HAZARD INTENSITY LEVELS

1. DANGER: Failure to comply will result in severe personal injury or death and/or property damage.

2. WARNING: Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury or death and/or property damage.

3. CAUTION: Failure to comply could result in minor personal injury and/or property damage.

1. Installation Codes

The gas-fired unit heaters covered in this manual are design-certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) to ANSI Z83.8a and CGA

2.6a for industrial/commercial installations in the United States and Canada. All heaters are available for use with either natural or propane gas. The type of gas, the firing rate, and the electrical characteristics are on the unit rating plate.

These units must be installed in accordance with local building codes. In the absence of local codes, in the United States, the unit must be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code (latest edition). A Canadian installation must be in accordance with the CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment. These codes are available from CSA Information Services, 1-800-463-6727. Local authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installation to verify local codes and installation procedure requirements.

Special Installations (Aircraft Hangars/ Garages)

Installations in aircraft hangars should be in accordance with ANSI/ NFP A No. 409 (latest edition), Standard for Aircraft Hangars; in public garages in accordance with ANSI/NFPA No. 88A (latest edition), Standard for Parking Structures; and for repair garages in accordance with ANSI/NFPA No. 88B (latest edition), Standard for Repair Garages. ANSI/NFPA-88 (latest edition) specifies overhead heaters must be installed at least eight feet above the floor. In Canada, installations in aircraft hangars should be in accordance with the requirements of the enforcing authorities, and in public garages in accordance with CAN/ CGA B149 codes.

ANSI/NFP A 409 (latest edition) specifies a clearance of ten feet to the bottom of the heater from the highest surface of the top of the wing or engine enclosure of whatever aircraft would be the highest to be housed in the hangar, and a minimum clearance of eight feet from the floor in other sections of aircraft hangars, such as the offices, and shops which communicate with areas used for servicing or storage. The heaters must be located so as to be protected from damage by aircraft or other objects such as cranes and movable scaffolding. In addition, the heaters must be located so as to be accessible for servicing, adjustment, etc.

2. Warranty

Refer to limited warranty information on the warranty card in the "Owner's Envelope".

W ARRANTY: W arranty is void if......

a. Unit Heaters are used in atmospheres containing flammable

vapors or atmospheres containing chlorinated or halogenated hydrocarbons or airborne silicone substances.

b. Wiring is not in accordance with the diagram furnished with

the heater.

c. Unit is installed without proper clearances to combustible ma-

terials or located in a confined space without proper ventilation and air for combustion. (See Paragraphs 7 and 8.)

d. Fan-type unit heater is connected to a duct system.

3. Uncrating and Preparation

This unit was test operated and inspected at the factory prior to crating and was in operating condition. If the heater has incurred any damage in shipment, document the damage with the transporting agency and immediately contact your Reznor Distributor.

Check the rating plate for the gas specifications and electrical characteristics of the heater to be sure that they are compatible with the gas and electric supplies at the installation site. Read this booklet and become familiar with the installation requirements of your particular heater. If you do not have knowledge of local requirements, check with the local gas company or any other local agencies who might have requirements concerning this installation. Before beginning, make preparations for necessary supplies, tools, and manpower.

Check to see if there are any field-installed options that need to be assembled to the heater prior to installation. Each of the option packages includes a list of components and step-by-step instructions. For a brief description of optional hanger kits, refer to Paragraph 9. For a brief explanation of other frequently specified field-installed options, see Paragraphs 26-32. After becoming familiar with the instructions, assemble and install the options that are required for your heater.

If the heater was ordered with a vent cap, it will be shipped in a separate carton.

Unless the crate bottom has been removed for option installation, leave it attached until after the heater has been suspended. If the crate bottom has been removed, the bottom of the heater must be supported with plywood or appropriately placed boards. Without adequate support, the bottom access panel could be damaged.

To protect the unit during shipping, the blower model has special supports that must be removed before installation. Follow these instructions to remove:



Blower Support Legs -- Remove the two blower support legs and



screws.



Motor Shipping Block - Remove the wooden block located under the



motor bracket. Find the two rubber pads shipped in the instruction envelope. Place these pads on the ends of the motor bracket bolts.



Motor Shipping Plate -- Blower models that are equipped with mo-



tors of 3/4 HP or less have a metal shipping plate attached between the motor and the blower housing. Remove and discard the shipping plate. Note: On units factory equipped with an optional belt guard, the belt guard must be removed in order to reach the shipping plate.

5. High Altitude Operation

If the heater is being installed in an altitude above 2000 ft (610M), check the rating plate to determine what must be done to prepare the heater for high altitude operation.

NOTE: A heater equipped with a two-stage valve must be factorybuilt for high altitude installation.

Check the rating plate, determine which circumstance below applies, and follow the instructions.

• If the altitude range on the rating plate agrees with the altitude

at the site, no further action is required. Proceed with the installation.

• If the altitude range on the rating plate reads "Sea Level" and

the altitude at the site is between 2000 ft and 6000 ft (610M to 1830M) and the heater has a single-stage gas valve, install

the heater and follow the instructions in Paragraph 11 to derate by manifold gas pressure adjustment.

• If the altitude range on the rating plate reads "Sea Level" and

the altitude at the site is above 6000 ft (1830M) and the heater has a single-stage gas valve, in addition to adjusting the

manifold pressure, it will be necessary to replace the combustion air pressure switch. Order the listed below and replace the switch before suspending the heater.

After the heater is installed, follow the instructions in Paragraph 11 to derate by adjusting the manifold gas pressure.

