AIR HEATING FROM THE SAME VERSATILE UNIT
These heavy-duty heaters provide spot heating for hard to
heat areas, or they can be used as the primary source of
heat for areas not reached by an existing heating system.
The fan and motor are carefully matched to insure quiet,
trouble-free operation and fan blades are precision balanced
before installation.
Heaters in all capacities (3, 5, 7-1/2, 10 or 12kw) have the
same dimensions, and use the same mounting brackets. All
components and controls, including thermostat, transformers,
relays, and switches are enclosed inside the case. Wiring
is simple and all heaters can operate from a single power
source.
HEaTEr LOCaTiOn
Unit heaters should be located along outside walls to provide
perimeter air circulation. The discharge air should wipe the
walls without blowing directly on them. (Figure 1)
• Small rooms - can be heated by one or two units.
Locate the unit heater(s) to provide circular air movement
within the space.
• Large rooms - requiring multiple unit installations. Units
should be located so that the discharge air from one unit
supports the discharge from another unit and provides a
circular air movement.
• remote thermostats
- should be located on interior
walls or posts away from heat sources, cold drafts, and
away from heater discharge streams.
mOUnTing UniT HEaTEr(S
Heater should be mounted a minimum of ten (10) inches
from walls and six (6) feet above floor (8 feet for vertical air
flow) with the discharge parallel to or away from wall.
• mOUnTing BraCKET
a mounting bracket packed separately in the carton.
Secure the bracket to threaded attachment points on
the sides of the heater with two bolts (provided). Select
desired angle of tilt (Horizontal, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, or
Vertical), remove corresponding knockouts on sides
of the heater, then screw the remaining two bolts into
the threaded holes in the bracket so that the bolts pass
through the knockout holes. The unit is now ready for
hanging.
• CEiLing mOUnTing
the ceiling using the center hole in the bracket or the two
holes on either side of the center hole. The Unit mounting
bracket may be attached directly to the ceiling.
• WaLL mOUnTing - The heater may also be mounted
to a wall with accessory wall bracket, Part # EUHWB.
The wall bracket attaches to the center hole of the unit
mounting bracket.
