4 Section 4: Installation INSTALLATION This instruction covers the physical installation of the AHTR Series electric heat kits when installed with the RXT Series Geothermal Heat Pump Unit. The electric heat accessories are used for applications of heat pump with electric heat. Each of the air handler unit models are approved for use with specific electric heat accessories. The installation instructions list the possible combinations and other important electrical data and limitations. 1. Shut OFF electrical power at unit disconnect switch or service panel. 2. Remove the upper front panel from unit and locate filler plate. Remove the (4) sheet metal screws from plate. (See Figure 1) Figure 1: Heater Installation Heater Support Rod Fits into Hole Rotate Circuit Breakers 180 Degrees for RH and LH DN Airflow WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death. Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main electrical disconnect switch must be in the off position. There may be more than one disconnect switch. Lock out and tag switch with suitable warning label. CAUTION CUT HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury. Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. use care and wear protective clothing and gloves when handling parts. Representative drawing only, some models may vary in appearance. RIGHT HAND AIRFLOW AND LEFT HAND DOWNFLOW APPLICATION 3. If unit is going to be used for right hand return or left hand return downflow (airflow) the circuit breakers will have to be removed and rotated 180 degrees, so the OFF position will be DOWN when the cabinet is positioned on the right side. This is an NEC requirement. DO ONE BREAKER AT A TIME to make sure wires are reconnected properly. Loosen terminal screws on the wires. Gently pull wires back from breaker. Remove screws securing the breaker and rotate 180 degrees, then reconnect the wires to breaker. Proper torque for terminal screws is 35 inch pounds. 4. Insert the heater into the cabinet opening as shown in Figure 1, so the heater support rod goes into the hole in the back of the plenum. Exercise caution to prevent damage to heater element. 5. Secure the electric heat accessory with four screws. Roth 4 AHTR Series Elec Heat IOM, August 2010

5 Section 4: Installation LOW VOLTAGE WIRING 6. Connect the 6-Pin heater wiring harness to the receptacle located inside the cabinet (Top Cover). A perfect match and positive connection must be made between the plug and receptacle. The plug will interlock with receptacle when properly seated. Harness contains 24 Volts wiring. WIRING 7. Route unit power supply through knockout in top of unit and connect to line side of disconnect. Connect ground wire to ground lug. See wiring diagram label to make connections. All line voltage connections and ground connections MUST be made with copper wire. The power supply wiring MUST have overcurrent protection. This can be either fuses or circuit breakers. The maximum size for the overcurrent protection is shown in the column labeled Max. Fuse or NEC HACR Breaker (Amps) in the electrical Data Table or on the unit rating plate. Connect supply voltage wires to the Circuit Breakers on the heater or to the terminal block on the heater. NOTE: Supply voltage, amperage, fuse and disconnect switch sizes MUST conform with all technical specifications in this manual and on the unit rating plate. GROUNDING 8. Permanently ground the electric heat accessory in accordance with local codes and ordinances and in the United States with National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA or current edition. Use a copper conductor of the appropriate size from the electric heat accessory ground lug, to a grounding lug on the circuit breaker panel. On models with more than one circuit, a separate copper ground wire MUST be connected for each circuit. 8. Install top front door panel. 9. Mark an X in the appropriate box for the heater on the unit rating plate. WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted or unbroken ground to minimize personal injury if an electrical fault should occur. The ground may consist of electrical wire or metal conduit when installed with existing electrical codes. TIME DELAY MODULE 10. The time delay module stages the heater elements for 15kW and 20kW heaters. In most cases, all of the DIP switches should be in the ON position, which will provide a 1,023 second (approximately 17 minute) delay between the first and second stage of electric heat. For example, if all of the switches are in the ON position of a 20kW heater, only 10kW will be energized when the thermostat calls for backup or emergency heat. After approximately 17 minutes of continuous demand from the thermostat, the second bank of electric heat will be energized, providing the full 20kW of heat. The DIP switches may be set in any manner that is desired. There are 10 DIP switches that are cumulative. In other words, starting with the first switch, the time delay for each additional switch that is in the ON position is added to the previous switch. The switches are labeled 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512. When all of the switches are in the ON position, all of the numbers must be added to determine the time delay. In the case of all switches in the ON position, the delay is = 1,023 seconds. If only 8 to 9 minutes is desired between stages, place all AHTR Series Elec Heat IOM, August Roth

6 Section 4: Installation but the last switch (the switch labeled 512 ) in the ON position. With 9 switches in the ON position, the time delay is = 511 seconds (about 8.5 minutes). Other combinations of switches may be used, depending upon the desired time delay. AIR FLOW 11. Airflow requirements are different between models. Please refer to the unit Installation Instructions for airflow set-up information. TEMPERATURE RISE CHECK 12. Temperature rise is the difference between the supply and return air temperatures. NOTE: The temperature rise can be adjusted by changing the heating CFM. Refer to the unit s Installation Instructions for airflow information. NOTE: The maximum outlet air temperature for all models is 200 Degrees F (93.3 Degree C).
