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

Ventilation
The catalytic reaction in Cata-Dyne™ heaters occurs
when natural gas or propane reacts with oxygen to
produce water vapor, carbon dioxide and infrared energy.
Ventilation must be provided to allow adequate supply of
oxygen for the reaction.
For every 1.0 ft2 (0.093 m2) of heater surface, 50 ft3/hr
(1.42 m3/hr) of air supply is required. For example, a WX
24 x 24 heater (20,000 Btu/hr / 5.857 kW) would require
200 ft3/hr (5.66m3/hr) of air to ensure proper operation of
the Cata-Dyne™ heater.
To reduce the carbon dioxide and water vapor
concentrations in the building, a vent hood assembly can
be installed to provide positive ventilation from the heater
(See Figure 6).
FIGURE 6
4. Turn on the power to the electrical elements.
5. After 15 minutes, depress the reset button on the top
of the 100% safety shut-off valve. The button should
return to the original position and internally open the
valve and allow gas to flow to the heater. If the valve
does not stay open when the reset button is released,
it may be necessary to wait an additional few minutes
and then depress the reset button again. This will allow
the electrical elements additional time to warm up.
6. When the catalytic reaction is well established, turn off
the electrical power to the elements.
7 If the heater is equipped with a thermostatic
temperature controller, it can be set to the desired
setting after the catalytic reaction has been established
for at least one hour.
Shut Down
Turn off the gas supply to the heater.
OPERATION
All Cata-Dyne™ heaters are supplied with a Safety Shut-Off
Valve (SSOV)/Thermocouple assembly to ensure the safe
operation of the heater. Under no circumstances should the
reset button be held or locked into the depressed position
by use of a mechanical restraint. A tamper resistant model
SSOV is available if desired.
Start-up
1. Ensure the heater has been installed according to all
instructions and relevant codes.
Multi-Heater Start-up
Cata-Dyne™ heaters can also be purchased/installed in multiheater assemblies. If these assemblies are 12 V, each heater
must be started individually. This ensures the correct voltage
and current will be reaching the heater from the power supply.
12 V HAZARDOUS
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
Most oil and gas production buildings have an area
classication as follows:
1. Class I, Division 1, within the building.
Refer to gures 7 and 8.
2. Class I, Division 2, up to 10 ft. (3 m.) from the building
in any direction. Refer to gures 7 and 8.
3. Class I, Division 2, between 10 ft. (3 m.) and
25 ft. (7.6 m.) from the building in all directions at an
elevation of 18 in. (0.45 m.) above the ground.
Refer to gures 7 and 8.
Connection to the power supply must be outside of the
Class I, Division 2 location. (refer to Figure 9). All electrical
apparatus and wiring within this area must conform to the
appropriate codes.
2. Turn on the main gas supply to the system.
3. If the heater is equipped with a thermostatic
temperature controller, rotate the dial completely
clockwise to the fully open position.
Page 5
SPACE HEATING
A separate heat load calculation should be done for each
building in which a Cata-Dyne™ heater will be installed for
space heating purposes.
The heatload calculation determines the building heat losses
through the structure and allows for air infiltration (refer to
the Cata-Dyne™ catalog or visit www.ccithermal.com for the
sample Heat Load Calculation).
Cata-Dyne™ heaters produce low intensity infrared heat that
is absorbed by objects within the range of the heat source.
The closer the object is to the source of heat the more
heat the object will absorb. Cata-Dyne™ heaters should
be placed close to the floor level within the building to heat
objects close to the floor.
Ideally, Cata-Dyne™ heaters should be mounted 1-3 ft.
(0.3-1 m) from the floor and equally spaced around the
building perimeter for space heating applications.
If low mounting is not practical, then overhead mounting may
be utilized. Overhead mounted heaters should be sloped
face down to a maximum 45° angle to direct the infrared
energy towards the floor. Overhead mounting should be
restricted to heaters of 30,000 Btu.hr (8.8 kW) capacity and
larger.
If the building requires only one heater, place the
Cata-Dyne™ heater as close as possible to the center of the
longest wall.
For multiple heater installations, space the Cata-Dyne™
heaters as evenly as possible around the perimeter of the
building.

