TECHNICAL DATA
Each blower motor is a three speed motor. The blower can be used on 3 different speeds. The units leaving the factory are
set to the standard speed as mentioned in table 4b. The curves as shown in the gures below, illlustrate for each unit which
speeds can be chosen in order to get another air duty. Speeds not illustrated in the curves mean that these are not applicable
(means : unit should not be set to that speed).
To use the blower on a different speed, the electrical connection of the blower motor needs to be changed. This has to be done
in the electrical connection box mounted on the blower itself. Inside the box, the 230V power supply wire is connected to the
terminal of the standard speed. For changing speeds, you have to reconnect this wire to the terminal that corresponds to the
desired speed (see wiring diagram inside service panel unit).

FLUE REQUIREMENTS
Model UDSBD-4E heaters may be installed as Type-B and
Type-C installations.
Local requirements may apply in addition to national
requirements. These unit heaters are designed to operate
safely and efciently with either a horizontal or vertical ue
system when installed with the specic requirements and
instructions.
If this heater is replacing an existing heater, be sure that
the ue is sized properly for the heater being installed and
that the existing ue is in good condition. A properly sized
ue system is required for safe operation of the heater. An
improperly sized ue system can cause unsafe conditions
and/or create condensation.
The air heaters may be installed as a balanced ue (type
C) heater requiring both a combustion air inlet duct and
a ue pipe or as a power vented heater (type B) (the
combustion air is taken from the space where heater is
installed), which requires only a ue pipe exhausting to
outdoors.
Each heater installed as a type B appliance must be tted with
an individual ue pipe and the combustion air inlet opening
is provided with a protection grill. Each heater installed as a
type C appliance must be tted with an individual combustion air/ue pipe system. Type C2 appliance, with single duct
system for supply of combustion air and evacuation of ue
gasses, are not allowed.
IMPORTANT :
The ue must be installed in accordance with national
and local regulations. Failure to provide proper ueing
could result in death, serious injury and/or property
damage. The air heater must be installed with a ue to
the outside of the building. Safe operation of any power
vented gas apparatus requires a properly operating ue
system, correct provision for combustion air and regular
maintenance and inspection.
Diameter & maximum ue pipe lengths
Flue pipe diameters and maximum pipe lengths in table 5 apply to both horizontal and vertical systems. Add all straight
sections and equivalent lengths for elbow.
The total combined length must not exceed the maximum
ue length.

FLUE OUTLET
Venter outlet attachment requirements:
Depending on the size of ue pipe as determined in table 5,
attach either the ue pipe directly to the collar or a taper-type
connector.
Attention :
Single wall ue pipe exposed to cold air or run through unheated
areas should be insulated. Where condensation is unavoidable,
provision must be made for the condensation to ow freely to
a point to which it can be released, i.e. a drain or gully. The
condensation drain from the ue 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.
The port must be at least 450 mm away from the air heater ue
connection socket. Follow the ue pipe manufacturers instal-
lation instructions for making joints, including connections to
the air heater, for passing through a building element and for
support requirements.
Single wall ue seamless aluminium or stainless steel pipes
are required. All joints must be sealed to prevent products
of combustion from leaking into the building. If the ue
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 a minimum of 25 mm air
break. The temperature of any combustible material near
to the ue must not exceed 65°C when the heater is in
operation. The ue must be at least 150 mm away from any
combustible material.
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 BS6230/BS5440 plus other relevant regulations & rules in force.

Balanced ue air heaters are designed to be tted with a
combustion air inlet duct that obtains outdoor air and a ue
pipe that exhausts ue products to outdoors. Both the ue
and combustion air pipes must be sealed. Use gasket sealed
seamless aluminium or stainless steel pipe or equivalent.
For testing, the ue pipe should include a sealable test port.
Type C2 appliances must not be applied !

AIR SUPPLY
When these air heaters are installed in type B applications, designed to take air for combustion from the space
in which it is installed. Do not restrict the combustion
air intake.
It is important to ensure that there is an adequate air supply
at all times for both combustion and heating requirements.
Modern buildings involve greater use of insulation, improved
vapour barriers, and weather proong. These practices mean
that buildings are sealed much tighter than in the past.
Proper combustion air supply for a power vented Type B
installation requires ventilation of the heated space. Natural
inltration of air may not be adequate. Use of exhaust fans
aggravates this situation. It is important to ensure that there
is adequate combustion air supply at all times. Reliance on
doors and windows is not allowed.
Always ensure that adequate combustion air is provided
to suit the total installation of all combustion equipment
in accordance with BS6230 or BS5440 as appropriate.
Ensure that the air combustion inlet opening at the rear side
of the unit cannot be obstructed (cfr. g. 3).

