Introduction
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Safety advisories appear throughout this manual as required.Your personal safety and the proper
operation of this machine depend upon the strict observance of these precautions.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTIONsIndicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury. It could also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTICE Indicates a situation that could result in equipment or property-damage only
accidents.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury. All field wiring MUST be
performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE
and ELECTROCUTION hazards.To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field
wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/state electrical codes.
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to electrical, mechanical and chemical
hazards.
• Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST put on all PPE required for the work
being undertaken (Examples; cut resistant gloves/sleeves, butyl gloves, safety glasses, hard
hat/bump cap, fall protection, electrical PPE and arc flash clothing). ALWAYS refer to
appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA
guidelines for proper PPE.
• When working with or around hazardous chemicals,ALWAYS refer to the appropriate MSDS/
SDS and OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of
Chemicals) guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper
respiratory protection and handling instructions.
• If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE
in accordance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific requirements for arc flash
protection, PRIOR to servicing the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY SWITCHING,
DISCONNECTING, OR VOLTAGE TESTING WITHOUT PROPER ELECTRICAL PPE AND ARC

Important Precautions
Important Precautions
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using this heater.
• Keep cords and all other combustible material, such as furniture, papers, clothes and curtains
away from the heater. For safe and efficient operation, keep an open space around heater of
three feet in front and 12 inches at ends and rear.
• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and
whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
• Do not operate any heater after it malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return heater to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment, or repair.
• Do not use outdoors.
• To disconnect the heater, turn controls to off, and turn off power to heater circuit at main
disconnect panel (or operate internal disconnect switch if provided).
• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may
cause an electric shock.
• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
• Be aware that the heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside.
• WARNING: Do not use it in area where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
• Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• This heater may include an audible or visual alarm to warn that parts of the heater are getting
excessively hot.
• If the alarm sounds (or illuminates), immediately turn the heater off and inspect for any objects
on or adjacent to the heater that may have blocked the airflow or otherwise caused high
temperatures to occur.
• DO NOT OPERATETHE HEATER WITHTHE ALARM SOUNDING (OR ILLUMINATING).
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
• Switch Lockout

Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
Locating the Heater
Heater is designed to be mounted on the wall near the ceiling or floor, with airflow directed
downward. Minimum mounting height for the heater is 8" (203.2mm) above a finished floor (see
Figure 1).
1. Use 3320EX33 for surface mounting.
2. Observe the proper clearances:
Figure 1. Architectural Wall Heater Clearance
WARNING
Fire Hazard!
Failure to follow instructions below could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Avoid Heater Malfunction!
Do not allow curtains, furniture, or other objects to obstruct the front grille of the heater since
proper heater operation requires a free flow of intake and exhaust air.

2. Turn off electrical power to heater circuit.
Mounting Instructions
You can either flush-mount or surface-mount the heater by performing the following steps:
1. Disassemble heater by removing seven screws shown as "C" in Figure 2 and 3.
2. Complete one of the following sequences according to Figure 2 or
To Flush-Mount Heater:
1. Place wall box "A" between studs at desired height
2. Secure to studs through holes "M" in box.
The flanges on the wall box must rest on the surface of the finished wall. Be sure to allow for
wall thickness.
Figure 2. Flush-Mounting Heater Into Wall
WARNING

lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to
disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.

UHAA-IOM-1E 9
Installation Instructions
To Surface-Mount Heater:
1. Secure wall box "A" to wall at desired height through holes "X" in box.
2. Place surface adapter "E" over wall box.
3. Bring electrical service in through bottom knockout "K" for surface mounting only.
Figure 3. Surface-Mounting Heater on a Wall
Wiring Instructions
Typical UHAA unit wiring diagrams are provided in figures 4 through 7. Heater electrical data is
provided inTable 1. All wiring must comply with NEC, CEC, and local codes.
WARNING

lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to
disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE:
Use Copper Conductors Only!
Unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of conductors. Failure to use copper
conductors could result in equipment damage.

10 UHAA-IOM-1E
Wiring Schematics
1. Bring service leads in through knockouts "K" (Figures 2 and 3) on top or bottom of wall box for
flush-mounting the heater. Bring service leads in through bottom knockouts "K" only for
surface-mounting the heater. When bringing wiring in from the bottom, install wires through
cover "G" by removing screw "H".
2. Connect service leads to two black leads on 208V/240V models; connect to black and white leads
on 120V/277V models. Connect ground lead to green wire with approved connectors.
3. Attach wiring compartment cover "D" to heater assembly with screw "C". Refer to Figure 2 and 3.

Operation and Maintenance
This section explains startup, operating, and maintenance procedures.
Pre-Start Procedures
Complete the following steps before startup:
1. Clean all construction dirt and debris from inside heater.
2. Attach front grille "F" with four screws "L". See Figures 2 and 3.
3. Position frame "P" over spring clips "Y" and snap in place. Secure with screw "Q".
Operating Instructions
1. Turn power on at circuit breaker.
2. Insert small-bladed screwdriver through grille opening into slot in thermostat adjusting stem.
3. Turn stem fully clockwise.
Heating element will energize and after short delay, the fan should start, causing warm-air
discharge from bottom of grille.
4. When desired temperature is reached, turn thermostat stem counterclockwise until it de-
energizes with an audible "click".
This heater employs a visual alarm (light) to warn that parts of the heater are getting excessively
hot. If the alarm illuminates, immediately disconnect power from heater and inspect for any objects
on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. Do not operate the heater with the
alarm (light) illuminated.

UHAA-IOM-1E 13
Operation and Maintenance
Maintenance Instructions
1. Once a year, disconnect electrical power at power source.
2. Remove front grille from heater and clean dust from heater and grille.
3. Lubricate the motor with SAE No. 10 oil. Oil fittings are provided on front and back of motor.
4. Reassemble heater and restore electrical power to it.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
