Electric Heaters

50TC 08-14 UNIT SIZES

50TC*08-14 units may be equipped with field-installed acces-
sory electric heaters. The heaters are modular in design, with
heater frames holding open coil resistance wires strung
through ceramic insulators, line-break limit switches and a
control contactor. One or two heater modules may be used in a
unit.
Heater modules are installed in the compartment below the
indoor (supply) fan outlet. Access is through the indoor access
panel. Heater modules slide into the compartment on tracks
along the bottom of the heater opening. See Fig. 52-54.
Not all available heater modules may be used in every unit.
Use only those heater modules that are UL listed for use in a
specific size unit. Refer to the label on the unit cabinet for the
list of approved heaters.
Unit heaters are marked with Heater Model Numbers. But
heaters are ordered as and shipped in cartons marked with a
corresponding heater Sales Package part number.
NOTE: The value in position 9 of the part number differs be-
tween the sales package part number (value is 1) and a bare
heater model number (value is 0).