High Altitude Combustion Air Pressure Switch

P/N Description 159180 #PPS10027-2733

Figure 2Pressure Switch Location (above 6000 ft, replace with a pressure switch set for high altitude operation)

6. Unit Heater Location

CAUTION: Avoid installing a unit heater in extremely drafty areas. Extreme drafts can shorten the life of the heat exchanger and/or cause safety problems.

For best results, the heater should be placed with certain rules in mind. In general, a unit should be located from 8 to 12 feet (2.4-3.7M) above the floor. Units should always be arranged to blow toward or along exposed wall surfaces, if possible. Where two or more units are installed in the same room, a general scheme of air circulation should be maintained for best results.

Suspended heaters are most effective when located as close to the working zone as possible, and this fact should be kept in mind when determining the mounting heights to be used. However, care should be exercised to avoid directing the discharged air directly on the room occupants.

Partitions, columns, counters, or other obstructions should be taken into consideration when locating the unit heater so that a minimum quantity of airflow will be deflected by such obstacles.

When units are located in the center of the space to be heated, the air should be discharged toward the exposed walls. In large areas, units should be located to discharge air along exposed walls with extra units provided to discharge air in toward the center of the area.

At those points where infiltration of cold air is excessive, such as at entrance doors and shipping doors, it is desirable to locate the unit so that it will discharge directly toward the source of cold air from a distance of 15 to 20 feet (4.6-6.1M).

Units should not be installed closer than 18 inches (457mm) from any wall.

CAUTION: Do not locate the heater where it may be exposed to water spray , rain or dripping water .

7. Clearances and Combustion Air

Units must be installed so that the following clearances are provided for combustion air space, service and inspection, and for proper spacing from combustible construction. Clearance to combustibles is defined as the minimum distance from the heater to a surface or object that is necessary to ensure that a surface temperature of 90°F above the surrounding ambient temperature is not exceeded.

Model Required Clearances (inches and mm) Size Top Flue Sides Bottom Rear

Collector

25-400 6"(152) 6"(152) 18"(457) 12"(305) * 24" (610)**

* When supplied with optional downturn nozzle, bottom clearance is

42"(1067mm). For service purposes, on standard units, bottom clearance exceeding minimum (12" or 305mm) is not required but may be desirable.

** For servicing purposes only, rear must remain full open. All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with the air that enters

into the combustion process and is then vented to the outdoors. Sufficient air must enter the equipment location to replace that exhausted through the heater vent system. In the past, the infiltration of outside air assumed in heat loss calculations (one air change per hour) was assumed to be sufficient. However, current construction methods utilizing more insulation, vapor barriers, tighter fitting and gasketed doors and windows or weather-stripping, and mechanical exhaust fans may now require the introduction of outside air through wall openings or ducts.

The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon whether the unit is located in a confined or unconfined space. An "unconfined space" is defined as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTUH of the installed appliance. Under all condi- tions, enough air must be provided to ensure there will not be a negative pressure condition within the equipment room or space. For specific requirements for confined space installation, see Paragraph 8.

W ARNING: These power -vented unit heaters are designed to take combustion air from the space in which the unit is installed and are not designed for connection to outside combustion air intake ducts. Connecting outside air ducts voids the warranty and could cause hazardous operation. See Hazard Levels, Page 2.

8. Combustion Air Requirement s for a Heater Located in a Confined Space

Do not install a unit in a confined space without providing wall openings leading to and from the space. Provide openings near the floor and ceiling for ventilation and air for combustion as shown in Figure 3, depending on the combustion air source as noted in Items 1, 2, and 3 below the illustration.

Figure 3 Confined Space: A space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTUH of the installed appliance input rating

Form RZ-NA-I-FE/BE, Mfg P/N 98807, Rev 10, Page 6

Add total BTUH of all appliances in the confined space and divide by figures below for square inch free area size of each (top and bottom) opening.

1. Air fr om inside the building -- openings 1 square inch free area per 1000 BTUH. Never less than 100 square inches free area for each opening. See (1) in Figure 3.

2. Air fr om outside thr ough duct -- openings 1 square inch free area per 2000 BTUH. See (2) in Figure 3.

3. Air dir ect from outside -- openings 1 square inch free area per 4000 BTUH. See (3) in Figure 3.

NOTE: For further details on supplying combustion air to a confined space, see the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1a (latest edition ).

9. Suspending the Heater

Before suspending the heater, check the supporting structure to be used to verify that it has sufficient load-carrying capacity to support the weight of the unit.

NOTE: If the installation includes an optional stepdown transformer kit (Option CF or CG), the stepdown transformer bracket is part of the heater suspension and must be installed prior to hanging the heater. Follow the instructions on the installation sheet included with the option kit.

A fan-type unit heater is equipped with standard two-point suspen- sion. A 3/8-16 threaded hanger bracket assembly is located on each side of the heater. If a fan-type unit has been ordered with optional, factoryinstalled, four-point suspension (Option BJ6), it will have two threaded hanger brackets on each side.

A blower-type heater is equipped with standard four-point suspen- sion. Two 3/8-16 threaded hanger bracket assemblies are located on each side of the unit. Each hanger bracket assembly is designed for threaded rod attachment.

For both "standard" and "optional" suspension point dimensions, see Dimension Tables in Paragraph 3. (Note: If installing Option CK19 hanger kit, suspension points change; see Figure 7.)

WARNING: Suspend the heater only from the threaded hanger brackets. Do not suspend from the heater side panel.

Figure 4 -

Suspension

When the heater is lifted for suspension, the bottom must be protected. If the wooden crate bottom has been removed, the bottom of the heater will have to be supported with plywood or other appropriately placed material. If the bottom is not supported, the bottom access panel could be damaged. Also, when lifting a blower unit, support the blower and motor to prevent the unit from tipping.

