Listed and Canadian Standards Association Certifi ed for constant use in Class I, GroupsB, C and D Division 1 or 2 hazardous locations, and National Electric Code minimum gas ignition temperatureidentifi cation number T2A, 280 o C (536 o F) or T3A, 180 o C (356 o F).1.3 For Groups C and D Check This BlockThe Heater shall be Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Listed and Canadian Standards Association Certifi ed for constant use in Class I, GroupsC and D Division 1 or 2 hazardous locations, and National Electric Code minimum gas ignition temperature identifi cation number T2A, 280 o C (536 o F) or T3A, 180 o C (356 o F).1.4 For Group D Check This BlockThe heater shall be Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Listed and Canadian Standards Association Certifi ed for constant use in Class 1, GroupD Division 1 or 2 hazardous locations, and National Electric Code minimum gas ignition temperature identifi cation number T2A, 280°C (536°F) or T3A, 180°C (356°F).1.5 The Heater shall be the natural convection type intended for wall mounting.2. Construction2.1 The back panel shall be designed to be easily mounted to the wall using keyhole slots.2.2 The back panel shall be fabricated for 16 gauge steel, 9" deep by 20" high, fi nished with corrosion resistant polyester powder coating.2.3 The back panel shall include perforations and a baffl e to direct outside air between the panel and the mounting surface.2.4 The front cabinet shall be easily removable by unthreading 4 bolts from threaded inserts.2.5 The front cabinet shall be fabricated from 16 gauge steel. 9" deep by 20" high, and coated with corrosion resistant polyester powder coating.2.6 The front cabinet shall be sloped to prevent objects from being placed on top causing restricted air fl ow.3. Elements3.1 The elements shall be constructed of heavy duty resistance wire insulated by magnesium oxide refractory, which has been highly compactedto transmit heat and act as an electrical insulator.3.2 The elements are to be contained in a tube assembly, which is then swaged to an O.D. of 1.25".3.3 The element assembly is inserted into a copper tube with 3" x 3.25" aluminum fi ns spaced at 48 fi ns per linear foot.3.4 The fi nned assembly is to be mounted to the rear panel by polyester powder-coated brackets.4. Controls (Optional)4.1 The CVEP shall include the following built in control features: operating temperature control magnetic contactor control transformer with 120V 24V secondary4.2 The control components shall be factory installed, wired and tested.5. Terminal Box (For units without transformer or contactor options)The terminal box shall be constructed of copper free aluminum, to include a grounding lug and to be U.L. listed for Class I hazardous locations(as indicated in 1. General Specifi cations above.)52
