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.
Dimension includes a 3/4" flange on the rear of the blower
cabinet.

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.

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.
ModelRequired Clearances (inches and mm)
SizeTopFlueSidesBottomRear
* 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 allcondi-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.

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

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.
Net Weight (lbs and kg)
ModelSize
Type25 50 75 100 125 165 200 250 300 400
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
2.
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/filtercabinet, 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.
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.
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.

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 SizeOutlet Diameter
25-1004"
125-2505"
300-4006"
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.

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.

Capacity of Piping
Specific Gravity for Natural Gas -- 0.6 (Nat ur al Gas -- 1000 BTU/Cubic Ft)
Specific Gravity f or Propane Gas -- 1.6 (Propane Gas -- 255 0 BTU/Cubic Ft)
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.
Derating by Manifold Pressure Adjustment
for High Altitude Operation
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.
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.
Form RZ-NA-I-FE/BE, Mfg P/N 98807 Rev 10, Page 11

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.

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.

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 thesupply 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.
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

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 theblower 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.

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

slave units) with a single thermostat or a time clock and
single/multiple thermostats.
For maximum safety, the multiple control is one in the
low voltage circuit. These multiple heater control options may not be used with two-stage gas valves.
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.

grease deposits.
CAUTION: Eye protection is recommended.
The inner surfaces of the heat exchanger can be reached for cleaning
with the burner rack removed. (See Paragraph 33.) Cleaning can be done
with a long furnace brush or a heavy wire to which steel wool has been
attached. Brush up and down inside each heat exchanger tube until all
foreign material is removed. A flashlight is helpful in examining the
upper section of the tube.
38. Fan or Blower
Remove dirt and grease from the motor.
On fan model units, remove dirt and grease from the fan guard and
blades. Use care when cleaning the fan blades to prevent causing misalignment or imbalance. Check that the hub of the fan blades is secure to
the shaft.

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.)
Rotate the fan blade to check for adequate clearance. If adjustment is
required, loosen the mounting screws, re-position the fan guard, and
tighten the screws. Rotate the fan blade and re-check for adequate
clearance. Repeat this procedure until the assembly is positioned prop-

40. V enter Motor
Remove dirt and grease from the motor housing. Power venter motor is
permanently lubricated.
The vent relay controls the venter motor. If the relay contacts fail to
close the venter motor will not run. If the relay contacts fail to open, the
venter motor will not shut off, preventing the combustion air pressure
switch from opening.
41. Operating Gas V alve
The gas valve requires no field maintenance except careful removal of
external dirt accumulation and checking of wiring connections. Instructions for testing pressure settings are in Paragraph 11.
WARNING: The operating valve is the prime
safety shutoff. All gas supply lines must be free of
dirt or scale before connecting to the unit to ensure
positive closure. See Hazard Levels, page 2.
42. Fan and Limit Controls
If it is determined that the fan or limit control needs replacing, use only
factory-authorized replacement parts that are designed for your heater.
Instructions for replacing fan or limit control:
1. Turn off the electric power and shut off the gas supply.
2. Remove the outer left side panel (left when facing the back of the
unit). Remove the access panel. (See Figure 38.)
3. Remove defective controls and install new controls in the same
mounting holes. Use only factory-authorized replacement parts.
4. Replace access panel and side panel.
5. Turn on the electric power and the gas supply.
6. Relight following the lighting instructions on the heater.

blade is in proper
position on the
shaft. Position the
fan as shown in
Figure 37 according to the chart on
the right.
erly.
5. If necessary, drill the required upper and lower fan guard mounting
holes. Attach the fan guard at all upper and lower mounting points
using either the screws removed or field-installed sheet metal screws.
6. Reconnect the fan motor wires and replace the outer side panel.
7. Restore power to the heater and turn on the gas. Light, following the
instructions on the lighting instruction plate. Check for proper operation.