Page 8

All blower models have legs that support the blower assembly during shipping. After the unit is suspended, these legs should be removed.

Be sure that the threaded hanger rods are locked to the heater as shown in Figure 4.

WARNING: Unit must be level for proper operation. Do not place or add additional weight to the suspended heater. See Hazard Levels, page

If an optional downturn air nozzle is used, the unit must be suspended from four points to ensure level suspension. Two hanger brackets are included in the downturn option package and must be field-installed on fan-type units with standard two-point suspension. For additional information, refer to Paragraph 27 and the instructions that are furnished with the option package. When blower-type units are equipped with an optional blower/ filter cabinet, there are two suspension points on the blower cabinet hanger bar. Suspend a unit equipped with a blower/filter cabinet from four points, using the two heater hanger bracket assemblies closest to the front of the heater and the two suspension points on the blower/filter cabinet. If one of the optional, field-installed hanger kits has been ordered for your heater, it will have been shipped separately. Each option package includes a list of components and complete, step-by-step assembly instructions.

Optional, Field-Installed Hanger Kits:

1) Four-Point Suspension (fan models only) - Option CK7

This option kit is designed to convert a fan-type heater from standard two-point suspension to four-point suspension. The kit contains two additional hanger brackets.

2) Two-Point Swivel Connectors (fan models only) - Option CK8 (See Figure 5)

The purpose of this option kit is to adapt the standard hanger bracket so that the heater can be suspended from 1", threaded, stationary pipe. The swivel connector screws "into" the threaded hanger bracket on the heater and "onto" the 1" threaded pipe used for hanging the heater. The kit includes two swivel hanger connector assemblies and two lock washers.

Figure 5 - T woPoint Suspension with Swivel Connections (fan models only)

3) Four-Point with Swivel Connectors (fan-models only) - Option CK9 (See Figure 6)

This option package is designed to convert a fan-type heater from standard two-point suspension to four-point suspension with swivel connectors. By installing this kit the standard fan-type heater can be hung from four 1", threaded, stationary pipes. The kit includes two hanger bracket assemblies, four swivel hanger connector assemblies and four lock washers.

4) Four-Point Swivel Connectors - Option CK10 (See Figure 6)

10. V enting

These power-vented unit heaters are designed to operate safely and efficiently with either a horizontal or vertical vent. (Horizontal vent run is recommended for maximum fuel savings.)

W ARNING: Units installed in multiples r equire individual vent pipe runs and vent caps. Manifolding of vent runs is not permitted due to possible recirculation of combustion products into the building and possible back pressure effects on the combustion air proving switch.

Specific Venting Requirements (read all before installing)

1. Venter (Flue) Outlet Venter Outlet Size:

Model Size Outlet Diameter

25-100 4" 125-250 5" 300-400 6"

Venter Outlet Attachment Requirements:

• If the pipe used in the vent run is larger than the diameter of the venter outlet (See Vent Length Table 2), Make the transition at the venter outlet.

• A minimum of 12" (305mm) of straight pipe is required at the venter outlet (or transition fitting) before installing an elbow in the vent system. An elbow should never be attached directly to the venter. An elbow attached to the straight pipe can be in any position at or above horizontal. See Figure 8.

Figure 8 - Alternate V ent Dir ections (vent in any position above horizontal; minimum of 12" (305mm) of straight pipe is required before an elbow)

2. Vent Pipe

If installed with a horizontal vent run, use either vent pipe approved for a Category III heater or appropriately sealed 26-gauge galvanized steel or equivalent single-wall pipe. If at least half of the equivalent length of the vent system is vertical, vent pipe approved for a Category I heater may be used. Single-wall pipe or double-wall (Type B) vent pipe are suitable for use with a Category I heater. Use only one of the flue pipe diameters listed in the Vent Length Tables for the furnace size being installed.

2A. Vent Pipe Diameter Reduction

If at least half of the equivalent length of the vent system is vertical, the vent pipe diameter may be reduced one inch from the standard diameter listed in Vent Length Table 1. Only single-wall pipe is suitable for use when reducing the pipe diameter. A tapertype reducer must be used. The maximum allowable vent length remains the same. If required, double-wall pipe may be used at the terminal end as shown in Figures 9 and 10. (Use the equivalent length for elbows as shown in V ent Length T able 1 for the standard vent pipe diameter. All elbows used in the vent system must be considered.)

*Note 1: If the system contains all vertical pipe or a combination of horizontal and vertical vent pipe, the Maximum Permissible Vent Length shown in Tables 1 and 2 may be increased one foot for each foot vertical rise up to a maximum increase of 10 feet for Model sizes 25 thru 100 and up to 20 feet for Model sizes 125 thru 400.

**Reduce the maximum vent length by the amount indicated for each elbow.

4. Vent System Joints

Vent system joints depend on the installation and the type of pipe being used.

• If using single wall, 26-gauge or heavier galvanized pipe, secure slip-fit connections using sheet metal screws or rivets. Seal pipe joints either with tape suitable for 550°F (such as Option FA1, P/N 98266) or hightemperature silicone sealant.

• If using Category III vent pipe, follow pipe manufacturer's instructions for joining pipe sections. When attaching Category III pipe to the venter outlet or the vent cap, make secure, sealed joints following a procedure that best suits the style of Category III pipe being used.

• If using double-wall (Type B) vent pipe (allowed only if 1/2 of the equivalent vent length is vertical), follow pipe manufacturer's instructions for joining pipe sections. For joining double-wall pipe to the venter outlet collar, single-wall pipe, and/or the vent cap, follow the instructions below.

