Qmark CPH - Decorative and Commercial Pedestal Heaters - Manual (Page 3)

Rough-in Wiring
1. Branch circuits for the heaters shall be enclosed in 1” rigid
conduit for 05A heaters, or 1-1/4” rigid conduit for 07A
heaters.
2. Run branch circuit of proper voltage and wire size, in rigid
conduit, to location of left or right junction box as indicated
on heater wiring diagram. Wire entry to heater is through
either end pedestal.
Note When pedestal is not used for wire entry, pedestal base
must be covered with cover plate (supplied with pedestal). See
Figure 2.
3. When installing heaters on existing floors, the threaded end
of the rigid conduit must extend 7/8” to 1” above finished
concrete. Conduit must be threaded a minimum of 3/8”.
4. Basic heaters are prewired and can be connected to branch
circuit at either end. Heaters with controls are prewired for
connection to branch circuit at one end only (refer to heater
wiring diagram), however, heater can be wired from opposite
end by running wires through heater wireway.
5. If it is necessary to run wires through the heater wire way,
use Table B to size the field installed wiring.
6. The factory installed wires in the heater wireway can be
loaded up to 35 amps in 05A units and up to 45 amps in 07A
units. Refer to Table C and D for maximum length of heater
run when the heaters are connected in parallel.
Thermostat 24 amps @ 120-240 VAC
22 amps @ 277 VAC
Pilot duty– 125 VAC (all voltages)
Transformer relay
05A units: 22 amps @ 120-240 VAC
19 amps @ 277 VAC
07A Units: 25 AMPS @ 120-240 VAC
22 AMPS @ 277 VAC
Power relay 25 amps @ 120-277 VAC- see wiring dia-
gram on heater
Disconnect switch 20 amps @ 120-277 VAC
7. Standard 75˚C wiring must be used in junction boxes, wire-
way and blank sections.
Room Layout
Refer to heating plans for exact room arrangements of heaters
(with or without thermostat and/or relays and/or switches and
accessories.)
Mounting Height
Refer to Figure 1a. for typical mounting of heaters and pedestals
imbedded in floor; refer to Figure 1b. for surface-mounted
heaters and pedestals.
Note: Up to 3/4” thick floor covering, such as carpet, tiles,
linoleum, etc., may be installed around and under the heater.
