RELAY KIT INSTALLATION FOR MULTIPLE HEATER CONTROL
Supersedes: OPT-CL31-CL32 (01-22) 102247-A
OPTIONS CL31 AND CL32 FOR MODELS APD, F, B, UDAP, UDAS, UDBP, UDBS, UEAS, AND VR
⚠ CAUTION ⚠
• DO NOT use these multiple heater control options with a two-stage gas valve or a two-stage
thermostat.
• These instructions are designed to assist a qualified electrician in installing this multiple heater
control kit.
• All electrical wiring and connections, including electrical grounding, MUST be in accordance with
the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition) or, in Canada, with the Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA Standard C22.1. In addition, the installation must comply with local
ordinances and applicable gas company requirements.
•These relay kits are designed to permit the control of up to five heaters (one control unit and up to four additional
non-control units) with one single-stage thermostat or with a time clock and single or multiple single-stage
thermostats. For maximum safety, the multiple control is installed in the low voltage circuit. Interruption of the
supply voltage is not recommended.
•Refer to the installation manual provided with the heater for important safety information.
•Pay attention to all dangers, warnings, cautions, and notes highlighted in this manual. Safety markings should not
be ignored and are used frequently throughout to designate a degree or level of seriousness.
•Model/option/voltage applicability is listed in Table 1.

INSTALLATION
Install the relay kit as follows. Item numbers refer to Table 2.
1. Turn OFF gas and electric power.
2. Replace transformer on control unit (all models except UDBP and UDBS):
a. Remove or open panel(s) as necessary and locate factory-installed transformer (see Figure 1).
(1) For models APD, UDAP, UDAS, and UEAS, transformer is mounted on control board at bottom of control
compartment.
(2) For models F and B, remove left (when facing rear of heater) outer side panel to expose inner side panel
and wiring.
(3) For model VR, open control side only.
b. Mark and disconnect transformer wires and remove existing transformer.
c. Install replacement transformer:
(1) For models APD, UDAP, UDAS, UEAS, and VR, secure transformer (5) using same screws.
(2) For models F and B, slide Tinnerman clips (2A) over transformer (5) and secure transformer using screws
(2) from kit.
(3) Reconnect transformer wires.
d. Install or close panel(s) as necessary.

3. Install relay assembly on control unit and on all non-control units (see Figure 2):
a. For models APD, APD, UDAP, UDAS, UDBP, UDBS, and UEAS:
(1) At rear of heater, remove screws from edge of cabinet bottom.
(2) Secure relay assembly (1 and 1A) and cable clamp (3) as shown using existing screws for unit sizes
030–125 or one existing screw and one screw (2) from kit for unit sizes 150–400 and all UEAS models.
b. For models F and B:
(1) At rear of heater, remove thermostat terminal strip screws and remove terminal strip.
(2) Slide relay assembly (1 and 1A) bracket underneath thermostat terminal strip and secure bracket, terminal
strip, and cable clamp (3) as shown using existing screws.
(3) Secure blue and brown wires in cable clamp (3).
c. For model VR:
(1) At end of burner/control box, remove thermostat terminal strip screws and remove terminal strip.
(2) Secure terminal strip, relay assembly (1 and 1A), and cable clamp (3) as shown using screws (2) and
spacers (2A).
(3) Secure blue and brown wires in cable clamp (3).
⚠ CAUTION ⚠
Be careful not to short thermostat leads to a metal surface. Doing so will cause the transformer
to fail and require replacement.