Page 10

Instructions for attaching double-wall (Type B) vent pipe to the venter outlet, a single-wall pipe run, or to the vent cap (use these instructions for either full length double-wall or terminal only):

Hardware and Sealant Required: 3/4" long sheetmetal screws; and a tube of silicone sealant

1) Look for the "flow" arrow on the vent pipe; attach according to the arrow. Slide the pipe so that the venter outlet, the single-wall pipe, or the vent cap is inside the double-wall pipe.

2) Drill a hole through the pipe into the outlet collar, the single-wall pipe, or the vent cap. (Hole should be slightly smaller than the sheet metal screw being used.) Using a 3/4" long sheet metal screw, attach the pipe. Do not overtighten. Repeat, drilling and inserting two additional screws evenly spaced (120° a part) around the pipe.

3) Use silicone sealant to seal any gaps. If there is an annular opening, run a large bead of sealant in the opening. The bead of sealant must be large enough to seal the opening, but it is not necessary to fill the full volume of the annular area.

5. Vent System Support

Support lateral runs every six feet, using a non-combustible material such as strap steel or chain. Do not rely on the heater for support of either horizontal or vertical vent pipe

Figure 9 - Horizontal Vent T erminals

6. Condensation

Single wall vent pipe exposed to cold air or run through unheated areas must be insulated. Where extreme conditions are anticipated, install a means of condensate disposal.

7. Vent Terminal (Pipe and Vent Cap)

The vent system must be terminated with a suitable vent cap that is the same size as the vent run. Heaters must be equipped with the heater manufacturer's vent cap, a Type L Breidert Air-x-hauster cap supplied by the pipe manufacturer is not permitted; the vent cap must be the type approved for use with this heater. A different style vent cap could cause nuisance problems or unsafe conditions. See the illustrations in Figures 9 and 10 for requirements of both vertical and horizontal vent termination. The vent terminal section may be either single-wall or double-wall (Type B) vent pipe. If double-wall pipe is used in the vent terminal with a single-wall vent run, follow the instructions in No. 4, Vent System Joints, to attach the vent cap and to connect the double-wall pipe to the single-wall vent pipe run.

11. Gas Piping and Pressures

WARNING

This appliance is equipped for a maximum gas supply pressure of 1/2 pound, 8 ounces, or 14 inches water column. Supply pressure higher than 1/2 pound requires installation of an additional service regulator external to the unit.

PRESSURE TESTING SUPPL Y PIPING

Test Pressures Above 1/2 PSI: Disconnect the heater and manual valve from the gas supply line which is to be tested. Cap or plug the supply line.

Test Pressures Below 1/2 PSI: Befor e testing, close the manual valve on the heater .

All piping must be in accordance with requirements outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI/Z223.1a (latest edition) or CAN/CGAB149.1 and B149.2 (See Paragraph 1). Gas supply piping installation should conform with good practice and with local codes.

Unit heaters for natural gas are orificed for operation with gas having a heating value of 1000 (+ or - 50) BTUH per cubic ft. If the gas at the installation does not meet this specification, consult the factory for proper orificing.

Pipe joint compounds (pipe dope) shall be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gas or any other chemical constituents of the gas being supplied.

Install a ground joint union and manual shut-off valve upstream of the unit control system, as shown in Figure 11. The 1/8" plugged tapping in the shut-off valve provides connection for supply line pressure test gauge. The National Fuel Gas Code requires the installation of a trap with a minimum 3" drip leg. Local codes may require a minimum drip leg longer than 3" (typically 6").

Gas connection sizes are included in the Dimensional Tables in Paragraph 3. After all connections are made, disconnect the pilot supply at the control valve and bleed the system of air. Reconnect the pilot line and leak-test all connections by brushing on a soap solution.

WARNING: All components of a gas supply system must be leak tested prior to placing equipment in service. NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME. Failure to comply could result in personal injury , property damage or death.

Manifold or Orifice Pressure Settings

Measuring manifold gas pressure cannot be done until the heater is in operation. It is included in the steps of the "Check-Test-Start" procedure in Paragraph 25. The following warnings and instructions apply .

WARNING: Manifold gas pressure must never exceed 3.5" w.c. for natural gas and 10" w.c. for propane gas.

For Natural Gas: When the heater leaves the factory , the combination

gas valve is set so that the manifold gas pressure is regulated to 3.5" w.c. Inlet supply pressure to the valve for natural gas must be a minimum of 5" w.c. or as noted on the rating plate and a maximum of 14" w.c.

For Propane Gas: When the heater leaves the factory , the combination gas valve is set so that the manifold gas pressure is regulated to 10" w.c.

N ote: When sizin g sup p ly lines, consider p ossibilities of future expans i on and increased requir e ments.

Refer to National Fuel Gas Code for additional information on line sizing.

Inlet supply pressure to the valve for propane gas must be a minimum of 11" w .c. and a maximum of 14" w.c.

Before attempting to measure or adjust manifold gas pressure, the inlet supply pressure must be within the specified range both when the heater is in operation and on standby. Incorrect inlet pressure could cause excessive manifold gas pressure immediately or at some future time. If natural gas supply pressure is too high, install a regulator in the supply line before it reaches the heater. If natural gas supply pressure is too low, contact your gas supplier.

Instructions on How to Check Manifold Pressure (can only be done after heater is installed):

1) With the manual valve positioned to prevent flow to the main burners, connect a manometer to the 1/8" pipe outlet pressure tap in the valve. NOTE: A manometer (fluid-filled gauge) is recommended rather than a spring type gauge due to the difficulty of maintaining calibration of a spring type gauge.

