Assembly & Installation

  • Remove the heater and all of the packaging material from the box.
  • Check all of the packing material for loose parts and set aside.
  • Thoroughly inspect the heater for damage. If any is found do not contact the place of purchase. Please call the Manufacturer at 800-251-0001.

INCLUDED IN THE BOX:

  • Heater
  • Hanging bracket
  • Mounting plate
  • Swivel Plate
  • Angle adjustment knobs
  • Heater fastening bolts
  • 4-8 mm Nuts, Bolts and lock washers

To Assemble, use the 8 mm nuts, bolts and lock washers to the attach the swivel plate and the Mounting Plate to the hanging bracket See figure 1. The nut and lock washer should be on the underside.

Next, Locate a space to hang the heater on the ceiling. The selected space should leave enough room to maintain the clearance to combustibles outlined in the specifications table and should be located within 4 feet of your power connection or the location of where you plan to mount the junction box your heater will be supplied from.
Once a location has been selected, fasten the mounting bracket and accompanying hanging kit with 4 appropriately sized lag. bolts/or wall anchors that can support the weight of the heater (not included). The weight of your heater can be found in the specifications table. The best option is to attach the anchors directly into a solid surface like a joist or plywood. If that is not available consult with your local hardware store for other options. There are many different Drywall anchors or masonry anchors that will work.

Once you have selected a location and mounted the hanging brackets you can now hang the heater. It is recommend that you have help for this step. While you or your helper is holding the heater in place, Install the two large Phillips head bolts and angle adjustment knobs. See figure 2. At this point the heater should look like the photo on the front of this manual.

Wiring information:
The heaters covered in this manual are designed to be installed and serviced by only licensed trained professionals. Heaters should only be installed on a dedicated 240 volt circuit with a 30 amp double pole breaker. Refer to NEC code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-2011 for specifics.

Remote Thermostat:
Units equipped with a remote thermostat will need to have the cradle for the thermostat mounted in an appropriate location. Using two wall anchors, (not included) mount the Thermostat cradle to the wall. Select a location within 3.5 feet of the heater, The cradle should be mounted in a location as to not be affected by the air flow of the heater. if possible do not mount on an uninsulated wall or in direct sunlight. That may cause the heater to cycle unnecessarily.

Operational Information

Heat is created by electric current passing through coiled metal elements bringing them up to very high temperatures. The fan then passes room air over the hot elements exchanging cold air for warm. The air moving over the coils keeps them from reaching temperatures that are not safe for the normal operation of the heater, Therefor it is important to keep all combustible materials and any objects that may be sucked into the fan blades at a safe distance (please refer to the specification table for appropriate clearances). Make sure that, the fan blades remain unobstructed at all times. Keep unit clean and dust free. Do not block unit intake or exhaust at any time. If damage has occurred please refer to the parts listing in this manual and contact the manufacturer for a replacement.

The electrical circuit must be properly grounded, failure to do so may result in electric shock or property damage.

Always plug or wire heaters directly into a wall receptacle or appropriate junction box. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip)
These Electric forced air heaters are specifically designed to be permanently installed by hanging from ceiling or overhead structure, Do not attempt to use them as a portable heater.

Starting Instructions

  1. With the heater properly installed and the power supplied to the unit move the heat selection knob to the setting you want. There are both high and low settings, along with a fan only option, Refer to Figure 3, for information about each setting.
  2. Turn thermostat to desired setting, Clockwise will increase the set point, counter clockwise will reduce the setting, An audible click can be heard when the current temperature in the space is matched on the dial.
  3. The Heating element and fan will remain on until the temperature setting is reached. The heating element will cycle on and off as needed.

CONTROL

Control Overview

To Stop Heating

  1. Rotate the thermostat knob to the lowest position.
  2. Rotate the power switch in to the "off" position.

Maintenance


Never attempt to service the heater while the unit is hot or in use. Only qualified service technicians should service these units.

  • Thoroughly inspect the unit prior to use.
  • Keep heater clean and free of dust and debris.
  • The use of an air compressor can be used to blow out the dust from the heater case. Be sure to only use moderate air pressure as to not damage any internal components.
  • A soft dry cloth should be used for cleaning of outer shell and mounting brackets.
  • The fan motor is sealed and does not need to be lubricated.
