4.6 Gas Controls - Automatic Ignition
Gas control valves fitted are dependent upon the
model, each giving the same control elements as
follows. See Page 40, Figure 16 through Page 41, Figure 19.
4.6.1 Main Gas Burner
The main gas valve contains
• Gas pressure regulator.
• Two automatic shut off valves.
When commissioned as defined on Page 38, Section 11through Page 43, Section 11.12 the
valves will have a step opening operation on the
main gas.
Settings of the valves are given on Page 42, Section
11.4.2 and in the tables on Page 9, Section 4.4
through Page 10, Section 4.5.
4.6.2 Pilot Gas Burner (Models 340 to 380 only)
There is one solenoid valve to control the pilot
burner gas supply which is designed to operate at
inlet pressure.
4.7 Gas Controls - Manual Ignition
The gas valve contains
• Main gas regulator.
• Safety gas valve controlled by the thermocouple.
• Solenoid valve to operate the main gas.
• Manual control knob and piezo electric igniter.
4.8 Main Fan
The main air moving fan(s) fitted to these heaters
are operated automatically by the fan thermostat
within the combination fan/limit thermostat. When
suitably connected to site wiring (See Page 21, Section 10) the fan(s) may also be used for
distributing unheated air.
Fan Thermostat
The fan thermostat controls the operation of the
main fan during the heater operation. It also ensures
that the main fan continues to run after the burner
turns off.
The white button on the fan thermostat should be
pulled to its “out” position for normal operation. In
the “pushed in” position the fan will run continuously.
Limit Thermostat
The limit thermostat operates in overheat conditions
caused by insufficient air passing over the heat
exchanger. This is a manual reset device and is
reset by pressing in the red reset button on the
thermostat.
4.9.2 Second Limit Thermostat
This is a manual reset device - See Page 7, Section
4.2.
NOTE: On CUHB and CUHC models 340 and 380
there are two of these fitted.
To reset this thermostat:
1. Remove the screw on cover of the thermostat
where it protrudes from the cabinet side.
2. Push in the button in the centre of the
thermostat.
3. Replace the cover.
4.10 Thermocouple Interrupter Relay
Manual ignition heaters are fitted with a
thermocouple interrupter relay to interface between
the limit thermostats and the thermocouple.
The limit thermostats provide a constant voltage to
the coil connections making the relay permanently
energised.
On interruption of the electrical supply to the relay,
the contact opens causing the safety valve to close.
The pilot will then need to be manually lit.
4.9 Limit Thermostats
There are two limit thermostats on these heaters to
protect them from overheating, should the fan fail.
One is within the combination thermostat and the
second is on the side of the heater towards the rear
of the heater.
NOTE: On models 340 and 380 B & C versions
there is a further secondary limit thermostat
protecting the third fan unit.
4.9.1 Honeywell Combination Fan/Limit
Thermostat (See Page 12, Figure 5)
The combination fan/limit thermostat is a dual
function control and safety device. Two of these are
fitted to CUHD versions, the second one is on the
inlet spigot at the rear of the heater.
4.11 Automatic Ignition - Burner Control Box
4.11.1 Description of Burner Control Box
The fully automatic gas burner fitted to all CUHA/A,
CUHB/A, CUHC/A and CUHD/A models is
controlled by a Satronic DKG 972 or a Honeywell S
4563 control box. This control ensures the safe start
and stop sequence and also monitors the safe
presence of a flame. See Page 56, Figure 26.

permitted, but will cause a lower exiting air
temperature. It is recommended that the fan is
positioned to blow the air through the heat
exchanger.
It is important when ducted systems are required
that only the spigots and flanges produced and fitted
by Roberts-Gordon are used at the heater. See Page 5, Figure 4and Page 19, Figure 13. It is
recommended that flexible duct connectors are

SECTION 9: GAS PIPING
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Connect gas supply according to Figure 14, below.
Gas can leak if not installed properly.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
injury or property damage.
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe by the
Gas Supply Company. An existing meter should be
checked, preferably by the Gas Supply Company to
ensure that the meter is adequate for the rate of gas
supply required.
Connect the heater to the gas supply ensuring that
the final connections are as follows:
• Gas supply pipe work is run in medium or heavy
gauge tubing to National Standards terminating
as shown on Page 20, Figure 14.
• An isolating valve and union connection should
be used and fitted into the supply adjacent to the
heater.
• For suspended heaters use an approved metal
flexible connection between the isolating valve
and the heater. To reduce pressure loss, use
one pipe size larger that the supply gas pipe.
IMPORTANT - the complete installation must be
purged and tested for gas soundness in accordance
with National Standards.
L.P.G.
For L.P.G. applications each heater must be
provided with the gas inlet pressure closely
controlled to 37 mbar for Propane (G31) or 29 mbar
for Butane (G30). A suitable regulator controlling the
inlet pressure to each heater will be required for this.

with the burner firing. See Technical Data Tables on Page 9, Section 4.4through Page 10, Section 4.5
for pressure requirement.
Do not continue to adjust the regulator if the
pressure is not changing.
If the inlet pressure is too low to allow correct burner
setting, then gas pressure must be corrected before
completing the commission.
Step Opening (Direct Main Flame Ignition)
It is important that the step opening is adjusted
correctly.This ensures that the burner ignites
smoothly and quietly.
S.I.T. Tandem valves Models 60 to 140
1. Turn off the burner and wait one minute for the
valve to settle.
2. Remove the plastic cover from the step opening breather port. See Page 40, Figure 16.

