SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
The installer is responsible for the following:
• 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.
• To furnish all needed materials not furnished as
standard equipment.
• To plan location of supports.
• To provide access to burners for servicing on all
sides, for burner removal.
• To provide the owner with a copy of this
installation, operation and service manual.
on the burner and in the Installation, Operation and
Service Manual. See Page 5, Figure 3 through Page 8, Figure 12. Write the proper clearance dimensions
in permanent ink according to your model number
and configuration in the open spaces on the tag.
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
• To never use heater as support for a ladder or
other access equipment and never hang or sus-
pend anything from heater.
• To ensure there is adequate air circulation arou
the heater and to supply air for combustion, venti-
lation and distribution in accordance with local
codes.
• To safely and adequately install heater using
materials with a minimal working load of 75 lbs
(33 kg).
• To ensure the heater is placed in a approved
application.
2.1 Wall Tag
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. Please contact Roberts-Gordon LLC
or your ROBERTS GORDON
®
independent
distributor to obtain the wall tag. 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).

Roberts-Gordon LLC cannot be responsible for
ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are
nd
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 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 must 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.

SECTION 3: CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
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.
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 on 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 8, Figure 12 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 clearance to combustible represents a
surface temperature of 90° F (50°C) above room
temperature. Building materials with a low heat
tolerance (suvas,triply, etc.) may be subject to degradation at
lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibil-
ity 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.
ch as plastics, vinyl siding, can-
SECTION 3: CLEARANCESTO COMBUSTIBLES
• 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 sus-
pension requirements
• If the radiant tubes must pass through the building
structure, be sure that adequate sleeving and fire
stop is installed to prevent scorching and/or fire
hazard.

2. The overlap at the first and second reflector is a slip overlap.
Thereafter, every third reflector joint is a slip overlap. A slip
overlap is achieved by either:
a.) both reflectors lay inside a hanger.
(No reflector support needed.)
b.) using a reflector support with
loose screws at the reflector
overlap.
3. The remaining reflector overlaps require a non-slipoverlap connection. To affix the reflectors together in
a non-slip overlap either:
a.) use reflector support and tight screws.
b.) if both reflectors lay inside a hanger, u-clips or

10.2 Central and Satellite Heaters (Zoning Capability)
The heater can be configured so that several heaters
within the same heating zone will modulate
simultaneously with connection to a single heat
demand control device. The heat demand control
device (See Page 44, Section 10.4) will be wired
directly to a single heater configured as the central
heater. The remaining heaters in the zone will be
configured as satellite heaters and will modulate
based on control signaling from the central heater.
Zoning capability allows any CTH3-Series heater
(regardless of input) to modulate based on the signal
from the central heater. During modulation, each
satellite heater will operate at the same percentage

On/Off switch is used to disable heater operation or reset a heater that is in "lockout" mode.
If on/off switch is not desired, leave jumper wire between R and W terminals in place.
10.4 Heat Demand Control Wiring
The heater input can be controlled by any one of the
following heat demand control devices (control
devices are wired to central heaters only):
10.4.1 Zone Sensor
The zone sensor (P/N 10081530) offers automatic
control of heater input. Heater(s) modulates based
on difference between sensed air temperature and
the temperature setpoint. Heater modulation in
response to air temperature changes is immediate.
Setpoint is adjusted with the slide bar adjustment at
the bottom of the sensor. ON/OFF switch (used to
disable heater operation or reset heater from lockout)
is located on the side of the sensor. See Page 39, Figure 22 for wiring details.
10.4.2 Thermostat
A thermostat offers automatic control of heater input.
The heater control is designed for use with a
standard 2-wire or 4-wire low voltage electronic
thermostat (not for use with thermostats that have a
heat anticipator). Typical wiring connects the R and
FIGURE 26: Thermostat Control Wiring Diagram
W wires to the heater control and does not connect
the Y (cooling) and G (fan) wires to the heater
control.
The heater can be used with thermostat, 24V (p/n
90425100) if set to 5 cycles per ho
ur. Any other
electronic thermostat without heat anticipator can be
used if set to 5 or 6 cycles per hour.
On the control, the T24 and T25 (R and W) terminals
supply 24 V to power an electronic thermostat. See Page 44, Figure 26 for wiring details. Consult the
factory for other thermostat wiring configurations.
Heater(s) modulates based on heater and thermostat
cycle timing, history and desired setpoint by using a
pre-programmed algorithm. When using thermostat
control, heater modulation response to rapid air
temperature change is not immediate. Thermostat
control is not recommended for use in areas with
frequent or high air changes.
It is important to note that during normal operation,
heater cycle continues beyond meeting thermostat
setpoint.

