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.
Replacement Parts
Reference the module heater part number on the flange when ordering replacement parts.
Recommended spare parts would be : a heater module, and high limit thermocouple or high limit
thermocouple kit.
To replace heater module:
a)
Disconnect power and then feeder wire
b)
Remove terminal hardware connecting module to be replaced and other adjacent modules.
c)
Remove the two Allen head screws and split washers holding module to ductwork.
d)
Pull module through duct as shown below.
e)
Reinstall new module through duct wall and retighten using Allen head screws and split washers.
f)
Reinstall jumpers and feed wire
g)
Check circuit resistance to ensure that modules have been properly wired