2) Open the valve and operate the heater . Measure the gas pressure to the manifold. Normally adjustments should not be necessary to the factory preset regulator. If adjustment is necessary, set pressure to correct settings by turning the regulator screw IN (clockwise) to increase pressure. Turn regulator screw OUT (counterclockwise) to decrease pressure.

If the heater is being installed above 2000 ft (610M) and it was determined in Paragraph 5 that derating by manifold pressure adjustment is permissible, follow the instructions below.

Instructions for Derating a Heater by Adjusting Manifold Pressure (The heater must have a single-stage gas valve and must be factory-equipped for sea level operation.)

1. Check the rating plate to be certain that the heater is equipped

for sea level operation. Do not attempt to derate by manifold gas pressure adjustment if the heater is factory equipped for high altitude. Do not attempt to adjust manifold pressure on heaters equipped with two stage gas valves.

2. Determine the required manifold pressure for the elevation where

the heater will be operating. If unsure of the elevation, contact the local gas supplier.

Manifold Pressure Settings by Elevation

Altitude Natural Gas Propane Gas

Feet Meters (inches W.C.) (inches W.C.)

0- 2000 1-610 3.5 10.0 2001-3000 911-915 2.8 7.7 3001-4000 916-1220 2.5 7.1 4001-5000 1221-1525 2.3 6.4 5001-6000 1526-1830 2.1 5.8 6001-7000 1831-2135 1.9 5.2 7001-8000 2136-2440 1.7 4.6

8001-9000 2441-2745 1.5 4.1

3. With the manual valve positioned to prevent flow to the main burners,

connect a manometer to the 1/8” pipe outlet pressure tap in the valve. Use a fluid-filled manometer that is readable to the nearest tenth of an inch w.c.

4. Remove the cap from the pressure adjusting screw and adjust the mani-

fold pressure to the pressure setting selected from the table. Cycle the main burners once or twice to properly seat the adjustment spring in the valve.

Re-check the pressure. If necessary, re-adjust the pressure. When the pressure is correct, remove the manometer and replace the cap. Check for leaks at the pressure tap fitting.

5. With the heater operating determine that the inlet pressure to the heater

for natural gas is between 5 and 14 inches w.c. and for propane between 10 and 14 inches w.c. Take this reading as close as possible to heater (Most heaters are now equipped with gas valves that have an inlet pressure tap.) If the inlet pressure is not within the specified range,

the inlet pressure must be corrected and Steps 3 and 4 repeated.

6. If altitude is above 6000 ft (1830M), verify that the pressure switch

has been changed.

7. Find the Manifold Pressure Adjustment label in the plastic bag that

contained these instructions. Using a permanent marker, fill-in the pressure setting. Adhere the label on the heater near the gas valve so that it is conspicuous to someone servicing the valve and /or heater.

12. Electrical Supply and Connections

All electrical wiring and connections, including electrical grounding MUST be made in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 (latest edition) or, in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I-C.S.A. Standard C22.1. In addition, the installer should be aware of any local ordinances or gas company requirements that might apply.

Check the rating plate on the heater for the supply voltage and current requirements. A separate line voltage supply with fused disconnect switch should be run directly from the main electrical panel to the heater. All external wiring must be within approved conduit and have a minimum temperature rise of 60°C. Conduit from the disconnect switch must be run so as not to interfere with the service panels of the heater.

The electrical supply connects at the top back of the heater in the left corner (left when facing the back of the heater). A threaded hole is provided for a standard 1/2" electrical fitting.

The wiring access panel is easily removed for field connections. Consult the wiring diagram supplied with your heater. Replace the panel after the wiring connections are made.

If the heater has field-installed options that require electrical connections, consult the instruction sheet and wiring diagram supplied in the option package.

Figure 12 - Electrical Connections

W ARNINGS: On a heater with a unit disconnect switch (Option AI-1), if the power is turned off at the switch, the supply lead in the electrical supply junction box (Figure 12) remains energized. If service is to be done in the supply junction box, turn off the power at the remote disconnect switch.

If you turn off the power supply , turn off the gas.

The operating sequence of the heater can be found on the heater wiring diagram and is published in Paragraph 25, Check Installation and StartUp. Typical wiring diagrams are on the next four pages, showing standard single-stage heating with spark pilot with and without lockout.

CAUTION: If any of the original wire as supplied with the appliance must be replaced, it must be

replaced with wiring material having a temperature rating of at least 105°C, except for limit control and sensor lead wires which must be 150°C. See Hazard Levels, page 2.

13. Thermostat and Thermostat

A thermostat is not standard equipment but is an installation requirement. Use either an optional thermostat available with the heater or a field-supplied thermostat. Install according to the thermostat manufacturer's instructions. Make sure that the heat anticipator setting on the thermostat is in accordance with the amperage value noted on the wiring diagram of your heater. Terminal Strip Connections - The standard heater is equipped with a two-screw terminal connector strip (See Figure 14) for easy connection to the low voltage controls (24V). When factory-installed options require two-stage thermostat control, the heater is equipped with a SPST relay and a four-screw terminal connector strip (See Figure 15). If your heater requires field installation of the four-screw terminal strip and the relay, follow the instructions packaged with the relay or thermostat option.

Form RZ-NA-I-FE/BE, Mfg P/N 98807, Rev 10, Page 12

A fan-type heater may be equipped with a built-in fused disconnect switch (Option AI-

1). If the heater is equipped with a built-in disconnect switch, a two-position toggle (on/off) switch is located near the electrical supply access panel (See Figures 12 and 13).

This switch may be used to disconnect the power when servicing the heater other than in the supply junction box.

Specific wiring diagrams that include standard and factory-installed options are included with the heater. Check the wiring diagram to identify optional equipment.

