GENERAL

WARNING: This heater is not intended for use in

hazardous atmospheres where flammable vapors,

gases, liquids or other combustible atmospheres are

present as defined in the National Electrical Code.

Failure to comply can result in explosion or fire.

1. Heat Construction Characteristics:

A. Finstrip®elements of either rust resisting iron or chrome

steel sheath, and aluminized steel fins.

B. 14 gage cold rolled steel frame painted with a black pow-

der coat paint.

C. Internal electrical connections consist of buss bars and

jumper straps of either Mn-Ni or Monel.

D. Field wiring terminals of heavy duty 3/8” diameter bolts of

either brass (iron sheath units) or stainless steel (chrome

steel sheath units) with hardware are provided for field

wiring connections.

2. Maximum temperatures — Type CAB and CABB air duct

heaters can generally be used at the following maximum tem-

peratures provided the minimum air velocity is maintained

uniformly through the heater. Table 2 is based on the standard

unit of 26 watts per square inch. If unit watt density is lower,

higher temperatures can be achieved. If higher watt densities

are used, outlet air temperature should be lowered.

3. Several heaters may be mounted in tandem as long as proper

controls are used to limit the maximum temperature attained. See

pressure drop curve G112S1 for effect of mounting in tandem.

4. Overtemperature protection — A thermal cutout should be

installed at the exhaust side of the heater for protection against

low airflow conditions.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: Hazard of Electric Shock. Disconnect

all power before installing heater.

1. Install heater into desired location in air duct with terminals

on bottom.

2. For installation where the duct heater is larger than the duct-

work, the duct area must be increased by a sheet metal transi-

tion. The slope of the transition piece on the upstream side is

limited to 30˚ as indicated in Figure 2. On the leaving side, the

slope should not be more than 45˚.

3. Make sure ductwork is of sufficient strength to contain the

heater. Refer to Table 1 for heater weights. Consult your local

sheet metal contractor if in doubt.

4. Two holes 5/16-18 tapped are located on each side of the

heater for mounting.

5. Air velocity must be sufficient enough to prevent element fail-

ure. See Table 2 for guidelines.

6. For protection against accidental air stoppage, mount a ther-

mal cutout on the exhaust side of the heater.

7. Insert thermal cutout sensitive bulb through duct and attach to

heater case with mounting clips provided.

8. DANGER: Hazard of Fire. Since these heaters are capa-

ble of developing high temperatures, extreme care should be

taken to:

a. Avoid installing heaters in an atmosphere containing com-

bustible gases and vapors.

b. Avoid contact between heater and combustible material.

c. Keep combustible material far enough away to be free of

the effects of high temperatures.

WIRING

WARNING: Hazard of Electric Shock. Any installation

involving electric heaters must be effectively ground-

ed in accordance with the National Electrical Code to

eliminate shock hazard.

1. All wiring should be done in accordance with the National

Electrical Code and with local codes by a qualified person.

2. Connect air heaters to same line voltage, phase and frequency

as on heater nameplate.

3. Teflon insulated nickel plated copper wire or buss bar is rec-

ommended for power connections to heater terminals and for

wiring runs in heated zones. When ambient temperature in

heated zone exceeds that for which insulated wire is recom-

mended use bare nickel-plated copper with porcelain beads,

tubing or buss bar. Consult local Chromalox representative.

4. Users should install adequate back-up controls and safety

devices with their electric heating equipment. Selection of

controls, thermostat, SCR units, contactors and etc. depends

on the degree of accuracy required, reliability, electrical rating

of heater and economic considerations.

5. Below is an example of standard CAB 122 480V 3P 12 kW

wired with recommended back-up controls (Figure 3).

OPERATION

WARNING: Users should install adequate back-up

controls and safety devices with their electric

heating equipment. Where the consequences of

failure may be severe, back-up controls are essen-

tial. Although the safety of the installation is the

responsibility of the user, Chromalox will be glad

to assist in making equipment recommendations.

1. Do not operate heaters at voltages in excess of that stamped

on the heater since excess voltage will shorten heater life.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Hazard of Severe Shock. Disconnect all

power to heater before servicing or replacing heaters.

1. Periodically clean terminals and terminal covers of dust and

corrosion to maintain good electrical connections and to per-

mit rapid heat dissipation. Use airblast, and be careful to avoid

damage to mica insulation.

2. Check for loose terminal connections.
