II. GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Open all disconnect switches before installing the unit. If the po wer disconnect is out of sight, lock it in the open position and ta g it to prevent unexpected application of power. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death from electrical shock.
Failure to comply with the general requirements may result in extensive property damage, severe personal injury or death.
Never service any component without fi rst disconnecting all electrical and gas supplies to the unit or severe personal injury or death may occur.
1. Installation must be made in accordance with local codes, or in absence of local codes, with the latest edition of ANSI Standard Z223.1 (N.F.P.A. No 54) National Fuel Gas Code. All ANSI and NFP A Standards referred to in these installation instructions are the ones that were applicable at the time the design of this appliance was certifi ed. The ANSI Standards are available from the National Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036 or www. ansi.org. The NFPA Standards are available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy , Massachusetts 02269. The heaters are designed for use in airplane hangers when installed in accordance with ANSI/NFP A No . 409 and in public garages when installed in accordance with the NFP A No. 88A and NFPA No. 88B.
2. If installed in Canada, the installation must conform with local building codes, or in the absence of local building codes, with the current CSA-B149.1 or B149.2 “Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment”. These indoor duct furnaces have been designed for and certifi ed to comply with CSA 2.6.
5. Follow installation instructions CAREFULLY to avoid creating unsafe conditions. All wir ing should be done and checked by a qualifi ed electrician, using copper wire only . All gas connections should be made and leak-tested by a suitably qualifi ed individual, per instructions in this manual.
6. Use only the fuel for which the heater is designed (see nameplate). Using LP gas in a heater that requires natural gas, or vice versa, will create the risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning and explosion.
Do not attempt to convert the heater for use with a fuel other than the one intended. Such conversion is danger ous, as it could create unsafe conditions that result in death, serious injury or substantial property damage.
7. Make certain that power source conforms to electrical requirements of heater. Disconnect power before installing or servicing heater. If power disconnect is out of sight, lock it in open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power. Failure to do so could result in fatal electric shock.
Do not depend upon a thermostat or other switch as the sole means of disconnecting power when installing or servicing heater. Always disconnect power at main circuit breaker as described above. Failure to do so could result in fatal electric shock.
8. Special attention must be given to any grounding information pertaining to this heater. To prevent the risk of electrocution, the heater must be securely and adequately grounded. This should be accomplished by connecting a grounded conductor from the service panel to the conduit box of the heater. T o ensure proper ground, the g rounding means must be tested by qualifi ed fi eld electrician.
3. No alterations are to be made on this equipment. The duct furnace section (capacities 100 thru 400 MBH)
of these make-up air units are certifi ed by ETL for use with natural and LP (propane) gases!
Do not alter the duct furnace in any way or damage to the unit, se vere personal injury or death will occur.
4. Make certain that the power sources conform to the requirements of the heater.
— 3 —
9. Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the heater or its air moving device. Do not bloc k or tamper with the heater in any manner while in operation or just after it has been turned off, as some parts may be hot enough to cause injury.
10. This heater is intended for general heating applications ONLY. It must NOT be used in potentially dangerous locations such as fl ammable explosive, chemical-laden or wet atmospheres.
In cases in which property damage may result from malfunction of the heater, a backup system or a temperature sensitive alarm should be used.
LOCATION
Before placing the Make-Up Air unit in its permanent location, make certain that the structure is capable of carrying the additional load of this equipment. Check the unit weight given at the end of this manual.
LOCA TIONS TO A V OID
Unit heaters should not be installed within corrosive or fl ammable atmospheres. Do not locate any gas fi red heater where air for combustion contains chlorinated vapors or acid fumes.
Refer to unit data plate for required clear ances to combustible material, and Figure 11 for manufacturer’ s recommendations .
Do not place unit in a location where service personnel can not safely service this equipment or personal injury could result.
NOTICE: When selecting a location for these Make­Up Air Units, both the size of the unit and the heating requirements of the building must be considered.
NOTICE: The furnace section(s) of this unit is equipped for bottom access serviceability only! Provide adequate clearance (base rail to fl oor is 18 inches minimum).
