Safety Precautions WARNING Asphyxiation Hazard ■ Do not use this radiant heater for heating human living L.B. White Company to determine combustion air quarters. ventilation requirements of the heater. ■ Do not use in unventilated areas. ■ The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed. ■ Lack of proper ventilation air will lead to improper combustion. ■ Proper ventilation air must be provided to support the combustion air requirements of the heater being used.
Safety Precautions 1. Do not attempt to install, repair or service this heater or the gas supply line unless you have continuing expert training and knowledge of gas heaters. Qualifications for service and installation of this equipment are as follows: QUALIFICATIONS FOR SERVICING AND INSTALLATION: a.
14. A qualified service person shall inspect the heater and its gas train at least on an annual basis. This should consist of, but is not limited to, the following points of action: -- Thorough inspection of the heater’s component parts for corrosion, stripped threads, etc. with subsequent parts replacement as necessary. -- Gas pressure checks. -- Start-up and shut down of the heaters and zone control panel to test for proper operation. 15. Turn off the gas supply when the heater is not in use.
13. The corrosive atmosphere present in animal confinement buildings can cause component failure or heater malfunction. The heater should be periodically inspected and cleaned in accordance with the Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions in this manual. Make sure that livestock is protected by a back up alarm system that limits high and low temperatures and also activates appropriate alarms. 9. A qualified service agency must check for proper operating gas pressures upon installation of the heaters. 10.
GAS TRAIN ASSEMBLY Your heater is supplied with one of the following gas train assemblies. Refer to the appropriate illustrations.

ZONE CONTROL PANEL COMPONENT FUNCTION AND INSTALLATION The zone control panel is a remote mounted control system. It allows non-electrical, modulating , thermostatically controlled operation for a specific quantity of heaters within a heating zone. The panel will control the following quantity of heaters depending on fuel type. Modulating System I5 L. P.
Start-Up Instructions 3. WARNING Fire or Explosion Hazard ■ Do not force the safety control valve button. ■ Use only your hand to depress the gas control button. Never use any tools. Fully depress the button on the safety control valve while applying flame to the inner cone point. Keep the button fully depressed for about 30 seconds until the inner cone stays lit. Allow outer combustion cone to heat up completely.See Fig.8. FIG.
Cleaning Instructions FIG. 9 CAUTION ■ Disinfectants utilized in agricultural animal confinement buildings may contain chemicals damaging to components of the heater. ■ Protect the safety gas control valve and pressure valve by wrapping these components with a plastic bag before disinfecting. ■ Always make sure to remove the plastic bag or other protective covering before start up. Clean the heater on a regular basis to maintain proper combustion and to eliminate future problems.
faucet pressure only, spray water against the cones to wash out the build up of dust in the cones and the venturi tube. Work your way around the entire cone assembly. 3. Run water down through the elbow and out through combustion cones. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until water runs clean. 5. Remove the plastic bag. Inspect the cones and venturi tube to make sure these areas are clean. 6. Return the heater to its original hanging position. 7.
Maintenance Instructions 1. Have your gas supplier check all gas piping annually for leaks or restrictions in gas lines. Also, at this time have your gas supplier clean out the sediment trap on the zone control panel of any debris that may have accumulated. 2. The heater’s surrounding area shall be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. 3. Regulators can wear out and function improperly.
SAFETY GAS CONTROL VALVE AND BURNER ORIFICE 1. Disconnect the gas hose. FIG. 11 2. Remove the thermocouple from the safety control valve. SCREW FILTER HOLDER 3. Remove the filter (if necessary) and the screw on filter holder. 4. Pull safety control valve from venturi tube. 5. Using a 6 mm hex nut driver, remove orifice and clean if necessar y. When reinstalling, do not overtighten as thread damage may occur. ORIFICE THERMOCOUPLE 1. Remove the thermocouple bracket nut from its mounting stud. See Fig.
THERMOSTATIC HEAD ( Located on Modulating Zone Panels) The head assembly includes the adjustable thermostatic head, capillary and sensor. The part number for the assembly is 09416 ( w/26 ft. capillary). FIG. 13 THERMOSTATIC HEAD THERMOSTAT HEAD & CAPILLARY 400-09416 ATTACHMENT KNOB Replacement would be needed if damage occured due to: -- Careless handling during installation, cleaning or servicing. -- Locating the sensor and capillary too close to floor or ground level, allowing contact with livestock.
