4. Installing the Electric Heat Kit

4.1 Read the safety precautions section of the Multi-Position Air Handler

before installing the electric heat option.

Remove the entire enclosure from the packaging and inspect for any possible damages. The following images in the

installation section do not represent all electric heat options. Depending on the model, the number of circuit breakers might

vary as well as the size of the enclosure. Always check the model number on the package and enclosure before

continuing. Before continuing with the installation, be sure all power to the equipment that is being worked on is

disconnected. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.

4.2 Setting proper external static pressure.

NOTE

Best design practice to assure adequate airflow requirements.

During electric heater operation the fan is defaulted to high speed to help assure adequate airflow

. To maintain adequate

airflow required for electric heater operation, it is recommended that an additional 0.20 in. WG static pressure drop be

added to system ductwork design when using the electric heat kit.

Examples:

When air handler is set for 0.50 in. WG static, the maximum external static pressure for ductwork should not exceed 0.30

in. WG.

When air handler is set for 0.80 in. WG static, the maximum external static pressure for ductwork should not exceed 0.60

in. WG, etc.