LOCATION HEATER
Warning:
If touched, the vent pipe and internal heater surfaces
that are accessible from outside the heater will cause
burns. Suspend the heater such that these components
cannot be touched.
Remark:
Flue requirements may affect location. Consult section
7 before making a nal determination.
Use the minimum clearances in section 5 and the throw data
in the technical data table of section 6 when determining
where to suspend the heater.
For best results, the heater should be placed with certain rules in
mind. Always ensure that minimum clearances are maintained.
Locating a unit heater above the maximum recommended
height can result in signicant air stratication. When possible,
heaters should be arranged to blow toward or along exposed
wall surfaces.
Suspended heaters are most effective when located as close to
the working zone as possible, but care should be exercised to
avoid directing the discharged air directly on to room occupants.
Partitions, columns, counters, or other obstructions should be
taken into consideration when locating the unit heater so that a
minimum quantity of airow will be deected by such obstacles.
When units are located in the centre 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
centre of the area. For optimum results heaters are best used in
conjunction with recirculating air fans suspended at high level.

Hazards of Chlorine - apply to the location of the
combustion air inlet
The presence of chlorine vapours in the combustion air
of gas-red heating equipment presents a potential corrosion hazard. Chlorine, found usually in the form of freon or
degreaser compounds when exposed to a ame will precipi-
tate from the compound, and go into solution with any condensation that is present in the heat exchanger or associated
parts. The result is hydrochloric acid which readily attacks all
metals. Care should be taken to separate these vapours from
the combustion process. This may be done by wise location
of the unit ue and combustion air terminals with regard to
exhausters or prevailing wind directions. Chlorine is heavier
than air. Keep this fact in mind when determining installation
location of the heater in relation to building exhaust systems.
Where chlorine vapours are prevalent heaters with special
grade 316 A1SI stainless steel heat exchangers are recommended.
At those points where inltration 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, typically from a distance of 4.5 to 6.0 meters or install
a downow unit over the door opening.
Caution : Do not locate the heater where it may be exposed to water.

Warning:
Check the supporting structure to verify that it has sufcient
load-carrying capacity to support the unit weight. Suspend
the heater only from the threaded nut retainers or with a
manufacturer provided kit. DO NOT suspend from the heater cabinet panels.
Do not place or add additional weight to the suspended
heater.
Before suspending the heater, check the supporting structure to
verify that it has sufcient load-carrying capacity to support the

Be sure that the threaded hanger rods are locked to the heater
as illustrated in gure 6. Recommended maximum hanger
rod length is 1.8m. Where longer drops are required, ensure
that restraints are tted to prevent excess lateral movement
and supports are adequately sized.
GAS PIPING & PRESSURES
All piping must be in accordance with requirements outlined in
the National Gas Codes (different for each country). Gas supply piping installation should also conform with good practice
and any local codes. Support gas piping with pipe hangers,
metal strapping, or other suitable material. Do not rely on
the heater to support the gas pipe.
All sealing products shall be resistant to the action of liqueed
petroleum gas or any other chemical constituents of the gas
being supplied.
Install a ground joint union and manual shutoff the gas cock
upstream of the unit control system.
The unit is equipped with a nipple that extends outside the
cabinet. The gas connection is 1/2” or 3/4”, dependent on the
size of the unit.

The electrical installation may only be carried out by an
appropriately qualied person current to IEE Regulations. The
supply line to the heater should include a main switch. The
minimum clearance distance between the contacts must be
more than 3 mm.
All electrical connections should be made in the heater control
compartment. Screw type terminals are provided. Connections
should be in accordance with the terminal markings and the
wiring diagram afxed to the air heater.
Attention :
Serious damage can occur to burner relay when faulty
connection of thermostat, reset switch or burner failure
lamp.
Switching of wires for reset switch and ame failure (e.g.
in a remote control box) will destroy the burner relay.
The minimum external control required for the air heater is
a room thermostat. It is essential that the main input line
and neutral to terminals L and N remain live at all times
even when the heater is switched off to ensure correct
operation of the unit.
A polarisation switch with green indicator light is tted inside
the heater to check if Line, Neutral and Earth are connected
correctly. If this is the case, the green light will glow when
pushing on the switch. If the light does not glow, check
earth, line and neutral connections.
A burner reset switch with red indicator light is tted on the
heater. To add a remote reset button, make connections to the
terminals in the electric box as indicated on the wiring diagram.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
DANGER : THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
MPORTANT:
If the reset button requires activating for any reason,
the cause must be determined. After determining
and correcting the problem, restart the heater and
monitor long enough to ensure proper operation
(approx. 5 minutes).
An orange indicator light is tted on the heater to signify
when the burner is on.
Ensure that all cables and installers wiring are xed to
the gas pipe and that they do not touch the combustion
collector box.
THERMOSTAT LOCATION
Do not attempt to control more than 1 air heater from
a single thermostat or control panel unless a properly
wired relay is tted. Follow the instructions supplied
with such panels.
The location of the room thermostat or sensor is very
important. It should not be positioned on a cold wall or
cold surface. Avoid location in draughty areas or where it
may be inuenced by heat sources e.g. the sun, process
plant, etc. The thermostat should be mounted on a
vibration free surface and mounted about 1,5 metres
above oor level. Follow the thermostat manufacturers
instructions. The thermostat must be suitable for potential
free contacts.

