Single Point Boxes and Supplementary Fuses — When

the unit MOCP device value exceeds 60--A, unit--mounted

supplementary fuses are required for each heater circuit.

These fuses are included in accessory Single Point Boxes,

with power distribution and fuse blocks. The single point

box will be installed directly under the unit control box,

just to the left of the partition separating the indoor

section (with electric heaters) from the outdoor section.

The Single Point Box has a hinged access cover. See Fig

30.

Fig. 30 -- Typical Single Point Installation

On 50TC units, all fuses are 60--A. Single point boxes

containing fuses for 208/230--V applications use UL Class

RK5 250--V fuses (Bussman FRNR 60 or Shawmut TR

60R). Single point boxes for 460--V and 575--V

applications use UL Class T 600--V fuses (Bussman JJS

60 or Shawmut A6T 60). (Note that all heaters are

qualified for use with a 60--A fuse, regardless of actual

heater ampacity, so only 60--A fuses are necessary.)
Unit heater applications not requiring supplemental fuses

do not require a Single Point Box. Connect power supply

conductors to heater conductors and field--supplied base

unit power tap leads (see text below re: “Completing

Heater Installation”) below the unit’s main control box

using UL--approved connectors.
Safety Devices — Electric heater applications use a

combination of line--break/auto--reset limit switches and a

pilot--circuit/manual reset limit switch to protect the unit

against over--temperature situations.
Line--break/auto--reset limit switches are mounted on the

base plate of each heater module. See Fig. 31. These are

accessed through the indoor access panel. Remove the

switch by removing two screws into the base plate and

extracting the existing switch.
Pilot--circuit/manual reset limit switch is located in the

side plate of the indoor (supply) fan housing. See Fig. 28.

Completing Heater Installation

Field Power Connections — Field--supplied tap

conductors must be installed between the base unit’s field

power connection lugs and the splice connection between

field power supply conductors and the conductors to the

electric heater(s). Refer to unit wiring schematic. Use

copper wire only. Size these conductors based on the

MCA (Minimum Circuit Ampacity) value marked on the

50TC unit’s info plate for the base unit less electric heater

load.

Use

UL--approved

pressure

connectors

(field--supplied) for these splice joints.

Low--Voltage Control Connections — Pull the

low--voltage control leads from the heater module(s) --

VIO and BRN (two of each if two modules are installed;

identify for Module #1) -- to the 4--pole terminal board

TB4 located on the heater bulkhead to the left of Heater

#1. Connect the VIO lead from Heater #1 to terminal

TB4--1. Connect the VIO lead from Heater #2 to terminal

TB4--2. Connect both BRN leads to terminal TB4--3. See
