MONITOR HEATING SYSTEMS
Section 3: Operation
3-1 INTRODUCTION
Monitor is an easy-to-operate vented kerosene
heater. Routine operation features high BTU output,
automatic adjustment of room temperature, low fuel
and power consumption, and choice of automatic or
manual heater operation.
This section provides all information necessary to
operate the Monitor Heating System. All operation
procedures specified should be performed in the
order in which they are described.
3-2 OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS
The following specifications apply to the operation
of the Monitor 2400.
— Rated Efficiency (as applied to kerosene
heaters): 93%*
— Rated Efficiency (as applied to central heating
systems): 88%
— Power Consumption : as follows
HIGH MEDIUM-HIGH MEDIUM-LOW LOW
IGNITION BURN BURN BURN BURN
310watts 68watts 61 watts 52watts 45watts
— Circulation Fan Output: 388 cubic feet/min.
— Fuel source : Remote, separate tank
— Potential heating area : 900-3200 sq. feet
*The energy from the combustion process is
released in the form of heat and vaporized water.
Normally, heating systems discharge water from
combustion to the atmosphere without condensing
it. This 93% efficiency rating means that, assuming
the water cannot be condensed, 93% of the heat
produced by the combustion process is recovered.
Assuming the water can be condensed, the effi-
ciency is 88%.
NOTE: Actual effective heating area depends upon
numerous factors such as type and severity
of climate, type of dwelling construction,
condition of dwelling, and thickness and
effectiveness of dwelling insulation.
Table 3-1 lists Monitor 2400 performance specifica-
tions at various user-selected heat output settings.
