SECTION 3: INTRODUCTION

3.1 About Roberts-Gordon

Roberts-Gordon pioneered low-intensity infrared
heating systems in 1962 with the introduction of its

®

revolutionary custom-engineered CORAYVAC

sys­tem. After more than 40 years of infrared expertise in
commercial and industrial applications, Roberts-Gor­don now offers the CGTH-Series heater for use in
residential garages and light industrial/commercial
applications.

3.2 About the Heater

The CGTH-Series is a factory-assembled, gas-fired,
low-intensity heating system that incorporates a bal­anced flue. The system has been designed for easy
installation and will provide years of economical
operation and trouble-free service. Not only is infra­red heat efficient, it also provides the most comfort­able conditions in open areas, such as garages.

SECTION 3: INTRODUCTION

lifted from the carton at the same time. The burner
should be lifted by gripping the bottom. The reflector
of the heater should be lifted using the hanger.

3.3.2 Safety

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Wear protective gloves when handling aluminum
reflectors.

Edges are sharp.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury.

Gas-Fired means it uses clean-burning natural or LP
gas.

Low-Intensity means that the radiant surface of the
tube does not glow red. Instead, it operates at a
lower temperature (less than 1000°F) and radiates
energy at a lower intensity per square foot of radiat­ing surface. The lower temperature and intensity lev­els are within a range that is most effective in
establishing and maintaining personal comfort levels.
An aluminum reflector directs the radiant energy
downward to the occupied area.

Balanced Flue means that the burner draws com­bustion air from outdoors and exhausts the products
of combustion, also to the outdoors, through a shared
opening. This is accomplished through two concen­tric tubes.

Radiant refers to the energy radiated by the CGTH­Series heater. Because the energy is in the form of
infrared rays, it does not directly heat the air. Instead,
the rays heat objects such as the floor, cars, machines
and people. The warm objects, in turn, heat the air.

Thin sheet metal parts, such as the reflector portion
of the heater and the various venting components,
have sharp edges. To prevent injury, the use of work
gloves is recommended. The use of gloves will also
prevent the transfer of body oils from the hands to the
surface of the reflector.

These combined features are the key to the excep­tional comfort and fuel efficiency provided by the
CGTH-Series heater.

3.3 Unpacking the Heater

3.3.1 Manpower Requirements

To prevent personal injury and damage to the heater,
two persons will be required to remove the heater

FOR YOUR SAFETY

If you smell gas:

1. Open windows.

2. DO NOT try to light any appliance.

3. DO NOT use electrical switches.

4. DO NOT use any telephone in
your building.

5. Leave the building.

6. Immediately call your local gas
supplier after leaving the building.
Follow the gas suppliers
instructions.

7. If you cannot reach your gas
supplier, call the Fire Department.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.

5.4 Operating Instructions.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug heater into grounded three-

prong ceiling receptacle.

Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug.

Do not use with an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or electrical
shock.

.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power before service or
maintenance.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electrical shock.

Some objects will catch fire or explode
when placed close to heater.

Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, injury or property
damage.

1. This appliance does not have a pilot. It is
equipped with an ignition device which automat­ically lights the burner. DO NOT try to light the
burner by hand.

2. BEFORE OPRERATING smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the floor because some gas is heavier than air
and will settle on the floor.

3. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas
control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not
push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call
a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explo­sion.

4. DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance and replace
any part of the control system and any gas con­trol which has been under water.

STOP! Read the safety information above.

1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.

2. Turn off all electric power to the heater.

3. Do not try to light the burner by hand.

4. Turn off the manual gas valve in the heater
supply line.

5. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you
then smell gas, STOP! If you do not smell gas,
go to the next step.

6. Open the manual gas valve in the heater supply
line.

7. Turn on electric power to the heater.

8. Set the thermostat to the desired setting.

9. If the heater will not operate, See Section 5.5
and call your service technician or gas supplier.

5.5 To Turn Off Gas To Heater

1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.

15

CGTH USE AND CARE MANUAL

2. Turn off all electric power to the heater if service
is to be performed.

3. Turn off the manual gas valve in the heater
supply line.

5.6 Sequence of Operation

1. When the thermostat calls for heat, the blower
motor will energize.

2. When the motor approaches nominal running
speed, the pressure switch closes and activates
the ignition module which in turn initiates the
purge.

3. The ignition module then energizes the spark
igniter.

4. When sparking begins, the gas valve is ener­gized.

5. If a flame is detected, the gas valve remains
open. When the call for heat is satisfied, the sys­tem control mechanism de-energizes and the
gas valve is turned off.

6. If no flame is detected, the gas valve is closed,
and a purge period begins. After the purge
period, the ignition module energizes the spark
igniter and the gas valve. If a flame is still not
established, a third and final purge/ignition
sequence is begun. After three failed attempts,
the system control mechanism will lock out for a
period of one hour or until the unit is reset.

7. Reset is accomplished by removing power from
the heater for at least five seconds.

8. With a three-try module, when the flame is
established and then lost on the first or second
trial, the gas valve will automatically turn off. A
purge and trial for ignition will then occur.

5.7 Venting

As mentioned on Page 5, Section 3.7, it is the
Installer’s Responsibility to properly vent (exhaust)
the heater outside. Please make sure your heater is
vented. If it is not vented, do not use the heater.
Immediately call your installer.
Your heater may be vented in one of three ways:
horizontal through the wall, horizontal with an elbow
through the wall or vertical through the roof. You
should know the way your heater is vented. Refer to
the following drawings to determine the type of vent­ing you have. If you are not sure, please contact your
installer.

WARNING

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Heater must be exhausted outside.

Use materials supplied.

This heater needs fresh air for safe
operation and must be installed so
there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.

Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or inj ury.
