P age |1 Thank you for your purchase of our LYNX Deluxe Eave Mount Patio Heater. This product has been manufactured with the highest quality materials available, and combines the most advanced, state of the art, internal components with cutting edge, heater design technology . This product is sure to provide you many, many, years of enjoyment and comfort.
P age |2 Avoid locations that are in close proximity to combustible materials (see illustration diagrams and mounting distances) Avoid locations that are so low that, it could cause danger for those passing by. Standard and preferred installation places the gas exit (and vented valve access cover) of the heater on the RIGHT side. This position places the gas exit and the AC adaptor cord at the REAR of the heater installation.
P age |3 A minimum pipe size of ½” is required for inlet piping. The supplied exit coupling of this heater is ½”NPT (female). A ½” leaver-handled, manual gas shut-off valve should be installed within 6 feet of the appliance to allow emergency gas shut-off and provide isolation for servicing. All gas pipe connections to the heater must be sealed with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing tape. Prior to use, the gas supply line should be checked for leaks by applying a mild solution of soap and water.
P age |4 MOUNTING THE HEATER Initial mounting considerations have been discussed, and now it’s time commit your placement theory into motion. Consider the following pieces of information to help you through: The Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater is made from the finest materials available- heavy gauge stainless steel. As a result, this heater is heavy- It weighs around 50 pounds and must be mounted securely.
P age |5 If it has been determined that the heater be mounted straight down, i.e., with no angle on its pivot point, then the heater should be mounted NO CLOSER than 14” from the ceiling. The side clearances should be NO CLOSER than 12” to a side wall, and the rear clearances should be NO CLOSER than 12” to a rear wall. Use the LOWEST pair of holes in the mounting bracket extension arms. See illustration below.
P age |6 IMPORTANT NOTE: Use only the mounting brackets provided with this heater. Heater must be installed in a horizontal manner parallel with the ground. The heater can, however, be tilted upward to a maximum of 30 degrees. NEVER mount the heater on a vertical axis. Such an installation is considered unsafe and will void all warranties.
P age |7 Mounting Bracket Assembly Locate and assemble the mounting brackets based on your pre-determined mounting distance to the ceiling (14” if mounting flat, 18” if mounting at an angle). Slide the long bracket extension INSIDE the main mounting bracket until the intended set of holes align. The entrance slot is at the bottom of the main mounting bracket. For each bracket, use quantity (2) ¼-20 x ½” Hex Bolts (provided).
P age |8 After assembling the mounting brackets, they can now be installed in the pre-selected location. Please again refer to the mounting bracket spacing diagram, page 4. The spacing of the outer-most sets of holes of the mounting brackets is 48”. The spacing of the inner-most sets of holes is 45-1/2”. These numbers are given to you as a reference for planning. Mount one single mounting bracket first. Choose the side which may be the closest to a combustible material.
P age |9 All gas pipe connections to the heater must be sealed with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing tape. Prior to use, the gas supply line should be checked for leaks by applying a mild solution of soap and water. Never use an open flame to check for leaks. See section titled ‘Checking for Gas Leaks’, page 10. Run the gas line to the vicinity of the heater. It is recommended that the gas line be securely fixed to the wall or mounting surface.
P a g e | 10 CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS DANGER! To prevent fire or explosion, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electrical arcing, cell phones, etc.) in the area while performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak test using fire or open flame. The following leak test proceedure is to be performed on all newly installed gas pipes, fittings, and connections: 1. Create a soapy solution of 1 part dish soap and 3 parts water. 2.
P a g e | 11 MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS If the AC adaptor is NOT being used, and it is intended to run the heater from battery power only, then NO special electrical connections need to be considered. Assure the the AC/DC output plug, at the right end of the heater, is covered with the rubber plug that is mounted under the jack. If the AC adaptor IS being used, the battery function becomes secondary and used as back-up. Electrical connections need to be considered.
P a g e | 12 Touch Screen Remote Transmitter-remove the cover on the back of the remote control unit and install (4) AAA 1.5 V batteries. Take special note of the (+) and (-) terminals. Heater- remove the (2) screws holding the louvered end plate at the far, right end of the heater. This is the SMALLER of the 2 access plates. The battery pack will be mounted directly inside, and onto the endplate. Carefully lift the (black) sealed pack out from the retaining clip.
P a g e | 13 INITIALIZING THE REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM- REFERENCE ONLY Locate the wireless wall switch, and press the “OFF” button. Confirm that the red LED flashes. The LED will flash every time that any of the 4 buttons is pushed. This confirms that the unit is functioning, and that the button selection has been confirmed. NOTE: in ALL cases, the remote controls have already been factory initialized. Press the ‘ON’ button on the wallswitch to confirm. You will hear ‘clicking’ coming from the heater.
P a g e | 14 Once the wireless wall switch has been successfully programmed, repeat the process with the touch screen remote control. Once again, press the LEARN button on the receiver. Release the LEARN button. You will now hear a single beep. Now push the lower, center MODE SET button on the transmitter until the word ‘ON’ is displayed in the upper left hand corner. Once the code is accepted, you will hear four beeps in rapid succession. You should also hear the pilot sparking rapidly.
P a g e | 15 then ‘time out’. This is part of the safety system. If this occurs, simply turn the wall switch to OFF, and then turn back to ON. The spark will return to its normal function. Repeat this operation until the pilot lights. Once the pilot lights, the heater will light within seconds. 4. ALSO NOTE: when the heater is operated for the first time, there may be a certain level of smoke exiting the heater exhaust vents. This may last for up to 15 minutes. This is NORMAL.
