2.0 Safety • Clearances to Combustibles
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’s thermostat or in a conspicuous
location.
The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90°F (50°C) 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.
WARNING
Failure to comply with the stated clearances to combustibles may result
in personal injury, property damage, and/or death.

3.0 Installation
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause
property damage, serious injury, or death.
Read and understand, the installation, operation, and maintenance instructions
thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
Only trained, qualied gas installation and service personnel may install or service this
equipment.
Design Considerations and Prechecks
Placement of infrared heaters is inuenced by many factors. All installation manuals, along with national,
state, provincial, and local codes, address these issues. It is critical that you read, understand, and follow
all guidelines and instructions.
To ensure a properly designed heating system, a layout should be developed for the correct placement
of the burner control box, tubes, and reectors. Inspect and evaluate the mounting conditions, gas
supply, and wiring.
When designing an infrared radiant heating system for a patio, consider the following:
• What expectations does the end user have for coverage and comfort level of the space?
• Does the design meet the needs of the space?
• Have recommended mounting heights been observed?
• Have all clearances to combustible situations been observed?
• Is the supply (burner) end of the heater located where more heat is required?
• Is it best to oset the heaters?
IMPORTANT: Fire sprinkler heads must be located at an appropriate distance from the heater. This
distance may exceed the published clearances to combustibles as posted on the heater. Certain
applications may require the use of high temperature sprinkler heads or relocation of the heaters.
Sprinkler systems containing propylene glycol or other ammable substances are not to be used in
conjunction with this heater without careful consideration for and avoidance of potential re or
explosion hazards. For further information consult NFPA 13.
The comfort level of a person or space may be diminished with wind velocities above 5 mph. The use of
adequate wind barrier(s) may be required (see page 18).

Gas Supply Installation Instructions
The gas supply to the unit heater must be connected and tested in accordance with national, state,
provincial, and local codes along with guidelines in this manual. In the United States refer to the latest
edition of the ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA54) Standard.
Supply gas piping to the unit should conform with the local and national requirements for type and
volume of gas handled, and pressure drop allowed in the line. Avoid pipe sizes smaller than 1/2”.
WARNING
Improperly connected gas lines may result in serious injury and death,
explosion, poisonous fumes, toxic gases, or asphyxiation. Connect gas lines
in accordance to national, state, provincial, and local codes.
Gas pressure to the appliance controls must never exceed ½” PSI (14” W.C.). Damage to the controls
may result.
CAUTION
Gas lines should be purged of air as described in ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) or CSA-B149.1– latest
version. Installation of the piping must also conform with the local building codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54).
NOTICE
The total input to the appliance must fall within +/- 5% of the rated input as indicated on the
rating plate. Otherwise the heat exchanger may prematurely fail.
IMPORTANT! Before connecting the gas supply to the burner control box:
• Verify that the heater’s gas type (as listed on the rating plate) matches that of your application and
the installation complies with national and local codes and requirements of the local gas company.
• Unless otherwise noted on the rating plate, this infrared heater is designed and oriced to operate
on standard BTU gas. Contact the factory if utilizing non-standard BTU gas.
• Check that the gas piping and service has the capacity to handle the total gas consumption of all
heaters being installed, as well as any other gas appliances being connected to the supply line.
• Check that the main gas supply line is of proper diameter to supply the required fuel pressures.

4.0 Operation • Sequence of Operation
HL2-DS Series
4.0 Operation
Sequence of Operation
Standby: The circuit board continually checks for internal faults, circuit integrity, and relay contact
positioning.
Starting Circuit: Upon a call for heat, the control veries that the dierential switch is in the proper
position (open). The control energizes the fan. Once operational static pressure is achieved, the
dierential switch will close initiating the ignition sequence. The glo-bar is powered and the gas
valve opens after 45 seconds. If the ame is not sensed, the heater will attempt to re-ignite for a
total of three (3) trials for ignition before proceeding to soft lockout.
Low Fire Running Circuit: After ignition, the ame rod monitors burner ame. If sense of ame is lost,
the control closes the gas valve within one second and a new trial sequence (identical to the
starting sequence) is initiated. If ame sense is not established within 8.5 seconds, the heater will
attempt two (2) additional ignition sequences before proceeding to soft lockout. The control can
be reset by briey interrupting the power source.
High Fire Running Circuit: The second stage on the gas valve is powered directly from the second
stage of the thermostat. In order for two stage to ow to a higher output, single stage must be
energized as well. The thermostat determines which stage to maintain for the desired
temperature.
Shut Down: When the thermostat is satised, the fan will enter a two (2) minute post-purge cycle.