SPOT HEATING
There are several factors to consider when Cata-Dyne™
heaters are utilized for spot heating.
Infrared energy travels in straight lines from the face of the
Cata-Dyne™ heater covering approximately 160° of an arc
and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
The heater should therefore be mounted as close as
practical (min of 28 in. (71 cm)) to the object requiring heat
for maximum temperature rise.
Make sure the piping is large enough to handle the gas load
(refer to the sample Piping Calculation in the Cata-Dyne™
catalog for sizing information).
Make sure the electrical starting system has sufficient
current carrying capacity and conforms to all applicable
electrical codes.
It is advisable to install an indicator light in the electrical
circuit to reduce the possibility of the power being left on
once the heater is started.

narrow objects or WX/BX 12 x 12 for a square object.
Objects requiring heat should be painted dull, dark colors for
maximum infrared absorption and objects not requiring heat
should be painted light or reflective colors.
Insulate and protect plastic, rubber and similar materials from
direct intense infrared heat.

PERSONAL SAFETY
GUARANTEE
The Cata-Dyne™ flameless infrared catalytic gas heater
does not produce harmful carbon monoxide gas when used
with natural gas or propane. Adequate ventilation must
be incorporated in any building design to ensure oxygen
replenishment and removal of any carbon dioxide. Protective
grills should be used on any installation where personnel may
come in contact with the face of the heater.

CLEANING
The Cata-Dyne™ heater box may be cleaned but only
once it has been allowed to cool. If your Cata-DyneTM
catalytic pad (white pad) is dirty it should never be
contacted in order to avoid damaging it. This means that
it should not be wiped down, sprayed with water or blown
with compressed air. Any contact with the catalytic pad
may damage the surface requiring the owner to return the
unit to the factory for repair.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
1.
Ensure that the fuel matches that listed on the nameplate.
2.
Ensure that the voltage matches that listed on the nameplate.
3.
Check for any physical damage. All signs of physical
damage to the catalyst pad such as holes, tears or a general
deterioration of the catalyst bed signal that it is time to have
the heater repaired. Excessive vibration may cause damage
to the inner catalysts structure which may cause premature
failure.
4.
Check the gas supply pressure at the heater – 7 in. w.c. (1.73
kPa), 4.5 in. w.c. (1.12 kPa), or 3.5 in. w.c. (0.86 kPa) for
natural gas and 11 in. w.c. (2.72 kPa) for propane.
5.
Check the gas orice for obstructions or dirt and ensure
the size matches that listed on the nameplate. It may be
necessary to install a lter upstream of the heater or regulator
if the gas supply is dirty. If the fuel supply is constantly dirty
and/or wet it would be advisable to use bottled propane fuel.
6.
Check the mounting position of the heater. The face of the
heater should be preferably in the vertical position and should
not vary more than 45° from the vertical position for maximum
efciency.
7.
Check for saturation of the catalyst face caused by
condensation or rain running down the face of the heater. If
the heater has been exposed to water, it is advisable to place
the unit in a warm area for a period of a few hours or longer
if required. Once the moisture is removed, the heater can be
re-installed and re-started.
8.
Check the jumper cable size to ensure that the resistance of
the cable is not reducing the current to the heater. This would
not allow sufcient power to the electrical element to preheat
the catalyst to the activity temperature. It is recommended to
run the service vehicle at fast idle while starting the heater.
9.
Cata-Dyne™ heaters are designed to use clean fuel and
to be used in non-contaminated atmospheres. Sulphur
compounds in the fuel or atmosphere will poison the catalyst
bed over a period of time and render the heater inoperative.
If the heater has been exposed to sulphur compounds, it
should be sent to the factory for service.
10.
Avoid spraying the face of the heater with high-pressure air,
steam or water because this can damage the catalyst bed, if
physical damage is visible, return the heater to the factory for
servicing.
11.
Ensure that the temperature controller is correct for the model
size, fuel, and pressure specications for the heater it is tted
to. If the temperature controller is too low, the heater
have sufcient fuel rating to operate and will stop.
Separate Installation and Operation Instructions are available for oven and industrial heating applications.
