GENERAL
To use this instruction sheet from Table 1 select the Installation Instructions by matching the Kit Model to the Heater Model. If a match does not exist consult Factory.
The kits are add-on options to STAR Radiant Heaters. The
installation and renewal parts identification for the heater is cov­ered in the instruction sheet provided with the heater. SAVE
BOTH COPIES OF THE INSTRUCTION SHEET.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power to heater before installing or servicing kit(s). Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage. Kit(s) must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
Always check to make certain the voltage rating of the kit
matches the voltage rating of the heater (See Nameplates).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING WALL MOUNTED STAR-GF
1. Check voltage on heater nameplate and STAR-GF to make cer-
tain voltages are the same. If voltages do not match, consult factory.
2. The STAR-GF will provide ground fault protection for STAR
Radiant heaters. The number of heaters serviced by one (1) STAR-GF is dependent on the number and length of the heat­ing elements. See Table 2.
3. See Instruction Sheet PG434 (provided with heater) for
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS and WIRING.
4. Using the STAR-GF as a template mark mounting holes on
wall. Use an anchoring method adequate to support the weight.
5. Wire between STAR-GF and heater, wire to terminal block.
Service entrance wiring to be made to contactor connectors. For wire gage see Table 1 of PG434.
6. The ground fault sensor has been factory set at .03 Amps, DO NOT CHANGE THE SETTING.

The Chromalox STAR-GF ground fault sensor provides a reli-
able and cost effective method for sensing ground faults. The pur­pose is to monitor for ground faults, sense potential heater failure symptoms and to protect equipment.
The current-carrying wires are routed through the current
transformer on the control. When ground current reaches the level set by the trip point adjustment, (.03 Amps), the relay trips, illu­minates the tripped LED and provides an output signal which de­energizes the magnetic contactor.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power to heater before installing or servicing kit(s).
Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage. Kit(s) must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
If heating element(s) fail to operate:
1. Open door of enclosure. DANGER: Hazard of Electric Shock. If "Tripped" indicator is on, this indicates one or more
heating elements are about to fail. Disconnect power and fol­low the GF Troubleshooting Diagram below.
2. If the "Tripped" indicator is not on, check for blown fuses or failed components within the heater's electrical system.

MAINTENANCE
The Chromalox STAR-TG tip over cutout with ground fault sensor provides a reliable and cost effective method for sensing ground faults and to shut off the heater in case of tip-over. The pur­pose of the ground fault control is to monitor for ground faults, sense potential heater failure symptoms and to protect equipment.
The current-carrying wires are routed through the current transformer on the control. When ground current reaches the level set by the trip point adjustment, (.03 amps), the relay trips, illumi­nates the tripped LED and provides an output signal which de­energizes the magnetic contactor.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power to heater before installing or servicing kit(s).
Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage. Kit(s) must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
If heating element(s) fail to operate:
1. Open door of enclosure. DANGER: Hazard of Electric Shock.
2. If "Tripped" indicator is not on, check for blown fuses or failed
electrical components in the heater’s electrical system includ­ing the tip over trip mechanism.then this indicates one or more heating elements are about to fail.
3. Check pendulums on the tip over switch mechanisms to be sure they are not blocked.
4. If the "Tripped" indicator is on, then this indicates one or more heating elements are about to fail. Disconnect power and fol­low the GF Troubleshooting Diagram below.
