OWNER / INSTALLER: For your safety this manual must be carefully and thoroughly read and understood before
installing, operating or servicing this heater. This heater is intended for use with either Natural Gas or Propane
Gas. It must be installed by a qualified service person or a licensed contractor in accordance with state and local
codes.
▲WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage,
injury or death. Read the installation, operation and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or
servicing this equipment. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency or
the gas supplier.
INSPECT all combustion air openings into the building and, if necessary, clear if they become blocked by dust.
FOR YOUR SAFETY: If the heater is installed without a flue, exhaust fans MUST be operating on an appropriate
cycle when heaters are operating to avoid a high concentration of carbon monoxide. When used without fresh
air, this heater may give off carbon monoxide, an odorless and poisonous gas. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
MAY LEAD TO DEATH. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flue with headaches, dizziness and
nausea. If you experience these signs, GET FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY! Have the heaters serviced as soon as
possible and check the ventilation in the house.
These heaters are designed for agricultural applications and may operate with the use of either Natural Gas or
Liquid Propane (LP) Gas. Check the heater’s nameplate to determine the correct gas type before proceeding

y
This heater is a self-contained infrared radiant tube heater. Safety information required during installation and
operation of this heater is provided in this manual and the labels on the product. The installation, service and
maintenance of this heater must be performed by a contractor qualified in the installation and service of gas
fired heating equipment.
All personnel in contact with the heater must read and understand all safety information, instructions and labels
before operation. The following symbols will be used in this manual to indicate important safety information.
Warning instructions must be followed to prevent or avoid hazards which
may cause serious injury, property damage or death.
Caution instructions must be followed to prevent incorrect operation or
installation of the heater which may cause minor injury or propert
damage.
2.0) INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
The installer is responsible for the following:
•The heater and venting, as well as electrical and gas supplies must be installed in accordance with these
installation instructions and any applicable codes and regulations.
•Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit
access to the heater.
• Each installer must follow the clearances to combustible materials for the heaters.
• Install the heater so that the supports and hangers are correctly spaced in accordance with these
instructions. The heater must be supported by materials having a working load limit of at least 52kg.
• Supply the owner with a copy of these Installation and Operation Instructions.
• Never use the heater as a support for a ladder or other access equipment. Do not hang anything from the
heater.
• Supply all installation materials necessary that are not included with the heater.
• Check the nameplate to make sure that the burner is correct for the gas type in the building.
3.0) GENERAL INFORMATION
This heater is a self-contained infrared radiant tube heater designed for use where flammable gases or vapors
are not generally present.
Installation of this heater must be in accordance with all applicable codes shown in the instructions and/or the
local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. In the UK all equipment must be installed and maintained in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Regulations 1998 for gas fired
products. Installation practices must take into account the Health and Safety at Works Act 1974 or relevant
codes of practice. In addition the installation must be carried out in accordance with the current IEE wiring
regulations (BS 7671:2001), BS 6896:2005 (Industrial & Commercial) and any other relevant British Standards
and Codes of Practice by a qualified installer. All external wiring MUST comply with the current IEE wiring
regulations.
Clearances to combustibles as outlined in the manual should always be observed. In areas used for storage of
combustible materials where they may be stacked below the heater, the installer must post signs that will
“specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to
combustibles.”
Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access
to the control housing. Each installer shall use skillful and reliable installation practices when locating the
heaters and must give consideration to service accessibility.
This heater is for INDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY and is used in VENTED or UNVENTED mode. The term Unvented
actually means Indirect Vented. While the products of combustion are expelled into the building, national codes
require ventilation in the building to dilute these products of combustion. This ventilation must be provided by
gravity or mechanical means. Ventilation requirements are addressed further in these instructions.
Although these heaters may be used in many applications other than space heating (e.g., process heating),
Powrmatic will not recognize the warranty for any use other than space heating.

This heater is not an explosion proof heater. Where the possibility of exposure to volatile and low flash point
materials exists, it could result in property damage or death. This heater must not be installed in a spray booth
where the heater can operate during the spraying process. Consult your local fire marshal or insurance company.
Linear Configuration Series Only: Since linear configuration tube heaters are always hotter at the control end
than at the flue terminal end, always observe the minimum recommended mounting heights.

4.0) MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
Combustible material must be located outside the
clearance dimensions listed.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or
property damage.
Minimum clearances to combustibles shall be measured from the outer surfaces as shown in the following
diagram:
▲WARNING: Certain materials or objects, when stored under the heater, will be subjected to radiant heat and
could be seriously damaged. Observe the Minimum Clearances to Combustibles listed in the manual and on the
heater at all times.
NOTE:
1. The clearances specified above must be maintained to combustibles and other materials that may be
damaged by temperatures 50ºC above ambient temperature. Clearances to combustibles are posted on the
control box. In areas used for storage of combustible materials where they may be stacked below the heater,
NFPA54 requires that the installer must post signs that will “specify the maximum permissible stacking height
to maintain the required clearances from the heater to combustibles.” Powrmatic recommends posting these
signs adjacent to the heater thermostat or other suitable location that will provide enhanced visibility.
2. The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 50 ºC above room temperature.
Building materials with a low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply, etc.) may be subject to
degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure that adjacent materials are
protected from degradation.

