Installation & Operation Radiant Infrared Heater Heat Controller
INTRODUCTION
Heat Controller’s infrared heater produces radiant heat that warms people and objects
rather than the air surrounding them. The heater can be mounted on a wall or ceiling,
and adjustable brackets allow the heat to be directed where desired.
This heater is designed for outdoor commercial use only.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING: To assure safe operation, installa-
tion must be done by a certied electrician and
must adhere to local, state and national electrical
codes.
Use a certied ground fault protection device for
wet environment installations.
1. Supply voltage must correspond to the voltage
indicated on unit’s rating plate.
2. The cord from each terminal box must be hard
wired and properly grounded.
WARNING: Each power supply circuit must be
provided with a means of disconnection, and the
disconnecting means must be grouped.

WALLS
WALL-MOUNTED INSTALLATION
WARNING: Observe minimum clearances shown
in chart above.
1. Securely fasten the L-shaped brackets to the
mounting surface using both of the xing holes in
the short part of the bracket. NOTE: Wall bolts are
not supplied: select an appropriate size to provide
adequate support for the weight of the unit and
taking into consideration any wind load conditions.
CAUTION: If there is any question about security
of bolts and xings, contact a professional contractor.
2. Mount the heater to the brackets with the terminal
box at the bottom of the heater.
3. Adjust the heater to the desired directional angle,
then x in this position by tightening the xing
bolts on the brackets at the rear of the heater.
CAUTION: Do not position the heater at an angle
greater than 50° or less than 30°.
4. Secure the electrical supply cable so it does not
come in contact with the heater body or obstruct the
air vents. Follow local and national electrical code
requirements.
CEILING-MOUNTED INSTALLATION
WARNING: Observe minimum clearances shown
in chart at left.
1. Heater should be hung using non-exible mounting brackets (not supplied). Select brackets that
will maintain a minimum clearance of 1' 8" (.51 m)
from the ceiling.
2. Bolts and xings (not supplied) should be of an appropriate size to provide adequate support for the
weight of the unit and any additional load resulting
from wind conditions.
CAUTION: If there is any question about security
of bolts and xings, contact a professional con-
tractor.
3. Secure the heater to the mounting brackets with
the heater facing directly down.
4. Secure the electrical supply cable so it does not
come in contact with the heater body or obstruct
the air vents. Follow local NEC code requirements.
ADJUSTING DIRECTIONAL POSITIONING
WARNING! Never attempt to move heater while it
is operating. Personal injury could result.
1. Power to the heater from the main supply must be
OFF to adjust the position. (Turn off circuit breaker.)
2. Allow the heater to cool before re-positioning the
angle.
3. Loosen the xing bolts on the brackets at the rear
of the heater; re-position heater as desired, then
re-tighten the xing bolts.
CAUTION: Do not position the heater at an angle
greater than 50° or less than 30°.

MAINTENANCE
There are only two maintenance procedures which
can be done on location: cleaning the unit and
replacing the emitter. Return the heater to an authorized service faciity for any other electrical or
mechanical adjustment or repair, including replacement of a damaged power cord.
Should the heater be dropped or damaged, or malfunction at any time, immediately turn off the main
power source and do not use heater until it has been
examined by an authorized service facility.
CLEANING
To remove dust or dirt on the reector, follow these
steps:
1. Turn the power switch OFF and disconnect heater
from the main power supply.
2. Remove the wire guard and carefully wipe the
reector with a soft, lint-free cloth.
CAUTION: Do not touch the emitter. Finger marks
will burn into the quartz emitter during use and
cause premature heater failture.
If emitter is inadvertently touched, or if it needs to be
cleaned, carefully wipe it using rubbing alcohol or
methylated spirits.
REPLACING EMITTER
Contact your distributor for the correct replacement
emitter, providing the model number and rating from
the rating label. Not using an exact replacement
emiitter can cause the heater to fail.
IMPORTANT: Read through the emitter replacement
procedure below before beginning the replacement.
CAUTION: Do not touch emitter with bare hands.
Wearing soft cotton gloves is highly recommended.
1. Turn OFF power switch and disconnect from main
power supply (circuit breaker).
2. Be sure the heater and emitter are cool: burns can
result from touching hot components.
3. Remove the screws from the end of the heater
xture and remove the aluminum end cap.
4. Carefully slide the perforated front grille immediately adjacent to the end cap off the end of the unit.
5. Carefully slide the protective grille to the end of
the heater to expose the emitter and silicone sealing connectors.
6. Carefully remove the emitter and silicone wire
connectors from the aluminum emitter clips, freeing the wire/connector system.
7. Carefully remove the silicone terminal connectors from the ends of the emitter. Be careful not to
break the emitter terminal end inside the silicone
wire connector. Discard the used emitter.
8. Holding the new emitter by the ceramic ends OR
wearing clean dry gloves, place the silicone terminal connectors onto the new emitter and re-clip it
into the emitter holder.
9. Carefully slide the protective grille and perforated
end cap into place, and replace screws.