7. If tted, ensure that a time switch is set to an ‘ON’ period.
8. Adjust the thermostat to the required setting (must be
above current room temperature).
If the appliance does not operate, follow the instructions
“To turn off gas supply at the Appliance” printed below and
call your service technician.
9. Thermostat calls for heat, energyzing the venter motor.
10. When adequate air ow for combustion is proven by an
air proving switch and a prepurge period has elapsed,
the integral ignitor and multifunctional gas control operate. The ignition spark ignites the gas creating the
burner ame.
11. Burner ame is sensed by a ame rod sensor and when
the heat exchanger is warmed up (+/- 30 seconds) and
the fan control relay closes, the fan motor is energized.
12. If the ame is extinguished during the main burner op-
eration, the integrated control system closes the main
valve and attempts to relight the burner. The unit will
attempt 5 ignitions before entering a “lock out” mode.
Lock out is indicated by the red warning light on the
heater. To end this mode push on the reset switch.
13. To turn the 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.
14. To turn the heater ‘OFF’ for long periods : see ‘To turn
off gas supply at the appliance’ below.
Burner gas pressure adjustment
The gas pressure is set for the required heat input before the
appliance leaves the factory. Provided that the gas supply
to the air heater is in accordance with the supply pressure
described on the appliance data plate, the operating pressure
will not require adjustment. To check the pressure use the
following procedure:
* Ascertain from the heater’s data plate the correct operating
gas pressure;
* Turn the room thermostat control to its lowest setting;
* Remove the screw from the burner pressure test point of
the multi-functional control valve. Connect a manometer
to the test point( see gures 9 & 10);
* Adjust the room thermostat to call for heat i.e. above room
ambient temperature;
* Observe the burner gas pressure on the manometer and
compare to the required pressure on the data plate;
* If necessary, adjust the burner gas pressure. Remove
the cover screw (models 035-4E- >100-4E) or cover cap
(models 011-4E->030-4E). To adjust low re, use the lower
copper ring - to adjust high re, use the upper plastic ring;
* Set room thermostat to lowest setting to turn OFF the burn-
ers. Replace the test point screw/cap and with the main
burner OFF, test for gas soundness using a leak detector
uid.
Reset temperature control/room thermostat to comfort
operating level.
Check installation after start-up
TO TURN OFF GAS SUPPLY AT THE APPLIANCE
1) Set thermostat to the lowest possible setting or ‘OFF’
position.
2) Shut off the gas tap when the fan has stopped.
3) Switch off electric power to the appliance.
Check gas pressure as described in detail below.
Turn the unit off and on, pausing 2 minutes between

This heater is equipped with a direct spark integrated control relay. The control relay monitors the safety devices and
controls the operation of the venter motor and the gas valve between heat cycles. The time line below illustrates a normal heat cycle.
Normal heat cycle operating sequence
Denitions
Start position: The system is not in lock-out position and can proceed with the start-up sequence upon a demand for heat.
Pre-purge time: This is a period of 20 seconds during which the combustion fan (venter) operates prior to activation of the ignition device.
Safety time: The safety time is the delay between the gas valve being energised and the ame sensor checking for the presence of a
ame. This is a period of 5 seconds.
Note: If no ame is sensed, the burner relay will attempt ignition 5 times before going into lock-out mode.
Post-purge time: This is the time of 10 seconds between burner shut-down and the moment the combustion fan (venter) is de-energized.

LIMIT CONTROLS
The main operating quick opening gas valve is powered through
the thermostat and safety controls. The main control valve is of
the diaphragm type providing regulated gas ow and is preset at
the factory. The gas valve requires no eld maintenance except
careful removal of external dirt accumulation and checking of
wiring connections. Instructions for testing pressure settings
are in section 12.
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 correct sealing.
COMBUSTION AIR PRESSURE SWITCH
DANGER
Safe operation of this unit requires proper venting
flow. Never bypass the combustion air pressure
swtich or attempt to operate the unit without the venter
operating.
The combustion air pressure switch ensures that proper com-
bustion airow is available. The switch senses the differential
pressure between the negative pressure in the ue gas collector
box and the pressure in the control section.
On startup when the heater is cold, the sensing pressure is at
the most negative level, and as the heater and ue system warm
up, the sensing pressure becomes less negative.
If a restriction or excessive ue pipe length causes the sensing
pressure to be below the allowable level, the pressure switch
will shut off the main burner.
If it is determined that the pressure switch needs replacing, use
only the factory-authorized replacement part that is designed
for the model and size of heater being serviced.
All units are equipped with temperature activated limit controls.
The controls are factory set and non-adjustable. If either setpoint is reached, the corresponding limit control will interrupt
the electric power to the gas valve. These safety devices
provide protection in the case of motor failure or lack of airow
due to restrictions. (For locations, see gure 11a.)
If a limit control needs replacing, use only the factory autho-
rized replacement part for the size of heater.
For approximate limit locations, see gure 11a.
Warning :
Never bypass the limit controls, hazardous conditions
could result.