9.0) TYPICAL SUSPENSION METHODS
Not withstanding their limited scope, the appliance should be installed in accordance with the relevant
provisions of any National Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations. Due account should also be taken of
any obligations arising from any National Heath and Safety at Work Regulations, National and Local Building
Regulations and National Electrical Wiring Regulations. The appliance must be installed, and where necessary,
converted for use on other gases, by a qualified installer.
Burner must be secured to the mounting flange with nuts.
SUSPENSION HAZARD
All materials used to suspend the heater must have a minimum working load
of 52kg.
All S Hooks must be crimped closed.
Never use the heater to support a ladder or other access equipment.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or property damage.
Various means of suspending the heater can be used. See the following drawings for typical examples.
a. Use only noncombustible materials for suspending hangers and brackets.
b. Linear Tube Heaters should be suspended to provide a slope of 0.25 degree up to the fan (25 to 50mm). The
appliance should be located with respect to building construction and other equipment to permit access to
the appliance for servicing etc.
c. U-Tube Heaters should be suspended horizontally along the length.
d. Turnbuckles can be used with chains to allow leveling of the heater. All “S” hooks and eye bolts must be
manually crimped closed by the installer.
e. For suspending the appliance it is recommended that suitable protected welded chain (Ø 3mm x 65 links
per m) or Ø 8mm min mild steel drop rods and suitable brackets are used. Attach the chains or drop rods to
the hanger brackets where shown providing at least Ø5mm closed link hooks are used chains may be
attached directly to the hanger brackets.
f. Heaters subject to vibration must be provided with vibration isolating hangers.
g. Heaters must not be supported by gas or electric supply lines and must be suspended from a permanent
structure with adequate load capacity.
h. Hanging points are fixed along the length of heater to accommodate trim pieces. Secondary steel work may
be required to span between supporting beams.
i. The appliance should be located with respect to building construction and other equipment to permit access
to the appliance for servicing etc.
Powrmatic recommends that the body sections be suspended using chains with turnbuckles. This will allow
slight adjustments after assembly and heater expansion/ contraction during operation.
If a “trapeze” method is used for tube support/hanger brackets (shown below), the minimum chain length for the
two connecting chains is 914 mm to minimize any vibration that might be generated by the draft inducer
assembly. If these chains must be less than 914 mm, then do not use the trapeze method and, instead, use
individual chains on each tube support/hanger bracket.
IMPORTANT: When U-Tube Heaters are angle mounted (see Fig 18) the fan should be assembled to the higher of
the two emitter tubes as shown.
1. The burner box must be supported with a welded chain after overall heater suspe nsion is complete. This is
to prevent burner from sagging which may cause th e tube to burn tube out prematurel y. Assemble bracket
and turnbuckle to inlet end of burner as shown.

to level control.
Level
Lights must face down.
2. Adjust the turnbuckle until control box is level. Use a leveling device to verify.
Failure to install the burner box suspension
chain vertically will void the manufacturers
warranty.
Linear heaters must be angled up from
the burner box. Failure to do so may
result in overheating of internal
components resulting in equipment
failure.

10.0) TYPICAL HEATER ASSEMBLY
CUT HAZARD
Sheet metal parts, particularly reflectors and vent have sharp
edges. Always use gloves when handling.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or property
damage.
See heater dimensions and assembly overview (Sections 7.0 through 8.1) for each U-model and Linear model
configurations.
During field assembly of the heater body sections, the recommended procedure is as follows:
1. Determine the actual layout of the system first before hanging heater sections. Consideration must also be
taken for flue pipe, fresh air ducting, gas piping, clearances to combustibles, etc. before hanging heater.
2. Install the heater suspension using chains or other type methods outlined in Section 9 “Typical Suspension
Methods”. Space these per the assembly overview for each heater.
3. Space two (2) tube support/hanger brackets at distances indicated in each assembly overview for the first
tube section. Note: The distances are measured from center of the slotted holes of each support/hanger
bracket.
4. Place tubes over these brackets with the welded seam facing down toward the ground. Failure to assemble
the tube with the seam facing down will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Secure the tubes to each
support/hanger bracket using U-bolt clamps and 5/16-18 nuts provided.
5. Raise the tube section up to the suspension chain (or other methods), using “S” hooks to attach the tube
support brackets. Hang each tube section individually. DO NOT assemble all of the heater tube sections
together on the ground and attempt to hang the entire system. Provide a slope of 0.25 degree up to the fan
on linear tube heaters.
6. Continue to pre-assemble and hang each additional section as before. Join each section together using
Torctite couplings as described in Section 10.1 “Tube Coupling Details”.
7. Insert turbulators (where required) into the tube sections as shown in Section 10.2 “Inserting Turbulators”.
8. Place U-bend (U-model heaters only) as shown in Section 10.3 “Attaching U-Bend”.
9. Place main body reflector panels over each of the tube support/hanger brackets installed above.
10. Attach burner box and fan assembly as shown in Sections 10.4 and 10.5 respectively.

