Wiring Diagram for FWD Type (Direct Connection To Element)

Wiring Diagram for FWD Type (Direct Connection To Element). This sample Wiring Drawing is for the EXHEAT FWD model of heater – for all other heater wiring drawings refer to the O&M download opposite.

Please download EXHEAT FWD hazardous area air warmers O&M manual for full details on installation and maintenance procedures – this includes wiring diagrams, earth connection and pre installation inspection and checks.

Heater Power Rating 500W to 2kW
Enclosure Mild steel powder coated orange / grey (stainless steel option available to special order)
Controls FWD heaters are controllable by EXHEAT remote mounted thermostats for use in hazardous areas
Mounting Pre-drilled support feet supplied as standard; heaters should be mounted horizontally with unrestricted air flow around the unit
Voltage 1 phase: 110 to 120V and 230 to 254V
3 phase: 380, 440, 480 and 690V, subject to design parameters
Voltage tolerance: +0/-10%

Prior to installing the EXHEAT FWD flameproof area air warmers a visual inspection must be carried out and the heater must be checked to ensure the insulation resistance reading is above 2MΩ per element at 500 volts dc.

If the heater fails this test the power and control circuits must be isolated.

To install the heater carefully remove from the packaging and check for damage. The air warmer should be fixed into place using the pre-drilled holes and all terminal connections checked for tightness prior to energising.

The appliance must be securely fitted to a wall or floor using only the brackets provided and the orientation of the heaters must be strictly adhered to with the heater tube remaining horizontal at all times.
