For complete installation instructions, see the Tube Heater General Manual
that accompanies this insert manual.
The DX3 Series Infrared Tube Heater is a positive pressure, single-stage radiant heater system. This
insert manual is a supplement to the Tube Heater General Manual and provides specific information
related to the DX3 Series model. All persons involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of
the heater system must read and understand the information in this insert manual and the accompanying
Tube Heater General Manual.
For Your Safety
If you smell gas:
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.
This heater must be installed and serviced by trained gas installation and service
personnel only. Failure to comply could result in personal injury, asphyxiation, death,
fire or property damage.
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 thermostats or in the absence of such thermostats, in a conspicuous location.
Not for residential use! Do not use this heater in the home, sleeping quarters,
attached garages, etc. Installation of a commercial tube heater system in residential
indoor spaces may result in property damage, serious injury, asphyxiation or death.
• Do not try to light any appliance. • Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.
• Do not touch any electrical switch. • Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• Do not use any phone in your building. • If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
INSTALLER: Present this manual to the end user.
Keep these instructions in a clean and dry place for future reference.

WARNING
Radiant Tube (s)
Placement of explosive objects, flammable objects, liquids and vapors close to
the heater may result in explosion, fire, property damage, serious injury or death.
Clearance to combustibles is defined as the minimum distance that must exist between the tube surface,
or reflector, and any combustible items (see Figure 1.1). It also pertains to the distance that must be
maintained from moving objects around the tube heater. When installing the tube heater system, clearances
to combustibles for the model tube heater and configuration must be maintained. Refer to Chart 1.1 to
determine the required distances for your model.
Do not store or use explosive objects, liquids or vapor in the vicinity of the heater.

3.0 Operation
WARNING
This heater must be installed and serviced by trained gas installation and service
personnel only.
Do not bypass any safety features or the heater’s built in safety mechanisms will be
compromised.
Note: Reference the Tube Heater General Manual for installation requirements.
Sequence of Operation
Starting Circuit: Upon a call for heat, the fan is energized. Once operational static pressure is achieved,
the differential switch will close initiating the ignition sequence. After a 5-second delay, the glo-bar is
energized for 45 seconds and the control allows the gas valve to open.
The trial for ignition is 8 seconds. If flame sense is not established within 8.5 seconds, the heater will
attempt two (2) additional ignition sequences before proceeding to soft lockout. Soft lockout
automatically retries after one (1) hour or the control can be reset by briefly interrupting the power
source.
Running Circuit: After ignition, the flame rod monitors burner flame. If sense of flame is lost, the control
immediately acts to reignite the gas-air mixture (identical to the starting sequence). If flame 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 briefly interrupting the power source.
Thermostat
NOTE: Different thermostats operate according to their particular features. Refer to thermostat
specifications for details. Refer to Figure 2.1 for field wiring diagrams.
DX3 Series heaters with 24VAO option require a 24VAC, single-stage thermostat to operate. The burner
control box is equipped with a round terminal strip that accepts two (2) 1/4” female spade terminals. Do
not supply 120VAC to the 24VAC connection.

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 flame sense etc.), the heater will enter a soft lockout period for 15
minutes and then attempt to light three more times before entering Hard Lockout mode.
Hard Lockout : If proof of flame 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 briefly
interrupting the power source. Refer to Chart 3.1 below for a description of LED codes.

The externally located operational indicator lights are provided to assist in troubleshooting of the heater.
