Site Preparation

1. Provide clearance around installation site to safely rig and

lift equipment into its final position. Supports must

adequately support equipment. Refer to manufacturer’s

estimated weights.

2. Consider general service and installation space when

locating unit.

3. Locate unit close to the space it will serve to reduce long,

twisted duct runs.

4. Do not allow air intake to face prevailing winds. Support

unit above ground or at roof level high enough to prevent

precipitation from being drawn into its inlet. The inlet must

also be located at least 10 feet away from any exhaust

vents. The heater inlet shall be located in accordance with the applicable building code

provisions for ventilation air. All air to the heater must be ducted from the outdoors. Recirculation

of room air is not permitted. If in doubt regarding the application, consult the manufacturer.

Assembly

Intakes and curbs are shipped unassembled. Upon unit arrival, follow the following procedure to

assemble the intake to the heater:

1. Apply silicone or weather-proof gasket on

the back side of the flanges of the intake

hood or v-bank intake.

2. Screw the flanges of the intake hood or v-

bank to the unit with the supplied sheet

metal screws. Place caulk on the outside of

the screws to prevent water leaks. If the

unit is a modular unit with a v-bank or

evaporative cooler section, the v-bank or

evaporative cooler will bolt to the heater with the bolts provided.

Curb and Ductwork

This fan was specified for a specific CFM and static pressure. The ductwork attached to this unit will

significantly affect the airflow performance. Flexible ductwork and square elbows should not be used.

Also, transitions and turns in ductwork near the fan outlet will cause system effect and will drastically

increase the static pressure and reduce airflow. The chart below shows the minimum fan outlet duct

sizes and straight lengths recommended for optimal fan performance. Follow SMACNA guides and

recommendations for the remaining duct run. Fans designed for rooftop installation should be

installed on a prefabricated or factory built roof curb. Follow curb manufacturer’s instructions for proper

curb installation. The unit should be installed on a curb and/or rail elevated not less than 20” above any

CLEARANCES

The top, back, and front

surfaces of this heater may not

be installed less than 6” from

combustible materials. The

heater base may be installed

on combustible surfaces.

Allow 24” minimum service

clearance on both sides of this

heater.

surface. Be sure duct connection and fan outlet are

properly aligned and sealed. Secure fan to curb

through vertical portion of the ventilator base

assembly flange using a minimum of eight (8) lug

screws, anchor bolts, or other suitable fasteners (not

furnished). Shims may be required depending upon

curb installation and roofing material. Check all

fasteners for tightness. The diagrams below show

different mechanical installation configurations.

Adequate building relief shall be provided so as to

not over pressurize the building when the heating system is operating at its rated capacity. This can be

accomplished by taking into account, through standard engineering methods, the structure’s designed

infiltration rate; by providing properly sized relief openings; or by interlocking a powered exhaust system;

or by a combination of these methods.

Heaters installed with intake ductwork must be purged to replace at least four air changes of the volume

of the intake duct.

If the failure or malfunction of this heater creates a hazard to other fuel burning equipment in the building

(e.g. when the heater is providing make up air to a boiler room), the unit is to be interlocked to open inlet

air dampers or other such devices.

Units being installed in airplane hangars should be installed in accordance with the Standard for Aircraft

Hangars, ANSI/NFPA 409. Units being installed in public garages should be installed in accordance

Gas

Installation of gas piping must conform with local building codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) – latest edition. In Canada, installation must be in

accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 for natural gas units and CAN/CGA-B149.2 for propane units.

WARNING: INLET GAS PRESSURE MUST NOT EXCEED PRESSURE INDICATED

ON NAMEPLATE. SEE UNIT NAMEPLATE FOR PROPER GAS SUPPLY

PRESSURE AND GAS TYPE.

1. Always disconnect power before working on or near a heater. Lock and tag the disconnect

switch or breaker to prevent accidental power up.

2. Piping to the unit should conform with local and national requirements for type and volume of gas

handled, and pressure drop allowed in the line. Refer to the Gas Engineer’s Handbook for gas

line capacities.

3. The incoming pipe near the heater should be sized to

match the connection on the outside of the unit. Unit inlet

sizes are shown in the table to the right. Avoid multiple

taps in the gas supply so the unit has a steady supply of

gas at all times.

4. Install a ground joint union with brass seat and a manual

shut-off valve external to the unit casing, as shown below,

adjacent to the unit for emergency shut-off and easy

servicing of controls.

5. Provide a sediment trap, as shown below, before each

unit and where low spots in the pipe line cannot be avoided.

6. Blow out the gas line to remove debris before making connections. Purge line to remove air

before attempting to start unit. Purging of air from gas lines should be performed as described in

ANSI Z223.1-latest edition “National Fuel Gas Code”, or in Canada in CAN/CGA-B149.

