2.1 Wall Tag

A laminated wall tag is available for the heater as a permanent reminder of the safety instructions and the importance of the required clearances to combustibles. Please contact Roberts-Gordon LLC
®
or your ROBERTS GORDON
independent distributor to obtain the wall tag. Affix the tag by peeling off the backing of the adhesive strips on the rear surface and position the tag on a wall near the CRVSF-Series heater (e.g. thermostat or controller). A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91037912) is illustrated on the back cover. For an immediate solution, you may affix this copy on the wall near the heater. Know your model number and installed configuration. Model number and installed configuration are found on the burner and in the Installation, Operation and Service Manual. See Page 6, Figure 3. Write the proper clearance dimensions in permanent ink according to your model number and configuration in the open spaces on the tag.

2.2 Corrosive Chemicals

CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not use heater in area containing corrosive chemicals.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in product damage.

SECTION 3: CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

3.1 Required Clearances to Combustibles

Clearances are the required distances that combustible objects must be away from the heater to prevent serious fire hazards. Combustibles are materials that may catch fire and include common items such as wood, paper, rubber, fabric, etc.
Maintain clearances to combustibles at all times for safety.
Clearances for all heater models are located on the burner of the heater and on Page 6, Figure 3 in this manual. Check the clearances on each burner for the model heater being installed to make sure the product is suitable for your application and the clearances are maintained. Read and follow the safety guidelines below:
• Keep gasoline or other combustible materials including flammable objects, liquids, dust or vapors away from this heater or any other equipment.
• The stated clearances to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90° F (50°C) above room temperature. Building materials with a low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply, etc) may be subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure that adjacent materials are protected from degradation.
• Maintain clearances from heat sensitive equipment and workstations.
• Maintain clearances from vehicles parked below the heater.
• Maintain clearances from swinging and overhead doors, overhead cranes, vehicle lifts, partitions, storage racks, hoists, building construction, etc.
• In locations used for the storage of combustible materials, signs must be posted to specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain
required clearances from the heater to the combustibles. Signs must be posted adjacent to the heater thermostat. In the absence of a thermostat, signs must be posted in a conspicuous location.
• Consult local Fire Marshal, Fire Insurance Carrier or other authorities for approval of proposed installation when there is a possibility of exposure to combustible airborne materials or vapors.
• Hang heater in accordance to the minimum suspension requirements on Page 18, Figure 14.
• If the radiant tubes must pass through the building structure, be s
ure that adequate sleeving and fire stop is installed to prevent scorching and/or fire hazard.

NOTE: 1. All dimensions are from the surfaces of all tubes, couplings, elbows, tees and crosses.

2. Clearances B, C and D can be reduced by 50% after 25' (7.5 m) of tubing downstream from where the combustion chamber and the tube connect.

CRVSF-SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL

SECTION 7: UNITARY HEATERS

7.1 In-Series Systems vs. Unitary Heaters

CRVSF-Series burners may be used as in-series systems or unitary heaters. Unitary heaters consist of a single burner, a single run of radiant tubing and a vacuum pump. See Page 16, Figure 13 for details. In-series systems consist of more than one burner and more than one run of radiant tubing. The runs of radiant tubing are connected together by manifold tubing. The manifold tubing connects to a single pump that exhausts the flue gases outdoors.
Since this manual addresses installation of both unitary heaters and in-series systems, pay close

SECTION 8: HEATER INSTALLATION

WARNING
Severe Injury Hazard
Hang heater with materials with a minimum working load of 750 lbs. (340 kg).
Use special tube and reflector hangers when suspending the schedule 40 steel pipe system.
Schedule 40 steel pipe is heavy and will fall if not supported properly.
Distance between supports must be 7' (2.13 m) or less.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, injury or property damage.
WARNING
Cut/Pinch Hazard
Wear protective gear during installation, operation and service.
Edges are sharp.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Pipe compound may drip during first start-up.
Protect personnel and surfaces below heater prior to start-up.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or property damage.
SECTION 8: HEATER INSTALLATION
To e n sure your safety and comply with the terms of the warranty, all units must be installed in accordance with these instructions.
The gas or the electrical supply lines must not be used to support the heater.
Do not locate the gas or electric supply lines directly over the path of the flue products from the heater.
The heater must be installed in a location that is readily accessible for servicing.
The heaters must be installed in accordance with clearances to combustibles as indicated on the burner control side panel (inside) and in this instruction manual.
The minimum and maximum gas inlet pressures must be maintained as indicated on the rating plate.
Typical installation configurations are shown on Page 18, Figure 14.
Expansion and contraction of the tube dictates that the minimum suspension lengths must be maintained.See table on Page 18, Figure 14.
Install all threaded components with a minimum thread engagement of three threads. Apply sufficient amount of high temperature anti-seize pipe compound (P/N 91308001 or equivalent) to threads prior to engagement. Hot compound may drip from threads.

