TJERNLUND COMMERCIAL IN-FORCER
The IN-FORCER commercial combustion air intake systems are designed and Listed for use with atmospheric or induced combustion gas and oil heat-
ing equipment. The IN-FORCER functions as the source of combustion air, eliminating the need for louvered openings. Duct up to 100 equivalent feet
through a sidewall or roof from Intake Hood. The IN-FORCER assures intake air is supplied by monitoring the air flow with a Fan Proving Switch. The
main burner will be interrupted if a malfunction occurs. Complies with IMC and NFPA combustion air requirements.
PAI-3 Motor: 115/1/60, 3000 RPM, 95 watts, 1.26 FLA, Thermal Prot.
PAI-5 Motor: 115/1/60, 1725 RPM, 1/4 HP, 5.4 Amps, Thermal Prot.
PAI-7 Motor: 115/208/230/1/60, 1725 RPM, 1 HP, 12.6/6.3/6.2 Amps, Thermal Prot.
Single Appliance Interlock: We recommend the use of the Model UC1 Universal Control when interlocking with a single appliance. The UC1 is suit-
able for 24 or 115 VAC appliance interlocks or "dry contact" actuation and features Pre / Post-Purge options, LED diagnostics and Fan Prover status
checking. The UC1 is standard on Tjernlund's HS-Series Power Venters (Except HSUL -Series) or can be added when using a Draft Inducer. The
UC1 can control both the IN-FORCER and Venter/Inducer if the combined motor load is under 1 H.P. If wiring the PAI-7 motor for 208-230 VAC in
conjunction with the UC1, a 115 VAC coil, DPST motor contactor rated for 1 H.P. is required. If the UC1 control is not used, a 24 or 115 VAC relay
(based on appliance control circuit voltage) suitable to handle the PAI motor load may be used to activate the IN-FORCER motor. IN-FORCER can
be directly wired into 115 VAC appliance control circuits as long as contacts of the circuit can handle the additional load of IN-FORCER motor.
Multiple Appliance Interlocks: Requires use of UC1 Universal Control and MAC1E for two appliances. UC1 and MAC4E are required for up to five
appliances. MAC4Es can be daisy chained together for more than 5 appliances. Each millivolt appliance requires a WHKE millivolt interlock kit. If
wiring the PAI-7 motor for 208-230 VAC in conjunction with the UC1, a 115 VAC coil, DPST motor contactor rated for 1 H.P. is required.
Fan Proving Switch: If using the UC1 Universal Control, 5 VDC board supplied power is switched through the Fan Prover. If not using the UC1, do not
exceed 3 FLA or 1/10 HP through proving switch contacts or an isolation relay will have to be added.
High Limit: Manual reset N/C contacts, open at 160° + 8° F, 14 FLA @120 VAC. The high limit switch will deactivate the IN-FORCER if temperature
adjacent to high limit reaches the set point. Reset button is located on inside of cabinet on electrical box side of IN-FORCER.
