HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE: Risk of electric shock. Can

cause injury or death.
• DO NOT remove electrical panel cover while system

is energized.

• Elements MUST be positioned properly to avoid

short circuiting them against any surfaces within

system.

• Use care when making connections to avoid ele-

ment damage.

1. Insert heating elements between brick layers until

element ends embed into side cutouts of brick cavity.

Elements MUST be installed with threaded screw tabs on

wire connection terminals pointing forward and down.

2. Install front air channel with air deflectors (arrow shaped

pieces) facing inward and narrow ends of deflectors

pointing up. Place top of air channel in first.

3. Lower insulation blankets back into position, one at a

time. Tuck sides into edges, corners and around exposed

portions of heating elements.

4. Install galvanized panel. Slide the top inside the upper lip

of top painted panel. Bottom rests on the outside of the

brick cavity.

5. Connect wiring harnesses to heating elements using

screws in element screw kit. Install screws with heads up

and threads pointing down. Tighten screws to 14 in lbs.

6. Check non-insulated element connections to make sure

they do not come within 1/2" of any surface.

BRICK CORE TEMPERATURE

SENSOR(S) INSTALLATION

AIR CONDITIONER/HEAT PUMP

INTERFACE

Risk of improper operation. Proper installation of

the brick core temperature sensor(s) is critical to

the operation of the Comfort Plus heating system.

Read and follow installation instructions carefully.
1. Remove screw(s) by temperature sensor hole(s) in

galvanized front panel.

2. Insert temperature sensor(s) through hole(s). Sensor(s)

must pass through blanket insulation and into brick

core.

3. Install screw(s) into galvanized front panel to hold

sensor(s) and provide electrical ground connection.

4. Inspect sensor wiring for possible short circuiting

hazards.

5. Install painted front panel.
NOTE: Models 4130 and 4140 have an upper and a lower

temperature sensor. The upper core sensor MUST be

installed in the upper core for proper operation.

When interfacing a heat pump with the Comfort Plus, the A-

coil MUST be placed in the return air plenum.

Risk of fire. Any one ducting system MUST NOT

contain more than one air handling (blower)

system.

The Comfort Plus system can accommodate most heat

pump or air conditioner indoor coils provided the heat

pump or air conditioner is sized in accordance to supply air

delivery rates of the Comfort Plus.

• 1/2 HP variable speed accommodates most 1.5 to 4

ton heating/cooling systems

• 1 HP variable speed accommodates most 3 to 5 ton

heating/cooling systems
