  • Page 11: Clearances To Combustibles

    CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES A general clearance of 500 mm (20”) in every direction is recommended for servicing. In addition to this, it is very important to observe the minimum clearances to combustibles at all times to avoid any possibility of property damage or personal injury.
  • Page 12: Hangers Installation And Heater Suspension

    HANGERS INSTALLATION AND HEATER SUSPENSION The heater should be installed in accordance with the relevant provisions of National standards and Codes  of Practice in the destination country.  Suspension mechanism must allow for lateral tubing expansion. A minimum 300 mm (12") length welded link chain with a working load limit of at least 90 kg (200 lbs) is recommended (refer to Figure 5 for more details).
  • Page 13: Venting & Combustion Air

    VENTING & COMBUSTION AIR General Requirements The heater should be installed in accordance with the relevant provisions of National Standards and Codes of Practice in the destination country. Heaters can be operated according to the following appliance type:  Type A2. Gas appliance without flue gas system. The combustion air is taken from the installation space. Type B22.
  • Page 14: Combustion Air Supply

    Air Supply Air supply openings are required to admit air and shall be located below the radiant heaters. Exceptions are possible if the air supply openings are between the individual heaters and their location has been planned after proper evaluation of the air flow. The sum of the unobstructed cross-sections of all air supply openings shall not be smaller than the sum of the unobstructed cross-sections of all exhaust openings.
  • Page 15: Supplying Fresh Air

    Supplying Fresh Air Step 1 Remove the four nuts securing the Inlet Cage to the Burner Box. Do not remove the Gasket and Choke Plate. Step 2 Secure the Inlet Connector using the four M6 nuts. Flue Gas Exhaust Step 1 Remove the Screen from the Fan outlet.
  • Page 16: Herringbone Manifold System

    HERRINGBONE MANIFOLD SYSTEM The flue gas vacuum fan should position at the lowest point of the flue gas system. A condensate trap assembly must be provided at the end of the manifold system before the flue gas vacuum fan. To ensure that any condensation formed in the manifold is not trapped or allowed to drain back into the heater the manifold system should be arranged to fall slightly in the direction of the flue gas vacuum fan, 2 to 3 millimeters per meter.
  • Page 17: Gas Supply

    GAS SUPPLY General Requirements Before connecting gas to the heater, check the supply gas and supply pressure: match the information on  the rating plate of the heater. The gas meter and service must be sufficiently large to supply gas to the connected building gas load ...
  • Page 18: General Requirements Electrical Wiring

    ELECTRICAL WIRING General Requirements The electrical wiring to this heater must be installed in accordance with National Standards and Codes of Practice in the destination country. This appliance must be earthed. Electrical supply 230V, 50Hz Power consumption 70W (Herringbone 15W) Current rating 0.3 A Internal Wiring Diagram This is a two stage heater.
  • Page 19: Burner Operation

    BURNER OPERATION Starting sequence of operation Turn the thermostat on. When the thermostat calls for heat, the fan motor will energize.   After fan establishes the flow, the air-proving switch closes and activates the ignition sequence.  The ignition module, after a pre-purge period of approximately 45 seconds, energizes the igniter. The gas valve opens after sparking starts.
