ELECTRIC HEATERS

The 549K units can be equipped with field-installed accessory
electric heaters. The heaters are modular in design, with heater
frames holding open coil resistance wires strung through ce-
ramic insulators and control contactor(s), using a combination
of 24-v control side break/auto-reset or line-break/auto-reset
limit switches and a pilot-circuit/manual reset limit switch to
protect the unit against over-temperature situations. All 549K
Model electric heaters are one module containing either one or
two banks of electric heat coils.
Heater modules are installed in the compartment below the in-
door (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. 32-34.
Not all available heater modules can be used in every unit. Use
only those heater modules that are UL listed for use in a specif-
ic size unit. Refer to the label on the unit cabinet regarding
approved heaters.

Single Point Boxes and Supplementary Fuses

When the unit MOCP device value exceeds 60A, unit-mounted
supplementary fuses are required for each heater circuit. These
fuses are included in accessory single point boxes, with power
distribution and fuse blocks. The single point box will be
installed directly under the unit control box, just to the left of
the partition separating the indoor section (with electric heat-
ers) from the outdoor section. The single point box has a
hinged access cover. See Fig. 35.

SWITCH
On 549K units, all fuses are 60A. Single point boxes contain-
ing fuses for 208/230-v applications use UL Class RK5 250-v
fuses (Bussmann FRNR 60 or Shawmut TR 60R). Single point
boxes for 460-v and 575-v applications use UL Class T 600-v
fuses (Bussmann JJS 60 or Shawmut A6T 60). (Note that all
heaters are qualified for use with a 60A fuse, regardless of ac-
tual heater ampacity, so only 60A fuses are necessary.)

Safety Devices

CRHEATERS323A00 - 341A00 electric heater applications
use a combination of 24-v control side break/auto-reset, line-
break/non-resettable "one shot" limit switches and a fan sta-
tor/manual reset limit switch to protect the unit against over-
temperature situations.
