SECTION 3: CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS
3.1 Basic Information
Cabinet heaters are supplied with burners suitable
for on/off operation as standard. As an option, oilfired burners are available with two-stage operation
and gas-fired burners are available with full
modulation.
3.2 Location and Suspension
All models:
• Are designed to be installed indoors within the
heated space. Special versions are available for
installation outdoors.
• Are designed for floor standing vertical installation.
• Must be installed in a manner which allows all
the upper panels and either of the lower side
panels to be removed to provide access to all
serviceable components.
• Must be placed on a firm, level, non-combustible
surface that can support its weight. See Page 5, Section 4.1 for weight details.
Horizontal models:
• Special versions supplied with steel channels to
support the heater are available and may be
mounted horizontally. When installed horizontally, the heater will normally lie on its left side
when viewed from the burner. The same clearances and comments on panels must be used,
except for the side the heater lies on.

indicated on Page 4, Figure 1 and Page 13, Figure 4 through Figure 5 to ensure access for servicing, and
correct operation.
3.4 Clearances to Combustibles
Clearances must be as indicated on Page 4, Figure
1. If no clearances to combustibles are indicated,
then installation clearances apply.
3.5 Ventilation
It is important to ensure adequate air circulation
around the heater to supply air for combustion,
ventilation and distribution in accordance with local
and national codes.
3.6 Fuel Supply
It is important that the fuel supply pipe is sized
correctly to provide the inlet pressure as stated on
the heater data plate. The fuel supply pipe and
electrical connections must not support any of the
heater's weight.

NOTE: The air setting is a guide only. The final setting is subject to combustion testing.
When setting the minimum firing rate, a check must be made following the setting of the burner combustion. The
check is made by running the heater on low fire for a minimum of 15 minutes at the full transport air rate and at typical
ambient conditions. During the test, check that the flue gas temperature does not fall below 125° C. Should the flue
gas temperature fall below 100° C, then the low fire gas setting must be increased to a value that will achieve 125° C
flue gas temperature; otherwise condensation may form in the heat exchanger and flue, causing rapid corrosion and
short operational life.
NOTE: For adjustment of head setting, see Ecoflam Instructions.

SECTION 7: AIR SUPPLY
7.1 Air Supply
It is important to ensure adequate air supply at all
times for both combustion and heating requirements
in accordance with BS 6230 for UK installations and
the latest revisions of applicable standards and local
and national codes.
7.2 Isolated Equipment Rooms
Ventilation must prevent the temperature of isolated
equipment room from exceeding 32°C as well as
prevent any negative air pressure within the room.
Any isolated equipment room containing air heaters
will require permanent air vents direct to outside air
in compliance with local codes.
Where natural ventilation is used, suitable
permanent openings at low and high levels,
communicating directly with the outside air, must be
provided.
Where mechanical ventilation is used, extract rate
must be 5% - 10% less than the inlet rate. The
mechanical ventilation must be interlocked with the
burner on the heater.
SECTION 7: AIR SUPPLY
The main fan requires a minimum free air return
path of 1 m
2
per 197 kW of heater output or 0.33 m2,
whichever is greater.
NOTE: When heaters are installed in the horizontal
mode and connected to distribution ducting and/or
inlet ducting, then the natural convected air flow
through the heater, before the main fan turns on may
be disrupted.
To ensure correct operation of the fan under these
circumstances, in all COMBAT
®
cabinet heaters
designed for horizontal mounting, the main fan will
operate in conjunction with the burner sequence by
the use of a time delay or direct acting relay.
It is strongly recommended that when any heater is
connected to installation ducting, a similar approach
to the fan control is used. Any such control must be
in parallel with the fan thermostat so that the fan
"run on" feature is still able to operate (See Page 22, Section 9.5).
7.2.1 Heaters Installed Within the Heated Space
Where the volume of the heated space is greater
than 4.7 m
3
per kilowatt of total rated heat input and
the air change rate is at least 0.5/h, additional high
and low level ventilation will not be required.
For a building having an air change rate less than
0.5/h, ventilation will be necessary in accordance
with local and national codes.
7.3 Building Ventilation
Where ventilation is required, air must be taken from
an outside point where it is not likely to be
contaminated or obstructed.
