5.2 HEATER POWER CONNECTION AND CURRENT PROTECTION The power supply connection must be made using a separate switchboard, which is not supplied by VTS. The heater connection should be made in such a way that the heater cannot be switched on when the fan is not switched on - this is ensured by factory-fitted, series-connected safety devices in the form of a thermostat and pressure switch, which prevent the heater from being switched on if the temperature and air flow conditions are not met.

5.3 THERMAL CUT-OUT (THERMIC) The functionality of the thermostat is based on the properties of the bimetallic element - it causes the contacts of the heater control circuit to open when the air temperature near the thermostat is 65°C. After an emergency shutdown, the heater automatically switches on when the air temperature drops by 20°C.
5.4 DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SWITCH The differential pressure switch is another safety element, in addition to the thermostat, which prevents the heater from operating under unallowable conditions. It prevents the heater from switching on if the pressure generated by the fan units on the supply side of the air handling unit is insufficient to ensure safe operation of the heating elements.
