The Cata-Dyne™ heater can be used in all
industrial indoor locations where a source of
infrared radiant heat is required, providing
adequate ventilation is available.
CERTIFICATION
Model WX (Series X) & MKII Cata-Dyne™
Explosion-proof, flameless infrared catalytic gas
heaters are certied by the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) for use in Class I, Divisions 1
and 2, Group D hazardous (classied) locations
and FM Approvals, for use in Class I, Division
1, Group D hazardous (classied) locations,
temperature code T2C at an ambient temperature
of 40ºC (104ºF). WXS models are suitable for
Class I, Division I, Group D, temperature code
T2B at an ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F).
Models WX & MKII are certied ATEX/CE for use
in gas environments, Category 2, Zone 1 & 2,
Group IIA.
The Model BX (Series G) Cata-Dyne™ heater
is certied by CSA and FM for use in general
industrial non-hazardous locations. Models listed
are certied for industrial use only, for either
natural gas or propane gas. CSA approved models
are equipped for high altitudes: 0 - 4,500 ft. (0-
1,370 m) above sea level.
INSTALLATION
To ensure maximum efciency of your Cata-
Dyne™ heater, it should be installed with the
heating surface positioned plus or minus 45° from
the vertical plane at a height of no more than
8 ft. (2.44 m). All heaters must be installed in
accordance with the latest revisions of the codes
described in table 4 and in accordance with any
local codes and regulations. Before installing the
heater, all information on the heater nameplate
must be carefully reviewed. The nameplate lists all
the fuel and electrical requirements for the heater.

HEATER CLEARANCE
SPECIFICATIONS
Clearances
Appropriate clearances from the heating surface must be
observed during the installation of the Cata-Dyne™ heaters
(See Figure 1 & Table 4). Maintain nameplate clearances
from combustible materials such as wood, cloth, paper, etc.
If the heater is to be installed overhead maintain clearances
as stated in gure 1 & table 4 from vehicles parked below.
Fuels
The Cata-Dyne™ flameless gas heater is designed to
operate on clean, dry natural gas or propane as specied
on the heater nameplate.
Natural Gas - these heaters are designed to use natural
gas (1,000 Btu/ft3, 37 MJ/m3 ) at 7 in. w.c. (1.73 kPa), 4.5
in. w.c. (1.12 kPa), or 3.5 in. w.c. (0.86 kPa).
Propane - these heaters are designed to use propane
gas (2,500 Btu/ft3, 92 MJ/m3) at 11 in. w.c.
(2.72 kPa).

Piping
A main shut-off valve must be installed upstream of
1.
all auxiliary heater controls.
The 100% safety shut-off valve and appliance
2.
regulator (natural gas heaters only) must be installed
in the upright position (horizontally).
The thermostatic temperature controller should be
3.
installed with the dial shaft in the horizontal position.
The maximum inlet pressure to the 100% safety
4.
shut-off valve, thermostatic temperature control
and appliance regulator is 1/2 psi (3.4 kPa). If the
inlet pressure is higher than this, a low-pressure
service regulator must be installed upstream of these
components.
The maximum inlet pressure to the low-pressure
5.
service regulator (available from CCI Thermal) is
250 psi (1.7 MPa). If the inlet pressure is higher than
this, a high-pressure regulator must be installed
upstream.
FIGURE 2
Diagram illustrates typical Natural Gas installation.
Gas appliance regulators and manual shut off valves are
required standard components for all CSA approved heaters;
they are available as optional accessories for FM approved
heaters.
All components should be installed as indicated in
6.
Figure 2 (WX and BX models only) or Figure 3 (MKII
model only).
Electrical
1.
All wiring is to be installed in accordance with the latest
revisions of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)/
National Electrical Code (NEC) and/or any applicable
local codes.
2.
It is desirable to install an indicating light on all starting
systems. This will reduce the possibility of the power
being left on once the heater is started, which can
severely reduce the lifespan of the heater.
3.
Ground connections for 120 V and higher voltage
heaters are required as indicated in Figures 4 and 5.
The number of terminals in the junction box can be two
.
4
of four depending on the number of elements used in
the fabrication of the heater. All MKII models incorporate
a single element and therefore have only two terminals.
The connection procedure for the different combinations
is as described in Figures 4 and 5:
FIGURE 3
Diagram illustrates typical Natural Gas installation.
Gas appliance regulators and manual shut off valves are required
standard components for all CSA approved heaters; they are
available as optional accessories for FM approved heaters.
CAUTION:
Install MKII series heaters with controls on sides or bottom of heater
only.
