MULTI-UNIT SYSTEM
Multiple 540 (T-H3) models can be combined for a Multi-Unit System, along with the multi-unit
controller (Part 9008300005 (TM-MC02)). The multi-unit controller can control from 2 units to 20
units for commercial or residential applications. For a 20-unit system, the computer can modulate
between the usages of 13,000 BTU/h (Propane) or 15,000 BTU/h (Natural gas) to 4.0 Million BTU/h.
An individual cut-off switch is recommended for each unit in a Multi-Unit System for the purpose
of maintenance.
