Electrical Requirements
!WARNING
NOTICE
Incorrect or improper wiring may result in shock, injury or death. Field wiring to the heater must be connected and grounded in accordance with national, state, provincial, local codes and to the guidelines in this
manual. Refer to the most current revisions to the ANSI/ NFPA 70 Standard.
Radiant heat may damage the flexible power cord. Always keep the flexible power cord away from the heater. Do not allow the power cord to be subjected to radiant heat.
Control systems are initiated by 120V control voltage. Important! Proper grounding and polarity are essential. If the system is not properly grounded, it cannot determine the presence of a flame and will lockout and shut off.
Figure 2.9 - 120V Typical Field Wiring
For wiring of controls see Figure 2.9 below. It is recommended that the control be installed on the hot side of a fused supply line and have a sufficient ampere capacity rating for the heater(s) it will control (see Figures 3.1 & 3.2).
