After applying power to the heater make sure that the system is being controlled properly before leaving it to run unattended. Failure to do this could result in overheating resulting in personnel danger and fire.
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
No power available to heater
Fuses blowing
Not enough power
Air not heating to desired temperature
High limit tripping / alarm
Cause / Correction
Check disconnect switch to ensure it is in the "ON" position and that fuses are not blown. Replace fuses if they are blown
Check heater electrical rating. Applied voltage may be wrong Check fuse rating. Fuses should be at least 25% more than full load amperage.
Disconnect heater power source. Check the heater resistance to ground. This should be no less than 1 Megohm. Refer to Megohm checking.
Check line voltage to ensure it is within specification
Check full line current if voltage is correct. If line current is lower, the heater may be wired wrong or has open elements
Not enough Kw or incorrect voltage being applied
Too much heat loss, higher wattage heater may be required
Not enough fluid flow
Too much Kw
Line voltage higher than designed / allowable
Preventative Maintenance
CAUTION: HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. TURN ALL POWER TO HEATER OFF, USE APPROPRIATE DISCONNECT LOCKOUTS AND ALLOW SYSTEM/HEATER TO COOL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE
Check line connections to make sure they are tight, free of oxide
Check enclosure (inside) for rust, dirt or dust. Remove rust if present, with steel wool (or equal) and thoroughly blow clean with dry,
If enclosure is moisture resistant, check condition of cover gasket. A replacement can be obtained from the factory.
Replacement Parts
Reference the duct heater part number on the nameplate when ordering replacement parts. Recommended spare parts would be : a Modular Duct Heater, replacement module, and high limit thermocouple or high limit thermocouple kit.
To replace individual heater module:
a)Disconnect power and then feeder wire
b)Remove terminal hardware connecting module to be replaced and other adjacent modules.
c)Remove the two Allen head screws and split washers holding module to main flange.
