CAUTION - TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
1. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect all power coming to
heater at main service panel before wiring or servicing.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National and Local
Electrical Codes and the heater must be grounded as a precaution against possible electric shock.
3. Verify the power supply voltage coming to heater matches
the ratings printed on the heater nameplate before energizing.
4. This heater is intended for ceiling installation ONLY. Do not
install the heater closer than 12” (305 mm) to any wall for
4000W models and 24” (609 mm) to any wall for 5000W
models.
5. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation
or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock, fire,
or damage to the heater.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
6. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or
exhaust in any manner. Keep combustible materials, such
as crates, drapes, etc., away from heater.
7. A heater has hot and arcing (sparking) parts inside. Do not
use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids
are used or stored.
8. This heater is not approved for use in corrosive atmospheres such as marine, green house, or chemical storage
areas.
9. The heater enclosure must be securely mounted to ceiling
or framing capable of supporting the heater (45 lbs/20.4 kg).
Failure to do so could allow heater to fall.
10. Do not operate heater without outlet grilles installed. When
installing grilles with louver guides, make sure guides drop
into position so they cannot slide out during use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE FOUR MOUNTING NUTS TO
SECURE HEATER TO MOUNTING FRAME COULD RESULT
IN THE HEATER FALLING (SEE FIGURE 2).
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE FOUR SCREWS COULD ALLOW
THE SURFACE ENCLOSURE TO FALL (SEE FIGURE 2).
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This heater is wired so the fan will come
n with no delay when energized as the thermostat is calling for
o
heat. When the thermostat is satisfied, the fan must continue to
run until the heater has cooled to a safe temperature. If an
external thermostat or controls are to be used, DO NOT wire
heater so thermostat shuts power to fan. The heater will be
damaged and the warranty will be voided. Thermostat must be
connected as shown on wiring diagram (Figure 13, page 7) for
correct operation.
NOTE: Field wiring must be #10 AWG min. rated 90°C min. Max
run length 125’ at 208V/5 kW. Wiring Compart-ment Volume:
3
252 in
(4130 cm3).
INSTALLATION
Installation of Surface Mounted Heaters
(See Figures 1 and 2)
1. Determine the desired location of the heater. See Warning
No. 4, page 1 for minimum mounting clearances.
2. Remove Surface Mounted Heater assembly from carton.
Heater assembly includes (1) surface mounting plate,
(1) heater, (1) surface mount enclosure and (1) set of
discharge grilles, Figure 2, page 3.
3. Remove Surface Mount Enclosure from assembly. Remove
four (4) nuts from studs so heater can be removed from surface mounting plate. Do not discard nuts since these will be
used in Step 11 to mount heater back on to surface plate.
4. Remove one of the knockouts and install a cable or conduit
connector.

from single to three-phase voltage, refer to “Field Conversion
for Lower Wattage Rating” or “Conversion for 3ø Installation”
on page 7 and wiring diagrams, Figure 13, page 7.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR PERMANENT DAMAGE
TO THE HEATER, THERMOSTAT MUST BE WIRED AS
SHOWN IN WIRING DIAGRAM. DO NOT CONNECT THERMOSTAT IN MAIN POWER LINES BECAUSE IT WILL
DEFEAT THE FAN DELAY FUNCTION.
10. Position the heater section over the studs on the surface
mounting plate (Figure 2).
NOTE: The end of the heater section with the terminal block
must be positioned at the end of the surface mounting plate
where the supply wiring enters.
11. Push the heater section onto the studs and securely tighten
four (4) nuts (removed from step 3) on the studs to secure the
heater section to the surface mounting plate (Figure 2).
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE FOUR MOUNTING NUTS COULD
RESULT IN THE HEATER FALLING (SEE FIGURE 2).
NOTE: Insure that the “thumb pin” in each end of the discharge
grille opening is pulled outward to allow the body of the thumb
pins to fit into the holes in the heater section (Figure 2).
12. Position the surface mounting enclosure over heater sec-
tion/surface mounting plate, making sure that the thumb
pins are in the holes in the heater section.
13. With the surface enclosure seated firmly against the heater
section, depress the “thumb pins”. This will cause the
thumb pins to expand and will temporarily hold the surface
enclosure in place.
NOTE: The thumb pins are an aid to help position and hold the
surface mounting enclosure during installation. Additional support (step 14) is required. See Warning.
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE FOUR SCREWS COULD ALLOW
THE SURFACE WRAPPER TO FALL (SEE FIGURE 2).
14. Install and securely tighten four screws (supplied) to secure
the surface mounting enclosure to the heater section
(Figure 2).
15. Install discharge air grilles. (Refer to “Installation of
Discharge Air Grilles”, page 6.)

1. Set the thermostat (internal or remote) to highest setting.
This will energize the heating elements and the fan causing
air to flow from the center of the heater.
2. After the operational check, set the thermostat to obtain the
desired comfort level.
Note: Heater contains a fan delay on shut down.
– The fan energizes immediately when the thermostat turns on
the elements.
– Fan will operate for a short time after the heating elements
are turned off (approx. 1 minute).

(Figure 13)
To convert the heater to a lower watt-age rating, completely
remove one (1) red jumper wire from one heating element for
25% wattage reduction. Completely remove two (2) red jumper
wires for a 50% wattage reduction. Discard the jumper(s). Be
sure the remaining wires are securely connected.

Heater is factory wired for connection to 1Ø only. To convert to
3Ø, remove and discard blue jumper wire between L1 & L3.

MAINTENANCE
TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONNECT ALL
POWER TO HEATER AT MAIN SERVICE PANEL BEFORE
SERVICING.
1. Once each year the heater should be cleaned to remove
ust and foreign material which has collected during the
d
heating season.
2. Turn off all electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse box
to discon nect the electrical power to heater.
3. Remove dust and other foreign material with a vacuum
leaner nozzle or dust cloth.
c
4. Turn on the main line switch to restore power to the heater.
