SECTION 3: INSTALLATION

3.4Electrical Installation Requirements

DANGER

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical before servicing.

This appliance must be connected to a properly grounded electrical source.

Replace cover before operating.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electrical shock.

3.4.1The enclosure must be supplied from a local fused isolator rated for a total amperage not exceeding 25 A.

The method for calculating the current loading is as follows:

CORAYVAC® Burner

0.3 A/burner

Multiply the current for the individual burners above by the number of burners supplied from the enclosure to give the total current required.

The full load amps for the optional outside air blower

(P/N 90707500) are:

1.6 A

The total added current load for each individual relay must not exceed 3 A.

The total added current load for all 8 relays must not exceed 25 A.

3.5 Pump Requirements

The pump is powered directly from the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). The VFD will be energized via an output from the relay board switched through a designated relay.

The 0-10 V signal from the ULTRAVAC™ controller enclosure wired into VFD input relays 5 and 2 (see Page 16, Figure 11 through Page 18, Figure 12) will dictate the speed of the pump. The VFD output sup- ply to the pump is 230 V 3 Ø 0-60 Hz for 115 V and 230 V models and is 460 V, 3 Ø, 0-60 Hz for 460 V models. The frequency of the output supply signal to the pump will be varied based on the 0-10 V signal from the control

enclosure. See Page 11, Section 3.2 for additional installation requirements.

3.6 Variable Frequency Drive Requirements

The VFD must be powered separately from the con- trol enclosure. The 230 V drive power supply must be 230 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 Ø. The 120V drive power supply must be 120 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 Ø. The 460 drive power supply must be 460 V, 50-60 Hz, 3 Ø. See Page 9, Section 2.3 for additional details. The VFD on/off switching is done by an output on the relay board.

The operational characteristics of the Roberts Gordon NEMA 4 are also noteworthy. The units are designed to be user-friendly, featuring intuitive controls that allow for easy temperature adjustments and monitoring. Furthermore, they come equipped with automatic safety features, including over-temperature protection and fail-safe shutdown mechanisms, which enhance operational safety.

Another advantage of the Roberts Gordon NEMA 4 is its versatility. It can be configured for various applications, including ceiling-mounted installations or wall-mounted setups, depending on the specific heating needs of a facility. This adaptability allows for efficient space utilization in warehouses and production areas.

The energy efficiency of the Roberts Gordon NEMA 4 translates into cost savings for businesses. By providing targeted heating where it is needed most, the units help reduce overall energy expenditures. Additionally, the longevity of the unit minimizes the frequency of replacements, contributing to long-term value.

In summary, the Roberts Gordon NEMA 4 is a highly effective industrial heating solution characterized by its robust design, advanced infrared technology, versatility, and energy efficiency. It is well-suited for challenging environments and has been embraced by industries that demand reliable and efficient heating solutions.
