1.1 Basic Information
The instructions in this manual apply to Model
LCSC-3E gas-fired/fan-assisted warm air
heaters. These models have an axial fan for air
delivery. These heaters are designed for
overhead suspension and are suitable for indoor
installation only installed at an operation
ambient temperature between -15°C and 45°C.
When installed as a type C12/C32 and where
LCSC-3E--EN 2/40
the height above floor level is greater than 1.8
meters measured to the underside of the
appliance they may be used as a garage air
heater. This appliance must be installed in
accordance with the rules in force. Before
installation, check that the local distribution
conditions, nature of gas and pressure and
adjustment of the appliance are compatible. A
permanent electricity supply of 230 volts, 50 Hz,
single phase is required.
Heaters are approved for:
Type C12 horizontal vent for balanced-flue
heaters;
Type C32 vertical vent for balanced-flue
heaters;
Type B 22 vertical vent;
When the external control calls for heat, an
electronic control begins the ignition sequence
to provide for a safe start..
About 30 seconds after the call for heat, the fan
will begin circulating warm air. The electronic
control will supervise the flame during the entire
heating cycle to ensure safe operation.
When the required room temperature is
reached, the main burner will shut down leaving
the fan running to cool down the heat
exchanger. After approximately 45 seconds, the
fan delay relay will turn off the fan.
1.2 Warranty: Warranty is void if:
a) LCSC-3E heaters are installed in atmospheres containing flammable vapors or atmospheres
containing chlorinated or halogenated hydrocarbons or atmospheres containing any silicone,
aluminum oxide, etc., that adheres to spark ignition flame sensing probes.

installed in accordance with the rules in force
and by appropriately qualified persons.
Failure to install appliances correctly could
lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest
and that of safety to ensure compliance with
the law.
3.2 Heater location
The location chosen for the air heater must
permit the provision of a satisfactory flue
system venting to outdoor atmosphere and
adequately ventilated to provide for
combustion air. The location must also
provide sufficient space to allow the heater to
be serviced.

Where air heaters are located in the center of
the space to be heated, the air should be
discharged toward outside walls. In large
areas, they should be located to discharge
air along outside walls with additional
heaters provided to blow air into the center of
the area.
In places where infiltration of cold is
excessive, such as entrance doors it is
desirable to locate a heater so that warm air
is discharged directly toward the source of
cold air from a distance of 4,5 - 6,0m
Air heaters should not be installed in
corrosive atmospheres, i.e. near
plating or degreasing plants or in
areas where there is a fire risk.
Do not locate the air heater where it
may be exposed to water spray, rain,
etc.
3.3 Combustion air supply & flue
system
The air heater may be installed as a
balanced flue (Type C) heater requiring both
a combustion air inlet duct and a flue pipe or
as a power vented (Type B) heater, which
requires only a flue pipe exhausting to
outdoors. All products of combustion must be
flued to outdoor atmosphere.
Figure 2a: Combustion air and flue pipe sockets
Air heaters should, where ever possible
always be installed to blow toward or along
external wall surfaces. Where two or more air
heaters are installed in the same room, a
general scheme to ensure continuous air
circulation should be maintained for best
results. Suspended heaters are most
effective when located as close to the
occupancy zone as possible, this fact should
be born in mind when determining the
mounting heights to be used. Care should be
exercised to avoid directing warm air directly
onto the occupants. Partitions, columns,
counters, storage racking, etc. should be
taken into account when choosing the
location so that an unobstructed path for the
Legend :

air circulation can be maintained.
LCSC-3E--EN 18/40
Each heater installed as a type B appliance
must be fitted with an individual flue pipe and
the combustion air inlet opening must be
provided with a protection grill (ask your
distributor for the appropriate protection grill
(IP20) (dia130 = PN 02 25094 ). Each
heater installed as a type C appliance must
be fitted with an individual combustion
air/flue pipe system. Only systems specified
by the air heater manufacturer may be used.
