WARNING
T
O PREVENT PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO
FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSED BY A PROPANE GAS LEAK, INSTALL A GAS
DETECTING WARNING DEVICE.
I
F THE PROPANE GAS UNIT IS INSTALLED IN AN EXCAVATED AREA OR A
CONFINED SPACE, A WARNING DEVICE IS REQUIRED DUE TO:
•
P
ROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND ANY LEAKING GAS CAN
SETTLE IN ANY LOW AREAS OR CONFINED SPACES.
•
P
ROPANE GAS ODORANT MAY FADE, MAKING THE GAS UNDETECTABLE
EXCEPT WITH A WARNING DEVICE.
If the presence of gas is suspected, follow the warnings on Page
2 of this manual.

Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization,
recommended regulator settings and pipe sizing is available
from most regulator manufacturers and propane gas suppliers.
Since propane gas will quickly dissolve white lead or most
standard commercial compounds, special pipe dope must be
used. Shellac based compounds resistant to the actions of
liquefied petroleum gases such as Gasolac
®
, Stalactic
®
, Clyde’s
®
or John Crane
®
are satisfactory. The figure below shows a typical
propane gas installation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
THERMOSTAT
Movement of air must not be obstructed by furniture, door,
draperies, etc. The thermostat must be located a minimum of
five feet above the floor on a vibration-free inside wall with good
air circulation. The thermostat must not be mounted where it
will be affected by drafts, hot or cold water pipes or air ducts in
walls, radiant heat from fireplace, lamps, the sun, television,
etc. Consult the Instruction Sheet packaged with thermostat for
mounting instructions. Adjust the heat anticipator in the room
thermostat to obtain the proper number of heating cycles per
hour and to prevent the room temperature from overshooting
the room thermostat setting. Heat anticipator must be set at 0.4
amps.
All units have one stage of heating and one stage of mechanical
cooling. NOTE: Units with economizers can use thermostats
with one or two stages of cooling.
WARNING
T
O AVOID INJURY, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR DEATH, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
POWER BEFORE SERVICING OR CHANGING ANY ELECTRICAL WIRING.
WIRING
All internal wiring in the unit is complete. This unit is designed
for 60 hertz current operation at the voltages shown on the rating
plate. Bring in the contactor power supply per the supplied unit
wiring diagram. Connect the unit control panel to the room
thermostat using 24 volt wiring.