7. All field gas piping must be pressure/leak tested prior to unit operation. Use a non-corrosive

bubble forming solution or equivalent

for leak testing. The heater and its

individual shut-off valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply

piping system during any pressure

testing of that system at test

pressures in excess of ½ psi. The

heater must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its

individual manual shutoff valve

during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less

than ½ psi.

8. This unit requires a constant 7 in. w.c. minimum

natural gas supply, when the unit is operating at

maximum gas flow. If the gas supply exceeds 14 in.

w.c. (5 psi. for sizes 4-5 housings) it will damage the

internal valve components, and if it is below 7 in.

w.c., the heater may not perform to specifications.

Electrical

Before connecting power to the heater, read and understand this

entire section of this document. As-built wiring diagrams are

furnished with each fan by the factory, and are attached to the

door of the unit.

Electrical wiring and connections should be done in accordance

with local ordnances and the National Electric Code,

ANSI/NFPA70. Be sure the voltage and phase of the power

supply and the wire amperage capacity is in accordance with the

motor nameplate. For additional safety information refer to AMCA publication 410-96, Recommended

Safety Practices for Users and Installers of Industrial and Commercial Fans.

1. Always disconnect power before working on or near a

heater. Lock and tag the disconnect switch or breaker to

prevent accidental power up.

2. An electrical drop containing the motor power wiring is

shipped with every fan. The electrical drop should be

brought through one of the conduit openings located in

the base of the unit, run through the curb, and connected

to a junction box inside the building.

3. A dedicated branch circuit should supply the motor circuit

with short circuit protection according to the National

Electric Code. This dedicated branch should be run to the junction box mentioned above and

connected as shown in a following

illustration labeled “Fan to Building

Wiring Connection”.

4. Make certain that the power source

is compatible with the

requirements of your equipment.

The heater nameplate identifies

the proper phase and voltage of

the motor.

5. Units shipped with an optional

remote panel have two electrical

circuit drops. It is important to run

the motor wires in a separate conduit from the remote control wiring. The DC wires from the unit

temperature controller, located in the control drop, should either be shielded cable or be run in a

separate conduit.

6. Before connecting heater to the building power source, verify power line wiring is de-energized.

7. Secure the power cables to prevent contact with sharp objects.

8. Do not kink power cable and never allow the cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot

surfaces or chemicals.

9. Before powering up the heater, check fan wheel for free rotation and make sure that the interior of

the heater is free of loose debris or shipping materials.

10. If any of the original wire supplied with the heater must be replaced, it must be replaced with type

THHN wire or equivalent.

WARNING!!

Disconnect power before

installing or servicing fan. High

voltage electrical input is

needed for this equipment. This

work should be performed by a

qualified electrician.

PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) Motor Speed Control

Some single phase direct drive fans contain speed controls that regulate the amount

of voltage going to the motor. Specific PSC motors must be used in conjunction with

speed controls. The speed control has a knob with an off position, and high to low

range. At high speed, the speed control allows all of the line voltage to pass right to

the motor.

A minimum speed adjustment is provided to allow independent control of the

minimum speed setting. Minimum speed adjustment ensures motor runs with

sufficient torque to prevent stalling. To adjust this:

1) Motor must be in actual operating conditions to achieve proper speed

adjustment. Motor will not slow down unless proper load is applied.

2) Turn main control knob to lowest speed position.

3) Locate and adjust minimum speed setting and adjust with small screw driver. This can be found

under the speed control faceplate. (rotate clockwise to decrease minimum speed; counter-

clockwise to increase minimum speed).

4) Motor will now operate from this preset minimum speed to full speed.

The lowest minimum voltage that may be applied to these motors is 65VAC. Running lower

voltages to the motor can cause premature failure and overheating problems.

ECM (Electronically Controlled Motor) Speed Control

ECM motors and control allows accurate manual adjustment of fan speed.

The benefit of ECM motors is exceptional efficiency, performance, and

motor life.

The control used with ECM motors features a 4 digit LED numerical

display. The blue knob on the control allows the user to set the flow index

with a screwdriver. Twenty seconds later, the display shows the motor

RPM. Then, the display periodically alternates between the flow index and

motor RPM. The flow index has a range of 0 to 100% and is typically linear with motor RPM.

The ECM control requires a 24 VAC input and can locally turn the motor on and off. The motor can be

adjusted between 300 RPM and maximum speed with this control.

NOTE: To adjust the speed of 3 phase direct drive motors, a variable frequency

drive is required.

Motorized Intake Damper

On units shipped with the optional motorized intake damper, a power transformer is supplied with the unit

if the main incoming voltage is greater than 120V. The damper motor is automatically energized when

the main disconnect switch is in the ON position. No external wiring to the damper motor is required.
