HOW TO USE:

1. Mounting: Securely mount the heater to a fixed location, either on a wall or ceiling, using the supplied ceiling mounting bracket. Ensure all mounting hardware is properly torqued. Observe minimum clearance requirements, including at least 72 inches of discharge distance.
2. Electrical Connection: Connect the heater to the appropriate 600V electrical supply (either 1-phase or 3-phase, as configured) according to local electrical codes and the provided wiring diagram in the owner’s manual. Ensure the fused control circuit is correctly wired.
3. Thermostat Setting: Adjust the integrated thermostat to your desired temperature within the range of 40-100°F (5-40°C). The heater will activate automatically when the ambient temperature falls below the set point.
4. Airflow Adjustment: Direct the heated air by adjusting the individual air flow louvers. This allows for optimal heat distribution across the space being heated.
5. Operation Mode: Utilize the “Fan Only” switch if you wish to circulate air without activating the heating elements, useful for ventilation or cooling in warmer conditions.
6. Safety Reset: In case of an overheat condition, the manual reset high limit will trip. Allow the unit to cool, then manually reset the high limit before resuming operation. Refer to the owner’s manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
