4. PRE-INSTALLATION SURVEY The ATH / IA heating system must be supplied by gas piping of the correct diameter, length, and arrangement to function properly. For this reason, a layout drawing is necessary. Carefully survey area to be heated, for best results. Whenever possible, place burner and combustion chamber in coldest area. 5. MOUNTING CLEARANCES This heater must be mounted with minimum clearances between the reflector surface and combustibles as shown in FIGURE 1 (page 5) TABLE 3 (page 5).

6. SUSPENSION SYSTEM The system configuration and available support locations must be considered in order to locate the radiant tubes correctly. Labour and material can be reduced by locating (system configuration permitting) directly under structural members such as joists, steel or wood beams, etc. Chain is recommended for hanging the tube system, connecting the hangers to beam support as illustrated in FIGURE 2 (below).

8. REFLECTOR INSTALLATION After burner and tubes have been installed, slide the focus shield reflectors one at a time into the wire hangers. As each successive focus shield reflector is installed on an in-line installation, the ends of the focus shield reflectors will overlap to provide continuous coverage over the entire tube system. The overlapping joints MUST BE FASTENED together. Note: that for both horizontal and angle mounting, the tube must be level.
NOTE: Where required the ATH Series Heaters will be supplied with the turbulators, snugly installed into the end tube(s) of the system configuration. FIGURE 7 REFLECTOR ARRANGEMENTS 9. FLUE VENTING In many jurisdictions, this agricultural heater can be installed for animal husbandry without direct vent and does not require interlock to an exhaust system—check local codes and authorities. The ATH / IA series is approved for both direct vented and indirect vented applications.
FIGURE 8 FLUE VENT The total maximum allowable length of vent and combustion air duct is 80' for ATH 130, and 50' for ATH 110, 80, 60, and 45. Neither the flue vent or combustion air duct is to exceed 50'. The total maximum vent allowable is reduced by ten feet for every 90o vent elbow installed. Should the system be installed with a 90o elbow in the radiant tube, 10' of vent pipe must be deducted from the maximum length respectively.
10. COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE DUCT In all agricultural applications, air for combustion must be ducted from outside to intake flange on blower. The total maximum combined length of vent and combustion air duct is 80' for ATH / IA 130, and 50' for ATH / IA 110, 80, 60, and 45. Neither the flue vent or combustion air duct is to exceed 50'.
DO NOT use pressures greater than 1/2 psig. to pressure check the heater. TEST FOR LEAKS: All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after the installation is completed. Apply soap suds solution to all connections and joints and if bubbles appear, leaks have been detected and must be corrected. DO NOT USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST FOR LEAKS. NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITH LEAKING CONNECTIONS.
12. HEATER EXPANSION Due to the characteristics of tube heaters, the installer must allow for 1” expansion for every 10’ length of tube. In order to address this characteristic, it is suggested that the gas line, flue vent, and combustion air intake (if used) be installed in such a manner, that normal expansion of the heater will be accommodated. FIGURE 9 ALLOWANCE FOR HEATER EXPANSION 13.
Each individual tube heater requires 120 Volts 60 Hz electrical power sized for 145VA. The heater can be controlled by a line voltage thermostat or "ON/OFF" switch. IMPORTANT: Do not install the thermostat in the direct radiant stream. The voltage at the spark ignition control is 110V. Note that proper functioning of the heater will be adversely affected if the input voltage varies by more than +/- 10% WARNING: The heater must be electrically grounded in accordance with the current Electrical Code.
15. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION / FLAME RECOVERY/ SAFETY LOCKOUT Start up - Heat Mode When the thermostat is set above the ambient temperature, 120 VAC is supplied to the L1 terminal. When this occurs the control will power up and perform a self-check routine and begin a prepurge*, if selected. Following the pre-purge, the gas valve is energized and sparks commence until flame is detected or the Trial For Ignition (TFI) period expires.
16. LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Refer to the lighting instructions on the inside cover of the burner housing. Again, if the unit goes off on safety, main power to the unit must be manually interrupted for a 30 second reset period before the heater can be restarted. NOTE: On initial installation, the unit may lock out on safety owing to the length of time required to bleed air from the gas piping system. LIGHTING SEQUENCE: • • • • Rotate gas valve knob to ON position. Set Thermostat to the desired setting.

CHECK FOR 110 VAC ACROSS GAS VALVE IF OKAY, REPLACE GAS VALVE. CHECK GROUND WIRE, IGNITER AND HT CABLE. CHECK THAT BURNER FLAME COVERS ELECTRODE IF CHECKS ARE OKAY, REPLACE IGNITION CONTROL NOTE: IF IGNITION CONTROL GOES INTO LOCKOUT, MODE RESET THE SYSTEM.
20. SPARK IGNITION CIRCUIT The step-up transformer in the ignition control provides spark ignition at 30,000 volts (open circuit). To check the spark ignition circuit, proceed as follows.
