Table 127: Minimum Airow by Heater Capacity.
Do not operate with less than the minimum airow. If an airow is
used below the minimum, there is a risk of damage to the product.
Airflow rates in the table above are listed in CFM. Flow rate (CFM) is decreased by 3% per 0.1 in wg from 0.8 in wg to 1.0 in wg.

Table 128: Electric Heater Static Pressure Drop Factors.
in wg = inch water gauge
If the electric heater has been installed, then the ESP value has to be set.
For every increase in static pressure by 0.01 in wg, the ESP value must be increased by 1.
If the ESP setting value is inappropriate, the provided safety device will turn the heater off according to
the airflow.

Do not operate with less than the minimum airow. If an airow is
used below the minimum, there is a risk of re, which may lead to
physical injury or death.