7.4 Distribution Ducting
Duct should be full size for at least twice the minor
dimension before change of direction or reduction of
area.
7.5 Return Air Ducting
In installations employing recirculation or fresh air
ducting, this ducting shall comply with the following:
1. There shall be an unobstructed air path connected directly to the heater.
2. The return air or fresh air shall be connected by
ducting directly to the air inlet on the heater.
3. Where automatic or manual dampers are provided for operational adjustment in these ducts,
they shall be proved in the correct position during the operation of the burner.

8.2 Fuel Oil Supply
8.2.1 Fuel Storage Tank
The fuel storage tank should be located outside the
building as close as possible to the heater. The tank
must be installed per local and national codes.
8.2.2 Fuel Pipes
The fuel pipes must be sized to ensure an adequate
supply of oil to the entire installation. Galvanised
pipe must not be used for oil installations. The fuel
pipe must terminate at each heater with an isolating
manual valve, a fire valve and a fuel filter. See Page 12, Figure 3. The fusible link of the fire valve should
be installed 100 mm (4 in) above the burner.
The heater’s oil burner pump inlet is provided with a
flexible oil line which should be used for the final
connection. When making the final connection to the
heater, do not block any of the removable panels of
the heater. All COMBAT
®
oil-fired cabinet heaters are
supplied with burner pumps fitted for one pipe
systems.
8.2.3 Gravity Feed Systems
The simplest installation is a gravity feed system.
This system relies on the head of the fuel to push
the fuel through the system. See Page 12, Figure 3.
8.2.4 B. M. Oil Lifter
Where a gravity feed system cannot be used, a B.
M. oil lifter may be used for small installations up to
the equivalent of a single model 050 on minimum lift
or a single model 020 on maximum lift.
The fuel output from the oil lifter is gravity fed.
The B. M. oil lifter requires a constant 230 V 50 Hz
1 Ø electrical supply. The maximum pipe size to be
used on the suction side is 1/4" ID, 5/16" OD (8
mm). For maximum loading of oil lifters See Page 17, Figure 11. Consult the manufacturer’s information
regarding the need to prime these devices.
8.2.5 Pressurised Systems
See Page 18, Figure 12. For larger installations, a
pressurised system may be used. In this type of
system the pump draws fuel from the tank, then
pushes it through the installation under pressure.
The pressure is controlled at the pump by a
pressure relief valve at approximately 0.8 BAR (12
psi). When a presurised system is used, a pressure
reducing valve set at approximately 0.3 BAR (5 psi)
should be installed on the fuel inlet to each heater
after the manual isolating valve. This protects the oil
pump from the danger of possible over pressure
under fault conditions.
The electrical supply for the pump installation will
depend upon the type of pumps chosen, but will
normally be set to run continuously.

SECTION 9: WIRING AND ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electrical shock.
9.1 Electrical Supply
A 230 V 50 Hz 1 Ø supply is required for all heater
Models 015 to 030 connected to the heater terminals
L1, N and Earth.
Standard models 040 to 0100 and all High Flow
models require a 400 V 50 Hz 3 Ø and neutral
supply connected to the heater terminals L1, L2, L3,
N and Earth.
All heaters and controls must be correctly earthed.
All external wiring must comply with the relevant IEE
and local regulations and be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
It is important that "L and N" polarity is correct for
these heaters, as incorrect polarity may prevent the
burner control box from operating properly. It is also
important that the voltage between N and earth is at
0 V and can never exceed 15 V.
An isolator with a contact separation of at least 3
mm on all poles should be installed adjacent to the
heater, but not attached to it, to disconnect all
supplies to the heater and where necessary to
isolate the remote control panel.
The final connection to the heater should be made in
metal sleeved flexible cable or flexible conduit to the
main terminal block under the front lower panel of
the heater using 1 sq. mm cable. Model 0100 and
High Flow models with 5.5kW or 7.5kW motors use
1.5 sq. mm cable. Cable entry is provided into the
rear horizontal frame of the cabinet.
9.2.2 Positioning Room Thermostats or
Roberts-Gordon Control
A room thermostat or Roberts-Gordon control
should be mounted on a wall or column at a height
of approximately 1.5-1.8 metres from the floor to
measure the ambient temperature. It should be clear
of both cold draughts and the direct path of warm air
from the heater.
