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.
Safety Symbols
Safety is the most important consideration during installation, operation and maintenance of the infrared
heater. You will see the following symbols and signal words when there is a hazard related to safety or
property damage.
Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation

CAUTION
NOTICE
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
Notice indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in property
damage.
Applications
This is not an explosion proof heater. Consult your local fire marshall, insurance carrier and other
authorities for approval of the proposed installation.
Commercial / Industrial
Infrared heaters are designed and certified for use in industrial and commercial buildings such as
warehouses, manufacturing plants, aircraft hangars and vehicle maintenance shops. For maximum safety,
the building must be evaluated for potential hazards before installing the heater system. A critical safety
factor to consider before installation is the clearance to combustibles.
Residential
This heater is NOT approved for use in any residential application. This includes, but not limited to,
attached garages, living quarters, solariums, etc. Consult the local fire marshal and/or insurance provider
if unsure of your application.
WARNING
Not For Residential Use.

DR Series Manual
Clearance to Combustibles
WARNING
Improperly connected gas lines may result in serious injury or
death, explosion, poisonous fumes, toxic gases, asphyxiation.
Connect gas lines in accordance to national, state, provincial
and local codes.
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 of the heater.
Failure to comply with the published clearances to combustibles could result in personal injury, death
and/or property damage.
CAUTION
Signs shall be posted specifying the maximum permissible stacking height in order to
maintain clearances to combustibles.
Hazards Include:
For maximum safety the building must be evaluated for hazards before installing the heater system.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
• Gas and electrical lines
• Combustible and explosive materials
• Chemical storage areas
• Areas of high chemical fume concentrations
• Provisions for accessibility to the heater
• Adequate clearances around air openings
• Combustion and ventilating air supply
A critical safety factor to consider before installation is the clearances to combustibles. Clearance to
combustibles is defined as the minimum distance you must have between the infrared surface, or
reflector, and the combustible item. Considerations must also be made for moving objects around the
infrared heater. The following is a partial list of items to maintain clearances from:
• Vehicle parking areas
• Vehicles with lifts or cranes
• Storage areas with stacked materials
• Lights
• Sprinkler heads
• Overhead doors and tracks
• Dirty, contaminated environment
Combustible Items Include: Moving Objects Include:
• Wood • Overhead doors
• Paper • Vehicles on lifts
• Fabric • Cranes
• Chemicals • Hoists
• Wall or roof insulation • Car wash equipment
When installing the infrared heater system, the minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained.
These distances are shown in Chart 1.1 and on the heater. If you are unsure of the potential hazards,
consult your local fire marshall, fire insurance carrier or other qualified authorities on the installation of gas
fired infrared heaters for approval of the proposed installation.

DR Series Manual
Safety Signs and Labels
It is important to provide warnings to alert individuals to potential hazards and safety actions. ANSI Z83.19
and the National Fuel Gas Code require you to post a sign “specifying the maximum permissible stacking
height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to the combustibles” near the heater’s
thermostat or in absence of such thermostats in a conspicuous location. Signs should state the hazards
for the particular application and be legible to the building occupants. Consult the factory or a factory
representative for additional information on signage compliance.