13. Thermostat Connections (cont'd)

There are some unique wiring requirements with the installation of the optional controls (relay and two-stage). Figure 16 illustrates the wiring of the relay and the connections required for optional thermostat control.

575/3/60

Figure 16 - Wiring Diagrams for Optional Controls

Multiple Heater Control - These unit heaters are not designed for multiple unit connection to one thermostat. If you require that more than one

unit be controlled by a single thermostat, it will be necessary to use relays in the circuit. Options CL31 and CL32 provide the necessary parts and instructions for multiple heater control. For more information on these options, see Paragraph 31.

14. Fan Motor

Fan motors are equipped with thermal overload protection of the automatic reset type. Should the motor refuse to run, it may be because of improper current characteristics. Make certain that the correct voltage is available at the motor.

NOTE: If the unit is equipped with an optional totally enclosed motor, the horsepower may be larger than the standard motor. Refer to the motor nameplate to verify horsepower.

15. Blower Motor

Blower Model Sizes 25-100 are standardly equipped with a direct drive motor; an optional belt drive motor is available on Sizes 50-100. Blower Model Sizes 125-400 have an adjustable belt drive motor.

As part of the Check/Test/Start (Paragraph 25), check the belt for proper tension. Proper belt tension is important to the long life of the belt and motor. A loose belt will cause wear and slippage. Too much tension will cause excessive motor and blower bearing wear. Adjust the belt tension by turning the adjusting screw on the motor base until the belt can be depressed 1/2-3/4" (13-19mm). (See Figure 17.) After cor rect tension is achieved, re-tighten the locknut on the adjusting screw.

Most blower motors are equipped with thermal overload protection of the automatic reset type. If a motor is not equipped with thermal overload protection, the unit will be equipped with a starter. The ad-

Figure 17 Adjusting Belt Tension

justable setting on the starter will be factory set to match the amp draw of the motor and sealed. No change should be made to starter set unless the original motor is replaced.

Starters are supplied from the factory for manual reset operation. If an overload condition is experienced, the condition must be corrected, and the starter must be manually reset.

After the installation is complete including all ductwork, the amp draw of the motor should be checked with an amp meter to verify that the motor amp rating on the motor nameplate is not being exceeded. Amps may be adjusted downward by reducing blower speed for by increasing the duct system static pressure. The temperature rise must be within the range specified on the unit rating plate.

3/4 (19mm)

Form RZ-NA-I-FE/BE, Mfg P/N 98807 Rev 10, Page 17

Page 19

16. Blower Speed Adjustment

The blower speed may be adjusted to achieve the desired outlet temperature, as long as the adjustment is within the temperature rise and the static pressure limits shown on the heater rating plate. Direct drive

motors are factory set as indicated in the chart below. Belt drive motors are factory set at the mid-point between maximum and mini-

mum blower speeds. If the duct resistance is low, the blower may deliver too high an air

volume; or if the heater is operated without ductwork, it may deliver sufficient excess air to overload the motor, causing the overload protector to cycle the motor. Reducing the blower speed will correct these conditions. If ductwork is added to an installation, it may be necessary to increase the blower speed. Decreasing blower speed will increase outlet temperature; increasing blower speed will decrease outlet temperature.

Blower Model Sizes 25-100 with Direct Drive

Direct drive blower motors have multi-speed taps for speed adjustment. If your installation requires an adjustment of the blower speed, the motor may be re-wired to an alternate tap by following these instructions.

1. Turn off the gas and the electric power.

2. Remove the left (left when facing the back of the unit) outer side panel of the heater to reveal the wiring connections.

3. Consult the wiring diagram on the heater and follow the below chart to choose the wire for the desired adjustment. The asterisk(*) indicates the factory-wired speed.

4. Cut the crimped cap from the end of the wire that you intend to use and strip the insulation.

5. Disconnect the factory-wired connection and re-wire, using the newly stripped wire.

6. Put a wire nut on the end of the blower motor wire that was disconnected.

7. Replace the heater side panel and turn on the gas and the electric.

Blower Model Sizes 50-400 with Belt Drive

The belt drive on these units is equipped with an adjustable pulley which permits adjustment of the blower speed. Follow these instructions to adjust the blower speed.

1. Turn off the gas and the electric power.

2. Loosen belt tension and remove the belt.

3. Loosen the set screw on the side of the pulley away from the motor.

4. To increase the blower speed, decreasing outlet temperature, turn the adjustable half of the pulley inward. To decrease the blower speed, increasing the outlet temperature, turn the adjustable half of the pulley outward. One turn of the pulley will change the speed 8-10%.

5. Tighten the set screw on the flat portion of the pulley shaft.

6. Replace the belt and adjust the belt tension. Adjust tension by turning the adjusting screw on the motor base until the belt can be depressed 1/2-3/4" (13-19mm). (See Figure 17.) Re-tighten the lock nut on the adjusting screw.

7. Turn on the gas and electric. Light the heater following the instructions on the lighting instruction plate.

8. Check the motor amps with an amp meter. The maximum motor amp rating on the motor nameplate must not be exceeded.

CAUTION: An external duct system static pressure not within the limits shown on the rating plate or improper adjustment of the motor pulley or belt may overload the motor .

17. Blower Rotation

Each blower housing is marked for proper rotation. Rotation may be changed on single-phase motors by re-wiring in the motor terminal box. Three-phase motors may be reversed by interchanging two wires on the 3-phase supply connections.

18. Fan Control

1. A fan control provides the following:

(a) Delay of fan or blower operation to prevent the discharge of

cold air.

(b) Fan or blower operation as long as the unit is hot.