10.1.1 Condensate Neutralization Tube (optional)

If a condensate neutralization tube is specified to be used with the heating system, follow the steps below to choose the proper condensate neutralization tube.
See Page 32, Figure 17.
Step 1: Condensate flow (gal/h) per 100,000 Btu/h installed
Yo u will need to know the tailpipe length per flow unit and the total input (Btu/h) on the heating system. Please refer to the following chart to determine the condensate flow (gal/h) per 100,000 Btu/h installed:
Radiant Tube Length
(average distance between burners) Minimum N/A 0.1 0.3 0.6
Recommended 0.1 0.3 0.6 0.8 Maximum 0.3 0.6 0.8 0.8
Minimum Recommended
Tailpipe Length per Flow Unit
1.7 ft/flow unit
Maximum
Step 2: Total condensate
Determine the total condensate (gal/h) using the follow calculation:
Total condensate (gal/h) = Total Input (Btu/h) / 100,000 (Btu/h) x condensate flow (gal/h)
Step 3: Choose the condensate neutralization tube
Choose the condensate neutralization tube which is closest to and higher than the calculated gal/h value.
(600,000/100,000) x 0.3 = 1.8 (gal/h)
Step 3: Choose the condensate neutralization tube
Choose the condensate neutralization tube which is closest to and higher than the calculated gal/h value. For this example, the total condensate is 1.8 (gal/h), the condensate neutralization tube which is closest to and higher than the calculated gal/h value is P/N
01327002.

CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not use heater in area containing corrosive chemicals.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in product damage.

SECTION 11: OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY

The CRVSF-Series system must use an outside air system.
Halogenated hydrocarbons or other corrosive chemicals in the air can be drawn into the equipment and seriously damage the system components. Avoid the use of such chemical compounds near the air inlet to the heaters. All joints and seams in the air supply system must be airtight. Attach the filter housing to the burner assembly using the wing nut provided. To p re vent condensation, insulate the outside air duct.

11.1 Pressurized

See Page 39, Figure 24 for a typical layout of a pressurized air supply system. For pressurized outside air supplies, the outside air blower motor has a pressure switch that must be used. Wire this switch in series with the pump pressure switch. When using an outside air blower with a ROBERTS GORDON® System Control or
®
ROBERTS GORDON transformer, a separate load relay package is required. Wire the control for the relay in parallel with the pump. The outside air blower must have a separate 20 A, 120 V power supply. See Page 37, Figure 21 for outside air blower internal wiring requirements. The outside air blower has an adjustable internal damper that should be wide open. On smaller systems (about 3 burners) this damper might need to be closed up to half way if the pressure switch does not make.

11.2 Non-Pressurized

For a non-pressurized outside air supply, a 4" (O.D.) single wall pipe duct may be attached to the burner
ULTRAVAC™ control or relay
and end vent via flexible duct as system will expand and contract. For length and duct sizing requirements, see duct design rules in Figure 20. To prevent condensation, insu

13.3.5 Sequence of Operation

Depending on the space temperature, the thermostat will control the heat output based on demand signal
communicated from the thermostat program. The thermostat will close contact on the transformer relay (P/N 90417600K). The VFD run command is energized by the transformer relay. When the VFD energizes the pump and the vacuum has been established, the pressure switch will close and energize the burners. At high heat, a demand signal will turn the pump speed to a maximum frequency and burner(s) ON at maximum firing rate. As the space temperature gets closer to the set point, the thermostat program will slow the pump speed and

generate a demand signal to the VFD. The VFD will output a signal to the pump to run at the desired heater(s) firing rate. There are two means to set up the analog signal from the modulating thermostat to the VFD (See Page 45, Figure 28):

1. To obtain 4-20 mA signal, connect as shown on Page 54, Figure 37 and set standard speed source (parameter 05 inside VFD menu) to 04.

