TYPICAL SYSTEM OVERVIEW
HEATER OPERATION
Cambridge S-Series Blow-Thru® heaters are utilized
to meet the space heating requirements of commercial
or industrial buildings. The control system is typically
designed to cycle the heaters on and off in response to
the rise and fall of the space temperature. The heater
will discharge air at the temperature selected (up to
HEATER CONFIGURATION
160ºF). The operating thermostat is typically located
near the perimeter of the building in a location which
is out of the direct path of the heated discharge air,
insulated from cold surfaces, and shielded from cold
drafts created by air infiltrating the building.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ROOF TOP MOUNTING
mWARNING:
Due to the size and weight of this equipment, it
is recommended the heater mounting structure
be reviewed and approved by a qualified
structural engineer and the roof manufacturer
before installing this equipment.
IMPORTANT
Before proceeding with the installation, verify the
feasibility of the location selected with respect to
accessibility for service and maintenance functions.
IMPORTANT
To minimize snow and rain ingestion, position the
heater inlet opposite the prevailing winds.
mCAUTION
To prevent contaminated air from being drawn
into the heater, install the heater’s inlet at least
10 feet from any building exhaust, process
exhaust, sewer stacks, or other sources that
would allow contaminants to be drawn into
the heater. Consult local codes for additional
references.
1. Prepare roof penetration to the dimensions below.
See page 6 for Roof Top Mounting - Curb/Stand/
Rail drawing.
IMPORTANT
Accurate measurements are critical and will affect
the installation process. Verify that the roof opening
aligns with the curb opening.
2. Secure the mounting curb and mounting rail(s) per
the structural engineer and roof manufacturer’s
recommendations.
IMPORTANT
The roof curb and mounting rail(s) should be
installed so that the heater will mount level.
Cambridge recommends mounting the heater a
minimum of 24” off the roof surface in areas where
snow accumulation could impact heater operations.
3. Attach the mounting stands to the heater while the
heater is on the ground. Adjust the height of the
stands so the heater inlet is slightly (1/8” below
level) lower than the discharge. This allows any
ingested moisture to drain out of the heater, through
weep holes located at the inlet of the heater, onto
the roof surface.
4. Lower the discharge duct through the mounting
curb and the roof opening and secure the
counterflashing to the mounting curb.
5. Use a crane or comparable lifting device to raise
and position the equipment. Use a spreader bar to
prevent damage and connect slings to the lifting
brackets.
mWARNING:
Do not attach lifting means to heater accessories.
Make connections to heater only.
IMPORTANT
Inlet accessories may be attached on the ground or
on the roof depending on the method chosen by the
installer.
6. Caulk all the joints between the heater and the
accessories with silicone caulk to prevent water
leaks.
IMPORTANT
Do not caulk the downturn/counterflashing for the
curb interface.
7. Seal all roof penetrations to prevent roof leaks.

Due to the size and weight of this equipment, it
is recommended the heater mounting structure be
reviewed and approved by a qualified structural
engineer before installing this equipment.
IMPORTANT
Before proceeding with the installation, verify the
feasibility of the location selected with respect to accessibility to the equipment for service and maintenance functions.
mCAUTION
To prevent contaminated air from being drawn
into the heater, install the heater’s inlet at least 10
feet from any building exhaust, process exhaust,
sewer stacks, or other sources that would allow
contaminants to be drawn into the heater. Consult
local codes for additional references.
1. Prepare wall penetration to the dimensions below.
2. Connect the inlet accessories to the heater including the filter section (optional).
7. Install the wall sleeve to the downturn.
8. Install fiberglass insulation in the gaps around the
wall opening and the wall sleeve. Apply enough
material to accommodate the full thickness of the
wall.
9. Install finish trim pieces (by others) to the top,
sides and bottom of the wall sleeve on both the
inside and outside wall surfaces.
10. Apply silicone caulk at the joint between the wall
sleeve and the outside wall surface. Make certain
this is a continuous bead and that it runs the entire
width of the wall sleeve. Caulk all other exposed
joints.
11. Mount the gas train enclosure to the wall structure
and connect gas piping between the heater and the
enclosure.
12. Install the inlet skirt to the heater inlet and attach
the skirt extension to the exterior wall (page 21).
13. Install wall sleeve, second downturn and
directional elbows. Consult the job layout for the
orientation of the elbows.
3. Install structural uprights and associated wall supports per structural engineers recommendations.
4. Remove the lag bolts used to fasten the unit to the
skid.
5. Utilizing the lifting brackets on the front of the
heater, use a forklift or comparable lifting device
to raise and position the heater. Take precautions to prevent equipment damage (dents and/or
scratches) when the heater is being lifted into position.
6. Secure the heater in place with contractor supplied
hardware.
* Dimensions allow for 1½” clearance on each side