COMBUSTION AIR CONSIDERATIONS
The presence of chlorine vapors or other corrosive vapors in the combustion air supply for gas-fi red heating equipment presents a potential corrosive hazard. Chlorine will, when exposed to fl ame, precipitate from the compound (usually freon or degreaser vapors) and go into solution with any condensation that is present in the heat exchanger or associated parts. The result is hydrochloric acid which will readily attack all metals, including 300 grade stainless steel. Care should be taken to separate these vapors from the combustion process.
Presence of these air impurities can cause premature failure of the heat exchanger and void the warranty (See limited warranty on page 30).
The venting system must be installed in accordance with heater manufacturer’ s instructions. The venting system is an integral part of the unit and must not be altered in
the fi eld!
MOUNTING HEIGHT
1.
When a Gas Fired Make-Up Air Handler is discharging directly into the heated space, a mounting height of eight feet (2.4m) above the fl oor is recommended. Less effi cient air distribution results at higher levels.
2. When Gas Fired Indoor Make-Up Air Handlers are
installed in airplane hangars, NFP A specifi es that the units must be at least ten feet (3.0m) abov e the upper surface of wings or engine enclosures of the highest aircraft to be stored in the hangar. This measurement should be made from the wing or engine enclosure (whichever is higher from the fl oor) to the bottom of the heater. Heaters must be installed at least eight feet (2.4m) abov e the fl oor in shops, offi ces, and other sections of the hangar where aircraft are not stored or housed. Refer to NFPA 409 Aircraft Hangars.
3. In parking structures, Gas Fired Indoor Make-Up Air
Handlers must be installed so that the burner fl ames are located 18" (457mm) above the fl oor or protected by a partition not less than 18" (457mm) high as specifi ed in NFPA 88A Parking Structures.
4. In public repair garages, Gas Fired Make-Up Air
Handlers must be installed in a detached building or room separated from repair areas as specifi ed in NFPA 88B Repair Garages.
— 4 —
SUSPENSION/RIGGING
Make certain that the structure to which the single, dual, triple furnace and air handler sections is to be mounted is capable of supporting its weight. Under no circumstances must the gas lines, the venting system or the electrical conduit be used to support the heater; or should any other objects (i.e. ladder, person) lean against the heater , gas lines, venting system or the electrical conduit for support.
The unit should never be lifted by any unit component other than the base rail assembly. Unit components other than base rail assembly are not designed to support the total weight and may break, causing personal injury or unit damage.
Units can be set on field furnished supports/cradle with access available to furnace bottom section, or suspended by rod hangers from the sub-frame (and lifting brackets).
Any unit that has a side base rail longer than 104" (2.6m) requires additional fi eld furnished supports by a qualifi ed installer. Refer to all dimensional data in this manual. If further information is required, contact the manufacturer’s technical service department.
Rig unit using either belt or cable slings. Use spreader bars to protect the top of the unit when it is lifted. Mak e sure all hardware used in the lifting/mounting process is tightened and secured.
Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for Single Furnace Make-Up Air Unit rigging requirements. Refer to Figures 3, 4 and 5 for Dual/Tr iple Furnace Make-Up Air Unit rigging requirements, which ships to the site in two sections (Figure 3 is the air handler section and 4 and 5 are the furnace sections.).
On units with a total length of less than 104" (2642mm), excluding evaporative cooler, two holes are provided in the base rail on each side of the unit. Slide pipes beneath the unit through these holes and attach rigging to pipes for lifting the unit.
On units with a total length of a 104" (2642mm) or greater, excluding evaporative cooler, lifting lugs/brackets attached to the base rail are provided. Once the unit is set in place these lifting brackets may be removed if required.
Attach rigging to lugs/brackets for lifting the unit. For distance between lifting lugs/brackets and total unit lengths, refer to the Dimensional Data section of this manual.
The unit must be hung level from side to side and front to back. It is recommended to use the (9/16" diameter) hanging holes in the skid rail, and 1/2" threaded rod or pipe, and/or whatever other supports may be required to adequately support the unit. A fi eld supplied cradle or other means of support may also be required. The installer is responsible for determining adequate and safe suspension methods.