11. Slide reflector panels and space between burner box and U-bend (U-model heaters only) as indicated on
heater dimension drawings. Reflectors must overlap approximately as shown on the dimension drawings.
12. Secure reflectors to tube support/hanger brackets using the screws and clamps (supplied in fastening kits).
Note: Refer to details A or B of each assembly overview drawing for the required open or closed positions of
the clamps. These positions enable reflectors to side or remain stationary during operation of heater.
13. Place end reflector panels flush to each end of main heater reflector panels and secure by spacing two (2) U-
type speed clips (supplied in fastening kits) evenly on edges of each reflector flange.
14. Make all final gas and electric connections as outlined later in the instructions.
15. Affix user instruction label adjacent to controls. See section 9.2.
Failure to assemble the tube with the seam facing down will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
10.1) TUBE COUPLING DETAILS
Join the tube sections together and secure with tube couplings as described below. Note: The heater tube section
should be provided a slope of 0.25 degree up to the fan.
The following coupling tightening instructions MUST be
followed properly to ensure the integrity of the tube
connections. Two #10 self-drilling screws MUST be installed
at every coupling as shown in the instructions below. Failure
to do so may result in serious injury or property damage.
a. Place the compression coupling over the end of the tube.

11.0) GAS CONNECTIONS AND REGULATIONS
Tighten flexible gas hose and components securely.
Flexible metal gas hoses must be installed without any twists or
kinks in them. The hose will move during operation of the heater
and it can crack if it is twisted.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or property
damage.
IMPORTANT BEFORE CONNECTING THE GAS TO THE HEATER
a. Connect to the supply tank or manifold in accordance with state or local building codes. Authorities having
jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation is made.
b. Check that the gas fuel on the burner rating plate matches the fuel for the application.
c. Check that the gas supply piping has the capacity for the total gas consumption of the heaters and any other
equipment connected to the line.
d. Check that the calculated supply pressure with all gas appliances and heaters operating will not drop below
the minimum supply pressure required for these heaters. See Table 11a Below.
e. All gas supply lines must be located in accordance with the required clearances to combustibles from the
heater as listed on the clearances label of the heater and (Section 4.0) of this manual.
f. Pipe joint compounds must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
g. Tube heaters will expand/contract during operation. Use an approved flexible connector for connections
between the rigid piping and the heater. A union should be installed before the control box inlet. An
approved shut off valve should be installed within 1.8m of the union.
h. The gas pipe, flexible hose and connections must be self supporting. The gas pipe work must not bear any of
the weight of the heater or any other suspended assembly.

i. This appliance is equipped with a step-opening, combination gas valve. The maximum supply pressure to the
appliance is 60 mbar. If the line pressure is more than the maximum supply pressure, then a second stage
regulator which corresponds to the supply pressure must be used.
j. After all gas connections have been made, make sure the heater and all gas outlets are turned off before
the main gas supply is turned on slowly. Turn the gas supply pressure on and check for leaks.
k. If a 2nd stage regulator is used, the ball valve down stream in the supply line must be closed when purging
the gas lines to prevent gas seeping through it. If initial gas pressure is higher than 60 mbar the redundant
combination gas valve is designed to lock out. Pressure build-up in the supply lines prior to the heater must
be released before proper heater operation.
Do not use an open flame of any kind to test for leaks.

