These instructions cover the installation of the following electric
heater models with AHR, AHE, and AHV single piece air han-

plug to easily connect the air handler power and controls.
These electric heat accessories are used for applications of
cooling with electric heat and heat pump with electric heat.
Each of the air handler unit models are approved for use with
specific electric heat accessories. The air handler unit installa-
tion instructions or name plate list the possible combinations
and other important electrical data and limitations. Refer to unit
