HE+ Series Infrared Gas Heater Installation and Operation Manual

Heater Expansion

It is a normal condition that during heat-up and cool-down a tube

heater will expand and contract. Allowances for heater expansion

must be made in the gas connection, venting and combustion air

ducting. Improper installation, alteration, or adjustment can result in

property damage, injury or death. Refer to Section 12

WARNING

Venting

Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon monoxide

poisoning, injury or death. This heater may be directly or indirectly vented from

the space. Venting must be in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and

national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA) and as indicated in this manual.

Refer to Supplementary Model Manual Sections 5 & 6

Gas Connection

Improper installation, connection, or adjustment can result in property

damage, toxic gases, asphyxiation, injury or death. Using an ap-

proved flexible gas connector in the USA, the gas supply to the heat-

er must be connected and tested in accordance with all local, state,

provincial, and national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA) and as indicated in this manual.

Refer to Section 12

WARNING

Start-Up ‘SMOKE’ Condition

During start up, the heating of material coatings used in the production process of tubes and

reflectors will create smoke during the initial period of operation. This condition is normal and

temporary .

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to adequately clear any smoke from the space.

Notify site and safety personnel to ensure that alarm systems are not unduly activated.

IMPORTANT

THERMOSTAT SETTING FOR COMFORT

Infrared radiant (IR) heating system provide comfort from the effect of radiant heat and ambient

air heat.

If your IR system is controlled by a thermostat that senses radiant heat (TruTemp or ThermoCon-

trol Plus), then set the thermostat to the actual desired comfort temperature (ie: 65°; 68°; 20°C).

If your IR system is controlled by a standard 24V or 120V thermostat that senses only air temper-

ature, then start with a thermostat setting that is 5° to 7°F (3° to 5°C) lower than the desired com-

fort temperature. Some trial and error setting may be required to ‘fine tune’ the comfort tempera-

ture that best suits your site and provides most economical operation.
