C.2 Mounting
- The heater must be permanently mounted with the control box at the bottom.
- The mounting surface must be strong enough to:
- Support the heater’s weight.
- Provide sufficient stiffness to prevent excessive vibration.
- Withstand harsh situations such as transportable installations.
- The single bolt mounting is not designed in contemplation of high dynamic loads that can occur during transportation. For heaters that are to be installed prior to transportation it is recommended that temporary blocking or strapping be used to limit movement of the heater with respect to the mounting structure. Inspection of the mounting bolt for correct tensioning is also recommended after arrival at site to ensure no loosening has occurred in transportation.
- Install the heater at least 6 ft (1.8 m) from the floor.
- Install the bracket (see Figure 2 – 5 for installation instructions).
- Orient the heater to its final position before tightening all hardware.
- In higher vibration installations use of a removable thread locking compound such as Loctite® 243 Blue Threadlocker is recommended.
- Correct tensioning of the mounting bolt will include full compression of the split lock washer and inspection for correct thread engagement. The mounting bolt/nut should be torqued to 65 – 75 ft-lbs.
- Ensure that all safety pins are installed in the bolt(s) and clevis pin(s).
- Louvered discharge grille can be rotated in 45° increments. Heater only complies with U.S. Coast Guard regulations when the grille is installed such that the airflow is directed downward.
- For maximum tilt angles, see Figure 2. For maximum mounting height, see general specifications table on page 13.

Figure 6 – Wiring Schematics
OPERATION
D.1 General
- To operate heater, ensure power supply is properly connected as specified in the wiring schematic (see figure 6 on page 8).
- Ensure the thermostat controlling the heater is set above the ambient temperature.
- If the heater is provided with the optional door interlocking disconnect switch, ensure the switch is in the “ON” position.
- If the heater is provided with the optional 3-position fan switch, ensure the switch is in the “ON” position. Note: If the switch is in the “FAN ONLY” position, only the fan will energize, not the elements.
- If the heater is provided with the optional pilot light, the light will illuminate only when the elements are energized.
- The heater is provided with a fan delay relay. The fan will energize approximately 20 seconds after the elements are energized. The fan will remain
in operation for approximately 2 minutes after the thermostat de-energizes the elements. If the 3- position fan switch is turned to the “OFF” position, the fan will de-energize immediately. - During normal operation, the high-limit control should not cycle the heater ON and OFF. If cycling occurs, check to see if there is an airflow blockage. If there are no obstructions, the heater must be examined by qualified personnel to determine the cause of the high-limit cycling.
- The heater is moisture resistant and can be externally washed down with low pressure water. High pressure washing or direct internal pressure washing of the heater may result in damage or failure. (Refer to Important Notices Section).

WARRANTY
Heating and Indoor Air Quality Products
This Warranty (the “Warranty”) shall apply to Products (as defined below) sold by Modine Manufacturing Company, a Wisconsin corporation (“Seller”) to you (“Buyer”).
Seller hereby warrants that during the Applicable Warranty Period (as defined below) its Products shall be free from defects in material and factory workmanship under normal use and service, subject to the EXCLUSIONS described below and according to the terms outlined in this Warranty.
If Seller receives written notice of a breach of this Warranty prior to the end of the Applicable Warranty Period (which such notice shall include the model and serial numbers of the Product, as well as the date and a reasonably detailed description of the Product’s alleged failure), Buyer shall with Seller’s prior written approval, return the applicable Product or component thereof to Seller with shipping charges prepaid; if upon examination by Seller such Product or component thereof is disclosed to have been defective, then Seller will, without charge to Buyer, at Seller’s option, either repair the Product, replace defective parts in the Product, or offer an entire replacement unit of the Product; provided that the warranty period for a Product that has been repaired or provided with replacement parts shall not extend beyond the original Applicable Warranty Period, nor shall any replacement parts provided for a Product be under any warranty beyond the original Applicable Warranty Period for the Product; similarly, if Seller provides an entire replacement unit of the Product, the warranty period for the replacement unit is limited to the remainder of the original Applicable Warranty Period. Seller shall have no responsibility for installation, service, field labor, shipping, handling, or other costs or charges, except as expressly provided in this Warranty. Buyer shall have no remedy hereunder for any defective part returned without proper written authorization from Seller, as described above.
For purposes of this Warranty and subject to the exclusions described below, the term “Products” shall mean parts or equipment manufactured by Seller, sold to Buyer pursuant to a purchase contract between Buyer and Seller (most often initiated by a purchase order issued by Buyer and accepted by Seller), and expressly described in such contract. The term “Products” shall not include third-party parts or equipment furnished by Seller, except that, to the extent assignable, Seller will assign to Buyer the benefits (together with all limitations and exclusions) of the third-party manufacturer’s warranty for such parts or equipment.
