5.Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after five minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.

6.After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous condition of use.

7.If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the common venting system must be corrected. The common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined by using the appropriate tables in Appendix G in the current standards of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223-1 in the U.S.A. and the appropriate Category I Natural Gas and Propane appliances venting sizing tables in the current standards of the CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code in Canada.

NOTE Local codes may supersede any of the above provisions.

ignition control board emits radio noise during burner ignition. The level of energy may be enough to disturb a logic circuit in a microprocessor controlled thermostat. It is recommended that an isolation relay be used when connecting the unit heater to a microprocessor controlled thermostat. Select circuit protection and wire size according to the unit rating plate. Install a separate disconnect switch (protected by either fuse or circuit breaker) near the unit so that power can be turned off for servicing. Remove electrical junction box cover and connect wiring through knockout on the junction box located on the side of the heater. Refer to heater wiring diagram for connection information. Use 18 gauge wire or larger for line power connections. Make sure to connect line power to wires located in the external electrical junction box behind junction box cover. DO NOT CONNECT LINE POWER TO

THERMOSTAT TERMINAL STRIP ON OUTSIDE OF HEATER.

Electrically ground the unit in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the current National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) in the USA, and in Canada with the current Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 CSA C22.1

NOTE: Un-insulated ground wire must be warped in electrical tape to avoid damage to the electrical system.

Make line voltage connections as shown in figure 7. Connect field wiring as shown on wiring diagram on unit. Also, refer to typical diagram in this manual.

An additional thermostat wire must be run to terminal g on heater when continuous blower is desired. Thermostat (optional). See wiring schematic on pager E-13.
