1.0 SPECIAL NOTICES
1.1 The following special notices highlight
important information in the installation and
maintenance sections. Each serves a special
purpose and is displayed in the format shown:
This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, can result in
personal injury or damage to the equipment.
This symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, may be a
shock hazard.
This symbol indicates an imminently hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
2.0 PRE-INSTALLATION
2.1 Initially, inspect the heater for possible
damage due to shipping and handling. Claims
for shipping damages shall be placed with the
carrier.
2.2 Check the heater nameplate to ensure that
the heater area classication and temperature
code are suitable for the hazardous area
classication. For details of hazardous
locations with potential for explosion, refer
to the Canadian Electrical Code or National
Electrical Code.
2.3 Check to ensure that the heater voltage is the
same as the supply voltage.
2.4 The heater must be installed by qualied
personnel in strict compliance with national
and local electrical codes.
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT THE HEATER TO AN
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY VOLTAGE OTHER
THAN THAT SHOWN ON THE PRODUCT
NAMEPLATE.
3.0 INSTALLATION - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
3.1 NorsemanTM XB heaters are approved for wall
or oor mounting with the terminal housing at
the bottom. Ensure that is the wall sufciently
strong to support the heater which, depending
on the model, could weigh up to 100 lbs (45
kg). Otherwise use the brackets supplied to
stand the heater on the oor.
3.2 Do not recess the NorsemanTM XB heater
into the wall. Use of the brackets supplied will
ensure that the minimum spacing from the
wall of 3.75” (95 mm) is maintained.
3.3 If more than one heater is being installed,
maintain at least 3” (76 mm) between adjacent
heater extrusions. NEVER INSTALL ONE
HEATER ABOVE THE OTHER.
3.4 The NorsemanTM XB heater relies on natural
convection and “black heat” radiation to transfer
heat to the surroundings. Try to maintain a 12”
(300 mm) clearance and NEVER LESS THAN
6” (150 mm) clearance in front of and at the
sides of the heater.
3.5 Use guard rails in front of the heater if there
is a possibility that moving equipment could
come in contact with the heater.

and ush with the top of the heat sink. If
reector bafes move freely, open the fold
with a screw driver to improve the friction and
reinstall bafes.

WARNING
IMPROPER ORIENTATION OF THE HEATER
COULD AFFECT THE SAFE AND RELIABLE
OPERATION OF THE HEATER.
7.0 THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
7.1 FACTORY INSTALLED - For shipping
purposes the thermostat well (located at back
of unit) has not been installed.
Position thermostat bulb perpendicular to
housing being careful not to kink the capillary.
Slide well over bulb and screw into place. Make
sure that a minimum 5 threads engagement is
achieved.
7.2 FIELD INSTALLED KIT - Most NorsemanTM
XB units are suitable for eld installation of a
thermostat kit with the operator shaft hole on the
front side of the unit and plugged with a socket
head cap screw. If a thermostat is to be eld
installed, check to verify that you have been
supplied with the correct thermostat kit. Single
phase heaters use a single pole thermostat
as supplied in kit number XTKW04481. Three
phase heaters use a double pole thermostat
as supplied in kit number XTKW04483. Follow
the instructions supplied with the kit.
8.0 WIRING
8.1 Whenever hazardous materials are present,
ensure that the terminal housing covers are
secure before powering the heater.
8.2 Use supply wires suitable for 221°F (105°C).
8.3 Use approved conduit and conduit seals as
required by the code for hazardous locations.
8.4 To provide maximum protection each
NorsemanTM XB heater should be fused
individually using the nearest standard fuse
size which is not less than 120% of the
expected line current.
8.5 All heaters come factory prewired and ready
for direct connection to the power supply
leads.
(a) Connect the power leads to terminals
marked L1 and L2 for single phase and L1,
L2 & L3 for three phase heaters as shown in
Figure 9.
(b) Connect the ground wire to the ground
connection located in the heater terminal
housing.

WARNING
WHENEVER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ARE
PRESENT, ENSURE THAT THE TERMINAL
HOUSING COVERS, PLUGS, ETC., ARE
SECURED (BUT NOT OVER-TIGHTENED)
BEFORE ENERGIZING THE HEATER.
CAUTION
ALL CIRCUITS MUST BE IN THE OPEN
POSITION BEFORE REMOVING JUNCTION
OR TERMINAL BOX COVERS.
CAUTION
USE SUPPLY WIRES SUITABLE FOR 221°F
(105°C). SUPPLY WIRES ARE TO BE FUSED
WITHAPPROPRIATELYSIZED HRC FUSING.
WARNING
USE APPROVED CONDUIT AND CONDUIT
SEALS AS REQUIRED BY HAZARDOUS
LOCATION STANDARDS.
CAUTION
ENSURE THAT NO POWER IS CONNECTED
TO THE EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO MAKING
ANY CONNECTIONS.
9.0 START-UP
9.1 For heaters with a tamper-proof thermostat,
to set temperature, disconnect the power and
remove the socket head cap screw. Set the
thermostat to the desired room temperature
with a screw driver and replace cap screw.
9.2 For heaters with an externally adjustable
thermostat, set thermostat to desired
temperature by adjusting the dial.
NOTE: The thermostat temperature range is 0° -
100°F (-18° - 40°C) with an operating differential of
5 - 7°F (3 - 4°C).
9.3 Install the terminal box cover and tighten
securely.
9.4 Check to ensure that all plugs, screws, and
covers are securely in place.
9.5 Check associated electrical equipment.
9.6 Check that all wall/oor mounting bracket
connections are tight.
9.7 Turn on the supply power.
WARNING
TO PREVENT UNSAFE OPERATION OF THE
HEATER DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
ALLOWABLE AMBIENT OPERATING
TEMPERATURE OF 104°F (40°C).
10.0 MAINTENANCE
10.1 Periodically inspect the heater installation to
ensure that all connections, ttings, plugs,
screws, covers, etc. are tight and free of
corrosion.
10.2 Check that the reector bafes (if required)
have not moved upwards or downwards in
relation to the heat sink.
10.3 Check the extrusions of the heater for dust
and debris. A blast of compressed air is
recommended for cleaning the heat sink. If air
is not available, disconnect the power supply
to the heater and when cool, wipe it down
with a damp cloth or soft brush. Remove wire
guards prior to cleaning.
WARNING
DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE
HEATER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY
OR DEATH.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE WATER TO CLEAN HEATER.
10.4 The heat sink is anodized or painted black
to ensure that the maximum area code
temperature is not exceeded. After an
extended period of use or in extremely harsh
environments the anodization/paint may wear
away leaving bare surfaces. For continued
safe operation, these surfaces must be
repainted. When repainting use only black
high temperature resistant paint.
10.5 Except for thermostat replacement, eld repair
of the heater shall not be normally undertaken.
In the event that the heater must be repaired,
contact the factory for a return authorization
number.