Lockout:
The controls will automatically lockout the heater system when an external or system fault occurs. There
are two types of lockout:
Soft Lockout: The heater will attempt to light three times. In the event of a failed attempt to light, (gas
pressure, valve, no ame sense, etc.), the heater will enter a Soft Lockout period for 30
minutes and then attempt to light three more times before entering Hard Lockout
mode.
Hard Lockout: If proof of ame is not established, a component failure occurs, or blockages are
evident, the heater will enter Hard Lockout. If lockout occurs, the control can be reset
by briey interrupting the power source. Refer to Chart 4.1 below for a description of
LED codes.

6.0 Maintenance
WARNING
Personal injury or death may result if maintenance is not performed by properly
trained gas installer or service personnel. Contact the installing distributor or place
of purchase for service. Do not operate heating system if repairs are necessary.
Allow heater to cool prior to servicing.
Disconnect power to heater before servicing.
Use protective glasses when maintaining the heater.
Routine Maintenance and Inspection:
At least once per year, the heating system should be inspected and serviced by trained gas
installation and service personnel only. This inspection should be performed at the beginning of the
heating season to ensure that all heater components are in proper working order and that the heating
system operates at peak performance. Particular attention should be paid to the following items.
• Clearances to Combustibles: Inspect the area near the unit to be sure there is no combustible
material located within the minimum clearance requirements listed in this manual. Under no
circumstances should combustible material be located within the clearances specied in this
manual. Failure to provide proper clearance could result in personal injury or equipment damage
from re.
• Gas Connection: Inspect the integrity of the gas connection to the heater. Check for leaks,
damage, fatigue or corrosion. Do not operate if repairs are necessary and turn o gas supply to
the heater. Contact service personnel.
To check gas tightness of the safety shut-o valves, turn o the manual valve upstream of the appliance
combination control. Remove the hex head plug on the inlet side of the combination control and
connect a manometer to that tapping.
Turn the manual valve on the apply pressure to the combination control. Note the pressure reading on
the manometer, then turn the valve o. Any loss of pressure indicates a leak. If leak is detected, use a
soap solution to check all threaded connection. If no leak is found, combination control is faulty and
must be replaced before putting appliance back in service.
• Blower Motor: Annual oiling of the blower motor with SAE 20 oil will extend bearing life
signicantly. Ensure that the squirrel cage in the blower is kept clean. If dirt becomes a
problem, installation of outside air intake ducts for combustion is recommended.
Check lubrication instructions on motor. If oiling is required, add three or four drop of SAE 20
electric motor oil.
• After three years or 25,000 hour (for light-duty operation).
• Annually after three years or 8,000 hours (for medium-duty operation).
• Annually after one year or 1,500 hours (for heavy-duty operation).
Never over-oil the motor or premature failure may occur.

• Heat exchangers: Check the integrity of the heat exchangers. Replace if there are signs of
structural failure. Check for corrosion and/or buildup within the tube exchanger passageways.
• Burner: Check for proper ignition, burner ame and ame sense. Flame should extend directly
outward from burner without oating or lifting.
• Wiring: Check electrical connections for tightness and/or corrosion. Check wires for damage.
• Gas Connection: Inspect the integrity of the gas connection to the heater. Check for leaks,
damage, fatigue or corrosion. Do not operate if repairs are necessary and turn o gas supply to
the heater. Contact service personnel.
• Reector: To maintain eective infrared heating, always keep both sides of the reector clean.
Maintenance can vary signicantly depending on the environment. Dirt and dust can be
vacuumed or wiped with a soap and water solution. Use metal polish if the reectors are severely
dirty.
Contact service personnel if repairs are necessary. Do not operate unit.