14.0) VENTING AND FRESH AIR FOR COMBUSTION
POISONOUS GAS AND SOOT HAZARD
Heaters installed unvented must be installed in an area with at
least 10m
In buildings with airborne contamination such as poultry houses the heater
must be installed with fresh air for combustion.
Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury, property damage or illness
from Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
These appliances may be installed with an exhaust flue fitted or without an exhaust flue fitted.
A. FLUELESS (UNFLUED)
The installation room should have a volume of at least 10m³/kw of installed nominal heat input of the radiant
heater.
The ventilation requirements and calculation methods for unflued appliances are set out in the European
Standards EN 13410:2001 and must be applied. The following is guidance to the standard:
Ventilation may be achieved by any of the three following different means:
a) Thermal evacuation of the products of combustion/air mixture
b) Mechanical evacuation of the products of combustion/air mixture
c) Natural air change
VENTILATION BY THERMAL EVACUATION
a. Ventilation by thermal evacuation is sufficient if 10m³/h of exhaust air per kW of operating heat input are
ventilated out of the installation room.
b. The air/products of combustion mixture must be evacuated above the radiant heaters, if possible near the
ridge, by means of exhaust mixture opening(s), (vents).
c. Where the exhaust mixture opening(s) can be closed, it shall only possible to operate the radiant heaters
when they are open.
d. The maximum horizontal distance between a radiant heater and a vent opening shall be:
6 (six) times the vent height in the case of wall openings
3 (three) times the vent height in the case of roof openings
3
/ hr per kW heat input of outside air ventilation.
VENTILATION BY MECHANICAL EVACUATION
a. Ventilation by mechanical evacuation is sufficient if 10m³/h of exhaust air per kW of operating heat input
are ventilated out of the installation room.
b. The air/products of combustion mixture must be evacuated above the radiant heaters using fan(s).
c. It shall only be possible to operate the radiant heaters whilst the exhaust airflow is proven.
d. The maximum horizontal distance between a radiant heater and a fan shall be:
6 (six) times the fan mounting height in the case of wall openings
3 (three) times the fan mounting height in the case of roof openings
e. Total minimum proven ventilation airflow in m³/h will be:
Total installed kW input X 10
Note: Mechanical exhaust air openings must be positioned such that the burner stability of the nearest
appliance is unaffected.

corrections, the following checks, using a multi-meter must be made.
1. Earth continuity check
2. Polarity check
3. Resistance to earth check
The contractor shall check the following during periodic maintenance.
•Clearances to combustibles: Check that clearances are being maintained. Make sure there are no
flammable objects, liquids or vapors near the heater. See also Section 4.0).
•Reflectors: Reflectors should be kept clean, at a minimum blow off the reflectors. (Dirty reflectors will
reduce heat output).
•Heat exchanger tubes: Inspect the heat exchanger tubes to make sure they are not cracked, sagging or
showing signs of fatigue.
•Combustion air intake: Disconnect combustion air intake from the control box and inspect internally using a
flashlight to make sure no foreign material has collected in the tubes and that there is no obstruction
around the air intake openings. Clean any foreign materials. Inspect any joints to make sure they are
completely sealed. See also Section 14.
•Venting System: Disconnect vent pipe and inspect internally using a flashlight to make sure no foreign
material has collected in the pipes. Check the external vent cap and make sure that there is no obstruction
around the exhaust openings. Clean any foreign materials. Inspect any joints to make sure they are
completely sealed. See also Section 14.
•Gas lines: Make sure that the gas lines are not leaking. Check the gas connection to the heater for any signs
of damage, fatigue or corrosion. If there are any signs of damage to the gas connection or leaks found in the
gas piping, immediately stop using the heater until the gas pipe and connections have been repaired or
replaced. Check that the gas lines are not bearing the weight of the heater. See also Section 11.
•Burner Box: In order to extend the longevity of the heater, the heat exchanger tube and the burner must be
level. Check that the burner box is level; use the turnbuckle on the burner suspension eyebolt to adjust the
level of the burner. See also Section 9.1.
•Blower wheel and housing: Check that the blower wheel spins freely, blow out any dust or dirt with
compressed air.
•Electrode condition: Visually check that the electrode gap is maintained at 3.5mm and that the tips of the
flame sensor and spark electrode are free from deposits. Clean off any deposits. Check that the electrode
ceramic is free from cracks. See Section 19.1.
•Suspension system: Check that the suspension system is holding the heater level. Make sure that the heater
is hanging securely, look for any evidence where the heater may have been hit accidentally and tighten any
loose hanging points. Check that S hooks are closed. Check that there is no evidence of wear on the chain at
the connection to the heater and at the ceiling.

Control Box side panel and the Air Inlet flange, are clear from obstructions. Check also, that the wire mesh
panel of the Air Inlet is clean. Clean as necessary using a soft brush. In the case of an appliance having a
ducted air supply, it will be necessary to disconnect the flexible ducting from the Air Inlet by first releasing
the hose clip. If it is necessary to remove the Air Inlet to adequately clean the Baffle Plate it will be
necessary to replace the gasket seal (see Section 19.8.
•Door Seal: Check the condition of the seal around the Control Box door and replace as necessary.
IMPORTANT: The appliance will not function unless the seal around the control box door is sound and the
door secured with the two toggle latches.
•Flue Pipes: For flued appliances it is important that periodic sweeping of the flue is carried out according to
the National or Local regulations in force.
•Auxiliary Controls: Room thermostats, time switches, frost thermostats etc should be checked to ensure
correct functioning, and are set to the user requirements.
