HE-SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL

SECTION 3: CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES 3.1 Required Clearances to Combustibles

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Keep all flammable objects, liquids and vapors the minimum required clearances to combustibles away from heater.

Some objects will catch fire or explode when placed close to heater.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, injury or property damage.

Clearances are the required distances that combusti- ble objects must be away from the heater to prevent serious fire hazards. Combustibles are materials that may catch on fire and include common items such as wood, paper, rubber, fabric, etc. Maintain clear- ances to combustibles at all times for safety.

Clearances for all heater models are located on the burner of the heater and on Page 7, Figure 3 through Page 10, Figure 12 in this manual. Check the clear- ances on each burner for the model heater being installed to make sure the product is suitable for your application and the clearances are maintained. Read and follow the safety guidelines below:

•Keep gasoline or other combustible materials including flammable objects, liquids, dust or vapors away from this heater or any other appli- ance.

•The stated clearances to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90° F (50°C) above room temperature. Building materials with a low heat tol- erance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri- ply, etc) may be subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure that adjacent materials are protected from degradation.

•Maintain clearances from heat sensitive equipment and workstations.

•Maintain clearances from vehicles parked below the heater.

•Maintain clearances from swinging and overhead doors, overhead cranes, vehicle lifts, partitions, storage racks, hoists, building construction, etc.

•In locations used for the storage of combustible materials, signs must be posted to specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain required clearances from the heater to the com- bustibles. Signs must be posted adjacent to the heater thermostat. In the absence of a thermo- stat, signs must be posted in a conspicuous location.

•Consult local Fire Marshal, Fire Insurance Carrier or other authorities for approval of proposed installation when there is a possibility of exposure to combustible airborne materials or vapors.

•Hang heater in accordance to the minimum sus- pension requirements on Page 16, Figure 14.

•If the radiant tubes must pass through the building structure, be sure that adequate sleeving and fire stop is installed to prevent scorching and/or fire hazard.

HE-125, HE-150, HE-100, HE-40, HE-175 specifications

Roberts Gordon is renowned for its innovative heating solutions, and among its standout offerings are the HE-125, HE-175, HE-100, HE-150, and HE-40 heaters. These products exemplify cutting-edge technology and efficiency designed for commercial and industrial applications.

The HE-125 and HE-175 variants are among the top-rated infrared heaters available. They utilize advanced infrared technology to provide direct heating to objects, reducing the need to heat the entire ambient air volume. This method results in energy savings while delivering consistent warmth where it's needed most. The HE-125 model has a heating capacity of 125,000 BTU, while the HE-175 pushes this to 175,000 BTU, making them suitable for larger spaces like warehouses and manufacturing facilities.

The HE-100 and HE-150 heaters are designed for flexibility and efficiency in a range of operational environments. These models support a wide range of input fuels including natural gas and propane, making them an adaptable choice for various setups. The HE-100 has an output of 100,000 BTU, and the HE-150 follows with 150,000 BTU. Both units are engineered with robust construction materials, ensuring durability and longevity, while also featuring advanced safety systems to prevent overheating and other hazards.

In contrast, the HE-40 heater stands out for smaller spaces, making it an ideal option for garages, workshops, or smaller commercial environments. With a capacity of 40,000 BTU, it effectively delivers consistent warmth without the excessive energy consumption associated with larger units.

All Roberts Gordon models prioritize energy efficiency, often meeting or exceeding current energy codes. They incorporate advanced control systems that allow precise temperature regulation, further optimizing energy use. Additionally, the heaters are designed with minimal maintenance needs, featuring durable components that ensure long-term reliability and performance.

With a legacy of quality and innovation, Roberts Gordon continues to set the standard in infrared heating technology. The HE series exemplifies a commitment to efficiency, safety, and versatility, making them suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Whether heating a vast warehouse or a small workshop, these heaters provide reliable performance tailored to user needs.
