Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in product damage.
SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
• To install the heater, as well as the gas and electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon
recommends the installer contact a local
building inspector, Fire Officer or insurance
company for guidance.
•To use the information given in the manual
together with the local and national codes to
perform the installation.
• To install the heater in accordance with the
clearances to combustibles of this heater.
•To furnish all needed materials not furnished
as standard equipment.
• To plan location of supports, flues and air
intakes.
•To provide access to burners for servicing.
•To provide the owner with a copy of this
installation, commissioning, operation and
service manual.
•To never use heater as support for ladder or
other access equipment and never hang or
suspend anything from heater.
• To ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the
area to comply with the requirements of
all relevant local and national codes.
• To safely and adequately install heater using
materials with a minimal working load of 33 kg.
• To ensure the heater is placed in an approved
application.
2.1 Clearances to Combustibles
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. 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 heater (e.g.
®
thermostat or ROBERTS GORDON
Controller).
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91040029) is illustrated
on the back cover. 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. Write
the largest clearance dimensions with permanent
ink according to your model number and
configuration in the open spaces on the tag.
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
Roberts-Gordon 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 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 lifespan of the heater components will be greatly reduced. Warranty will be invalid if
the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes
All appliances must be installed in accordance with
the latest revision of applicable standards and local
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.

SECTION 3: CLEARANCESTO COMBUSTIBLES
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Keep all flammable objects, liquids and
vapours 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 fire hazards. Caution should be used when running the system near combustibles.
Combustibles are materials, which may catch on fire
and include common items such as wood, paper,
rubber, fabric, etc. Maintain clearances to
combustibles at all times for safety.
Clearances around the heater and flue must be as
indicated on Page 6, Figure 3, to ensure access for
servicing, and correct operation. If clearances to
combustibles are not indicated, then installation
clearances apply.
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 petrol or other combustible materials
including flammable objects, liquids, dust or
vapours a
ance.
• The stated clearances to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 32°C (90° F)
above room temperature. Building materials with
a low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl sid-
ing, 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 equip-
ment and workstations.
• Maintain clearances from vehicles parked below
the heater.
• Maintain clearances from swinging and over-
head doors, overhead cranes, vehicle lifts, parti-
way from this heater or any other appli-
tions, 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.
• Consu
Carrier or other authorities for approval of pro-
posed installation when there is a possibility of
exposure to combustible airborne materials or
vapours.
• Hang heater in accordance to the minimum
suspension requirements on Page 10, Section 6
and Page 11, Figure 4 through Page 12, Figure
5.
• Affix the tag on a wall near the heater.

SECTION 4: CRITCAL CONSIDERATIONS
4.3 Electrical Supply
DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electric before service.
Heater must be properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death or electrical shock.
A permanent 230 V 50 Hz 1Ø electrical supply is
required at the main electrical terminals. The heater
also requires suitable energy controls in accordance
with Section 10.
4.4 Flue
Choose heater siting to allow for the proper location
of the flue. Each heater must be fitted with an
individual and correctly sized sealed flue system
(See Page 13, Section 7).
No other appliance may be connected to the flue.
For room sealed installation, the air intake must be
the same size sealed system and the flue/air intake
must terminate at an approved concentric wall or
roof terminal.
It is important that the gas supply pipe is sized
correctly to provide the inlet pressure as stated on
the heater data plate. The gas supply pipe and
electrical connections must not support any of the
heater's weight.
