HEATFLO KUH-C-15-23 (01) PDF Document

The following table details the electrical data and standard contactor ratings for the HEATFLO KUH-C-15-23 and other models in the series:

*208V amperage is 86% of 240V value.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power before installing disconnect switch. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage. Disconnect switch must be installed by a qualified person and must be effectively grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

1. The amperage rating of the disconnect must be equal to or greater than the amperage rating on Table A and as marked on the nameplate located on the bottom access door.

2. The power disconnect kit is to be installed in the rectangular knockout located in the bottom right corner on the back of the heater. The knockout can be removed using a hammer and chisel or other appropriate means. For easier access to terminal screws to wire pigtail leads supplied on the heater, it is suggested that these connections be made before installing.

3. The disconnect switch assembly consists of a mounting bracket, disconnect switch, mounting plate cover and self tapping screws.

The HEATFLO KUH-C-15-23 typically utilizes the 50 Amp Kit (KDS-1). The installation instructions are as follows:

1. The Disconnect switch, with its mounting bracket should be inserted into the heater cabinet by opening the bottom service door and positioned behind the opening created in Step 2.

2. The disconnect switch, with its mounting plate should be inserted into the heater cabinet by opening the bottom service door and positioned behind the opening created in the preparation step.

3. Insert the four self tapping screws into the four holes in the rear panel. They should engage the holes in the mounting plate and then be tightened until they are secure.

4. Mount the switch faceplate to the switch using the two provided screws. Mount with the “OFF” position to “0” to the left and the on position “1” to the top. Slide the handle over the shaft and tighten the screw to secure.

For the KDS-1 kit (used with the HEATFLO KUH-C-15-23), this switch disconnects the power to power leads when the handle is rotated to the “0” position (left). The power is on when the switch handle is rotated to the “1” position (top) position.

For larger kits (KDS-2 and KDS-3), the switch disconnects power to the power leads when the handle is placed in its full lower position. The power is on when the switch handle is in its full upper position.

1. Use the three pigtail leads supplied with kit (40 & 80 Amp) when connecting to the power line. Use No. 4GA Copper conductor wire only for 100 Amp disconnect when wiring to the power line.

2. The power disconnect wiring to the heater is to be made using the pigtail leads supplied on the heaters up to and including 25 kW. On larger heaters, the installer should supply 105˚C type AWM 600V wire.

Note: This switch disconnects the power to power leads when the handle is rotated to the “0” position (left). The power is on when the switch handle is rotated to the “1” position (top) position.

1. The illustration in the manual shows wiring hook up for three phase service. Remove lead wires marked L2 and AL2 when using one phase power service.

2. For units without contactors, disconnect switch is to be wired to lead wires on heater power.

3. Use copper supply wire only with this switch.

For future replacement parts, the model number should be modified on the nameplate to show that a disconnect kit has been field installed on the heater. A label kit (P/N 170-302788-002) has been included in the plastic envelope located in the disconnect kit.

Cut off the appropriate number for the size disconnect being installed (40 Amp = 1; 80 Amp = 2; 100 Amp = 3). The label has a pressure sensitive adhesive back so that the number can be placed over the “0” at the end of the Catalog Number on the nameplate.
