2.1 Wall Tag
A laminated wall tag is included with the heater as a
permanent reminder of the safety instructions and the importance of the required clearances to combustibles. Affix the tag by peeling off the backing of the adhesive strips on the rear surface and position the tag on a wall near the heater.
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91040033) is illustrated
on the back cover. Know your model number and installed
configuration. Model number and installed configuration are found on the heater serial plate and throughout the Installation, Operation and Service Manual.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in product damage.
Rapid Engineering LLC cannot be responsible for ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the sub-contractor, or the owner identifies the presence of combustible materials, corrosive chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere in the premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical compounds characterized by the presence of halogen ele­ments (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the life span of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An out­side air supply must be provided to the burners whenever the presence of these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be invalid if the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes
All equipment must be installed in accordance with the latest revision of the applicable standards and national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas and venting installation. Note: Additional standards for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars, etc. may be applicable. See Page 8, Section 5.

4' (1.2 m) horizontally from, or 1' (.3 m) above any door, operable window, or gravity air inlet into any building.
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision, National Fuel Gas Code specifies a 4' (1.2 m) horizontal vent terminal clearance from gas and electric meters,
10 of 59
regulators and relief equipment.
7.1.2 Canadian Requirements
The vent shall not terminate within 6' (1.8 m) of a mechanical air supply inlet to any building.
The vent shall not terminate within 3' (.9 m) of a window or door that can be opened in any building, any non-mechanical air supply inlet to any building, or of the combustion air inlet of any other piece of equipment.
7.2 Vent Installation
Maintain clearances to combustibles at all times for safety. Clearances are the required distances that combustible objects must be away from the heater to prevent serious fire hazard. See Page 7, Figure 3. For vented units, the vent must terminate outside of the building.
Vents must be fully sealed and correctly sized for the model. If the vent passes through a wall or ceiling of combustible material, it must be enclosed by a listed thimble and be separated from the thimble by at least a 2" (5 cm) air gap.
For separated combustion models, vents and air intakes must be a fully sealed system and correctly sized for the model. Vent should be assembled as detailed on Page 12, Figure 5 through Page 16, Figure 10. The joints between the vent terminal and the roof or wall must be properly sealed. If the vent passes through a wall or ceiling of combustible material, it must be enclosed by a listed thimble and be separated from the thimble by at least a 2" (5 cm) air gap.
Vents and air intakes must be adequately
supported so that the heater does not bear the weight of the pipes.
For vent termination See Page 12, Figure 5 through Page 16, Figure 10.
7.2.1 Standard Vented Heaters (Models UHA[T][M][X] 150-400)
The vent must be fitted with a low resistance
terminal. See Page 12, Figure 5 through Page 14, Figure 7. Standard vented heaters do not allow outdoor air intake for combustion air.
7.2.2 Separated Combustion Heaters (Models UHA[T][M][X]S 150-400)
The heaters are designed to be installed as
separated combustion heaters. The vent and air intake are run as separate pipes to the wall or roof terminals. See Page 15, Figure 8. As an option, the vent and air intake are run as separate pipes to a
Page 19
concentric vent box and a concentric vent/air intake pipe penetrates the wall or roof. See Page 15, Figure 9 and Page 16, Figure 10.
For separated combustion installation, the vent and air intake must be fitted with an individual and correctly sized sealed system and the vent and air intake must terminate at approved wall and roof terminals. Separated combustion units may not be common vented.
SECTION 7: VENTING
Completely seal all joints, refer to Page 10, Section
7. 2 . If penetrating a combustible wall or roof, a listed thimble with 2" (5 cm) clearance must be used. Where local codes permit, a single section of type B-1 vent material may be used at the roof or wall penetration instead of a thimble. Ensure vent manufacturer's clearance from vent material is maintained. Seal annular space of the type B-1 vent as well as all joints in the remaining vent.
7.3 Horizontal Venting
Horizontally vented heaters must be individually vented, no common venting.
Vent pipe must be sloped ¼" (.6 cm) for every 1' (.3
m). In noncombustible walls only, vent terminal (P/N 02537801-1P) may be used.
For 4'' (10 cm) vents in either combustible or noncombustible walls, use vent terminal (P/N
90502100) or equivalent insulated vent terminal. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
Instead of an insulated vent terminal, a listed thimble with 2" (5 cm) air gap, may be used with a 4" (10 cm) vent cap (P/N 90502102).
7.4 Vertical Venting
Vertically vented standard vented heaters can be
common vented (up to 4 heaters).
Vent pipe must be sloped 1/4'' (.6 cm) for every
1' (.3 m). For 4'' (10 cm) common vent, an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502102) must be used. For 6'' (15 cm) common vent, an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502103) must be used. For common vertical venting of more than two
heaters, See Page 14, Figure 7.
A vent shall not extend less than 2' (.6m) above the
highest point where it passes through a flat roof of a building.