Common flue and combustion air systems
must not be used
IMPORTANT: The flue must be installed in
accordance with national and local regulations.
Failure to provide proper flueing could result in
death, serious injury and/or property damage.
The air heater must be installed with a flue to
the outside of the building. Safe operation of
any power vented gas apparatus requires a
properly operating flue system, correct
provision for combustion air, and regular
maintenance and inspection.
3.3.1 Flues for power vented installations
(Type B appliances)
If the air heater is to be installed as a type B
appliance, air for combustion will be taken
from within the space where the heater is
installed. Ensure that an adequate air supply
for combustion and ventilation is provided
within the building in accordance with the
regulations & rules in force.
Table 5 shows flue pipe sizes and maximum
pipe lengths. The minimum flue length is 0.5
meters.

Single wall flue pipes are required. All joints
must be sealed to prevent products of
combustion from leaking into the building. An
approved flue terminal is required.
If the flue passes through a combustible
element of the building it must be enclosed
by a sleeve of non-combustible material and
separated from the sleeve by at least a 25
mm air break.
The temperature of any combustible material
near to the flue must not exceed 65°C when
the heater is in operation. The flue must be
at least 50 mm away from any combustible
material.
Single wall flue pipe exposed to cold air or
run through unheated areas must be
insulated. Where condensation is
unavoidable, provision must be made for the
condensation to flow freely to a point to
which it can be released, i.e. a drain or gully.
The condensation drain from the flue must be
constructed from non-corrodible material not
less than 20 mm diameter. Copper or copper
based alloys must not be used for
condensation drains.
3.3.2 Combustion air inlet pipe & flue pipe for
balanced flue installation (Type C appliances)
Balanced flue air heaters are designed to be
fitted with a combustion air inlet pipe that
obtains outdoor air and a flue pipe that
exhausts flue products to outdoors.
Air heaters if fitted with a power venter
permitting either a vertical or horizontal
combustion air inlet/flue pipe system. The
heaters must be installed with a
concentric vertical or horizontal
flue/combustion air inlet. The heaters are
only approved for use when installed with
the appropriate approved concentric vent
terminal. See table 6.
Both the flue and combustion air pipes must be
sealed. Use gasket sealed seamless aluminum
pipe or equivalent.
The flue pipe must include a re-sealable test
port to allow good average sampling of the flue
gas mixture for testing, the port must be at
least 450 mm away from the air heater flue
connection socket.
Follow any flue pipe manufacturers’ installation
instructions for making joints, including
connections to the air heater, for passing
through a building element and for support
requirements. If more than one air heater is
being installed in the same place each heater
must have a separate flue system.
Where condensation is unavoidable,
provision must be made for the condensation
to flow freely to a point to which it can be
released, i.e. a drain or gully. The
condensation drain from the flue must be
constructed from non-corrodible material not
less than 20 mm diameter. Copper or copper
based alloys must not be used for
condensation drains.

3.4 Air supply
Figure 2c: Combustion air and flue pipe sockets, Type B
It is important to ensure that
there is an adequate air supply
at all times for both
combustion and heating
requirements. Modern
constructions involve the
greater use of insulation,
improved vapor barriers, and
weather proofing. This practice
means that buildings are
sealed much tighter than in the
past.
1 Flue pipe outlet collar
2 combustion air inlet opening
The combustion air supply for a power vented
gas fired air heater (Type B installation) can
be affected by lack of air supply. Natural
infiltration may not be adequate. Use of extract
fans aggravates this situation. It is important
to ensure that there is an adequate air supply
at all times. Reliance on doors and windows is
not allowed. Always ensure that an adequate
inlet for fresh air for combustion is provided
sized to suit the total installation of any
combustion apparatus.
Fit an access guard to the combustion air inlet
on the back of the heater and take appropriate
action to ensure that it remains unblocked.
