PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Upon a call for heat from the floor level or unit mounted
optional accessory thermostat, the unit fan motor and
heating elements shall be energized and remain ON until
temperature reaches setting of thermostat; at which time the
heating elements shall be deenergized.
The fan motor shall continue to run and purge heater casing
of residual heat until setting of fan override is reached, then
the fan motor shall be deenergized.
For those units with a factory installed two speed fan switch
(25-50KW), the unit as shipped from the factory is set to
"low" speed. Customer option to set to "high" speed. For
those units available with subdivided circuits, the accessory
two stage thermostat (optional) will, upon a call for heat,
energize fan motor and the first stage heating element.
Should temperature continue to fall, the thermostat shall
energize the second stage heating element.
Upon a rise in space conditions towards setting of the
thermostat, the two stages of heating elements shall be
deenergized in reverse sequence.
The fan motor shall continue to run and purge heater casing
of residual heat until setting of fan override is reached, then
the fan motor shall be deenergized.
The accessory unit mounted stratification thermostat
will energize the unit heater fan motor upon a rise in
temperature above its setting.

When the unit mounted stratification thermostat closes on a
temperature rise and at the same time the floor thermostat
calls for heat, the motor shall be energized immediately
and the heating element shall be energized, as previously
described.
The automatic reset safety high limit shall deenergize the
heating elements and control circuits should the temperature
exceed the setting of this device. The fan safety override
shall energize fan motor any time the setting of this device
is exceeded so as to purge heater casing of excess residual
heat.
When the accessory fan switch is placed in the ON position
(for summer air circulation), the unit heater fan motor shall
be energized.
NOTE: The wall thermostat is to be set to the OFF position
during this mode of operation (units with contactors).
For those accessory thermostats equipped with an integral
fan switch, place the switch in the HEAT, or AUTO position
for operation of the fan and elements which shall then be
under control of the thermostat as described above.
When switch is placed in the OFF position, the unit shall
be deenergized. When switch is placed in the FAN position,
elements shall be deenergized and fan shall be immediately
energized.

The TPI 5100 Series does not come with a built-in thermostat by default. However, it supports modular control kits for field installation, including thermostat kits, which can enable automatic shut-off.

What size space does a Taskmaster 220 heater service?

The TPI Taskmaster 5100 Series heater is designed for industrial and commercial spaces. Horizontal unit heaters are recommended for low bay areas with ceilings up to 15 to 18 feet. They should be placed along outside walls or areas of greatest heat loss and spaced to create circular air movement, where each heater supports the airflow of the others. The specific area coverage depends on the heater's wattage and BTU output, which ranges from 3.3 KW (11,260 BTUH) to 50.0 KW (170,600 BTUH).