step open level. Turn on the burner again and
use the step opening adjuster to set the step
opening pressure to approximately 2.5 mbar.
3. Refit the plastic plug to the breather port.
11.4.3 Commissioning the Gas Valves
Liquid Petroleum Gas (L.P.G.)
1. In all cases the gas valves for L.P.G either have
no regulator or have the regulator set to maximum. See Page 50, Section 14.
2. Set the inlet pressure to the gas valve to 37
mbar for G31 (Propane) or 29 mbar for G30
(Butane).
NOTE: The appliance will operate safely between
25-45 mbar for G31(propane) or 20-35 mbar for G30
(butane). The correct heat input is at the specified
inlet pressure. No further adjustment is necessary.
11.5 Manual Ignition Unit Heaters
All CUH manual ignition unit heaters are controlled
by an S.I.T Nova 0.820.054 multifunctional gas

12.8 Simple Fault Finding (all models)
Some possible reasons for the heater not operating
are:
1. Gas supply not turned ON.
2. Electricity supply not turned ON.
3. The time and/or temperature controls are not
“ON”.
4. One or both of the Limit Thermostats may have
operated. This may be caused by an interruption of the electrical supply or failure of the
distribution fan.
If the Limit Thermostats persistently operate, there
is a fault which must be investigated by a contractor
qualified in the installation and service of gas-fired
heating equipment.
If the burner fails to ignite for any reason, it will go to
lockout. This will be indicated by the red light on the
heater or at the remote indicator (if fitted).
1. Wait one minute to reset. Press in and release
the lockout reset button. If a remote reset is not
fitted access this button through the hole in the
electric box cover near the indicator lights.
Lockout should not occur during normal operation of
the heater and indicates there is a fault condition
which must be corrected.
Figure 22: S.I.T. Nova Valve for Manual Ignition, Operation
1. Ensure that the pilot flame is lit. See Page 45,
Section 12.7.
2. Ensure that the control knob of the gas valve is
turned to the main flame position.
3. If the pilot flame fails regularly, ensure that the
electrical supply to the heater is not being interrupted. Electrical interruption for even a few
seconds will cause the interrupter relay to turn
off the pilot.
12.9 Service Requirements
This heater will require servicing annually. When
operating the heater in a dirty or dusty area, more
frequent service may be necessary.

4. Clean any deposits from the main burner which
may have formed in the injectors or venturi of
the burner. See Page 60, Section 16.2.
5. Check the condition of the thermal insulation at
the bottom of the burner compartment and
replace if necessary. The foil face of this
insulation must be complete and unbroken.
WARNING
13.2 Fan/Motor Assembly Maintenance
(all models)
The main fan bearings are permanently sealed and
do not need lubrication.
Before cleaning, turn off gas and electrical supply.
Cut Hazard
Turn off gas and electrical supply before maintenance.
Fan can start automatically at any time.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe
injury or product damage.
NOTE 1: After any maintenance or repair work
always test fire the heater in accordance with the
commissioning instructions on Page 38, Section 11 through Page 43, Section 11.12 to ensure all safety
systems are in working order before leaving the
heater to operate. Minor faults may be traced by

NOTE 2: Check all gas pipes and pipe joints to
ensure there are no cracks or gas leaks. Any cracks
in the pipes or pipe joints must be repaired.
13.1.1 Burner Maintenance
Burner maintenance is similar for manual and
automatic ignition heaters. Where there is a
significant difference, the two types are referred to
separately:
1. Remove the Burner Assembly.
See Page 60, Section 16.1 through Page 62,
Section 16.3.
2. Check condition of the pilot burner (where
fitted), ignition electrode and flame probe (for

have been formed on the thermocouple or
flame probe. Replace as necessary.
with a small flue brush and a vacuum cleaner after removing the burner tray.
48
Remove the fan guards and use a small brush or
duster to clean the fan blades from each side of the
fan(s). Replace fan guards when done.
13.2.1 For CUHB & CUHC Centrifugal Fan
Models
CUHB and CUHC models are fitted with thermally
protected three speed fans. The General Technical
Data Table (See Page 8, Section 4.3) indicates the
number of fans and the standard running speed for
each model.
For CUHC models, the fans may be accessed via
the removable panels in the top, bottom and sides of
the inlet spigot compartment as required.
Do not operate at higher speeds than the original
setting on the heater without prior consultation with
Roberts-Gordon.
The "HIGH" speed option is available to give the
normal required air flow against higher static
pressures and is not intended to be operated free
blowing or against low resistance. Use of the fans
under these conditions may cause the fan thermal
overload to operate and the fan thermostat to cycle.
Where two or three fans are fitted they must all be
operated at the same speed. They will be switched
using a fan contactor built into the heater. See Page 64, Section 16.6.2.
13.3 Heat Exchanger Maintenance
The heat exchanger will remain clean unless a
problem has developed with combustion.
Inspect the heat exchanger. Look for signs of
overheating at the lower edges which may indicate
burner over firing or persistently low air flows. Any
deposits in the heat exchanger may be removed
Page 55
13.4 Gas Control Valve Maintenance (all models)
No regular maintenance is required on these
devices. To change gas control valves, See Page 60, Step 16.1.2and Page 63, Section 16.4.
Do not repair or disassemble on site.
Replace faulty gas valves with genuine

13.5 Manual Ignition
Pilot Drop Out Test
To check that the flame failure device operates
correctly:
1. With the pilot flame lit continuously for at least
ten minutes, turn off the gas isolating valve and
watch the pilot flame.
2. Measure the time taken from the pilot flame
going out until the gas safety valve operates,
which can be felt and heard as a dull click. The
time must be less than 60 seconds.
SECTION 13: SERVICING
If the test fails and more than 60 seconds elapse
before the safety valve operates, the
thermocouple must be replaced. Use only