See figure 2c.
WARNING: This model air heater is
installed as a type B application and is
designed to take air for combustion
from the space in which it is installed.
Do not restrict the combustion air
intake.
3.5 Air distribution
Follow recommended practice for building air
distribution.
The following notes are of particular
importance:
"Where free blowing air heaters are installed it
must be taken into account that heated air is
buoyant when it leaves the appliance, therefore, air
patterns within the space being heated will modify
the air throw pattern achieved.
having low heat loss where single heaters are required to
cover a large floor area and in buildings with high ceiling
heights, air re-circulation fans e.g. Maximizors may be
fitted to ensure even heat distribution and minimize
stratification. Care should be taken to avoid impeding air
flow with storage racking, partitions, etc."
In building
3.6 Electrical supply
Wiring external to the air heater must be
carried out in accordance with the rules if
force and by appropriately qualified persons.
A constant 230 Volt 50 Hertz single phase
fused electricity supply with neutral link is
required. All heaters and controls must be
earthed. A lockable isolator with contact
separation of at least 3.0 mm on all poles
should be installed adjacent to the appliance
and within reach of any person working on the
heater.
When a number of heaters are to be
connected as part of a single installation each
heater must be provided with a separate
isolator.
The electrical connection to the air heater is at
the back of the appliance. The final connection
must be made in the terminals provided in the
control compartment.
Follow the wiring diagram provided with the air
heater.
Electrical supply cable conductor size should
be 1.5 mm. Fit the cord grip supplied with the
heater. The length of conductors between the
cord grip and the terminals must be such that
in the event that the cable becomes taut the
line conductors do so before the earth
conductor.
3.7 Gas supply
LCSC-3E air heaters are designed to operate
on either natural gas (G20) or propane gas
(G31). Refer to the specifications in section 2
of this document and to the data plate for
details of supply pressures.
The gas meter and gas service must be
checked by the supply undertaking to ensure

COMMISIONING/TESTING
6
The commissioning and testing may only be
carried out by appropriately qualified persons.
This section should be read and fully
understood before commencing
commissioning and testing.
6.1 Electrical check
After completion of the installation and before
switching on the electrical supply to the
appliance, a preliminary check must be
carried out by a qualified electrician. The
following must be checked:
* Ensure that all cables & installer’s wiring
are fixed to the gas pipe & that they do not
touch the combustion collector box
* Check that all wiring is connected in
accordance with the appliance circuit
diagram;
* Ascertain that the correct fuse value and
cable size has been provided;
* Check to ensure that the appliance is
earthed by conducting an earth continuity
test. Connect a test meter, one lead to the
appliance earth terminal and the other to
the mains incoming earth point at the
electrical isolator. A resistance reading of
1,0 ohm or less must be indicated. If a
higher reading is obtained, check all cable
connections to ensure adequate security
and cleanliness..If problem still exists, it
may be necessary to consult the electricity
supply undertaking;
* Carry out a polarity test. Connect one lead
of a suitable AC voltmeter to earth and
connect the other lead to the live supply
terminal (L) at the air heater. Switch ON
the power to the air heater and check for
correct voltage.
The same result should be obtained by
connecting the test leads between live and
neutral.
Connect the voltmeter test leads to N and
E. A reading of 0V should be obtained. If
these tests do not conform to the above,
there is a fault which must be rectified
before proceeding further with the
commissioning;
* Check that a suitable thermostat or control
panel has been fitted;
LCSC-3E--EN 24/40
DO NOT ADJUST THE LOUVRES BEYOND
THEIR STOPS.
* Ensure that an electrical isolator with two
pole separation with a minimum air break
between poles of 3.0 mm has been fitted
adjacent to the air heater.
6.2 Gas connection
Only persons formally qualified to work on
gas fired apparatus may carry out
commissioning and testing.
The whole of the gas service installation
including the meter must be inspected, tested
for soundness and purged in accordance with
appropriate requirements by a qualified
person.
