Insert Manual

For complete installation instructions, see the Tube Heater General Manual
that accompanies this Series Insert Manual.

The DET3 Series Infrared Tube Heater is a positive pressure, two-stage radiant heater system. This insert
manual is a supplement to the Tube Heater General Manual and provides specific information related to
the DET3 Series model. All persons involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of the
heater system must read and understand the information in this insert manual and the accompanying
Tube Heater General Manual.

For Your Safety

If you smell gas:

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause
property damage, injury or death. Read the installation, operation and maintenance
instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.

This heater must be installed and serviced by trained gas installation and service
personnel only. Failure to comply could result in personal injury, asphyxiation, death,
fire or property damage.

In locations used for the storage of combustible materials, signs must be posted to
specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances
from the heater to the combustibles. Signs must either be posted adjacent to the
heater thermostats or in the absence of such thermostats, in a conspicuous location.

Not for residential use! Do not use this heater in the home, sleeping quarters,
attached garages, etc. Installation of a commercial tube heater system in

residential indoor spaces may result in property damage, serious injury,
asphyxiation or death.

• Do not try to light any appliance. • Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.

• Do not touch any electrical switch. • Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• Do not use any phone in your building. • If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

Keep these instructions for future reference.

WARNING

Placement of explosive objects, flammable objects, liquids and vapors close to
the heater may result in explosion, fire, property damage, serious injury or death.
Do not store, or use, explosive objects, liquids and vapor in the vicinity the heater.

Clearance to Combustibles is defined as the minimum distance that must exist between the tube surface,
or reflector, and any combustible items (see Figure 1.1). It also pertains to the distance that must be
maintained from moving objects around the tube heater.

The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90ºF (32ºC) above room
temperature. Building materials with a low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas,
tri-ply, etc.) may be subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to
assure that adjacent materials are protected from degradation.

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property
damage, serious injury or death. Read and understand, the installation, operating and
maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment. Only
trained, qualified gas installation and service personnel may install or service this equipment.

Not for residential use! Do not use this heater in the home, sleeping quarters, attached
garages, etc. Installation of a commercial tube heater system in residential indoor

spaces may result in property damage, serious injury or death.

Instructions for the following are detailed in the Tube Heater General Manual:

• Design considerations

• Hanger suspension and placement

• Tube layout and assembly

• Burner control box suspension

• Reflectors (and accessories)

• Venting and combustion air intake

• Gas requirements

• Baffle assembly

NOTICE

Connecting the thermostat with a voltage other than 24VAC may damage the heater. The DET3 Series
requires a 24VAC connection to the thermostat. The DET3 Series is equipped with an internal relay
board. A field supplied external transformer must be installed, see wiring diagram (Figures 2.1A-B).

NOTE: A yellow control wire replaces the external terminal plug on stainless steel models or models with
water resistant upgrades.
