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 Propane Vapor Models 1. Propane vapor models are designed to run directly off of a supply tank or from a separate external vaporizer. 2. Run proper size line (See Specifications on Page 12) to pipe train on heater. Have a qualified gas service person inspect installation to be sure that everything is installed according to local codes and ordinances. 3. After installation is complete check all connections for leaks. DO NOT USE FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING. Natural Gas Models 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 Electrical Installation (460V Fans) 1. Connect power cord to fan control box. 2. Make field connections of wires in fan box as shown in Figure 5B. 110V power supply or 0.5 KVA 460V to 110V transformer must be used to supply power for heater. 3. Connect deluxe thermostat control (optional) in heater box as shown in Figure 5A on Page 15. IMPORTANT: Heater must be interlocked with fan for safe operation. IMPORTANT: Thermostat must be installed for safe operation.
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 Mounting The plenum thermostat must be ordered separately from the heater unit. 1. Follow installation instructions provided with the thermostat assembly. 2.
5. Installation Figure 5D Plenum Thermostat Mounting on Bin Wall Figure 5E Side view of thermostat showing corrugation seal.
5. Installation 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. Install transition high-limit using supplied self-drilling screws. Figure 5F The transition connecting the heater to the bin with the plenum thermostat in place.
6. Operation Operating Temperature Table IMPORTANT: Do not exceed plenum temperatures listed in table. Low Temperature Batch High Temperature Batch Dry No Stirring High Temperature with Stirring Continuous Flow (Recirculating) Corn 5°-20° Above Ambient Temperature 120° 140° 160° Rice 5°-10° Above Ambient Temperature 100° 100° Not Recommended Beans and Wheat 5°-20° Above Ambient Temperature 110° 120° Not Recommended This table is not intended as a drying guide.
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 indicator lights should illuminate indicating power to the control circuit. 6. Heater should now be lit. If not 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 Seasonal Inspection and Service All parts are made of weather-proof construction and are designed to require a minimum of service; however, we recommend the following items be checked and serviced, as described, before the unit is used each season. Replace any damaged or questionable parts. THESE CHECKS WILL HELP ELIMINATE POSSIBLE MINOR FAULTS AND ASSURE DEPENDABLE OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT WHEN IT IS NEEDED. 1.
7. Service 10. LP MODELS ONLY - After heater has been operating for some time and temperatures have stabilized, check temperature of the gas line between outlet side of vaporizer and the gas regulator. If gas line becomes “frosted” with an accumulation of ice build-up, adjust vaporizer slightly closer to the flame. If line reaches a high temperature where it is hot to the touch, adjust vaporizer further away from the flame.
8. Troubleshooting - Heater Trouble Burner will not fire. No gas pressure on gauge. No ignition spark. Probable Cause Check-Out Procedure 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. Check for power on terminals 1 and 8. 5.