Never use a flame for checking gas
soundness.
6.3 Suspension and support
Check to ensure that the air heater is
adequately suspended or supported and that
no other parts have been fitted that are not
independently supported and secured. For
safe and correct operation, check the heater
is level in both planes.
6.4 Lighting the air heater
LCSC-3E air heaters are all fitted with
automatic spark ignition systems. When
adequate airflow for combustion is proven by
an air proving control and a pre-purge period
has elapsed, the integral ignitor and multifunctional gas control operate.
The ignition spark ignites the gas creating
the burner flame which is detected by a flame
rod sensor. If a burner flame is not detected,
the ignition controller proceeds to lock-out
and requires manually resetting. Lock-out is
indicated by the red warning light on the air
heater.
If the first reset is not successful, wait 15
seconds before attempting reset.
6.4.1 To turn the air heater "ON"
The following checks should be carried out
before attempting to light the air heater.
* Ensure that the gas supply to the air heater
is turned ON;
* Ensure that the electrical supply to the air
heater is switched ON;
* If fitted ensure that a time switch is set to
an ON period
* Set room thermostat to call for heat e.g. to
above room ambient temperature. The
burner will now light.
The burners can be seen through the
viewing port.
* Adjust the room thermostat to the required
operating comfort temperature. The air
heater will now start automatically when
heat is called for by the room thermostat.
Note:
If the air heater will not start on initial start-up, the
ignition controller may be in lock-out position and
require resetting. This may occur especially if the
appliance has been on stand-by for a prolonged
period.
6.4.2 To turn the air heater "OFF" for short
periods
Adjust the room thermostat to its lowest
setting or 'OFF'. The fan will continue to run
to cool the heater and then switch OFF
automatically.
6.4.3 To turn the air heater "OFF" for long
periods
Adjust the room thermostat to OFF or its
lowest setting. When the fan has stopped,
turn OFF the gas supply and then switch
OFF the electricity supply to the air heater.
6.5 Air heater gas pipe work
The soundness of the air heater pipe work
has been checked prior to leaving the
factory. However during installation,
connections may have been loosened. Check
the soundness of the appliance pipe work
using a soapy solution. If any leaks are found
they must be rectified immediately.
Never use a flame for checking gas
soundness.

6.7 Air distribution system
Adjust the air outlet discharge louvres to
provide a satisfactory spread of the warm air.
Direct the air towards the floor avoiding
blowing directly on people who may be in the
vicinity of the appliance.
If louvre adjustment is carried out
whilst the appliance is hot wear
gloves to avoid being burnt.
6.8 Air heater controls and operation
Check air heater operation after all
adjustments have been carried out. Set the
temperature control above ambient
temperature.
LCSC-3E air heaters are fitted with a
pressure sensitive, combustion air safety
control that monitors the combustion airflow.
When the combustion air safety control
closes, verifying airflow, the gas control
valve will open and the burner will light.
When insufficient airflow, the burner will
extinguish until the airflow returns to the
acceptable level.
Wait approximately 30 seconds after the
burner has lit, the time delay relay will
activate the thermal fan control which will
energize the fan motor. Continue to operate
the air heater for several minutes to ensure
correct operation.
Turn room thermostat to its lowest setting
The main burners should extinguish while the
fan continues to run to cool the air heater.
The fan delay relay will normally be deenergized and stop the fan motor in
approximately 45 seconds.
6.9 Handing over
Upon satisfactory completion of
commissioning and testing, hand the
instructions to the user or their
representative.
Advise the appropriate person how to safely
use and operate the air heater and describe
the use of appropriate external controls.
Ensure that the person understands how to
start the heater and how to turn it OFF.
