COMBAT® CABINET HEATERS INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING, OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL

SECTION 1: HEATER SAFETY

Your Safety Is Important to Us! This symbol is used throughout the manual to notify you of possible fire, electrical or burn hazards. Please pay

special attention when reading and following the warnings in these sections.

Installation, Service and Annual Inspection of heater must be done by a registered installer/contractor qualified in the installation and service of gas/oil- fired heating equipment.

Read this manual carefully before installation, operation, or service of this equipment.

Burner manufacturers manual is also provided to give detailed instructions on the operation of the burner. The settings for use of the burner with the heater are shown in these instructions.

This heater is designed for heating non-residential indoor spaces. Do not install in residential spaces. These instructions, the layout drawing, local codes and ordinances, and applicable standards that apply to gas piping, electrical wiring, venting, etc., must be thoroughly understood before proceeding with the installation.

SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY

•To install the heater, as well as the fuel and electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon recommends the installer contact a local building inspector, Fire Officer or insurance company for guidance.

•To use the information given in this manual together with the local and national codes to perform the installation.

•To install the heater in accordance with the Clearances to Combustibles of this heater.

•To furnish all needed materials not furnished as standard equipment.

•To plan location of supports, flues and air intakes.

•To provide access to burners for servicing.

•To provide the owner with a copy of this installation, commissioning, operation and service manual.

•To never use heater as support for ladder or other access equipment and never hang or suspend anything from heater.

•To ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the area to comply with the requirements of

all relevant local and national codes.

2.1 Clearances to Combustibles

In all situations, clearances to combustibles must be maintained. Caution must be used when running the heater near combustible materials such as wood, paper, rubber, etc. A wall tag is on the back cover of this manual as a permanent reminder of the safety instructions and the importance of the required

clearances to combustibles. Affix the tag on a wall near the heater.

2.2 Corrosive Chemicals

CAUTION

Do not use heater in an area containing corrosive chemicals.

Corrosive chemicals will damage the burner and heat exchanger parts.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in property damage.

Roberts-Gordon cannot be responsible for ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the sub-contractor or the owner identifies the presence of combustible materials, corrosive chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere on the premises.

*Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical compounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These com- pounds are frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the lifespan of the heater compo- nents will be greatly reduced. Warranty will be invalid if the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.

2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes

All appliances must be installed in accordance with the latest revision of applicable standards and local and national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas and venting installation. NOTE: Additional standards for installations in Public Garages, Aircraft Hangars, etc. may be applicable.

The main relevant regulations for installation within the UK are:

•Gas safety (installation and use) regulations, 1984 and amendments - 1996.

•BS6230 - Specification for the installation of gas fired forced convection air heaters for commer- cial and industrial space heating of rated input exceeding 60kW. (This standard also applies to oil-fired heaters, except for the fuel supply).

•BS6230 - Parts 2 & 3, fire precautions in the design and construction of buildings.

•BS6891 - Low pressure installation pipes.

•BS5410 - Codes of practice for oil firing. Part 2 installation of 44 kW and above output capacity for space heaters, hot water and steam supply purposes.

•Institute of Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/2.

•Building regulations.

•IEE regulations.

•Health and safety at work acts.

•Requirements of local authority, fire officer and insurance company.