2. To obtain 2-10 Vdc (with 500 ohm resistor) signal, connect as shown on Page 53, Figure 36 and set standard speed source (parameter 05 inside VFD menu) to 03.

NOTE: To obtain Analog 0-10VDC signal, connect as shown on Page 55, Figure 38 and set standard speed source (parameter 05 inside VFD menu) to 03.

13.3.6 Analog Signal

An Analog Signal 2-10 Vdc (with 500 ohm resistor) or 4-20 mA output from a modulating thermostat controls the ROBERTS GORDON
®
VFD. The VFD supplies a variable frequency output signal to the pump that will vary based on the signal from the modulating thermostat.
®
The ROBERTS GORDON
CORAYVAC® with modulating thermostat wiring diagram is shown on Page 53, Figure 36. When the temperature falls below the setpoint, the modulating thermostat will

the temperature setpoint, the modulating thermostat and the VFD will reduce the signal output, in turn reducing the heater firing rate. Upon satisfying temperature setpoint, the modulating thermostat and the VFD will either:

1. Turn off heater.

2. Reduce the signal so that the minimum heating firing rate is maintained until the sensed tem­perature rises above the setpoint to a cut-off limit temperature when the modulating thermo­stat turns off the heater.

13.4 SPST Transformer Relay Kit (P/N 90417600K)

14.1 Checking the Gas Line

1. Open the main valve and verify that no gas is flowing through the meter.

2. Purge the line if this was not done following pressure testing with air.

3. Verify that the gas pressure is not above 14'' wc (1/2 PSIG).

4. Close the main gas valve.

14.2 Checking the Electrical System

1. See that all temperature setpoints are set below room temperature.

2. Turn on power supply to system controls.

3. Check to see that no part of the system (i.e. burners, pump or air supply blower) is powered.

5. Vacuum pump motors can be wired to rotate the impeller in either direction. A negative pressure can still be measured when the impeller is run- ning backwards. Ensure proper rotation of the impeller prior to setting the vacuum pressure.
6. Make a preliminary vacuum check at burners in branches that have an adjustable damper coupling. See Page 59, Figure 41 for manome- ter hookup to check vacuum. This check is to insure that all dampers are open before the system is fired. Vacuum, as measured at the end vents, should be approximately 3.5'' wc or slightly above (cold).

2.5'' wc to 3.0'' wc.
If end vent vacuum exceeds 3.0" wc, adjust the pump inlet damper until vacuum readings are
2.5'' wc to
3.0'' wc. With systems designed to operate at maximum
vacuum, it may not be possible to obtain vacuum differential readings at or slightly above
2.5'' wc. If so, adjust the damper couplings to maximum but equal vacuum reading. Be sure to lock all dampers securely after adjustment.

3. After adjustment, seal all openings found in the damper nipple(s) with high temperature silicone sealant.

4. Reset temperature setpoints to desired room temperature.

5. If heat is not required, turn off main switch and close the main gas valve.

Make sure it is clean and free of cracks or holes.
Clean or replace as required. Compressed air or a vacuum cleaner may be used to clean dust and dirt.
Motor Burner Head and Orifice Clear of obstructions. (Even spider webs will cause problems).
Carefully remove any dust and debris from the burner.
Electrode Replace if there are cracked ceramics, excessive carbon residue, or erosion
of the electrode.
The electrode gap should be 1/8" (3 mm).
Thermostat or Sensor There should be no exposed wire or damage to the thermostat or sensor.
See Page 43, Section 13.
Suspension Points Make sure the heater is hanging securely. Look for signs of wear on the chain
or ceiling.
See Page 18, Figure 14.
Filter Check for dirt or dust. Clean or replace as required. Fresh Air Filter Box Change or clean filter as necessary. Heavy contaminated filter may warrant a
tighter maintenance schedule than the remaining of the heating system.
Pump With pump operating, check for excessive vibration or noise. Vibration is usu-
ally a sign that the impeller is out of balance. Turn off the system, insure power is shut off and remove the inlet plate. Check the shaft seal and replace it if worn or missing.
With the Power off:
Check the inlet and outlet of the pump for blockage or excessive soot and clean as necessary.
Check boots for cracking or deterioration and replace if necessary.
If a condensate trap is installed, check the condition of the trap and the drain line attached. Note: the condensate trap should be filled with water at the beginning of each heating season.
Check the condition of the motor mounts. Lift the motor from the rear; look for breaks in the rubber and replace if necessary.
Check the condition and operation of the pressure switch.
