CON
NECTORS, CABLE AND HARDWARE USED TO WIRE THE HEATER: Figure 2
LOCATING THE HEATER: Figure 3
The heater should be installed out of traffic areas and at least 6' off the floor. (8” above floor in Canada)
The direction of air flow should not be restricted (ie: by columns or machinery) and the air flow should
wipe exposed walls, rather than blowing directly at them. When more than one heater is used in an area,
the heaters should be arranged so that the air discharge of each heater supports the air flow of the others
to provide best circulation of warm air, as indicated in the Figure below.
