Diagrams are provided for both single and three-phase circuits,
and are readily identified in the Selection Table on the following
page. The Selection Table enables easy selection of the correct
wiring diagram after the electrical components of the unit
heater have been determined. The control codes are listed to
aid in locating the correct diagram.
Diagram Interchangeability
The following gas-fired unit heater wiring diagrams are for
either 115-volt, 60-Hertz, single-phase power, or for 230-volt,
60 Hertz, three-phase electrical service.
The 115v/60Hz/1φ diagrams may also be utilized for 230v/60Hz/
1φ by substituting 230-volt components for the 115-volt shown.
The 230v/60 Hz/3φ diagrams may be modified to 460v/60
Hz/3φ by adding a 460v to 230v step down transformer and
wiring the unit as shown in the wiring “inset” on all 3-phase
wiring diagrams.
The 460v/60Hz/3φ diagrams may also be utilized for 575v/60Hz/
3φ by substituting 575-volt components for the 460-volt shown.
NOTE: As indicated in every diagram, all wiring must comply
with the National Electrical Code and all local codes. All
components must agree with their respective power source.
CAUTION
Turn off all power and gas to unit before wiring. Failure to wire
this unit according to this wiring diagram may result in injury
to the installer or user. For deviations, contact factory.

Wiring in the field changes little when the brand of the
controls furnished on the unit heater changes. Select correct
wiring diagrams as follows:
1. Determine unit heater model and size.
2. Select control code number from Table 1.
3. Reference unit heater model in the Page Location Index
with control code number and determine correct page
number for single-phase or three-phase control. Singlephase wiring diagram page numbers are in the upper left
of box and three-phase diagrams are in the lower right of
box.
4. Wiring diagrams for unit heater accessories are listed in
Table 2. Use the accessory diagrams along with the unit
wiring diagrams for complete wiring instructions.
B. Service and Troubleshooting
Because internal or factory wiring may vary depending
on controls manufacturer, the wiring diagrams must be
selected with the series identity number when servicing
or troubleshooting a unit heater control system. Wiring
diagrams in this bulletin are for unit heaters manufactured
after June 2003 and the series identity number is the 5th
thru the 7th digits of the unit heater serial number.
EXAMPLE: Serial No. – 01121010697 has a series identity
number of 101.
To select the correct wiring diagram:
1. Determine unit heater model and size from serial plate
located on the side of the unit.
2. Determine the control code numbers from box marked
Control Code, also on the serial plate.
3. Determine the series identity number of the unit heater,
then proceed with Step 3 of Field and Submittal Wiring
Diagram Selection.
Example Selection
Select correct single-phase wiring diagram for a PDP175A
Control Code 11, series identity number 101.
Locate the Page Location Index which shows the page numbers
for PDP and BDP units with series identity number 101 (see
page iii). Select the page number where the column for the
PDP175 intersects with the line for control code 11. The correct
single phase wiring diagram for this unit is found on page 1 in
the upper left portion of box. If the unit also had a summer/winter
switch the accessory wiring diagram found on page C-2 as per
Table 2, would also be required for complete wiring information.
Two-in-one Diagrams
Two wiring diagrams are furnished for each circuit configuration
in this manual. Included are a connection diagram at the left
for field installation and circuit schematic at the right to aid in
continuity and trouble shooting.
The heavier lines in the connection diagram indicate line voltage;
the lighter lines indicate low voltage. Solid lines show pre-wiring
performed at the factory; dotted lines inform the installer of
connections required to put the heater in operation.

6-446 — WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENERGY SAVER CONTROL
Before proceeding with wiring the accessories described,
CAUTION
Turn off all power and gas to unit before wiring. Failure to
wire this unit according to this wiring diagram may result in
injury to the installer or user. For deviations, contact factory.
make sure the unit has been installed, vented piped and wired
according to the Installation/Service Manual and Standard Wiring
Diagram furnished with the unit heater.
Installation
All wiring for this control must comply with the National Electric
Code and all local codes and ordinances.
Do not locate control on an outside wall or where it will be
affected by drafts or radiant heat. It does not require level
mounting.
1. Remove front cover and one wiring access knockout from
control.
2. Attach control to mounting surface with three screws
through back of case. Use a wooden shim for insulation if
surface is metal or masonry.
3. Thread two wires through knockout and connect to R and W
control terminals. Leads must be long enough to extend to
unit heater junction box.
4. Disconnect power to unit heater and open junction box on
unit heater. Select correct wiring diagram for unit heater
model (and size if applicable) and complete wiring of control
to unit.
Operational Check
1. Set room thermostat to its lowest setting and restore power
supply to unit heater.
2. Familiarize yourself with the adjustment knob of the energysaver control. In step 5 you will want to set it at 3-6 degrees
(approximately) above the thermostat, but for now, turning
the dial clockwise to a lower setting simulates a rise in
temperature and only the unit heater fan should come on. If
the wiring is correct, the controlled equipment will switch on
and off as the temperature dial indicates the approximate
space temperature.
3. If the controlled equipment does not start and stop as the
thermostat dial is turned, disconnect the power supply and
check the wiring and terminal connections.
4. If the controlled equipment operates opposite to the
sequence desired, shut off the power and check for
reversed leads on the switch.
5. After checkout, reset room thermostat to desired comfort
level. Set energy-saver control 3 to 6 degrees above
room thermostat (depending on mounting height, room
conditions, etc.) for ceiling air circulation.

1. Turn off gas and power supply to unit.
2. Determine which method of summer/winter control is desired, Figure 1, 2 or 3.
3. Wire unit according to the method selected. Note: If the method selected is as
described in Figure 3, the factory supplied buss bar between terminals "T2"
and "F" must be removed prior to wiring in thermostat and subbase.
4. Check wiring using the Check-Out Procedure.
Check-Out Procedure
With the power and gas supply turned off, set the thermostat to its lowest setting and
place the summer/winter switch to the winter position. After making these adjustments

2. Place the summer/winter switch in the summer position. The fan motor should start,
except when wired as shown in Figure 3. In that case, after a delay of
30 to 90 seconds, the fan motor should start.
3. While the summer/winter switch is still in the summer position, and with the fan motor
running, turn the thermostat up to call for heat. The power exhauster motor should
come on, the pressure switch should close, and the main burner should fire. Allow
burner to fire for 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Turn the thermostat down again. The main burner should shut off and the fan motor
should continue to run. During this step, allow the fan to run at least 90 seconds to
make sure it will continue running. Modine units are equipped with a time delay relay
and the motor will run 30 to 90 seconds after the time delay relay has been deenergized.
5. After insuring that the fan motor will continue to run in the summer position, and with
the thermostat set to its lowest setting, place the summer/winter switch in the winter
position and wait for the time delay relay to turn the fan motor off.
6. After the fan motor has stopped, and with the summer/winter switch in the winter
position, turn the thermostat up to call for heat. The power exhauster motor should
come on, the pressure switch should close, the main burner should fire and after a
delay of 30 to 90 seconds, the fan motor should run.
If the above sequence of operation does not occur, recheck all wiring until the
necessary correction to the wiring is found and corrected. Set the thermostat to the
desired set point and place summer/winter switch in desired position. Unit is now ready
for use.
