dUcT heaTer orienTaTion The SB & SB-M duct heaters can be installed in a vertical or horizontal conduit (see figure 3). In the case of a horizontal installation, the control panel should not face the floor or the ceiling (see figure 4). A wrong installation affects the safe and reliable operation of the unit.

baFFle insTallaTion Baffles have to be installed by matching the clips on the baffles to the holes on the heat body and by securing them with self-tapping screws. Then, they have to be cut in order to fit in the duct with a gap of 1/8” between the duct lining and the baffle edge. N.B.
posiTioning The dUcT TemperaTUre sensor The temperature-sensor of the duct must be placed on the supply side at a good distance from the duct heater in order to avoid as much exposure as possible from the radiation of the elements. FigUre 8 electrIcal coNNectIoNS elecTrical poWer sUpply...

aUTo-TransFer override In the event that a malfunction of the activated mode is detected, the duct heater will systematically override the activated mode and revert to its alternate mode. More specifically, the SB dual energy duct heater control board is equipped with a “duct” temperature-sensor. This device enables the controller to detect a malfunction in the heating system (electric or fuel).

ThermosTaT and FUrnace conTrol signals (sb series) The existing thermostat may be used to control the SB dual energy duct heater. The duct heater includes a control terminal block connection located directly on the circuit board. This makes it possible to connect the thermostat and the furnace control wires (R, W and g). Please refer to the following wiring diagrams to connect the thermostat and the furnace to the duct heater.

emergency Fossil FUel The EMERGENCy FOSSIL FUEL CONTROL MODE requires a one stage thermostat (W or y signal) + EMERGENCy MODE (E signal). This control mode allows the thermostat to use the fossil fuel furnace as a supplemental heat source. To enable the Fossil FUel only mode, the W14 (stage) jumper must be set to 2. As with the ELECTRIC/ ELECTRIC + HEAT PUMP MODE, the thermostat heat demands are conveyed to the duct heater (and heat pump if so equipped).

heaTing demand inTerlock (sb only) The demand for heat received by the control board can only operate one heating mode at a time even if the microcontroller is damaged. Indeed, an electromechanical interlock built into the control board, prevents the two heating modes from operating at the same time as a result of a damaged microcontroller requesting erratic demands.