This Warranty extends only to the original purchase contract between Buyer and Seller and is nontransferable, except that this Warranty may be assigned to an Authorized End User (as defined below). All replaced parts or equipment shall become Seller’s property. For purposes of this Warranty, the term “Applicable Warranty Period” shall mean the warranty period set forth in the table below for each type or class of Product described on the table; provided that, when the Product is to be used as a component part of equipment manufactured by Buyer, the Applicable Warranty Period shall be limited to one (1) year after the date of shipment from Seller, notwithstanding anything in the table below to the contrary.
For purposes of this Warranty, the term “Authorized End User” shall mean any third party that purchases the Product directly or indirectly from Buyer for the Authorized End User’s own use upon the first installation of the Product and not for resale.
BUYER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ITS REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, EXCLUSIVE OF ALL OTHER REMEDIES PROVIDED BY LAW, ARE LIMITED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS: This Warranty is subject to the following exclusions and limitations:
The term “Products” shall not include and this Warranty shall not apply to any of the following items: refrigerant gas, belts, filters, fuses and other items consumed or worn out by normal wear and tear.
In addition, this Warranty shall not apply to:
- Products or components thereof that are damaged or adversely affected by conditions beyond Seller’s control, including but not limited to polluted or contaminated or foreign matter contained in the air or water utilized for heat exchanger (condenser) cooling or if the failure of the part is caused by improper air or water supply, or improper or incorrect sizing of power supply;
- Any Products or components thereof which have been repaired or altered outside the factory of Seller in any way,
or otherwise subject to unauthorized repairs or alterations, so as, in the judgment of Seller, to affect the Product’s durability or performance; - Materials or labor of any kind not furnished by Seller, or any charges for any such labor or materials, whether such labor, materials or charges thereon are due to replacement of parts, adjustments, repairs, or any other work done by any party other than Seller;
- Labor or other costs incurred for diagnosing, repairing, removing, installing, shipping, servicing, or handling of either defective or replacement parts;
- Any Products removed from their original location for reinstallation in another location;
- Any Products or components thereof which have been operated, maintained, or serviced contrary to Seller’s written installation, operation, and/or servicing instructions or owner’s manual;
- Damages resulting from operation with an inadequate or interrupted supply of air or water;
- Any Products or components thereof which have been subjected to misuse, negligence, faulty installation, improper servicing, accident, excessive thermal shock, excessive humidity, physical damage, impact, abrasion, improper operation, or other operating conditions in excess of or contrary to those for which such equipment was designed;
- With respect to gas-fired or oil-fired units, any Products or components thereof if the input to the Product exceeds the rated input (as indicated on the Product’s serial plate) by more than five percent (5%);
- Any Products or components thereof which, in the judgment of Seller, have been installed in a corrosive atmosphere, marine, or coastal application, subjected to corrosive fluids or gases, or damaged or adversely affected by the effects of the physical or chemical properties of water or steam or other liquids or gases used in the Products or any component thereof;
- Damage or failure to start resulting from improper voltage conditions, blown fuses, open circuit breakers, or other inadequacy or interruption of electrical service or fuel supply; or
- Any Products or components thereof from which the serial number has been altered, defaced or removed.
BUYER AGREES THAT THE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES DESCRIBED HEREIN ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES PROVIDED BY SELLER WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW SHALL BE IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUSIVE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER ARISING FROM LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OF TRADE, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, EACH OF WHICH SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS. S
ELLER NEITHER ASSUMES (NOR HAS AUTHORIZED ANY PERSON TO ASSUME) ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCTS. REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY STATUTE, TRADE USAGE, OR OTHERWISE, ARE EXCLUDED AND WILL NOT APPLY TO THE PRODUCTS UNDER THIS WARRANTY, EXCEPT FOR WARRANTIES WHICH BY LAW CANNOT BE EXCLUDED
OR LIMITED. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller makes no and specifically disclaims all representations and/or warranties that the Products will detect the presence of, or eliminate, prevent, treat, or mitigate the spread, transmission, or outbreak of any pathogen, disease, virus, or other contagion, including but not limited to COVID 19.
BUYER AGREES THAT IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR COSTS OF PROCESSING, LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS, INJURY TO GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE PRODUCTS, OR FROM BUYER’S USE OF ANY PRODUCT, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY, NONCONFORMITY TO ORDERED SPECIFICATIONS, DELAY IN DELIVERY, OR ANY OTHER LOSS SUSTAINED BY THE BUYER.
