GENERAL

IMPORTANT:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FIRE HAZARD. Do not use as a residential or house- hold heater. Keep combustible material away from heater. Do not operate heater where flammable vapors, gases or liquids are present.

To avoid personal injury read “IMPORTANT INSTRUC- TIONS” on this page before installation or operation of heater.

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD. This radiant heater is a component of the complete heating sys- tem. The heating system designer must consider the risks associated with its operation and specify ade- quate controls and safety devices. Where the conse- quences of failure could result in personal injury, property damage or fire, back-up controls are essen- tial.

INSTALLATION

The Chromalox STAR radiant heater is shipped fully assem- bled. The heater can be hung from the ceiling with 4 chains or rigid angle brackets attached to the heater brackets located on the back of the heater, for 2 and 4.5 kW heaters, chains can be attached to the four holes in the corners of the back reflector. (Chromalox offers hanging chain kits for these heaters that will allow for instal- lations 2 to 6 feet from the ceiling.) Minimum spacings:

Ceiling to top of heater is 2 feet. Wall to sides of heater is 3 feet. Floor to bottom of heater is 10 feet.

Installer should consult state and local codes and meet any applicable requirements regarding the installation.

FIRE HAZARD. Radiant heaters are capable of devel- oping high temperatures, care should be taken to:

A. Mount heater with the proper clearance between heater and walls, ceiling and floor.

B. Mount heater in horizontal position only. Do not mount vertically or tilted in any direction.

C.Do not mount heater over combustible surfaces.

D.Do not stack or store combustible materials direct- ly below the heater or in the space a distance of 5 feet from any projected edge of the heater.

E.Do not operate the heater without Ground Fault Equipment Protection.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in per- sonal injury and fire.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

1.Read all instructions before using this heater.

2.This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Allow sufficient time for heater to cool before serviceing or cleaning heater.

3.Do not stack or store combustible materials in the radiation path under the heater or in the space a distance of 5 feet from any pro- jected edge of the heater as shown in figure 4.

4.Always disconnect heater when not in use.

5.Do not use outdoors in areas subject to wind.

6.Connect to properly grounded outlets or building ground.

7.This heater has hot surfaces. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.

8.Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

9.In order to prevent equipment damage, protect with a ground fault device such as Chromalox STAR-GF series monitor. An equip- ment protection device circuit breaker is also acceptable.
