TUBULAR UNIT HEATER
HIGH ALTITUDE DERATION
This Tubular Unit Heater has been manufactured utilizing
standard burner orifices and a normal manifold pressure
setting as per the specifications shown on your unit rating
plate.
All unit deration must be done through field adjustments by
a qualified technician. Once the proper adjustments are made
Operation (continued)
in the field, attach label #J17-06459 to the unit, and record
adjusted manifold pressure, altitude of the unit installation
and the technician’s name and date on the label using a
permanent marker.
Refer to Installation Instruction section on Adjustments-Gas
Input Rate for adjusting the manifold pressure.
