DESCRIPTION
This Electro-Mate series is the supplementary electric element for air source heat pump, add-on or A-coil
type. The placement of the electric elements and mechanical design of this Electro-Mate is compatible
with zero clearance at the heat pump and/or A/C A-coil top.
These models are approved and listed for downflow and horizontal applications. At no time can this
model be installed in an upflow application. Electro Industries has a similar unit specially designed for
upflow applications. The Electro-Mate must be installed on the “warm side” of the HP A-coil.
Caution, Heat Pump Application: Depending upon mechanical positioning and airflow, in all cases
(heat pump) the electric element, Electro-Mate, unit must be on the supply or warm side of the HP
refrigerant coil.
Generally, a base adapter or raised plenum is required for installation of this DOWNFLOW Electro-Mate.
The instructions on page 2 for the field design and fabrication of this base adapter must be followed in
detail.
The controller installation manual, HI320, has additional comments on horizontal installation.
This Electro-Mate unit contains several patented mechanical airflow, and electrical control features.
Since these patented features cause this unit to be unique compared to other electric heating products, this
installation manual must be studied and followed in detail.
Attached is the product limited warranty statement. Please read and understand conditions associated
with proper installation, unauthorized changes, and POWER ON procedures.
For information, this unit is rated at 240VAC. When operating at lower source voltage, the output is
reduced.
Example: 10 kW rating
220VAC source - 8.8 kW
208VAC source - 7.5 kW
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
1. All installation work must be performed by trained, qualified contractors or technicians. Electro
Industries, Inc., sponsors installation and service schools to assist the installer. Visit our web site at
electromn.com for upcoming service schools.
2. All electrical wiring must be in accordance with National Electric Code and local electric codes,
ordinances, and regulations.
3. Observe electric polarity and wiring colors. Failure to observe could cause electric shock and/or
damage to the equipment.
4. This unit can only be used for its intended design as described in this manual. Any internal wiring
changes, modifications to the circuit board, modifications or bypass of any controls, or installation
practices not according to the details of this manual will void the product warranty, the ARL
certification label, and manufacturer product liability. Electro Industries, Inc., cannot be held
responsible for field modifications, incorrect installations, and conditions which may bypass or
compromise the built-in safety features and controls.
5. The only approved installation for this Electro-Mate series is downflow and horizontal furnace and
above
or downstream from the air conditioning or heat pump A-coil. Any other configuration or
furnace plenum/ducting installation voids warranty and manufacturers product liability.
