Electronic Unit HeaterKB Platinum Series

The KB Platinum Horizontal Unit Heater

King’s KB Platinum series unit heaters are the most full-featured unit heaters on the market, with in-built electronic

thermostat for accuracy and remote control for simple operation. With integrated summer fan only and thermostat timer mode, the

KB Platinum has you covered. Designed for use as primary or supplemental heat sources in large or exposed areas, including high-rise

buildings, stores, warehouses, garages, water treatment and ﬁre room vaults to prevent freezing. Spiral ﬁnned steel elements and high

CFM ensure even air distribution producing cooler element operation, prolonging heater life. By combining the highest quality

components, with a dynamically balanced fan blade, the KB Platinum unit heater will provide years of trouble-free service.

Includes universal wall/ceiling bracket for simple installation.

Engineering Speciﬁcations

Construction: All exterior and interior metal enclosure parts are made from

20 gauge electrogalvanized Steel with a rust inhibiting baked enamel finish.

Smooth rounded corners and protective edge trim give an attractive modern

appearance.

Adjustable Outlet Louver: Louvers direct air up or down as needed for the

heating application.

Rear Intake Screen: Heavy gauge steel screen protects against foreign

objects making accidental contact with the rotating fan blade.

Spiral Fin Elements: The metal sheath element is copper brazed with spiral

fins then molded into a coil configuration. This combination produces the best

heat transfer while eliminating the potential for hot spots by positioning the

element in the maximum airflow stream.

Totally Enclosed Fan Motor: Permanently lubricated long life, unit bearing

with 20cc of oil. Epoxy-coated motor with enclosed rotor resists moisture and

corrosion for long-lasting, trouble-free operation.

Aluminum Fan Blade: Axial flow-type fan mounted directly to the motor shaft

for maximum efficiency.

Thermal Overload: Heaters shall be equipped with King’s patented thermal

overload Smart Limit Protection®, which disconnects elements and motor in

Contractor shall supply and install KB Series unit heaters manufactured by King Electrical Mfg. Company. Heaters shall be of the wattage and

voltage as indicated on the plans.

the event normal operating temperatures are exceeded. If thermal overload

trips due to abnormal operating temperatures, thermal overload shall remain

open until manually reset by turning the heater off for 15 minutes.

Automatically reset of thermal overloads, which allow the element to

continue to cycle under abnormal conditions, will not be accepted.

Internal Controls: Magnetic contactors are standard on all 480V heaters,

all 208V/1-Phase, 240V/1-Phase, 277V/1-Phase heaters above 6kW, and

all 3-Phase heaters. The control voltage is equal to the line voltage (208,

240 or 277) except for 480V models where a transformer is provided for

24V control. Over 5kW the line voltage control is operating the contactor coil

only and will draw only 1 Amp. See page 64 for control voltages.

Fusing: Internal circuit fusing is provided when the heater ampacity exceeds

48 Amps to comply with N.E.C. standards. A fan delay is provided standard

on models 12.5-kW and above to dissipate residual heat from the heating

elements.

Easy Installation: A quick access panel located on the bottom of the

heater allows for quick wiring and easy maintenance for the life of the

heater. Includes universal wall/ceiling bracket for simple installation.
