A. 7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (a) Burner/Control Internal Wiring IMPORTANT: All electrical work should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70. Supply: 120 V, 60 Hz, single phase Current Rating: 0.3 amp max 2319 Laurelbrook Street, Raleigh, NC 27604 · (800) 542-7221 · FAX (919) 834-4526 · www.ultimate-products.
A. 7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (CONT.) The electrical supply to the heater is by three wires: live, neutral and ground connections. It is recommended that the supply cable be in metallic conduit to the 3/4'” hole provided. Power is ONLY supplied to the terminal in the back of burner as shown below: Power is supplied to fan through the knock out on the side of the burner housing. Fan leads should be connected to the burner leads using the wire nuts provided.
A. 8 VENT REQUIREMENTS AND DETAILS (1) UNVENTED UNITS: Heaters may be installed without a flue providing the governing building codes are met and that consideration is properly given to possibilities of condensation on cold surfaces. Installation shall meet the following requirements when unvented: (A) Internal volume of the heated room must be greater than 214 cu. ft. per 100 BTU/HR of heaters installed.
A. 8 VENT REQUIREMENTS AND DETAILS (CONT.) Flue joints should be sealed using RTV high temperature sealant and secured using at least three (3) sheet metal screws. Should condensation occur flue should be shortened or insulated. The terminal must exit the building at least 7 ft. above any area accessible to the public. The terminal must be at least 3ft. away from any air intake to the building. If the heater is equipped with ducted combustion air, the terminal must be at least 3 ft.
A.10 INSTALLATION CHECK OUT AND START UP Inspect installation and ensure that it has been carried out in accordance with these instructions. Ensure that electrical and gas supplies are isolated. The gas supply should be purged and tested for soundness in accordance with Local and National Safety codes. Open isolating gas valve and test gas connections for soundness using soap solution. Remove burner cover plate by unscrewing 6 screws. Take care not to damage the sealing gasket.
A.10 INSTALLATION CHECK OUT AND START UP (CONT.) To shut down the heater, switch off the power supply to the system. Automatic control of the heater or a series of heaters may be achieved by incorporating thermostats, time switches, manual over-ride switches etc. in the electrical supply to the heater(s). It is essential to allow a delay of 15 seconds after switching off the system before attempting to restart.
B. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS B.1 SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS Under normal working conditions, it is recommended that the Ultimate Products Heater should be serviced annually. In exceptionally dirty or dusty conditions such as may occur in a foundry, more frequent servicing may be desirable. Servicing work should be carried out by a qualified gas service engineer. IMPORTANT: 1. Never rest anything, especially ladders, against the heater. 2.
E. BURNER NER/ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY – Inspect the burner/electrode assembly by removing the six screws securing the combustion chamber cover plate to top of control box, taking care not to damage the sealing gasket. Remove the burner head by unscrewing it from the injector taking care not to drop it on the leads of the ignition electrodes. Replace the electrode assembly if it is not in good condition.
B. 3 REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS WARNING: TURN OFF GAS AND ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES BEFORE STARTING REPAIR WORK. A. TO REPLACE ANY COMPONENTS IN THE BURNER/CONTROL ASSEMBLY – This assembly should be removed from the heater by disconnecting the gas and electrical supplies (also the fresh air intake duct if used). Loosen the bolts and slide the burner/control assembly from the emitter tube. B. TO REPLACE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY – Remove top cover of combustion chamber by removing six (6) screws.
F. TO REPLACE THE BURNER/CONTROL UNIT – Remove the control housing cover. After observing their positions, disconnect the wires to the burner control unit. Remove the screws securing the burner control unit to the base of the control housing. Remove the burner control unit. Install replacement unit, observing correct positions for color coded cables. G. TO REPLACE THE VACUUM SWITCH – Remove the burner control unit as in paragraph F. Disconnect the rubber tube connection at the vacuum switch.