2. The fan control provides additional safety by keeping the fan or blower in operation in the event that the gas valve fails to close when the thermostat is satisfied.

3. To be sure that the fan or blower can continue to operate, the power supply to the heater MUST NOT be interrupted except when servicing the unit.

4. If the customer wants the heater off at night, the gas valve circuit SHOULD BE OPENED by a single pole switch wired in series with the thermostat. Some thermostats are provided with this feature.

Multiple units controlled from a single thermostat are shut off in the

same manner. For proper operation, be sure the fan control wiring is observed.

W ARNING: If you turn off the power supply, turn off the gas. See Hazard Levels, page 2.

NOTE: Low ambient temperatures (less than 40°F) may cause false

cycling of the fan/blower. To prevent this, a time delay relay can be added to the unit (available with single-stage gas valve only) to activate the fan/blower electrically independent of the heat exchanger or the room temperature. The low ambient fan control relay can be factory installed; Option BF8 will appear on the heater wiring diagram. Or, the relay can be field installed; order Option CQ3 (P/N 113779). This relay is in addition to the fan control The fan control is a safety device and

should never be removed from the heater circuit.

19. Limit Control

All models are equipped with an automatic, non-adjustable reset limit control that acts to interrupt the electric supply to the redundant main operating valve in case of motor failure or lack of airflow due to restrictions at the inlet or outlet.

Form RZ-NA-I-FE/BE, Mfg P/N 98807, Rev 10, Page 18

Page 20

20. Combustion Air Proving Switch

The combustion air proving switch is a pressure sensitive switch that monitors air pressure to ensure that proper combustion air flow is available. The switch is a single pole - normally open - device which closes when a decreasing pressure is sensed in the outlet duct of the flue gas collection box.

On start-up when the heater is cold, the sensing pressure is at the most negative level, and as the heater and flue system warm up, the sensing pressure becomes less negative. After the system has reached equilibrium (about 20 minutes), the sensing pressure levels off.

If a restriction or excessive flue length or turns cause the sensing pressure to become less than the switch setpoint, the pressure switch will function to shut off the main burners. The main burners will remain off until the system has cooled and/or the flue system resistance is reduced. The T able on the right lists the approximate water column negative pressure readings and switch setpoints for sea level operating conditions.

DANGER: Safe operation of this unit requires proper venting flow . NEVER bypass combustion air proving switch or attempt to operate the unit without the venter running and the proper flow in the vent system. Hazardous conditions could result. See Hazard Levels, page 2.

as a conduction path to ground. The pilot flame rectifies and completes the DC circuit. The ignition controller acknowledges the flame and energizes the main gas valve.)

23. Burners

These unit heaters have individually formed steel burners with accurately die-formed ports to give controlled flame stability without lifting or flashback with either natural or propane gas. The burners are lightweight and factory mounted in an assembly which permits them to be removed as a unit for inspection or service.

24. Burner Air Adjustment

All sizes of these unit heaters that are equipped with standard aluminized burners are designed to operate without burner air shutters when fueled with either natural or propane gas. However, Sizes 165 through 400 equipped with optional stainless steel burners (Option AD2) require air shutters (Option AE1) when used with propane gas (Option AA2).

Optional air shutters, either factory or field installed, are available for any size model for use where unusual conditions cause excess primary aeration.

Before making any adjustments to the air shutters, allow the heater to operate for about fifteen minutes. The air shutter adjustment screws can be reached by opening the bottom panel. (Remove the two screws located at the rear of the bottom panel and allow the panel to hinge down from the front.) The adjustment screws for the air shutters are visible at the rear of the burner rack. See Figure 18.

Figure 18 - Air Shutter Adjustment Screws -- Alternate T urning Screws When Adjusting Shutter

21. Gas Valve

Main operating valve is powered by the 24-volt control circuit through thermostat and safety controls. The main control valve is of the diaphragm type with magnetic pilot servo bleed operators, providing regulated gas flow preset at the factory. The valve body also incorporates a magnetic valve providing pilot gas control for the electronic ignitor system and redundant or dual valve safety shutoff function.

WARNING: The operating valve is the prime safety shutoff. All gas supply lines must be free of dirt or scale before connecting the unit to ensure positive closure. See Hazard Levels, page 2.

22. Pilot and Ignition System

These unit heaters are equipped with a spark ignited intermittent safety pilot system that shuts off the pilot gas flow between heat cycles. In addition, propane units are equipped with a spark pilot system that incorporates a lockout device that stops the gas flow to the pilot if the pilot fails to light in 120 seconds. The spark pilot with 100% lockout requires manual reset by interruption of the thermostat circuit. Propane units require the lockout; natural gas units may be equipped with either standard spark pilot or spark pilot with lockout (Option AH3). Refer to the wiring diagram with your heater for pilot system identification and proper wiring.

The ignition controller in the spark pilot system provides the high voltage spark to ignite the pilot gas and also acts as the flame safety device. After ignition of the pilot gas, the control electronically senses the pilot flame. (A separate solid metal probe in the pilot burner assembly is employed for the flame sensing function. A low voltage electrical signal is imposed on that metal probe which is electrically isolated from ground. When the pilot flame impinges on the flame sensing probe, the flame acts

When making the adjustment, close the air shutters no more than is necessary to eliminate the problem condition.

Observe the flame for yellow-tipping. A limited amount of yellowtipping is permissible for liquefied petroleum gases. Other fuels should not display any yellow-tipping.

T wo adjustment screws are used (See Figure 18). Rotating the screws clockwise closes the shutters, reducing the primary air supply. Counterclockwise rotation opens the shutters, increasing the primary air supply. The two adjustment screws should be rotated alternately to open or close the shutters. Attempting to gain adjustment by not alternating between the two screws may cause the shutters to bind.

