Does the unit have a wiring schematic? Are Low voltage connections marked on air handler? Need brand name to go with model numbers. Do you have a large enough electric service to handle the 15.7kw?

The control wiring should be on that same schemetic? The heat controls are only two wires. From AHU to t'stat and back to AHU. I'd recheck resistive load values on the #6 wire again.
