Warmflo equipped electric duct heater

Quick Links

Application – total electric systems.
-
Air or water source heat pumps
-
Air handler includes refrigerant coil, blower inlet
-
No standby or gas furnace provisions
Utility load control – as a total electric application, we assume no utility control or switchover to
automatic standby. However, if this is not the case the electrical hookup section suggests wiring for load
control receiver connection. If installation also requires switchover to automatic standby furnace, call
factory for necessary furnace interface module (WF-EM3, WF-LGR3, or WF-EZ3).
To meet the above application, this WarmFlo system comes with a multi-coded chip. If factory default
does not match your application, reference HD320 for other setup parameters.

  • Page 3 INTRODUCTION Prior to installation we recommend that the installer verify the product intended application is applicable to your current installation needs. This product provides generic forced air electric resistance heater designed for air handler, heat pump, or blower cabinet outlet duct installation. The relationship of the blower outlet to this insert heater must be according to the specific mechanical installation or instruction in detail of this manual.

  • Page 5: Mechanical Installation

    MECHANICAL INSTALLATION NOTE: When installing or mounting this duct heater within four feet of the blower outlet, the following steps must be followed as detailed and shown in the appropriate drawing. This is necessary because the airflow from the blower outlet, A-coil, T-Duct, elbows, etc., is very non-uniform. The elements themselves must be centered over the blower opening width (wheel width) and the element rack must be in line with the blower outlet outer edge, see Figure 2.
  • Page 6: Electrical Hookup

    ELECTRICAL HOOKUP High Voltage 240 VOLT SOURCE - Locate correct model number and KW size in Table 1 to determine operating current and minimum source circuit breaker size. According to local codes, building type, wiring run distance, etc., use the appropriate electric conductor size for the 240-volt source power. Connect to fuse block/input terminals (10KW is terminal block only).
  • Page 7 Built-in compressor ODT – if using the built-in ODT function, there must be an added relay to open the yellow wire going to the outside unit, dotted insert diagram on HH310. This must be a small, low current, 24- volt DC relay as shown or order EE-5053 part from Electro Industries. 06/07/2016...
  • Page 8: Controller Setup Or Programming

    CONTROLLER SETUP OR PROGRAMMING Important - Located on the WF II board is a firmware chip that determines a specific set of defaults. This can also be programmed (altered) with optional PC software (ET-SOFT-WF) or a plug-in WarmFlo analyzer (WF- ANZ*).
  • Page 9 Center dial switch – temperature (efficiency dial) vs. outside – see later section “Heat Loss Curve”, the numbers below set a duct or supply temperature point at 0° degree outside. This allows the installer or user to determine the WarmFlo controller heat loss slope or how fast the supply temperature rises based upon a decrease in outside temperature.
  • Page 10: Operation Indicators

    OPERATION INDICATORS WarmFlo II Controller Strip Heat Disable – To maximize heat pump system energy efficiency and preventing “accidental” unnecessary resistant strip heat when it is not required, this WarmFlo II controller disables or locks out strip heat elements based upon outdoor temperature. Stage 1 - 5ØF Stage 2 - 38F Stage 3 - 36F...
  • Page 11: Installation Checkout

    INSTALLATION CHECKOUT Insert plenum thermometer 6” to 8” above the electric element section, position to measure the warm air from the electric elements. Proceed with the following procedure, observing the various staging action, element power current, and the outlet temperature. Verify controller setup dial switch settings per previous section.

    TROUBLESHOOTING Comment: Also see the “WarmFlo Information” document (HD320) included with this manual. Sensor Temperature Calibration - Both remote sensors are digital electronic and factory calibrated. Normally these do not require field calibration or verification. However, if sensor temperature error is determined, there are two field calibration techniques.
  • Page 13: Operational Information

    OPERATIONAL INFORMATION In order for the installer to completely understand the WF II functions and operational sequence it is recommended to thoroughly read and understand the information below. This knowledge can help in determining settings that can be set according to the end customers needs. Normal Heating Operation –...

  • Page 27 2016 Update In the spring of 2016, an update was made to the main WarmFlo II controller to encompass all chip codes into one single control module. There is now a dial labeled “MODE” (SW6) which allows the selection of the various chip codes. NOTE: Upon changing of this dial, a power down reset is required.
  • Page 28 WarmFlo Terminology, Key Terms ST – supply temperature sensor. This is the warm air or duct sensor (boiler – supply outlet water). OT – outdoor temperature sensor. Provides the WarmFlo board with outdoor temperature information. DT – desired temperature to overcome building heat loss, the diagonal line on heat loss curve. The front panel efficiency knob selects one of 8 curves to determine DT at specific real time OT.
  • Page 29 the homeowner can easily activate all stages on to the end of the thermostat cycle. Warning: This is all stages on, no temperature monitor. This should only be used in this manner when it is a very cold building from non-occupancy, the outdoor temperature is quite low with low temperature rise coming from the heat pump.
  • Page 30 HP – interrupts only the outdoor compressor unit, electric energy continues without an OT temperature shut down reference Note: "0" position does not disable outdoor sensor. This only disables the built-in heat pump ODT function. With the dial switch "0" position the heat pump becomes a direct function of the room thermostat and/or standby mode.
  • Page 31 Delay on/delay off – within all Interface modules there is an approximate 10 to 15 second blower on delay and a 1-minute blower off delay. In the case of a heat pump stat, this can be bypassed by taking the stat “G” screw directly to the interface module tab “G1”...

  • Page 33 When the warm air sensor is calling for more than the heat pump and Stage 1 100% output, Stage 2, etc. turns on. Stage 1 may not necessarily remain at 100%, but can be modulated downward to meet the requirements of the warm air sensor. Also on the next call for heat, the WarmFlo II controller remembers what stages were on and starts at that point.
  • Page 34 Outdoor sensor reference or heating requirement level* – the outdoor digital sensor “tells” the WarmFlo “brain” its desired (DT) value or decision making capability. This is for desired or required supply temperatures greater than the “min. warm air” horizontal line setting. At each internal calculation cycle a DT is determined by reading the outdoor temperature (OT) and then finding the appropriate warm air point on the appropriate or selected diagonal line.
