OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

THERMOSTAT

Heaters include a bimetal thermostat for the automatic control

of the exiting air temperature. The thermostat knob controls the heating

elements and fan functions. The heater and fan are

de-energized with the knob in the extreme clockwise position.

Turning the knob clockwise from the off position to the fan

position will energize the fan only, for use in summer cooling.

The adjustment knob controls power to the heater and fan

when turned further in the clockwise direction, with the highest tempera-

ture setting in the extreme clockwise position.

The temperature setting in the heater mode is approximately

40°F in the low setting and 100°F at the highest setting.

Note: The adjustment knob should be turned to the fan only

setting after use for heating. The fan should be left on for at least 3 min-

utes to remove residual heat from the unit and to prevent overheating of

the housing.

Cord Preparation for Portable Heaters

1. Determine the gage and number of conductors fromChart A using

amps and phase from the heater nameplate. It is not recommended

that cord exceed 50 feet in length.

2. Strip off outer jacket of cord and insulation from lead wires. The tabu-

lation below provides the strip dimensions for the

various Chromalox portable heaters. See the nameplate on the heater

for the Model number.

3. Slide fitting onto cord and tighten knurled nut to secure fitting

to cord.

4. Select plug to match electrical rating of cord.

5. On opposite end of cord prepare end as directed by

instructions that are provided with the plug.

6. Attach cord assembly to heater as shown in Fig. 2 below:
