5. Installation Machine to Earth Ground It is very important that a machine to earth ground rod be installed at the fan. This is true even if there is a ground at the pole 15' away. This ground needs to be as close to the fan as possible, but no more than 8' away. The ground rod should be connected to the fan control panel with at least a #6 solid bare copper ground wire, or in accordance with local requirements. The machine to earth ground provides additional safety if there is a short.
5. Installation CSA Heater Electrical Installation Always disconnect and lock out power before working on or around heater. WARNING Standard electrical safety practices and codes should be used when working with a heater. Refer to the National Electric Code Standard Handbook by the National Fire Protection Association. A qualified electrician should make all wiring installations. IMPORTANT: Heater must be interlocked with fan for safe operation. Heater Power Connection 1.
5. Installation Standard Heater - Second Heater Installation Two (2) standard heaters may be connected to one grain drying system and wired so they cycle together. One of the heaters should have a thermostat connected to it as per the installation instructions. That heater will be referred to as the primary. The other heater (without the thermostat) will be referred to as the secondary. 1. Install relay base (TD-100283) in primary heater control box. 2.
5. Installation Bin Configuration Figure 5C IMPORTANT: When mounting two (2) heaters on a bin it is imperative that they be situated as shown in Figure 5C. Plenum thermostat must be to the right of master heater and master heater must be to the right of slave heater. Plenum Thermostat Transition High-Limit Installation 1. Mark location on transition one foot up from the bottom (entrance collar) and centered in the transition. 2. Drill or knock out 7/8" diameter hole on marked location. 3.
5. Installation Plenum Thermostat Mounting The plenum thermostat must be ordered separately from the heater unit. 1. Follow installation instructions provided with the thermostat assembly. 2. Position the housing so that the bolt flanges are vertical and the cord exits the housing from the bottom. Mark position. 3. Use 6 (4.00") or 8 (2.66") self-drilling screws to mount the housing to the bin sidewall. DO NOT TIGHTEN COMPLETELY. Insert corrugation seal into gap between housing and sidewall.
5. Installation Heater Orifice Setup The factory has set the orifices size for propane, high temperature and natural gas, low temperature. 1. Determine the type of gas to be used: Propane or natural gas. 2. Determine the operating temperature ranges to be used: High or low. Refer to tables on Page 22 and Page 23. 3. For natural gas high temperature applications remove reducer bushing with pressure gauge and remove primary orifice from system. Replace reducer bushing and check connections for leaks.
6. Operation Operating Temperature Table IMPORTANT: The below table is not intended as a drying guide. It should be used as a reference for setting maximum plenum temperature for safe operation. Do not exceed plenum temperatures listed in table below.
6. Operation High-Low Heater Operation 1. High-Limit and cycling thermostat must be wired into heater control box for heater to operate. 2. Open all manual shut off valves to heater unit. 3. Start fan. This will supply power to heater. 4. Turn thermostat dial to its highest setting. 5. Turn toggle switch ON. Both lights should illuminate indicating power to the control circuit. 6. Heater will lite after purge. If heater fails to lite check to see that all gas is ON. 7.
6. Operation Adjusting the Vaporizer 1. Vaporizer should be adjusted so the vapor pipe train runs warm to the touch (100°-120°F). 2. Loosen 5/16" pivot bolts on adjustment bracket. 3. Tilt vaporizer away from burner to cool. Tilt toward burner to heat. Vaporizer may be raised or lowered for vertical adjustments. 4. Tighten 5/16" pivot bolts to fix vaporizer position. IMPORTANT: Only move vaporizer 1" at a time. Allow heater to run a few minutes for temperature to equalize.

7. Service All heaters are constructed of durable weather-resistant materials, so a minimum amount of service should be required. Before the unit is started for the first time each season there are a few items that need to be checked out. All damaged parts should be repaired or replaced. 1. Disconnect and lock out power to fan/heater. Open control box lid and inspect all components for moisture, vibration or rodent damage. Inspect and tighten all loose terminal connections. Replace any damaged wiring. 2.
8. Troubleshooting - Heater Trouble Burner will not fire. No gas pressure on gauge. No ignition spark. Burner will not fire. No gas pressure on gauge. Constant ignition spark. Probable Cause 1. Heater not wired. 1. Visually check fan control box to see if wires are connected. 2. Fan not running. 2. Fan contactor must be energized for heater to run. 3. Blown fuse. 3. Visually check fuse. 4. Bad ON/OFF switch. 4. Check ON/OFF switch contact block for proper installation and continuity.
