SECTION B: GENERAL ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

For 120V installations use two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire (3 wires total) for the incoming power

supply on replace inserts. Use the appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for rated power consumption.

For 208V / 240V installations use three conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire (4 wires total) for the incom-

ing power supply on replace inserts. Use the appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for rated power

consumption.

Two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire (3 wires total) is recommended for installation of a wall mounted

thermostat and/or wall switch for use on replace inserts. Use appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes for

rated power consumption. All wire gauges should match the recommended wire sizes shown below.

Voltage Wire Gauge Fuse Rating

120 Volts 12 Gauge 15 Amp

208 Volts 12 Gauge 15 Amp

240 Volts 12 Gauge 15 Amp

RECOMMENDED POWER SUPPLY WIRE SPECIFICATIONS

!IMPORTANT: Ensure that the incoming power supply voltage matches the setting of the voltage selector switch.

!NOTE: The voltage selector switch is located inside the exhaust panel on the top right hand corner.

CAUTION: When changing the voltage selector switch from 240V to 120V ensure that the power supply is turned off.

!NOTE: Carefully insert a at headed screwdriver inside the exhaust panel to change the switch from 240V (230 position)

to 120V (115 position).

When wiring the unit for 208V / 240V the voltage selector switch should be in the 230V position.

When wiring the unit for 120V the voltage selector switch should be in the 115V position.
