Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

Cause / Correction

No power available to heater

Check disconnect switch to ensure it is in the "ON" position

and that fuses are not blown. Replace fuses if they are blown

Fuses blowing

Check heater electrical rating. Applied voltage may be wrong

Check fuse rating. Fuses should be at least 25% more than full

load

amperage.

Disconnect heater power source. Check the heater resistance

to ground. This should be no less than 1 Megohm. Refer to

Megohm

checking.

Not enough power

Check line voltage to ensure it is within specification

Check full line current if voltage is correct. If line current is lower,

the heater may be wired wrong or has open elements

Air not heating to desired

Not enough Kw or incorrect voltage being applied

temperature

Too much heat loss, higher wattage heater may be required

High limit tripping / alarm

Not enough fluid flow

Too much Kw

Line voltage higher than designed / allowable

Preventative Maintenance

CAUTION: HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. TURN ALL POWER TO HEATER OFF, USE

APPROPRIATE DISCONNECT LOCKOUTS AND ALLOW SYSTEM/HEATER TO COOL BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE

Check line connections to make sure they are tight, free of oxide build-up, and that no dust or dirt build-up is
present. Re tighten to 20 in-lbs as necessary.
