Installation Instructions

ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL

As a professional installer, you have an obligation to know the product better than the customer. This includes all safety precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself with this Instruction Manual. Pay special attention to all safety warnings. Often during installation or repair, it is possible to place yourself in a position which is more hazardous than when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product safely and to know it well enough to be able to instruct a customer in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense…a matter of thinking before acting. Most dealers have a list of specific good safety practices…follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended as supplemental to existing practices. However, if there is a direct conflict between existing practices and the content of this manual, the precautions listed here take precedence.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.

Shipping Inspection

All units are securely packed in shipping containers tested according to ISTA specifications. The carton must be checked upon arrival for external damage. If damage is found, a request for inspection by carrier’s agent must be made in writing immediately.
Inspect the kit carefully on arrival for damage and screws or wires which may have come loose in transit. In the event of damage the consignee should:

  1. Make a notation on delivery receipt of any visible damage to shipment or container.
  2. Notify carrier promptly and request an inspection.
  3. With concealed damage, carrier must be notified as soon as possible – preferably within five days.
  4. File the claim with the following support documents within a nine month statute of limitations.
  • Original or certified copy of the Bill of Lading, or indemnity bond.
  • Original paid freight bill or indemnity in lieu thereof.
  • Original or certified copy of the invoice, showing trade and other discounts or reductions.
  • Copy of the inspection report issued by carrier’s representative at the time damage is reported to carrier.

The carrier is responsible for making prompt inspection of damage and for a thorough investigation of each claim.
The distributor or manufacturer will not accept claims from dealers for transportation damage.

Standard Air handler Installation

WARNING
HKS ELECTRIC HEATER KITS MAY ONLY BE INSTALLED IN ARUFXX14YY, ARPTXX14YY, ASUFXX14YY, ASPTXX14YY, AVPTXX14YY, DVXXPTC14YY MODELS (WHERE XX IS THE TWO- DIGIT SIZE AND YY ARE REVISION LETTERS).
WARNING
ONLY INSTALL HEATER KITS INTO AN AIR HANDLER THAT ARE LISTED AS APPROVED ON THE RATING PLATE OF THE AIR HANDLER.
WARNING
TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH WHEN INSTALLING IN A GARAGE, THE ELEMENT MUST BE AT LEAST 18” ABOVE THE FLOOR.
CAUTION
TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO FIRE, USE ONLY COPPER CONDUCTORS.

  1. Remove the upper access panel from the air handler.

  2. Remove and retain the four (4) screws securing the cover plate. Remove and discard the cover plate.

  3. For electric heat kits with circuit breakers, remove the two screws securing the circuit breaker mounting plate to the electric heat face plate.
    NOTE: The circuit breakers for the 25kW are placed separately in the carton and are not attached to the heater plate.

  4. Slide the electric heat kit into the opening in the air handler, making sure the direction of airflow decal attached to the electric heat face plate is pointing in the correct direction, and secure the electric heat face plate using the screws removed in Step 2. Use
    caution to not bend or damage the electric heating elements, the limit switches or fuses during this process. See Figure 1.

  5. For downflow applications with electric heat kits that have circuit breakers, the circuit breakers must be rotated 180 degrees (such that the ON position will be with the circuit breaker handles up). To do so, remove and retain the 2 screws securing the circuit breaker clamps, rotate the circuit breakers and clamps 180 degrees, then use the same 2 screws to re-secure the circuit breakers. See Figure 2.HKS IO-776F Electric Heat Kit - Fig 2

  6. For all electric heat kits with circuit breakers, mount the circuit breaker mounting bracket as shown in Figure 3, using the supplied screws. Insert the four (4) screws as shown in Figure 3 (two through the control panel flange and two into the cabinet corner
    post).

Electrical Connections

WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE !
DISCONNECT ALL POWER BEFORE SERVICING.
MULTIPLE POWER SOURCES MAY BE PRESENT. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

  1. All electric heat kits have lugs for connection of high voltage power supply. Insert the power leads into the lugs (either on the terminal block or circuit breaker) and tighten. The power must be routed through a strain relief as they enter the cabinet. For
    two power supply electric heat kits (all circuit breaker connections), be sure to connect the correct power supply to the correct circuit breaker – check the air handler rating plate for Minimum Circuit Ampacity and Maximum Overcurrent Protection electrical ratings of each circuit.

  2. Connect the ground wire from the power supply to the ground lug provided in the air handler. For two power supply electric heat kits, one ground lug is provided with the air handler and the second ground lug is supplied with the electric heat kit (on the circuit breaker mounting plate). Use proper torque to secure the ground wire to the ground lug.

  3. For low voltage connections, remove the female multipin connector with the jumper wire provided with the air handler from the male multi-pin connecter provided with the air handler.
    Insert the female multi-pin connector provided with the electric heat kit into the male multi-pin connector provided with the air handler.
    NOTE: it can be inserted in one position only.

  4. FOR ALL THREE PHASE APPLICATIONS: Wire  the terminal block leads to the transformer as per the wiring diagram on the heat kit. Insert single and three phase power leads into the lugs provided on the terminal block and the circuit breaker  respectively, and tighten.

  5. FOR 25KW AND THREE PHASE HEAT KIT APPLICATIONS: Install the wiring diagram provided with the heat kit in a prominently visible location on the exterior of the unit.
    For heat kits 10kW or smaller place “Disconnect Only” sticker on front panel below the breaker.
