Multiple Unit - low Voltage Connections Direct Wired Controls

Figure 8

Notes: 1. Connecting the low voltage hot (blue) wire

from multiple heaters to a single control

switch may cause damage to the system. In

multiple heater applications, connect the

wires as shown for proper operation.

2. In this configuration, one outdoor sensor is

needed for each heater installed.

If using the low voltage control option, the heater is direct wired to

the power company's peak control switch. Field connections from the

switch are made to the heater’s low voltage wiring harness through

the low voltage raceway. These wires are also accessible from inside

the electrical compartment. Class II (low voltage) wiring should never

enter a line voltage area of the heater, including its umbilical cord.
Some power companies also use anticipated (pre-peak) signals. If applicable to your installation, the control switch

providing the pre-peak signal can also be connected directly to the heater with low voltage wire. Refer to the Low

Voltage Connections Direct Wired Controls Diagram (Figure 7) for reference to peak and anticipated peak low

voltage connections.

If routing low voltage wire near line

voltage conductors, shielded wiring

must be used.