9.2.3 Remote Frost Thermostat
When required, connect to terminals 2 and 3 in the
main terminal block.
Locate the thermostat within the heated space
adjacent to the most vulnerable equipment that
requires protection.
See Page 20, Section 9.3 through Page 27, Section
9.10.
9.2.4 Controls for High/Low Burner Operation
For heaters with a high/low burner, the controls will
need to provide two stage signal to operate these
burners. This is best provided by a two stage
thermostat.
The thermostat may control the heater outlet
temperature if the heater is designed for a duct
distribution system or the room temperature.
The site wiring will be across terminals 2 and 3 for
any time control and the on/off function of the burner
(stage two), and across terminals 7 and 8 for the
high fire (first stage) setting.
The burner will then operate as follows:
Temp. from cold up to
the 1st set point ..................... Full fire at max. rate
Temp. above 1st set point
up to 2nd set point................. Low fire at min. rate
Temp. above 2nd set point ...............................Off.
SECTION 9: WIRINGAND ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
9.2 Remote Controls
The heater is designed to be operated by controls
installed remotely from the heater. See Page 20, Section 9.3. through Page 27, Section 9.10.
9.2.1 Burner Controls (Thermostat)
Controls to operate the burner must be voltage free
contacts connected between terminals 2 & 3 of the
main terminal block.
9.2.5 Controls for Fully Modulating Burners
For heaters that incorporate a fully modulating
burner, a special temperature control is provided
with the heater. On-site wiring of the temperature
sensor is required with any time control.
The heater will normally be controlled by the
temperature of the air in the outlet duct, but it is
possible to control on room temperature.
The position of the sensor in the outlet duct is
determined on site. Using a themometer, select a
position in the outlet duct approximately 1 m from
the heater, across the cross section of the duct that
provides a reasonable average of the temperatures
found. Mount the sensor at this position for best
results.
When operating at reduced heat input, the leaving
air temperature may be low when controlled on room
temperature.
The time control and any other on/off controls will be
across terminals 2 and 3. The sensor will be
connected to terminals 8 and 9.
The operation will occur in the following sequence:
1. The burner will fire. When the burner sequence
reaches the release to modulation stage, the
control will begin to monitor the outlet
temperature.

order, operate the heater for the first time with the
isolating gas valve turned off.
1. Turn off the gas isolating valve
2. Using the installed external control, turn on the
burner. The automatic sequence will now begin
as described on Page 35, Figure 14.
There will be no ignition of the burner and lockout
will occur, which proves the controls are operating
correctly.
See Page 34, Section 10.2.5 and repeat until
the burner fires.
10.2.4 Initial Setting
NOTE: Skip this step for models 015 to 030.
Once firing, the start gas pressure should be set to
the value given in the Data Tables for the burner
type and the model concerned (see the burner
reference letter on data plate). This is carried out by
turning the governor adjusting screw (accessed
under the black push-on cover) clockwise to
increase pressure, or counter clockwise to decrease
pressure.
10.2.5 Set Gas Rate
1. Switch off and refit the main gas valve plug
(removed earlier to allow the main gas valve to
operate).
2. Switch on again and allow the burner to fire and
to settle for a few minutes.
3. Adjust the main gas burner pressure to the
value given in the relevant Data Table for the
model concerned using the Main Gas Regulator (accessed under the swivel cover). See Page 37, Figure 17.
The results of setting the gas flow rate by using
burner pressure only can lead to quite wide
variations in heat input due to the nature of the
burners used.
NOTE: If the correct burner pressure cannot be
reached, then check the inlet pressure to the valve,
with the burner firing. See Technical Data Tables on Page 8, Section 4.5 for inlet pressure requirements.
Do not continue to adjust the regulator if the
pressure is not changing.
If the inlet pressure is too low to allow the correct
burner pressure setting, then the gas inlet pressure
must be corrected before completing the
commissioning.
10.2.3 Fire the Burner for Dungs Combination
Gas Valves
1. Open the gas isolating valve.
2. Connect a suitable pressure gauge to the
burner pressure test point.
