Electrical Supply

WARNING: Electrical shock hazard.
Turn OFF electric power at fuse box or service panel
before making any electrical connections and ensure a
proper ground connection is made before connecting line
voltage.
All electrical connections and wiring MUST be installed by
a qualifi ed electrician and conform to the National Electrical
Code and all local codes which have jurisdiction.
Failure to do so can result in property damage, personal
injury and/or death.

Supply Circuit

The system cannot be expected to operate correctly unless
the system is properly connected (wired) to an adequately
sized single branch circuit. Check the installation manual
and/or technical data for your particular unit and/or strip
heaters to determine if the circuit is adequately sized.

Supply Voltage

To insure proper operation, supply voltage to the system
should be within fi ve (5) percent (plus or minus) of listed
rating plate voltage.

Control (Low) Voltage

To insure proper system operation, the transformer
secondary output must be maintained at a nominal 24 volts.
The control (low) voltage transformer is equipped with
multiple primary voltage taps. Connecting the primary,
(supply) wire to the tap (i.e., 208 and 240 volts) that most
closely matches the MEASURED supply voltage will insure
proper transformer secondary output is maintained.
Supply Voltage
Supply voltage to the unit should be a nominal 208/230 volts.
It must be between 197 volts and 253 volts. Supply voltage
to the unit should be checked WITH THE UNIT IN
OPERATION. Voltage readings outside the specifi ed range
can be expected to cause operating problems. Their cause
MUST be investigated and corrected.

Electrical Ground

GROUNDING OF THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO ALL
UNITS IS REQUIRED for safety reasons.
