5. Operation
Light
Time Delay Operation - Standard Heater
HH-1089E Time Delay Reset Operation
The electronic time delay will indicate the operating condition of the heater through the LED light shown
in Figure 5A. This light should be on the exterior control panel of the heater when the unit is installed
correctly. This light is very helpful in identifying the status of the flame probe (open or closed) and will
indicate a lock out condition.
Start-Up
The light should be ON when the ON/OFF switch is set to ON. This indicates that the heater has power
and the flame probe is closed. The gas solenoid should open and ignitor should spark. The light will remain
on until the flame probe opens. The light should go OFF if flame is established within the 30 second trial
for ignition.
If flame is not present or the probe does not open, th en the light will blink continuously after the 30 second
time period. It will blink continuously until the heater is reset.
Turn power OFF for 10 second to reset a lock out condition. The light will stop blinking after th e 10 second
time period. The heater cannot be restarted if the light is blinking continuously.
Thermostat Cycle
The heater thermostat will cycle the gas solenoid OFF when temperature is reached. The flame probe
should cool to a closed condition when this occurs. The thermostat will also cool to a closed condition with
a drop in plenum temperature. The thermostat closure is a call for heat and the normal start-up for the time
delay begins again.
A condition can occur where the thermostat can call for heat before the flame probe cools to a closed
condition. The light ON the time delay will flash once at thermostat closure and remain OFF until the flame
probe closes again. The heater will not operate until this “closed” condition of both switches
is achieved.

5. Operation
High-Low Heater Operation
1. High-Limit and cycling thermostat must be wired into heater control box for heater to operate.
2. Open all manual shut off valves to heater unit.
3. Start fan. This will supply power to heater.
4. Turn thermostat dial to its highest setting.
5. Turn toggle switch ON. Both lights should illuminate indicating power to the control circuit.
6. Heater should now be lit. If not check to see that all gas is ON.
7. Open adjustment screw on solenoid valve all the way.
8. Turn thermostat dial back slowly until heater cycles to low flame.
9. Adjust screw on solenoid valve so that low flame pressure is at desired setting. (As low as possible.)
10. Turn thermostat dial to desired setting and wait for bin plenum to come up to temperature. Heater
should cycle to low flame after a few minute.
11. If heater does not cycle to low flame increase high flame gas pressure by adjusting the regulator.
12. High flame should be adjusted so the heater cycles 75% of the time. Low flame should be adjusted
so there is enough flame for unit to keep operating.
13. Watch as burner goes through a few cycles, to be sure that it is operating properly back to
high flame.

5. Operation
Modulating Valve Operation
1. The modulating valve regulates gas flow through the heater ba sed on sensing unit in the plenum, and
maintains a constant drying air temperature.
2. The sensing bulb of the modulating valve should be mounted through the bin wall with the side
reading “top” up. The bulb reacts to temperature. It changes the amount of gas (increase or
decrease), burning warmer or cooler depending on the position of the valve SET POINT. If the bulb
is cooler than it was at the SET POINT, the bulb senses the cooler temperature and opens the valve
further so more heat is applied to the drying air. If the bulb is warmer than it was at the SET POINT,
the valve closes further and reduces the temperature until the air is at the valve SET POINT.
3. It is important that the pressure regulator be set high enough to allow the modulating valve to deliver
enough gas to maintain the plenum temperature necessary. The regulat or is normally factory set at
15 PSI (propane units). To set the regulator, run the heater and turn the modulating valve
T-handle in. This gets full line pressure to the burner. Then adjust regulator to read 15 PSI
(depending on the plenum temperature needed).
4. Turn the fan/heater ON. To set the modulating valve, turn the T-handle out (counterclockwise) until
loose and wait a few minute for the plenum temperature to equalize. When the temperature under
the bin has equalized, gradually turn T-handle in (clockwise) about 1/2 turn at a time. Wait until
temperature under bin has equalized as before. If temperature under bin is less than the desired
temperature, continue turning T-handle in, increasing gas flow and waiting for plenum temperature
to equalize until the desired temperature is the stable temperature of the plenum. If temperature
under bin is the same 10 minute after you last made any adjustments to the T-handle you can be
certain that the temperature under the bin is the SET POINT of the valve. 1 Turn of the T-handle
equals approximately 7°F of temperature.
5. The valve will now keep the plenum temperature at the set point regardless of ambient conditions
as long as humidistat or thermostat do not shut down the heate r. A bypass orifice is used to maintain
a small flame when outside temperature is near or above the set point of the valve. The bypass
ensures steady application of heat at minimum gas flow operation. Bypass orifice will only operate
correctly if pressure regulator is set correctly.
6. To observe how the modulating valve increases the efficiency of bin drying, check the gas pressure
of the unit in the morning and compare to the pressure read mid-afternoon. If the ambient (outside)
temperature is significantly greater later in the day (as normal), the ga s p r essure will be less. Sin ce
less heat is required to maintain the same temperature in the plenum, the modulating valve will have
reduced the amount of gas used by the heater.
PNEG-012 Vane Axial Heater21
5. Operation
Adjusting the Vaporizer
1. Vaporizer should be adjusted so the vapor pipe train runs warm to the touch (100°F-120°F).
2. Loosen 5/16" bolt on adjustment bracket.
3. Swivel vaporizer away from flame if running too hot, closer to flame if too cold.
4. Move vaporizer only 1" at a time and allow a few minute for temperature to equalize.
5. Tighten 5/16" bolt and watch heater run for several minute to verify adjustment.
