  • Page 7: Electrical Wiring

    Electrical Wiring Ruffneck fan-forced unit heaters and heat exchangers may be thermostatically controlled if required. Usually the flow of heat transfer fluid is allowed to pass through the heat exchanger without interruption. The fan motor, in such cases, shuts on and off by an electrical thermostat. Air flow through the heater is thus controlled. A small amount of heat will radiate from the heat exchanger when the fan is inoperative but this is usually tolerable.
  • Page 8: Repair And Replacement Procedures

    Repair and Replacement Procedures WARNING Disconnect heater from power supply before servicing or repairing heater. Lock the switch in the “OFF” (open) position and/or tag the switch to prevent unexpected power application. This heater should only be serviced by personnel with heating equipment experience. Some components of this heater are heavy and assistance will be required to remove them.
