Dayton® High-Intensity Heaters

Description

Dayton high-intensity heaters become highly efficient generators of infrared radiation by heating a ceramic refractory material to incandescence. The principal operation is to pass a gas-air mixture

through a perforated ceramic refractory, and ignite it on the refractory surface. This causes the ceramic material to be heated to approximately 1780°F and generate large amounts of infrared radiation that may be directed anywhere heat is desired. Infrared radiation heats people and objects it strikes and not the intervening air. Included is a direct spark ignition system, manifold pressure tap, porous ceramic grids, a polished aluminum reflector and a chain set for hanging the heater. Typical applications are loading docks, warehouses, service garages, factories, aircraft hangars, etc.

! WARNING		! WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment,

alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, injury or death. Read and understand the installation,

operating and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.

This heater must be installed and serviced by trained gas installation and service personnel only. Failure to comply could result in personal injury, asphyxiation, death, fire and/or property damage.

! WARNING

Not for residential use!

This heater is not approved in any

residential application. This includes (but is not limited to) the home, living

quarters, attached garages, etc. Installation in residential indoor spaces may result in property damage, serious injury or death.

In locations used for the storage of combustible materials, signs must be posted to specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain

the required clearances from the heater to the combustibles. Signs must either be posted adjacent to the heater thermostats or in the absence of such thermostats, in a conspicuous location.

For Your Safety

If you smell gas:

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not touch any electrical switch.

•Do not use any phone in your building.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.

•Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

Keep these instructions for future reference.

1.0 Safety

! WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, serious injury or death. Read and understand, the installation, 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 infra-red heater. You will see the following symbols and signal words when there is a hazard related to safety or property damage.

! WARNING

Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or injury.

! CAUTION

Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

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

Infra-red 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.

NOTICE

Notice indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in property damage.

! WARNING

Not For Residential Use.

Installation of an infra-red

heater system in residential indoor spaces may result in

property damage, serious injury or death.

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

• Vehicle parking areas

• Vehicles with lifts or cranes

• Storage areas with stacked materials

• Lights

• Sprinkler heads

• Overhead doors and tracks

• Dirty, contaminated environment

! CAUTION

Signs shall be posted specifying the maximum permissible stacking height in order to maintain clearances to combustibles.

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 infra-red surface, or reflector, and the combustible item. Considerations must also be made for moving objects around the infra-red heater. The following is a partial list of items to maintain clearances from:

Combustible Items Include:

•Wood

•Paper

•Fabric

•Chemicals

•Wall or roof insulation

Moving Objects Include:

•Overhead doors

•Vehicles on lifts

•Cranes

•Hoists

•Car wash equipment

When installing the infra-red 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 infra-red heaters for approval of the proposed installation.

! WARNING

AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Maintain Clearances to Combustibles to Prevent the Risk of Fire.

Clearances to combustibles must be maintained in order to prevent the ignition of combustible materials. In locations used for the storage of combustible materials, signs must be posted to specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to the combustibles. Signs must either be posted adjacent to the heater thermostats or in the absence of such thermostats in a conspicuous location. Clearances are provided on the heater’s safety labels and in the heater’s Installation & Operation Manual. Refer to applicable ANSI orNFPA-54 Standards or local codes for further information. Post this tag adjacent to the heater’s thermostat or controls before operating the heater.