After proper adjustment has been completed, eliminating the problem condition, close the bottom panel and replace the retaining screws.

DANGER: Failure to install and/or adjust air shutters according to directions could cause property damage, personal injury , and or death.

25. Check Installation and St art-Up

Check the installation prior to start-up: 5. Thermostat calls for heat, energizing the venter motor.

 Check suspension. Unit must be secure and level.  Blower Model - Check to be sure that all shipping supports

have been removed. Rubber feet must be on the motor bracket bolts. See Paragraph 3.

 Check clearances from combustibles. Requirements are shown

in Paragraph 7.

 Check vent system to be sure that it is installed according to

the instructions in Paragraph 10.

 Check piping for leaks and proper gas line pressure. Bleed

gas lines of trapped air. See paragraph 1 1.

 Check electrical wiring. Be sure all wire gauges are as recom-

mended. A service disconnect switch should be used. Verify that fusing or circuit breakers are adequate for the load use.

 Check that any field-installed options have been included in

the installation.

 Blower Model - Check belt tension. See Paragraph 15.

Start-Up -- Typical Operating Sequence:

1. Set thermostat at lowest setting. 2 . Turn on main and pilot manual gas valves.

3. Turn on the power to the unit.

4. Set the thermostat to desired setting.

6 . V enter pressure switch closes, firing the unit, after pilot prov-

ing sequence.

7. Fan control senses heat exchanger temperature, energizing the fan or blower motor.

8 . If the flame is extinguished during the main burner operation,

the safety switch closes the main valve and recycles the spark gap.

On units equipped with lockout device, if the pilot is not

established within 120 seconds, the unit locks out and must be reset by interrupting power to the control circuit. (See lighting instructions on the heater.)

Check installation after start-up:

 With the unit in operation, measure manifold gas pressure.

See Paragraph 11.

 Turn the unit off and on, pausing two minutes between each

cycle. Observe for smooth ignition.

 Blower Model - Check motor amps with an amp meter. The

maximum amp rating on the motor nameplate must not be exceeded.

 Place 'Owner's Envelope" containing Limited W arranty Card,

this booklet, and any optional information in an accessible location near the heater. Follow the instructions on the envelope.

DANGER: The gas burner in this gas-fired equipment is designed and equipped to provide safe and economically controlled complete combustion. However , if the installation does not permit the burner to receive the proper supply of combustion air , complete combustion may not occur . The result is incomplete combustion which produces carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can cause death. Safe operation of indirect-fired gas burning equipment requires a properly operating vent system which vents all flue products to the outside atmosphere. F AILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTING WILL RESUL T IN A HEALTH HAZARD WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEA TH.

Always comply with the combustion air requirements in the installation codes and in Paragraphs 7 and 8. Combustion air at the burner should be regulated only by manufactur er-pr ovided equipment. NEVER RESTRICT OR OTHERWISE AL TER THE SUPPL Y OF COMBUSTION AIR TO ANY HEATER. Indoor units installed in a confined space must be supplied with air for combustion as required by Code and in Paragraph 8 of this heater installation manual.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: If you turn off the power supply, turn off the gas. See Hazard Levels, page 2.

This unit will operate with a minimum of maintenance. To ensure long life and satisfactory performance, a heater that is operated under normal conditions should be inspected and cleaned at the start of each heating season. If the heater is operating in an area where an unusual amount of dust or soot or other impurities are present in the air, more frequent maintenance is recommended.

The following procedures should be carried out at least annually (See Paragraphs 33-42 for specific instructions.):

1. Clean all dirt and grease from the primary and secondary combus-

tion air openings.

2. Fan Models - Clean the fan blade, fan guard, and motor.

3. Blower Models - Clean the blower, the belt guard, the inlet guard,

and motor of all dirt and grease. Check the blower belt for tension and wear. Replace a worn belt that may fail before the next scheduled maintenance check.

4. Clean the heat exchanger both internally and externally.

5. Check the pilot burner and main burners for scale, dust, or lint accumulation. Clean as needed.

38. Fan or Blower (cont'd)

On blower models, remove the grease and dirt from the blower housing and check the belt for wear and proper tension (See Paragraph 15.)

Lubricate if the motor has oil cups or grease fittings. The motor supplied as standard has lifetime lubrication and sleeve bearings.

On blower models, check current draw to motor rating plate. Fan Models: Follow these instructions for replacement of the fan

guard, fan motor or fan blades.

1. If the heater is installed, turn off the gas and disconnect the electric power.

2. Remove the left outer side panel (left when facing the rear of the unit). Disconnect the fan motor wires.

3. Depending on the date that the heater was manufactured, it will have either a lower-half fan guard only, two-piece full fan guard, or a onepiece full fan guard. If the unit has a two piece fan guard, remove the tension mounted upper half fan guard and the four screws that hold the lower half. If the unit has a one-piece fan guard, remove all of the screws that retain the fan guard. Remove the assembled parts (the fan guard, the motor and the fan blade).

4. Disassemble and replace whatever parts are needed and reassemble using whatever part(s) are being replaced and the original parts. If the fan guard is being replaced, it is important that the same hardware be used for attaching the motor to the fan guard as was used with the original guard. These screws are especially made to cut through the coating on the fan guard to provide adequate grounding for the motor.

Position the assembly on the heater. Attach the fan guard at the center mounts. (IMPORTANT: If replacing the fan guard, use the screws that held the original fan guard. These specially designed screws will cut through the coating on the fan guard to provide a ground for the fan motor.)
