INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

WARNING

Model: KBP2406 is 240 volt. It is important that you

verify the power supply voltage is the same as the

nameplate voltage of the heater. Improper installation

or failure to follow the procedures as outlined in this

manual can result in damage to the heater. Note that

the KBP2406 will operate at 208 volt but will produce

25% less wattage and draw 13% less Amps. Discon-

nect all power from the heater at the main service

panel before attempting to install or service this unit.

All electrical wiring must conform to local electrical

codes. Heater circuit must be properly protected.

Unpack & Inspect Your New Heater

Remove heater from box and inspect it for any damage. Verify

you have received the mounting bracket and accessories.

Tools Needed

You will need the following tools to install your unit heater:

-Screwdriver - (Phillips & Slotted)

-Wire Cutters

-Pliers

-Adjustable Wrench

-Electric Drill

Hardware Needed

You will need the following hardware:

-Adequate gauge & length of wire for your application

-Proper size fuses or breakers to handle amperage

-Proper wire connectors for your application

-Appropriate size fasteners to mount heater.

In certain applications conduit may be required by code.

Check local electrical codes. If you want to be able to turn the

heater be sure to use flexible conduit.

Mounting Height

When the air flow of the heater is directed vertically or

horizontally the minimum mounting height is 6 feet in USA

and 8 feet in Canada. Mounting heights depend upon building

utilization and heater kW capacity.

Distance From Walls

Maintain 6" minimum clearance to side walls and 2" to ceiling

in back of the heater (air intake side). Maintain 18" clearance in

front of the heater (discharge side).

Mounting Heater

Locate a stud in ceiling or wall and securely fasten bracket with a

minimum of two #12 fasteners 1-1/4" long. Attach heater to bracket

with 3/8" x 1" wingnut & lock washer supplied. Install the lock washer

between the bracket and heater. Do not put lock washer on the plastic

wingnut. After desired air discharge position has been determined

tighten wingnut so heater will not pivot.

Location of Heater

The heater should be installed out-of-reach of persons. The direction

of airflow should not be restricted by machinery, beams, etc. and

the airflow 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 airflow of the others to provide best circulation of warm air. (see

airflow chart)
