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

The heater is equipped with a hot-surface ignition system.

11.1 Sequence of Operation

1.Turn the thermostat up. When the thermostat calls for heat, the SmartValve® II will energize. After a short period, power is supplied to the blower motor.

2.When the motor approaches nominal running RPM, the pressure switch closes and signals the ignition module/SmartValve® II.

3.The ignition module/SmartValve® II then ener- gizes the hot-surface igniter for a timed warm-up period (approximately 45 to 60 seconds). After the warm-up period, the gas valve is energized.

4.If a flame is detected, the gas valve remains open and the igniter is de-energized. When the call for heat is satisfied, and the system control mechanism de-energizes the burner line voltage supply, the gas is turned off.

5.If no flame is detected by the flame sensing rod, the igniter is de-energized and the module/ SmartValve® II will close and a purge period begins. After the purge, the module/SmartValve® II acts to power the igniter for a second warm-up period and a second trial for ignition period. If flame is still not established, a third purge, warm-up, and trial cycle begins. After four trials,

the module/SmartValve® II will lockout for one hour or until reset.

6.If the flame extinguishes during operation, the igniter module will provide multiple trial sequences described in step 5. If ignition is not re-established, the module/SmartValve® II will lockout for one hour or until reset.

7.After lockout, reset by turning down thermostat for five seconds, and then raising it again to desired temperature, or by disconnecting power and then reconnecting.

11.2 To Shut Off Heater

Set thermostat to lowest setting.

Turn OFF electric power to heater.

Turn OFF manual gas valve in the heater supply line.

11.3 To Start Heater

Turn gas valve and electric power OFF and wait five minutes for unburned gases to vent from heater.

Turn ON main gas valve.

Turn ON electric power.

Set thermostat to desired temperature. Burner should light automatically.

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.
