Installation

! WARNING! CAUTION

Read and understand, the installation, operating and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.

Only trained, qualified gas installation and service personnel may install or service this equipment.

Design

This heater cannot be used in a building with a roof that is not insulated or where condensation problems can occur.

To ensure a safe, properly designed heating system, a layout should be developed for the correct placement of the infra-red heater(s). Aside from safety factors such as clearance to combustibles (see Chart 1.1 on page 5), you should take into consideration:

•The environment (e.g., is it cold/drafty, average, protected)?

Note: The effective infra-red surface temperature of a person or object may be diminished with wind above 5 mph, wind barriers may be required.

•What is the area of heat coverage (e.g., sq. ft.) needed (Chart 2.1, Figure 2.2)?

•Is the heater being used in a social gathering area, or work station(s)?

•The mounting height of the heater (Chart 2.1, Figure 2.3).

•The type of mounting to be used.

•Physical space needed for the heater (Figure 2.1).

•Gas supply and connections.

•Combustion, ventilating air supply and exhaust path.

•Electricity and wiring to the heater.

This installation manual, along with national, state, provincial and local codes, address these issues. It is critical that you read, understand and follow all guidelines and instructions. Always inspect and evaluate the mounting conditions, space for exhaust, gas supply and wiring.

IMPORTANT: Fire sprinkler heads must be located at an appropriate distance from the heater. This distance may exceed the published clearance to combustibles.

Certain applications will require the use of high temperature sprinkler heads or relocation of the heaters.

Potentially flammable substances, such as Propylene Glycol or antifreeze solutions, are not to be used in conjunction with this heater.

For further information consult NFPA 13. Always observe applicable state and local codes.
