! NEVER attempt to service the heater while it is plugged in, operating or hot. Any guard or other protective
device removed for servicing a heater must be replaced prior to operating the heater.
! Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The heater should be inspected before use
and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It is
imperative that the control compartment, air passageways and burner of the heater be kept clean.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The installation must conform to local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1. Heaters shall be
installed by a licensed contractor or licensed installer. Clearances to combustibles as outlined in this manual
should always be observed. In areas used for storage of combustible materials where they may be stacked
below the heater, NFPA54 requires that the installer must post signs that will “specify the maximum permissible
stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to combustibles.”
Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access to
the heater. Each installer shall use quality installation practices when locating the heater and must give
consideration to clearances to combustible materials, vehicles parked below, lights, overhead doors, storage
areas with stacked materials, sprinkler heads, gas and electrical lines, and any other possible obstructions or
hazards. Consideration also must be given to service accessibility.
The heater, when installed in aircraft hangars and public garages, must be installed in accordance with
ANSI/NFPA 409-latest edition (Standard for Aircraft Hangars), ANSI/NFPA 88a-latest edition (Standard for
Parking Structures), and ANSI/NFPA 88b-latest edition (Standard for Repair Garages) with the following
clearances:
a. At least 10 feet above the upper surfaces of wings or engine enclosures of the highest aircraft that may be
housed in the hangar and at least 8 feet above the floor in shops, offices, and other sections of hangars
communicating with aircraft storage or service areas.
b. At least 8 feet above the floor in public garages. SWARNING
:: Minimum clearances marked on the heater
must be maintained from vehicles parked below the heater.
a. Installation of this appliance is to be in accordance with latest edition of CSA B149.1 (the Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code).
b. For installation in public garages or aircraft hangars, the minimum clearances from the bottom of the
infrared heater to the upper surface of the highest aircraft or vehicle shall be 50 percent greater than the
certified minimum clearance, but the clearance shall not be less than 8 feet.
Although these heaters may be used in many applications other than space heating (e.g., process heating),
SunStar Heating Products, Inc. will not recognize the warranty for any use other than space heating.
This heater is for Indoor Installation only and can be used in Unvented mode. The term Unvented actually means
Indirect Vented. While the products of combustion are expelled into the building, national codes require
ventilation in the building to dilute these products of combustion. This ventilation may be provided by gravity or
mechanical means.
This heater is not an explosion proof heater. Where the possibility of exposure to volatile and low flash point
materials exists, it could result in property damage or death. This heater must not be installed in a spray booth
where the heater can operate during the spraying process. Consult your local fire marshal or insurance company.
SWARNING
: Certain materials or objects, when stored under the heater will be subjected to radiant heat
and could be seriously damaged. Observe the MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
listed in this
manual and on the heater at all times.
