4. Heater Zone Temperature Control:
a. Space Heating: Each heater zone will be controlled by a 24 Vac infrared set-back
thermostat (refer Part 4.01), or other 24 Vac thermostat as supplied by the manufacturer
b. Outdoor Patio Comfort Heating: Heaters or heater zones will be controlled by a Patio
Control Panel (refer Part 4.02) as supplied by the manufacturer
5. Indoor Installation Requirements and Mechanical Exhaust:
a. Installation in Canada:
i. Gas fired infrared radiant heating system installation will comply with the
manufacturer’s installation instructions, the current national Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code B149.1 and all applicable local codes.
ii. The gas fired infrared radiant heating system will be provided with mechanical
ventilation at a rate of 300 cfm for each 100,000 Btuh system input or fraction thereof.
The ventilation system will be interlocked so that any reduction of the ventilation rate
will cause the shutdown of the interlocked heater or group of heaters.
b. Installation in the USA:
i. Gas fired infrared radiant heating system installation will comply with the
manufacturer’s installation instructions, the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
223.1 standards, and all applicable local codes.
ii. Natural or mechanical exhaust will be provided for the gas fired infrared radiant
heating system at a rate of 4 cfm for every 1,000 Btuh of natural gas system input, or
at a rate of 4.5 cfm for every 1,000 Btuh of propane gas system input.
E. Electrical Requirements:
a. Power supply wiring (25Vac, 60Hz) will connect to the heater ignition module as per the
wiring diagram in the manual supplied by the manufacturer.
b. For each heater or zone of heaters the installer will provide a 120V/24V/60HZ
transformer with a capacity of 40VA for the first heater plus 20VA for each additional
heater in the zone.

and will produce limited
volumes of noxious components CO (< 100 ppm) and NOx (<20 ppm)
3.02 Safety
Clearances to combustibles in all directions will be defined individually per heater in the
technical manual as certified by CSA international.
1. When installed outdoors a minimum required clearance to combustibles for Model
RSEP1S25P/N (23,000 Btuh input) will not exceed 5.5” above the heater when oriented
in a horizontal mounting position, and will not exceed 9.5” above the heater when angle
oriented up to 30° from horizontal mounting position
2. When installed outdoors a minimum required clearance to combustibles for Model
RSEP1S35P/N (35,000 Btuh input) will not exceed 7.5” above the heater when oriented
in a horizontal mounting position, and will not exceed 9.5” above the heater when angle
oriented up to 30° from horizontal mounting position
3.03 Energy Efficiency (Radiant Efficiency)
The heater burner will produce and emit high intensity radiant heat energy. The radiant coefficient
(radiant output in relation to heat input, corrected dry value) will not be less than 0.45 (45%
radiant heat output) for inputs up to 50,000 Btuh as tested and certified by CSA International
according to ANSI Z83.19A-2002 ~ CSA 2.35A - 2002 B and/or European Standard EN 419-2