7.7 Replacing an Existing Heater in a Venting System
When replacing an existing heater in a venting system, the venting system may not be properly sized to vent the new heater. The following steps must be followed with each piece of equipment connected to the venting system placed in operation, while any other equipment connected to the venting system are not in operation.
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required by the NFPA 54/ ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision, National Fuel Gas Code (US) or Standard CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (Canada) and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. Close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the piece(s) of equipment connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts so that they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
4. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the equipment being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so that the equipment will operate continuously.
5. For any equipment having a draft hood, test for draft hood equipment spillage at the draft hood relief opening after five minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
6. After it has been determined that each piece(s) of equipment connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace

NOTE: Low fire burner pressure is set at factory and not field adjustable. (modulating)
NOTE: If the correct burner pressure cannot be reached, then check the inlet pressure to the valve with the burner firing. See Technical Data Table on Page 56, Section 16.3 and Page 58, Section 16.6 for inlet pressure requirement.
Do not continue to adjust the regulator if the pressure is not changing.
If the inlet pressure is too low to allow correct burner pressure setting, then the gas inlet pressure must be corrected before completing the start-up.
11.2.2.4 Check Gas Rate (Single and Two Stage)
1. After burner pressure adjustment, allow the heater to operate for at least 15 minutes and then re-check settings. Adjust pressure setting if necessary.
2. Check gas flow rate at gas meter. NOTE: For two stage valve (High/Low operation) check gas flow in both operating modes.
3. Turn off heater and electrical supply.
4. Remove the manometer and refit all covers to the valve and tighten the screw of the outlet pressure tap.
11.2.2.5 Check Gas Rate (Modulating)
1. After burner pressure adjustment, allow heater to operate for at least 15 minutes and then re­check settings. Adjust pressure setting if neces­sary.
2. Check high/low fire gas flow rate at gas meter. To place heater into high fire, disconnect modulating thermostats signal and apply 10 VDC to modulating input connections.
3. To place heater into low fire, disconnect 10 VDC from modulating input connections.
4. Turn off heater and electrical supply.

DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electric before service.
Heater must be connected to a properly grounded electrical source.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, electric shock, injury or property damage.
The UHA[T][M][X][S] Series heaters are fully
automatic and operate from the external controls fitted on site.
12.1 Heater Operation
When the heater has been switched on by the
thermostat installed on site, the main burner will automatically turn on.
The burner control box will control the safe ignition
of the flame. If equiped with two stage gas valve, the heater may
start in low or high fire. If equiped with a modulating gas valve, heater will
start at firing rate called for by modulating thermostat. Heater will continue to run at firing rate called for by thermostat, with 10 VDC being maximum rate and 0 VDC being minimum rate. ON/OFF control is provided by thermostat R and W connections. See Page 21, Figure 10.2.
All heaters require a constant gas and electricity
supply which must not be interrupted during the normal operation of this heater.
12.2 Lighting Instructions
12.2.1 To Turn On Heater
1. Ensure that the electrical and gas supplies to the heater are on. Check that the on site controls are "ON".
IMPORTANT: The thermostat setting must be above the ambient temperature for the heater to operate.
2. The automatic firing sequence will begin as described on Page 30, Figure 12. The heater will now operate automatically under the control of the on site controls.
12.2.2 To Turn Heater Off
Set the thermostat to the "OFF" position.
Explosion Hazard
Turn off gas supply to heater before service.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Allow heater to cool before service.
Tubing may still be hot after operation.
The burner will turn off immediately. The fan will continue to run for 90 seconds. To restart, turn the thermostat on or above room
temperature.
12.3 Simple Troubleshooting
Some possible reasons for the heater not operating are:
1. Gas supply not "ON".
2. Electricity supply not "ON".
3. The time and/or temperature controls are not "ON".
4. A limit switch may have operated. This may be caused by an interruption of the electrical supply, failure of the distribution fan or vent or heat exchanger blockage.
If a temperature limit switch persistently trips, there is a fault which must be investigated by a contractor qualified in the installation and service of gas-fired heating equipment.
12.3.1 Simple Troubleshooting (Burner Fault)
If the burner fails to ignite for any reason, it will retry for ignition (four trials total). After four unsuccessful ignition trials, the control will put the heater into lockout for one hour.
Lockout should not occur during normal operation of the heater and indicates there is a fault condition which must be corrected. There is an LED light on the ignition control that flashes codes to assist in fault correction. See Page 36, Figure 16 for LED indication codes.
Cut/Pinch Hazard
Wear protective gear during installation, operation and service.
Edges are sharp.