DUCT CONNECTIONS
All ductwork must be properly supported so that no strain is put on the unit. Do not alter or bend the discharge duct fl anges supplied on your make-up air unit.
Duct connections must have a removable access panel in the duct which is connected to a duct furnace. The duct openings shall be accessible when the unit is installed in service, and shall be of such size that smoke or refl ected light may be observed inside the casing to indicate the presence of leaks in the heating element. The covers for the panels shall be attached in such a manner as to prevent leaks . Ducts (or optional outside air hoods) exposed to the outdoors must be insulated and sealed to prevent water from entering either the unit or building through the duct.
To avoid equipment damage or possible personal injury, do not connect gas piping to this unit until a supply line pressure/ leak test has been completed. Connecting the unit before completing the pressure/leak test may damage the unit gas valve and result in a fi re hazard.
Do not rely on a gas shutoff valve to isolate the unit while conducting gas pressure/leak tests. These valves may not be completely shutoff, exposing the unit gas valve to excessive pressure, resulting in damage.
Do not over-tighten the inlet gas piping at unit gas valve or stresses that could crack the valve may result.
If a single, double or triple duct furnace only unit is connected to a return air duct, or any other inlet air restriction, the appliance shall be installed on the positive pressure side of the air circulating blower.
When connecting return air duct to Standard or High CFM cabinets, attach duct to return air opening fl ange when no dampers are used. Otherwise, if dampers are used, attach return air duct around collar at bottom of damper assembly. Also refer to the Dimensional Data section of this manual, Submittal Data Sheets and Indoor Duct Furnace Manual specifi ed for your unit.
GAS PIPING††
All gas piping must be installed in accordance with local codes. It is required that a ground union be installed adjacent to the gas valve of each duct furnace, and a ground union be installed just external of each duct furnace for unit servicing. On vertical runs, a drip leg should be provided upstream of any control manifold. A gas shutoff valve should be, or may be required by local codes, installed upstream of the external ground union for each duct furnace. A 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the unit gas supply connection.
Never use an open fl ame to detect gas leaks. Explosive conditions may e xist which would result in personal injury or death.
The gas line should be supported so that no strain is placed on the unit. Pipe compounds which are not solub le to liquid petroleum gases must be used on threaded joints.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the individual manual shutoff valv e during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Do not use any tools (i.e. screwdriver, pliers, etc.) across terminals to check for po wer. Use of a voltmeter is recommended.
Locate the thermostat in accordance with the instructions supplied with the thermostat. All fi eld wiring must have a minimum temperature rating of 185°F (85°C). Control wiring shall be a minimum of 18 gauge wire size. Control wiring must be sized for length of run.
HAZARDOUS VOL TAGE!
DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRIC POWER INCLUDING REMOTE DISCONNECTS BEFORE SERVICING. Failure to disconnect power before servicing can cause severe personal injury or death.
All electrical connections must conform to: the latest edition of ANSI/NFPA No. 70, National Electrical Code, and applicable local codes. In Canada, to the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I CSA Standard C22.1.
Single furnace make-up air packaged units are wired at the factory and are ready to be connected. Multiple furnace make-up air units are shipped in two parts, the air handler section and the furnace section. After mounting the two sections and installing the fl exible duct connector, connect the free end of the fl exible conduits from the air handler section to the junction box on the duct furnace. Each wire has a distinctive marking. Connect each wire to its respectively marked terminal in the duct furnace junction box. See Figure 13A. Actual unit wiring will differ according to the options chosen. Each unit is shipped with its own wiring diagram; refer to this wiring diagram for all electrical connections to the unit.
Locate line voltage disconnect box per local codes. If mounting the disconnect box to the unit, never mount it to a unit access panel. Possible locations include the front of the blower or fi lter section (See Figure 15). Electrical conduit must be routed so as not to interfere with removal of any access panel.
NOTICE: Should any original wire supplied with the unit have to be replaced, it must be replaced with wiring having a temperature rating of at least 221°F (105°C).
Figure 13A
All line voltage and thermostat connections are made in the Electrical Cabinet (See Figure 13B). Line voltage connections are made at the High Voltage Terminal Block. Thermostat connections are made at the Main Connection Board (See Figure 14).
