CB21--51/65
units, a filler plate(s) (provided) must be used to
seal the element opening (See figures 3 and 4).

VII--FIELD WIRING CONNECTIONS
Refer to field wiring diagrams on pages 5 through 13.
IMPORTANT--On the units listed below, field power
supply wiring must be connected to the circuit breakers
and NOT the line voltage terminal block.
ECB21- -12.5- -1P ECB21- -15.0- -1Y
ECB21- -!5.0- -1P ECB21- -20.0- -1Y
ECB21- -20.0- -1P ECB21- -25.0- -1Y
ECB21- -25.0- -1P
ECB21- -30.O--1P
Power wiring for all other ECB21 heaters installed in B/CB/
CBH21 blower coil units should be connected as follows:
1- - Connect black power wire(s) marked "L1 "to L1 ter-
minal of TB2 terminal block.
2-- Connect red power wire(s) marked "L2" to L2 ter-
minal of TB2 terminal block.
NOTE- -All power wires on three- -phase heaters are
black.
3--Three--Phase Heaters Only .... Connect black
power wire(s) marked "L3" from ECB21 heater to
L3 terminal on TB2 terminal block.
4-- Heaters are supplied with an interconnecting jack
plug attached to each assembly. Connect the plug
from the heater to the matching plug inside the
blower coil unit.
5-- Heaters may be used with thermostats which con-
tain a second--stage heat bulb or with an outdoor
thermostat.
If indoor thermostat contains a second--stage
heat bulb, disconnect wire labeled "W2" from ter-
minal "R" ofTB1 terminal block and connect wire to
second--stage heat bulb.
If an outdoor thermostat is used, connect wire la-
beled "W2" to the outdoor thermostat. Refer to the
unit wiring diagram.
6-- Replace blower compartment access cover.
7-- Two ECB21 wiring diagrams have been included
with the heater. Affix one diagram on the
CB21/CBH21 unit next to the unit wiring diagram.
Affix the second wiring diagram in the outdoor unit
near the CB21 wiring diagram.
NO TE- -Refer to blower coil unit namepla te for mini-
mum circuit ampacity and maximum overcurrent
protection size.
VIII--COMPLETE INSTALLATION
Refer to CBiCBH21 installation instructions for com-
plete plumbing and drain connections, as well as duct
system installation.
IX--BLOWER MOTOR SPEEDS
A--Air Volume Adjustment
CB21 and CBH21 units are equipped with a variable
speed motor that is capable of maintaining a specified
CFM throughout the external static range. Select 1 of 11
speed taps located behind the tap cover on the motor/
controller to obtain a particular CFM. See figure 6 for tap
cover, AC power and control interface plug locations.
Refer to figure 7 for speed taps, high speed, low speed
and heat speed connectors. Refer to table 1 for mini-
mum blower speed tap for heating.

B--Blower Speed Adjustment Procedure
Use the following procedure to change blower speed
selection for high, low or heat speed selection:
, WARNING
1-- Disconnect line voltage from unit.
2-- Disconnect AC power plug from motor/controller.
See figure 6.
3-- Slide the tap cover toward AC power connection.
See figure 6.
4--Remove the appropriate speed connector and
place it on the proper tap. See figure 7.

The blower coil units are provided with knockouts for
use with 1- -1/2 inch trade size (1- -31/32 inch diameter)
conduit. A conduit mounting plate has been pro-
vided for use if installing smaller conduit.
XI--FIELB WIRING
Figure 8 and 9 respectively show typical heat pump
and condensing thermostat wiring when electric heat is
used,. Refer to figures on the following pages for field
wiring of electric heat elements in blower coil units.
NOTE--When installing CB21/CBH21 unit with or with-
out "Efficiency Plus" CCB1 (A20), or with matches other
than HP21, jumper wires maybe needed for proper op-
eration. Refer to tables and notes in figures 8--16 for
proper application of jumper wire.
CAUTION--Incorrect placement of jumper wire on
TB1 terminal board will reslut in damage to CCB1
control.
