Figure 4.1 - Model HER & PTE Controls and Features
DESIGN FEATURES - MODELS HER, PTE, & VE
➀   Casing - The casing is cleaned and phosphatized prior to 
electrostatic application of a baked-on, gray-green polyester 
powdercoat paint.
➁ Adjustable Air Deflector Blades (HER & PTE units only) - 
Adjustable up and down, blades provide control over the 
horizontal air delivery of the unit heater.
➂ Control Compartment - Safely encloses power and 
control terminal blocks, contactor(s), fuses and transformer. 
Terminal blocks provide easy access for field wiring. On 
model HER horizontal units, a hinged bottom panel swings 
down for full access to the control compartment.
➃ Safety Fan Guard - Formed from heavy gauge steel rod 
stock, the fan guard is attached to the unit heater casing 
and provides a rigid support for the motor and protection 
from the exposed fan.
➄ Motor/Fan - The totally enclosed, thermally protected, 
continuous-duty motor is mounted to the fan guard utilizing 
rubber vibration absorbing material. The lightweight 
aluminum propeller type fan is connected directly to the 
motor shaft and is statically balanced for peak performance 
and low sound level.
➅ Motor Heat Shield (VE units only) - Protects the motor 
from heated air passing through the unit heater.
➆ Protective Screen (VE & PTE units only) - The aluminum 
screen protects heating elements from accidental damage 
and further enhances the appearance of the unit heater.
➇ Heating Element - Nickel-chromium wire elements are 
enclosed in powder-filled aluminum coated steel tubes to 
which spiraled fins are permanently fused for maximum 
heat transfer. Elements are resistant to thermal shock and 
vibration.
➈ Automatic Reset Overheat Control - In the event of 
overheating, this control interrupts the power supply to 
the heating elements. The control automatically resets 
itself once the heater cools to a safe temperature. Control 
includes a switch located in terminal box with a capillary 
tube around bottom heating element.