3. On models 040 or larger, to ensure that start
gas only may pass to the burner, remove the
gas valve electrical plug for the main gas valve.
4. Reset the lockout button of the control box and
the burner should now fire. If lockout should
occur when the start gas valve energises (or
34
the main gas valve for models up to 030),
repeat 3 or 4 times. If after several attempts the
burner does not fire, then turn the start gas
governor adjusting screw (or main gas governor for models 015 to 030) 3 turns clockwise.
10.2.6 Check Gas Rate
It is important to check that the gas rate set during
the commissioning is within ± 5% of the required
flow rate.
This may be achieved by checking the gas flow to
the heater wherever possible by using the gas meter
and timing the flow through the meter. The results
should be compared with the required flow rate for
the model given in the Data Tables, adjusting the
burner pressure to correct for any error.
Checking the gas rate must be carried out with all
other appliances including any pilots, turned off.
1. After burner pressure adjustment, allow the
heater to operate for at least 15 minutes and
then re-check settings.
2. Remove the manometer and refit all covers to
the valve and tighten the screw of the outlet
pressure tap.

10.3 Control - Gas-Fired Heaters
For High/Low and modulating burners, follow the
general sequence as described below and also
have extra functional stages related to air damper
positions. Refer to the burner manufacturers
instructions for further detail. Gas burners have only
one pressure switch, which is configured to cover
combustion air and reaction to increases in
combustion chamber pressure.
10.3.1 Description of Gas-Fired Heater Control
®
The gas fired burner fitted to all COMBAT
cabinet
heaters is controlled by a full sequence plug-in
control. This control ensures the safe start and stop
sequence and also monitors the safe presence of a
flame and burner air pressure.
Models 015 - 030 are wired for direct ignition of the
main flame. All other models are wired for ignition of
a start gas flame as the first stage and then the main
gas flame as the second stage.
10.3.2 Sequence of Operation
1. With the external controls on calling for heat,
and the pressure switch at rest, the burner fan
will switch on after the control does a "self
check".
Figure 14: Gas-Fired Heater Control Box Sequence
SECTION 10: COMMISSIONING
NOTE: If the pressure switch contacts (normally
closed) are open, the heater will not start.
2. The combustion air fan turns on and the pressure switch contacts close within the next 5
seconds to indicate sufficient combustion air or
lockout will occur.
3. The sequence continues with a purge period
with the burner fan running.
4. The electrical ignition switches ON at the end
of the purge period.
5. The start gas valve opens (main gas valve for
015 - 030) and once a flame has been established, this remains open until close down. The
flame probe is now continuously monitoring for
the safe presence of flame.
6. Five seconds later, the electric ignition turns off,
leaving the start gas flame to be proved as stable.
7. The start gas runs for ten seconds, then the
main gas valve opens. The control is now in its
normal run position
10.3.3 Motor Starter and Thermal Overload
On belt-driven models, the motor is controlled by a
direct on-line contactor starter fitted with thermal
overload protection. If the thermal overload
operates, the main fan will not run. To reset, press
the reset button on the overload unit.
NOTE: For models with a 5.5 kW motor or larger, the
direct on-line starter will be replaced by a automatic
starter.
The overload should be set to indicate
approximately 0.2 A above the normal running
current of the heater. See Page 8, Section 4.4.
10.3.4 Burners
For details of the packaged burners, see the
manufacturer’s instructions and Page 8, Section 4.5 through Page 9, Section 4.6. When reading the data
tables, ensure that the correct table for the burner
and gas valve installed is being used. The data
tables are listed under a burner reference letter
which can be found on the heater data plate.

Figure 17: Dungs Gas Valve
SECTION 10: COMMISSIONING
10.4 Gas Valves
Dungs Combination Gas Valve
All model 015 - 030 gas-fired burners operate as
direct main flame ignition and have no separate start
gas train. All other models operate with a first stage
start gas flame supplied from a start gas train
containing a start gas pressure regulator and two
safety shut-off valves, for all gas types.
The main gas is released at the second stage, and
the combination main gas valve block contains a
main burner pressure regulator and two safety shutoff valves, for all gas types. See Page 37, Figure 17.
