• System Sentinel
all models employ a diagnostic panel
utilizing light emitting diodes (L.E.D.),
corresponding to the number and
location of each heating element.
L.E.D.’s are energized when the elec-
tric elements are operating. An unlit
L.E.D. pinpoints the exact location of
a non-functioning element, making
element operation diagnosis simple
and positive.
The minimum distance to provide
adequate clearance for protection of
combustible material is 0 inches from
jacket and 18 inches from access door.
However, additional clearance for
accessibility to permit inspection and
servicing such as removing heating
elements or checking controls must be
provided. All models are approved for
installation on combustible flooring.
Heavy Duty Electric continued.
