Convection Air Heater for Hazardous Locations
NOTICE: Carefully remove heater from carton and check for
shipping damage. Any damage claims should be entered
immediately with the carrier.
GENERAL
Type CVEP Convection Heaters are designed for use in Class
I, Div I hazardous environments. Units without control options
are suitable for areas classified as Groups B, C & D. Units with
built-in controls can be supplied for groups C and D or B, C and
D. Refer to classification stamped on heater nameplate.
have the same explosion-proof rating as heater.
5. Do not install one unit above the other.
6. Units are mounted a minimum of 8” above the floor.
7. Heaters are mounted on wall in a horizontal position with termi-
nal end at right. Never recess heater into wall.
8. NOTE: Article 500 of the National Electric Code (NEC) out-
lines requirements for installation of electrical equipment in haz-
ardous (Classified) locations.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD. To prevent ignition of haz-
ardous atmospheres, this heater should not be installed in
areas where vapors or gases having an ignition tempera-
ture less than 280˚C (536˚F)(T2A) at 1.8kW, 3.6kW, 4.5kW,
7.6kW, 9.0kW or 180˚C (356˚F)(T3A) at 1.6kW, 3.2kW,
4.0kW are present.
9. All unit electrical installation fittings, conduit, wiring and seals
must meet NEC and local codes for hazardous locations. External
line fusing or circuit breaker protection is required.
10. Failure to understand and follow these installation instructions
and the “WARNING” notes contained therein may result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
These heaters must not be operated in ambient tempera-
tures exceeding 40˚C (104˚F).
1. Connect air heaters to the same line voltage as on heater nameplate.
2. Heaters can be mounted individually end to end.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Any installation
involving electric heaters must be performed by a
qualified person and must be effectively grounded
in accordance with the National Electrical Code to
eliminate shock hazard.
3. Heaters can be mounted directly on any type of surface masonry,
concrete, block, plastered walls, metal framework, etc.-using
appropriate hardware.
4. All controls such as thermostat and contactor, when required must
INSTALLATION
5. Drill a pilot hole in wall mounting surface at each mounting hole
location. Use a convenient small size drill.
6. Drill the mounting holes in accordance with size in Table 1. Insert
anchors where applicable.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power
before installing or servicing heater. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or property damage.
Heater must be installed by a qualified person in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
7. Fasten rear panel to wall with screws noted in Table 1.
8. Replace front panel and screws.
1. Remove front panel by removing screws.
2. Locate desired heater position on wall.
3. Locate mounting holes for rear panel. Rear panel must be a mini-
mum of 8” from the floor.
FIRE HAZARD. Never operate heater with front panel
off. Adequate air flow across heating elements
requires the front panel to be in place. The heating
elements could overheat causing equipment damage
or personal injury.
4. Refer to Figure 1A, 1B or 1C for mounting hole layout for each
cabinet size.

WIRING
4. Remove cover of conduit box for connections. Use either opening
and plug the other with the plug provided.
5. In single phase units the heaters must be wired in parallel, com-
bining L1 to L1, L2 to L2 and for 3 phase unit, L3 to L3.
6. Re-assemble cover with a minimum of 7 turns.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Any installation
involving electric heaters must be performed by a
qualified person and must be effectively grounded
in accordance with the National Electrical Code to
eliminate shock hazard.
1. All wiring should be done in accordance with local codes and
the National Electrical Code by a qualified person as defined in
the NEC.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD.(Group B atmospheres)
To prevent ignition of Group B atmospheres, conduit
runs must not exceed 3/4” in size and all conduit
runs 1/2” size and larger must have a sealing fitting
connected within 2”, 6” or 18” of the terminal enclo-
sure depending on the exact model. For correct
placement, refer to data located on the enclosure
label.
CAUTION: Use copper conductors only.
2. Rough-in-line-wiring to unit in manner approved for hazardous
locations. (See warning below.)
3. Wire per diagrams 1 through 6 based on the rating and control
options listed in table 2. Refer to table 3 for amperage specifications.

OPERATION
property damage, back-up controls are essential.
1. Do not operate heater at voltages in excess of that stamped on
the heater since excess voltage will shorten heater life and
cause high element temperatures which may exceed allowable
temperatures of operation in a hazardous atmosphere.
The system designer is responsible for the safety
of this equipment and should install adequate
back-up controls and safety devices with their
electric heating equipment. Where the conse-
quences of failure could result in personal injury or

MAINTENANCE
1. Before activating for next heating season, vacuum or use com-
pressed air to remove accumulated dust or lint, which otherwise
may restrict proper air flow.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power
before installing or servicing heater. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or property dam-
age. Heater must be installed by a qualified per-
son in accordance with the National Electrical
Code, NFPA 70.
2. Periodically check all electrical connections and retighten to avoid
electrical wiring difficulties.
3. Check to ensure terminal cover is tightly closed, before energiz-
ing.