For high/low or modulating burners, the Dungs gas
valve has extra features because it is an air/gas ratio
control valve. Please refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for setting the controls.
10.4.1 Start Gas Valves
Where fitted, the start gas valve train is fitted with a
pressure regulator and two start gas safety shut off
valves. The start gas regulator is used to adjust the
burner firing rate during the start gas phase of these
models.
10.4.2 Main Gas Valves
See Page 37, Figure 17 for the position of the burner
pressure regulator. This must be used to set the
burner pressure indicated in the data tables in
Section 4.
For high/low or modulating burners, the Dungs gas
valve has extra features because it is an air/gas ratio
control valve. Please refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for setting the controls.
10.4.3 Throughput Adjuster
These valves have a throughput adjuster fitted to the
second main gas valve. See Page 37, Figure 17.
This will be factory set at fully open on new
appliances and need no further adjustment. When
replacing a gas valve, ensure that this device is set
in the fully open position by releasing the locking
screw and turning the "V MAX" fully counterclockwise towards the "+" and then retightening the
locking screw.
10.4.4 Rate of Opening
The slow opening adjustment can be seen on Page
37, Figure 17. This device is a hydraulic damper
which slows down the rate of opening of the second
main gas valve to give a smooth main gas ignition.
This is preset at the factory at the slowest setting
and will need no further adjustment. If a new valve is
fitted, then remove the plastic screw on top and with
a small screwdriver turn the "V Start" screw fully
clockwise towards the "-" and refit the plastic cover.
10.5 Combustion Testing (all models)
Combustion quality must be tested to prove correct
heater operation. Incorrect results will indicate faults
with the installation or appliance.
Combustion testing must be carried out with all
covers in place. The flue gas is sampled in the flue,
within 1 meter of the heater. The values of CO
2
should be between 9.5% and 10.0% for natural gas
and 11% for LPG, depending upon the model.
The CO will be up to 80 ppm (0.008%) dry, air free,
depending upon the model. Temperature rise of the
flue gases above ambient should be approximately
160°C to 180°C. Seal the test hole in the flue after
testing.
To alter combustion performance, open/close the
combustion air damper to reduce or increase these
values. Once adjusted to the optimum combustion
setting, lock the air damper into position. Repeat the
steps in Section 10.2.6.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Use extreme caution while commissioning.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electrical shock.
10.5.1 Pressure Switch
Setting of the pressure switch must only be
carried out as part of a complete commission
which includes combustion testing.
Remove the cover of the pressure switch. With the
burner firing, turn the pressure switch dial to the
setting indicated for that model and burner. See Page 8, Section 4.5through Page 9, Section 4.6.
10.5.2 Complete the Commissioning
Ensure that all covers are fitted correctly and all test
points are properly sealed.
10.6 Commissioning the Burner (Oil Heaters)
Check all valves between the fuel tank and the
heater are open, including the fire valve.
Ensure that oil is available at the heater inlet and
that the air has been vented from the fuel pipe
installation. Vent the air by opening the bleed screw
on top of the fuel filter. On pressurised systems,
check that the installation is running at the correct
pressure. B.M. oil lifters will need priming.
10.6.1
Ensure that the burner head and air damper settings
are adjusted for the correct burner and that the
correct atomising nozzle is fitted. See Page 10, Section 4.7 and the burner reference number on the
data plate.
10.6.2 Preparation for Burner Pressure Test
Attach a pressure gauge 0-15 BAR (0 - 200 psi) to
the burner pump pressure test port. (See
manufacturer’s information). A test manifold gives
you the facility for the connection of the pressure
gauge and the venting of the pump.
10.7 Control - Oil-Fired Heaters
For High/Low oil burners, follow the general
sequence as described below and also have extra
functional stages related to air damper positions.
Refer to the burner manufacturer’s instructions for
further detail.
10.5.3 High/Low and Modulating Burners
After setting the minimum burner input and
combustion, the following check must be made:
Run the heater on low fire for a minimum of 15
minutes. Check the flue gas temperature. If the flue
gas temperature falls below 125° C, increase the low
fire gas setting until the temperature reaches 125° C,
otherwise condensation may form.