Suggest that the instructions are placed
close to the air heater for future reference. In
the absence of an appropriate location fix
them to the gas service meter. Ensure they
are not placed where they may restrict the
airflow from the heater or where they may
catch fire from a hot surface.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
Operating: Gas is burned by an atmospheric
burner which fires into a heat exchanger. The
gas burner is controlled by a double gas valve
via an electronic burner control, which is
actuated automatically via external controls i.e.
a room thermostat and/or a time switch. The
burner is ignited by a spark igniter. When the
burner fires and warms the heat exchanger, the
heat is sensed by a thermally actuated fan
control which switches on the fan when the air
temperature has reached its preset operating
level. At the end of a heating cycle the burner is
switched off, the air circulation fan will continue
to run until the air heater has cooled to a safe
condition. Thereafter the fan will remain off until
the next cycle is initiated.
Safety:
1. Flame failure is detected by the ionization
probe which is the sensor and will
immediately result in gas valve shut down.
2. Safety against overheating is assured by two
overheat controls. The first is an automatic
recycle control which protects against low air
flow i.e. clogged air ways, fan failure etc. The
second, which is set to a higher level than
the first one, is a control which locks out and
switches off the burner in the event of gross
overheating for any reason. Manual
intervention is necessary to reset this control
device. Resetting of the automatic burner
control may also be required.
3. The location of the air heater should be
maintained at normal atmospheric pressure.
Changes to the building after air heater
installation, should have regard to the
heating installation, i.e. structural changes
causing excessive draughts from doors,
windows etc. Other air handlers and
installation of air extraction equipment which
may cause a negative pressure environment,
can seriously affect the operation of this type
of air heater, especially if combustion air
supply is not ducted.
To light the heater:
1. Turn on the gas supply to the air heater.
2. Switch on the electricity supply to the air
heater.
3. Ensure time switch (if fitted) is set to an 'ON'
cycle.
4. Adjust control/room thermostat to desired
temperature.
5. Air heater will light automatically when the
room thermostat calls for heat after about 30
sec.
6. If the appliance does not light:
a) Check that the burner control does not
require resetting. An indicator light glows at
the inside panel of the appliance and on a
remote control if fitted. Reset by pushing
reset/button inside the appliance or the
remote control.
b) Check if thermal overheat control
requires resetting
7. If the thermal overheat control requires
resetting and doing so restarts the air
heater, wait until the appliance warms to
thermal equilibrium, to ensure the overheat
control does not lock out again. If it does
and the temperature near the heater is less
than 30°C, then switch off the appliance
and call for service. If the temperature is
over 30°C, take appropriate action to
reduce the ambient temperature near the
air heater.
Air circulation:
1. The space heating process is for air to be
circulated through the appliance whereby it
gains heat from a heat exchanger. The air
is directly discharged into the space to be
heated. The air is eventually re-circulated.
Therefore it is very important that an
unobstructed path for the circulation of the
air will be maintained. This is particularly
important if the air heater has been
installed to blow through the wall between
two rooms.
2. Sometimes the air circulation fan of the
appliance is connected to a remote override switch. This enables air to be used for
circulation purposes when the air heater is
not used for heating purposes e.g. in
summer. To use this feature:
a) Switch ON electricity
b) Switch ON manual override switch, this
may be fitted as a feature on a remote
composite control.
Maintenance:
1. Maintenance and service must only be
carried out by appropriately qualified
persons e.g. "Corgi" registered
undertakings.
2. It is in your interest to ensure proper
service and maintenance is carried out at a
regular basis. Periods between services are
dependent upon the local environment
where the heater is installed. All gas
appliances should be serviced at least once
a year.
3. In case of any damage to the appliance, it
must be shut down completely and checked
by an appropriately qualified person.
4. In the event of difficulties in resolving any
of these matters, please do not hesitate to
contact the manufacturer or their official
distributor.
NEVER SWITCH OFF ELECTRICTY SUPPLY TO
THE AIR HEATER WITHOUT FIRST CLOSING THE
GAS ISOLATING TAP
