I. IMPORTANT INFORMATION - READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION The following terms are used throughout this manual to bring attention to the presence of hazards of various risk levels, or to important information concerning product life. i l i f i l .
(including specifi cations where applicable). UNIT SUSPENSION Horizontal Delivery Units, Model BH Series All horizontal delivery units have two tapped holes (3/8”-16) in the top for unit suspension. Piping support hangers or clamps are recommended and should be placed as close to the unit heater as possible.
Units with explosion-proof motors have an explosion- proof junction box attached to the motor. Any damage to or failure of Burnham Hydronics heater units caused by incorrect wiring of the units is not covered by Burnham Hydronics standard warranty.

6. To insure proper sequence of operation, cycle unit on and off a few times by raising and lowering thermostat setting. 7. Check for proper rotation of fan. All fans must rotate in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the back (BH) of the unit heater.
Use high-pressure air hose to loosen dirt by blowing from side where air leaves coil (side adjacent to louvers on blow-through units (BH); side adjacent to fan on draw-through units (BV)). For thorough cleaning of coil, remove motor and fan and spray a mild alkaline cleaning solution over the coil.
2. The second step is to decide the necessary engineering data for design conditions such as CFM, fi nal air temperature, quantity and location of units, based on the specifi c Burnham Hydronics Unit Heater model selected. 3. Burnham Hydronics steam/hot water unit heaters’...