Figure 18: Oil-Fired Heaters Control Box Sequence
10.7.1 Description of Oil Fired Heater Control
The oil fired burners fitted to the heater are
controlled by a fully automatic control and
photoelectric flame monitor unit. This control
ensures the safe start,
ignition and stop sequence and also monitors the
flame. If the flame should fail the control will go into
"lockout". The button on ther front of the control will
illuminate to indicate lockout. Press the button to
reset the control to restart the burner firing cycle.
38
Page 45
SECTION 10: COMMISSIONING
10.7.2 Sequence of Operation
The operating sequence is as follows:
With the external controls on and calling for heat,
the burner fan and electric ignition will switch on.
After a combustion air purge of approximately twelve
seconds, the oil solenoid valve will open and the
burner will fire. After another five seconds, the
electric ignition is turned off and the burner will go
into its normal run position. The photo cell
continuously monitors the safe presence of the
flame. When the temperature control is satisfied, the
control box will turn off all its outputs simultaneously
and return to the rest position for the beginning of
the next sequence.
10.7.3 Fault Display Messages
On burner failure, the red LED is permanently
illuminated for a period of approximately 10
seconds, followed by a brief “dark phase”, then one
of the following flash-codes will indicate the cause of
the fault. See Table 1 and Table 2. This indication
will repeat as long as the lockout reset button is not
reset.

10.7.4 Fault Conditions
If at any stage during normal running the photo
electric cell fails to detect the flame, the control will
switch off and make an instant restart attempt. If the
flame signal is still missing, “lockout” will occur.
If the flame is not detected by the photo cell during a
normal start, there will be no restart attempt and
“lockout” will occur in approximately 17 seconds
after the start.
If a flame is detected during the first 12 seconds
(purge), the solenoid valve will not open and the
control will “lockout”. For the control sequence, see Page 38, Figure 18.
10.7.5 Switching On
Turn on the heater with the external controls. (Heat
ON). If the "Lockout Reset" button is illuminated,
press to reset. The combustion air fan and electric
ignition should work immediately. Vent the burner oil
pump at the same time by loosening the pump vent
port (pump must be running). If the burner goes into
"lockout" before the pump has vented, wait one
minute, then reset the control box and repeat 10. 7.5
until all the air has been vented from the pump and
the burner fires.
NOTE: The burner plug and socket may be used to
turn off the burner during commissioning.
10.7.6 Adjust Burner Oil Pressure
Adjust the burner oil pressure to the value in the
data table for the burner reference letter and burner
manufacturer’s information for details of the burner
oil pump. When completed, turn off burner and
remove test gauge and refit plug.
10.7.7 Set Combustion Air
The combustion air must be set. Measure the
emissions in the flue at a point within one metre from
the outlet of the heater and adjust for the highest
carbon dioxide (CO
) levels obtainable, usually 10.5
2
- 11.0%, while making little or no smoke (smoke
number 0-1). The test must be carried out with all
covers fitted and after the heater has been running
for 15 minutes.
10.7.8 Complete the Commissioning
Test the burner for correct start and stop operation
several times. Check that all safety devices operate
correctly. Inspect the heater for any oil leaks and
repair where necessary.
10.8 Turning Off the Heater (all models)
Set the external controls to the “off” position and the
main burner will stop. The fans will run until they are
stopped automatically by the fan thermostat.
Do not use Electrical Isolator for control of
heater. The Electrical Isolator will switch off the
fan. The heat exchanger could be damaged. The
Warranty will not cover damage to the heat
exchanger if operated improperly.
10.9 External Controls
External controls may include a time switch, room
thermostat and frost thermostat. Operate each
control to ensure that they function correctly. Set the
time switch (if fitted) and room thermostat to the
user’s requirements.

The flame supervision system is different for gas-fired and oil-fired heaters but may be tested in a
similar way.
Gas-fired heaters use a rectification flame probe to monitor the flame.
Oil-fired heaters use a photo sensitive cell to monitor the flame.
To connect a suitable meter into the circuit to monitor the flame signal current, disconnect one of the
wires to the monitor (there is only one for gas-fired).
Connect a suitable DC ammeter between the terminal just disconnected and the wire taken from it.
Should the meter read backwards, then reverse its connections.
Readings should be approximately as follows(For further details see burner manufacturer’s
