The installer is responsible for the following:
• To ensure the system is designed in accordance
with the parameters of the CRV-Series
Manual (P/N 127500NA).
• To install the heater, as well as the gas and
electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon LLC
recommends the installer contact a local Building
Inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.
• To use the information given in a layout drawing
and in the manual together with the cited codes
and regulations to perform the installation.
• To install the heater in accordance with the
clearances to combustibles requirements.
• To furnish all needed materials not furnished as
standard equipment.
• To plan location of supports.
• To provide access to burners on all sides for
servicing or burner removal.
• To provide the owner with a copy of this
Installation, Operation and Service Manual.
• To never use heater as a support for ladder or
other access equipment and to never hang or

SECTION 2: INSTALLER R ESPONSIBILITY
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
Roberts-Gordon LLC cannot be responsible for
ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are
undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the
responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the
contractor, the sub-contractor, or the owner identifies
nd
the presence of combustible materials, corrosive
chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere
in the premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of
chemical compounds characterized by the
presence of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine,
bromine, etc.). These compounds are
frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents,
solvents, etc. If these compounds enter the air
supply of the burner, the life span of the heater
components will be greatly reduced. An outside air
supply must be provided to the burners whenever
the presence of these compounds is suspected.
Warranty will be invalid if the heater is exposed to
halogenated hydrocarbons.
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes
All appliances m
ust be installed in accordance with
the latest revision of the applicable standards and
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas
and venting installation. Note: Additional standards
for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars,
etc. may be applicable.

CRV-SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATIONAND SERVICE MANUAL
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Keep all flammable objects, liquids and
vapors the minimum required clearances to
combustibles away from heater.
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.
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 5, Figure 3 through Page 7, Figure 11 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
appliance.
• The stated clearances to combustibles represents
a surface temperature of 90° F (32°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 17, Figure 14.
• If the radiant tubes must pass through the building
structu
re, be sure that adequate sleeving and fire
stop is installed to prevent scorching and/or fire
hazard.

Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, injury or property damage.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Tighten gas hose fittings to connect gas
supply according to Figure 27.
SECTION 11: GAS P IPING
There is an expansion of the tube with each firing
cycle. This will cause the burner to move with respect
to the gas hose. This can cause a gas leak resulting
in an unsafe condition if the gas connection is not
made in strict accordance with Figure 27.
Meter and service must be large enough to handle all
the burners being installed plus any other connected
load. The gas hose which feeds the system must be
large enough to supply the required gas with a
maximum pressure drop of 1/2" wc. When gas piping
is not included in the layout drawing, the local gas
supplier will u
sually help in planning the gas piping.
Gas hose can crack when twisted.
Gas hose moves during normal operation.
Use only 36" (91 cm) long connector of 1/2" or
3/4" nominal ID.
Connector supplied with heater for U.S.
models (not with Canadian models).
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, injury or property damage.
Gas lines must meet applicable codes:
United States: The Flexible Stainless Steel Gas
Hose (US models) supplied with the heater is certi-
fied per the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24/CSA 6.10 - latest revision. Canada: The Rubber Type 1 Gas Hose (Canadian
models) optional with the heater is certified as being
in compliance with the Standard for Elastomeric
Composite Hose and Hose Couplings for Conducting
Propane and Natural Gas, CAN/CGA 8.1 - Latest
revision.
• Check the pipe and tubing ends for leaks
before placing heating equipment into
service. When checking for gas leaks, use a
soap and water solution; never use an open
flame.
Install the gas hose as shown on Page 44, Figure 27.
The gas hose accommodates expansion of the
heating system and allows for easy installation and
service of the burner. Before connecting the burners to
the supply system, verify that all high pressure testing
of the gas piping has been completed.

DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electric
before service.
More than one
disconnect switch may
be required to
disconnect electric from
heater.
Heater must be
connected to a properly
grounded electrical
source.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Heaters installed
unvented must be

building exhaust.
Heaters must be installed
according to the
installation manual.
SECTION 13: STARTING THE SYSTEM
Start with the main gas valve closed and the electric
power off.
13.1 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.
13.2 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).
54
mp immediately.
5. Make a preliminary vacuum check at burners in
branches that have an adjustable damper
coupling. See Page 56, Figure 37 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).
13.3 Starting the System
NOTE: During the initial firing, the protective oil on
the tubing may smoke for 30 to 60 minutes and
adequate ventilation should be provided.
1. S t ar t with all temperature setpoints below room
temperature.
2. Open main gas valve.
3. T
urn 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.
13.4 Setting the Vacuum
1. Se t te m p e r at ure setpoints above room temperature. See that all burners are operating properly.
2. Allow at least ½ hour operation for temperature
to normalize, then check system vacuum bal-
ance. Vacuum can be measured by inserting a
manometer hose into the end vent as shown on Page 56, Figure 37. Normal end vent vacuum
should
be set at approximately 2.5'' wc to 3.0'' wc
(hot).
Vacuum adjustments are made by means of the
damper in the pump inlet and the adjustable
damper coupling(s) in the system. Check the
vacuum 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'' w.c. If so, adjust the damper couplings to
maximum but equal vacuum reading. Be sure to
lock all dampers securely after adjustment.
3. Reset temperature setpoints to desired room
temperature.
4. If heat is not required, turn off main switch and
close the main gas valve.

14.1 Sequence of Operation
1. Turn the thermostat up. When the thermostat
calls for heat, the pump will start immediately.
After a short period, the burners will begin their
ignition sequence. Sparking will begin at the
electrodes and the gas valve will be energized
45 seconds later.
2. The flame will be sensed by the flame sensing
rod and the electrode is de-energized.
3. If a flame is detected, the gas valve
remains open. When the call for heat is
satisfied, the burner shuts off. On CRV-Series
systems equipped with the optional ROBERTS
GORDON
GORDON
continue operation for a post-purge period of
two minutes.
4. If no flame is detected, the module will close and
a purge period begins. If a flame is not
established, a second purge and warm-up will
take place and then a third trial cycle will begin.
After three trials, the module will lockout for one
hour or until reset.
5. A reset is accomplished by removing power
from the module for at least 5 seconds
