WIRING DIAGRAMS
Models HER, VE, PTE electric unit heaters
Two-In One Diagrams
Two wiring diagrams are furnished for each circuit configuration
in this manual. Included are a connection diagram at the left
for field installation and a circuit schematic at the right to aid in
continuity and trouble shooting.
Solid lines show pre-wiring performed at the factory; dotted
lines inform the installer of connections required to put the
heater in operation.
NOTE: As indicated in every diagram, all wiring must comply
with the National Electrical Code and all local codes. All
components must agree with their respective power source.
Wiring Diagram Selection
Diagrams are readily identified in the page location index on
the following page. This allows for the correct wiring diagram
to be selected using the model, size, and power code of the
unit heater.
Select the correct wiring diagrams as follows:
1. Determine unit heater model and size.
2. Select power code number from Table 2.3.
3. Reference unit heater model in the Page Location Index
(Table 2.4) with power code number of the corresponding
wiring diagram.
CAUTION
Turn off all power to unit before wiring. Failure to wire this unit
according to this wiring diagram may result in injury to the
installer or user. For deviations, contact factory.
Abbreviations and Symbols
To facilitate interpretation and enable simplification
the abbreviations and symbols have been selected as
recommended by ANSI (American National Standards
Institute) and NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers
Association) standards.
