INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To prevent a possible fire, injury to persons or damage to the heater, adhere to the following:

1. Disconnect all power coming to heater at main service panel before wiring or servicing.
   Important Note: This heater must be installed by a qualified person.

2. All wiring procedures and connections must be in accor- dance with the National and Local Codes having jurisdiction and the heater must be grounded.

3. Verify the power supply voltage coming to heater matches the ratings as shown on the heater nameplate.
   CAUTION : ENERGIZING HEATER AT A VOLTAGE GREATER THAN THE VOLTAGE PRINTED ON THE NAMEPLATE WILL DAMAGE THE HEATER AND VOID THE WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE.

4. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

5. The ceiling or wall mounting structure and the anchoring provisions must be of sufficient strength to support the combined weight of the heater and mounting bracket.

6. All built-in thermostats: If the heater is used to prevent pip- ing or liquids from freezing, and if the thermostat is set below 45° F (7°C), the fan must run continuously.

7. The heater must be mounted at least 7’ (2134 mm) above the floor to avoid accidental contact with the fan blade which could cause injury.

8. Keep at least 5’ clearance in front of the heater. Refer to Table 1 for side, top and back clearance requirements.

9. Do not mount mercury type thermostat directly on unit.Vibration could cause heater to malfunction.

Heater Location Instructions
Arrange units so that discharge air streams:

a. are subjected to a minimum of interference from columns, machinery and partitions;
b. wipe exposed walls without blowing directly at them;
c. are directed away from room occupants in comfort heating;
d. are directed along the windward side when installed in a building exposed to a prevailing wind.
Locate thermostats approximately 5′ (1524mm) above the floor on interior partition walls or post away from cold drafts, internal heat sources and away from heater discharge air streams. Small rooms can be heated by one unit heater.
Large rooms require multi-unit installations. Number and capacity of units will be determined by volume of building and square feet of floor area to be heated. Arrange units to provide perimeter air circulation where each unit supports the air stream from another.
Mounting the Heater – General
The heater may be mounted to discharge the heated air either horizontally or vertically. When the heater is mounted for vertical discharge, it is recommended that the heater be positioned so that the access door will open away from the wall to provide greater access to the wiring and control compartment. If the heater is to be mounted with the access door facing a wall, the heater must be mounted far enough from that wall to allow full opening of the access door (a distance approximately equal to the width of the heater, check clearance before installing). Refer to Table 1 for wall and ceiling clearances before mounting heater.
The heater may be mounted for either vertical or horizontal discharge by the use of threaded rods. (Refer to Table 2 for threaded rod sizes required.) Observe the detailed procedures in the following installation instructions.
The heater may also be suspended from the wall or ceiling by means of an optional mounting bracket (type MMB or MCMB) which permits horizontal pivoting of the heater. After the heater is installed, the louvers may be positioned to direct the heated air in the desired direction. When the heater is installed for horizontal discharge, the louvers should direct the air either straight ahead or downward. Directing the air upward may cause the heated air to remain in the ceiling area and waste energy.

2. Install four threaded mounting rods in the threaded holes and and secure in place using lock nuts.
3. Securely attach the four mounting rods to the ceiling. (Refer to Table 1 for wall and ceiling clearances, and Table 3 for mounting rod spacing dimensions.)

Wiring Branch Circuit (Power)

1. Connect heater only to the voltage, amperage and frequency specified on the nameplate.

2. Field wiring must be properly sized to carry the amperage IN accordance with the NEC.

3. The access door is hinged. There are either one or two screws accessible from the side that must be loosened to gain access.
   These screws are the captive type; do not try to remove them.

4. A knockout is provided in the back of the heater close to the power terminal block and the control terminal board. The control terminal board knockout is 1/2 inch (12.7
   mm) conduit size.
   The power terminal block knockout is multiple diameter.
   Use the diameter that fits  the required conduit size.

5. A ground terminal is provided near the power terminal board.
   The ground wire should be connected before other connections are made.

6. The power terminal block is equipped with box terminals sized to accept the correct size power supply wire. Branch circuit wire rated min 600V, 60° C is acceptable for heaters rated up to 80 amps. For heaters rated more than 80 amps, branch circuit wire must be rated at least 75°C. Either aluminum or copper wire is satisfactory for connection to the heater power terminal block box terminal. Copper wire is recommended and must be used with built-in disconnect switch.

7. Each heater has a wiring diagram affixed to the inside of the access door. Consult this diagram before making any field connections.
   Important Note – Installation Screw Lug Torque:
   During transportation it is possible screw lug connections can loosen. After installation, before power is turned on to the heater, check all screw lug connections for tightness to a recommended minimum torque as specified on the label affixed to the unit.
   Loose connections may present a hazard.

8. Single or three-phase power connections may be used with heater models MUH0521, MUH0581, MUH072, MUH078, MUH102, MUH108, and MUH158. These units are factory wired for single-phase operation. If these heaters are for use with three-phased power, reconnect the wires as indicated in the wiring diagram attached to the heater.
   Additional information can be found by looking  at the wiring illustrations in Figures 3a and  3b and following the directions shown below.
   On models MUH0521,MUH0581, MUH072, MUH078, MUH102, and MUH108 (Figure 3a), move only the two wires marked “A1” and marked “B1”; do not move or change any other wiring. The element lead wire marked “B1” which is factory connected to the power terminal block (terminal located closest to the elements) must be moved to terminal “B” on the three-phase terminal block. Figure 3a. Wiring Connections for Single-Phase and Three -Phase Power (MUH0521, MUH0581, MUH072, MUH078, MUH102 and MUH108) Figure 3b. Wiring Connections for Single-Phase and Three -Phase Power (MUH158)
   The relay (contactor) lead wire “A1” must be moved from the end terminal of the power terminal block (terminal closest to the contactor or control terminal board) to the “A” terminal of the lower terminal block (center terminal). Model MUH158 (Figure 3b) has two three-phase terminal blocks located adjacent to the relays (contactors). Move only the two wires marked “C1” and “D1” on each of these two three-phase terminal blocks to terminal “B”. Do not move or change any other wires.

9. Electrical Accessories, either kits or factory-installed options, are shown connected by a dash line on the heater wiring diagram.

10. 208/240 VOLT HEATER: The heaters are wired for 240V from factory. When heater is to be connected to 208V supply, the transformer leads MUST BE interchanged. For units rated 30/40kW or higher, interchange ORANGE and RED primary leads. The black colored lead is the COMMON for the transformer (50VA) provided with the high wattage units. For lower kW rated heaters, interchange BLACK and RED primary leads. The WHITE colored lead is the COMMON for the control transformer provided with these heaters. Always refer to the wiring diagram on the cover of the heater before making this reconnection of transformer primary leads.

CAUTION: To prevent a possible fire or damage to heater, if a two stage thermostat is provided, it MUST be wired so Stage 1 turns the rear heating element (where fan control is located) on first and off last. Stage 2 MUST turn on elements other than the rear element as the need for additional heat is required and will turn on last and off first.
