OPERATION
C.1 General
1.
To operate heater, ensure power supply is properly
connected as specified in the wiring schematic (refer to
Figure 2 to Figure 7, page 6 to 9).
2.
If the heater is setup to operate on a thermostat, ensure
the temperature set point is set high enough to turn on
the heater.
3.
The fan motor will not start immediately.
4.
After a delay of 20-50 seconds, the fan contactor will
operate and the fan will start. See paragraph B3.3 for

During normal operation, the thermal cut-out control
should not cycle the heater ON and OFF. If cycling occurs,
check to see if there is an airflow blockage. If there are no
obstructions, the heater must be examined by qualified
personnel to determine the cause of the thermal cut-out
cycling.
