SECTION 10: WIRING
All heater models require constant 120 V / 1Ø / 60
Hz power supply. Check heater rating plate for
electrical rating for proper circuit sizing. For
servicing, a disconnect switch of proper electrical
rating should be installed in the vicinity of the heater.
All heaters are equipped with thermostat
connections suitable to power a 24 V thermostat.
Heater must be wired and electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes. In the absence of local
codes in accordance with: United States: refer to
National Electrical Code
®
NFPA 70 - latest revision
Canada: refer to Canadian Electrical Code CSA
C22.1 Part I - latest revision.
10.1 Positioning Thermostats
A room thermostat should be mounted on a
vibration-free wall or column at a height of
approximately 5' (1.5 m) from the floor to measure
the ambient temperature. It should be clear of both
cold drafts and the direct path of warm air from the
heater.
Avoid mounting thermostat on outside walls or in
areas directly exposed to radiant heat or sunlight.
Install wall tag in a visible location near thermostat.
See Page 5, Section 2.1 for wall tag details.
10.1.1 Fan Control
The heater’s axial fan can be used during the off-
season for air circulation. A low voltage
programmable thermostat with fan switch (P/N
90425400) must be used. See Page 21, Section
10.2 for thermostat connection details. For the use
of multiple heaters on one thermostat, See Page 22,
Section 10.3 through Page 23, Section 10.4.
