All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

FORMULA:

 

(tons of cooling) x (400 CFM per ton) (144 square inches per foot)

= filter area sq.inches

(max. air velocity of filter from table 3 for the filter type)

= length x width of

 

filter in inches

EXAMPLE: If you had a CHX3-100 furnace and 4 tons of cooling and a standard permanent filter.

4 tons x 400 CFM x 144 = 460 square inches for cooling 500

For heating a CHX3-100 needs 394 square inches of filter. The filter system must be designed for the larger CFM requirement determined for cooling of 460 square inches. A filter would have to be sized so that the area (length X width) was at least 460 sq. in.

L. WIRING

All wiring shall be performed by a qualified electrician or service person. The wiring must comply with local codes, the instructions in this manual, and in the absence of codes with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA-70 or latest edition).

1. The following items are guidelines to complete the wiring portion of the installations.

a.A separate power supply circuit with over current protection and a disconnect switch must be provided. The minimum fuse or circuit breaker size is 20 amp.

b.All CHX3 and CDX3 Series furnaces are supplied with a fuse disconnect switch box to be mounted on the outside surface of the right or left side casing so a fuse disconnect can be mounted on the furnace. Make the 115 volt supply connection in this junction box. A green screw and a strain relief are provided in order to connect the power supply ground wire and provide strain relief for the 115 volt power leads from the furnace in the fuse disconnect box. A disconnect switch can be field mounted on the 2x4 box provided. If not, the disconnect switch must be located reasonably close to and within sight of the furnace.

NOTICE: The hot surface igniter and operation of this furnace depends on correct polarity. The hot leg of the supply circuit must be connected to the black line lead and the common leg to the white line lead in the field mounted junction box. The hot leg must pass through the disconnect switch in all cases to prevent the hazard of electrical shock when servicing.

IMPORTANT: The furnace must be grounded in accordance with local codes and with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 or latest edition) when an external electrical source is utilized.

2. ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER (EAC) AND HUMIDIFIER INSTALLATION

The ignition module on this furnace has designated terminals to control the operation of an electronic air cleaner and/or humidifier. These terminals provide line voltage (110-20VAC) for the control of these accessories. (See Figure 21). NOTICE: It is important to confirm that the operating voltage of the humidifier or EAC being installed matches the output of this control. If not, a field supplied relay or transformer may be necessary to provide the proper control and supply voltage for the accessory being installed. See the manufacturers instructions for the humidifier or EAC for additional instructions.

However, an aneroid pressure gauge, in good working condition, capable of reading pressure changes of 0.05 in. W.G., or less, that was recently calibrated within the last year, is a satisfactory alternate. These two 2 devices will be considered as equivalent and interchangeable.
