Installation, Weatherhoods, Exhaust Dampers

INSTALLATION (continued)

WEATHERHOODS

Supply weatherhood will be factory mounted. The exhaust weatherhood is shipped separately as a kit with its own instructions.

EXHAUST DAMPERS

Backdraft dampers for exhaust discharge are mounted in the unit. Motorized dampers are shipped loose (inside ERH) and must be field installed.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The electrical supply must be compatible with that shown on the nameplate: voltage, phase, and amperage capacity. The electrical supply line must be properly fused and conform to local and national electrical codes.

All internal electrical components are pre-wired at the factory. Field electrical connections only need to be made inside the unit to the main disconnect (See FIGURE 5, Item #1) and the 24 volt control circuit (See FIGURE 5, Item #7). A door interlocking safety disconnect is provided as standard feature.

Note: Standard factory installed electric post heaters have their own disconnect separate from the unit disconnect. Thus, electric post heaters require a separate power connection.

IMPORTANT: Use minimum 14 ga. wire for 24 volt control power.

Control wire resistance should not exceed 0.75 ohms (approximately 285 feet total length for 14 ga. wire; 455 feet total length for 12 ga. wire). If wire resistance exceeds 0.75 ohms, an industrial-style, plug-in relay should be added to the unit control center and wired in place of the remote switch (between terminal blocks 2 and 3 on the control strip — See FIGURE 5, Item #7). The relay must be rated for at least 5 amps and have a 24 Vac coil. Failure to comply with these guidelines may cause motor starters to “chatter” or not pull in which can cause contactor failures and/or motor failures.
