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.

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:

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

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.

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.

Heaters must be installed
according to the
installation manual.
Burn Hazard
Allow heater to cool
before service.
Tubing may still be
hot after operation.
Start with the main gas valve closed and the electric
power off.
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.
4. Individually check each zone by raising the zone
temperature set points separately. Raising each
zone temperature set point above room
temperature should start the pu
After a 45 second delay, the burners will begin
their ignition sequence by sparking at the
electrode (visible through the burner window).
mp immediately.
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).
14.3 Starting the System
NOTE: During the initial firing, the protectiv
the pipe may smoke for 30 to 60 minutes and
adequate ventilation should be provided.
1. S t a r t with all temperature setpoints below room
temperature.
2. Open main gas valve.
3. Turn up temperature setpoints one zone at a
time, waiting to see that all burners in a zone
start. When the burner ignites, a blue flame will
be observed through the viewer window.
4. If any abnormal operation occurs, see the trou-
bleshooting section of the service instructions.

14.4 Setting the Vacuum
1. Set temperature setpoints above room temperature. See that all burners are operating properly.
2. Allow at least one hour operation for temperature to normalize, then check system vacuum
balance. Vacuum can be measured by inserting
a manometer hose into the end vent as shown
on Page 59, Figure 41. Normal end vent vac-
uum should
3.0'' wc
be set at approximately 2.5'' wc to
(hot).
Vacuum adjustments are made by means of the
damper in the pump inlet and the adjustable
damper nipple(s) in the system. Check the vac-uum at all end vents and then adjust the damper
coupling to obtain equal vacuum
readings of
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.
14.5 Record Start-Up Results
1. D uring the initial installation and start-u p of the
system, fill out the