10.4.3 Analog Signal Modulating Thermostat (P/N
90425105)
A programmable, 7-day programming, modulating
thermostat can be installed to supply an analog (420mA) or (2-10Vdc with 500 Ohm resistor) control
signal to dictate the heater(s) firing rate. The
thermostat shall energize the T24 and T25 (R and
W) terminals. For thermostat wiring, See Page 49, Figure 29 and Page 50, Figure 30. Optional room
sensors (P/N 10081520) and outdoor air sensors
(P/N 10081521) are available.
Room temperature averaging networks can be
created with up to nine room sensors (P/N
10081520). Refer to thermostat installation
instructions for wiring.

10.4.6 Sequence of Operation for Modulating
Thermostats
The thermostat will control the heater(s) firing rate
based on the demand signal communicated from
thermostat program taking into account space
temperature. The thermostat will energize T25 (W)
terminal. At high heat, a demand signal will turn the
heater(s) on at maximum heater(s) firing rate. Once
the room temperature gets close to the thermostat
set point, then the thermostat program will slow the
heater(s) firing rate down until the room temperature
reaches the thermostat set point.
10.4.5 Analog signal Modulating with BACnet
Programmable Thermostat (P/N 90425109).
®
If BACnet
communication is required, a BACnet®
enabled modulating thermostat can be installed to
supply an analog output (0-10VDC) signal control to
dictate the heater(s) firing rate. For thermostat wiring, See Page 51, Figure 31.

10.4.8 Remote Analog Signal
Remote Analog Signal 0-10 Vdc or 4-20mA output
from external controller or Building Management
System (BMS) directly dictates heater(s) firing rate.
An algorithm must be programmed into the BMS or
external controller to receive zone air temperature
signals from its own temperature sensors and then
deliver an output signal to the heater(s) for the
desired firing rate.
For 0-10Vdc control of the heater(s) firing rate, the
following control conditions apply:
ON/OFF relay at the external controller or BMS must
be wired to R and W terminals on the heater control
board to turn the heater ON and OFF.
Minimum rated input at 1% of signal (0-1Vdc).
Full rated input at 90% of signal (9Vdc).
Input varies linearly between 1Vdc and 9Vdc.

* Separate on/off switch is optional for "satellite" heaters (install at user level). On/Off switch is used to
disable heater operation or reset a heater that is in "lockout" mode. If on/off switch is not desired, leave
jumper wire between R and W terminals in place.
For 4-20mA control of the heater(s) firing rate, the
following control conditions apply:
ON/OFF relay at the external controller or BMS must
be wired to R and W terminals on the heater control
board to turn the heater ON and OFF.
(Open Circuit = OFF, Closed Circuit = ON).
Minimum rated input at 1% of signal (0-4 mA).
Full rated input at 90% of signal (18 mA).
Input varies linearly between 4 mA and 18 mA.
BMS controllers often offer PID loop control that can
optimize output signal and rate of change of the
output signal. Common analog application is defined
as follows:
1. BMS sensors that monitor zone air
temperatures are located in the heating space.
FIGURE 27: Analog Control Signal Wiring Diagram
2. Based on sensed temperatures, the BMS will
output an analog signal for the desired heater(s)
firing rate.
3. As heater(s) receive the analog signal from the
BMS, the heater(s) modulate to the corresponding firing rate.
4. As sensed air temperature rises closer to the
desired temperature setpoint, the BMS will
reduce the output signal, in turn reducing heater
firing rate.
5. Upon satisfying temperature setpoint, the BMS
will either:
a. Tu
rn off the heater.
b. Reduce the signal so that the minimum
heater firing rate is maintained until the
sensed temperature rises above the
setpoint to a cut-off limit temperature when
the BMS turns off the heater.

Disconnect electric
before service.
Heater must be
connected to a properly
grounded electrical
source.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, electric shock, injury or property damage.
11.1 Sequence of Operation
The control inside the heater's control compartment
is equipped with a tri-color LED. The LED offers
comprehensive diagnostic capability. The LED
status will be referenced throughout this section.
1. When the control is powered and there is no call
for heat from external heat demand device, the
LED on the control flashes slow green; LED is
ON for the same period it is OFF.
2. On a call for heat from the heat demand device,
the heater will go to PRE-PURGE. The LED
indicates one green flash. The blower speed will
vary as the pressure switch setpoints are
verified. When the PRE-PURGE is successfully
completed, the heater will go into the
PRE-IGNITION state and power the hot surface
igniter (H.S.I.).
3. After the igniter warms up, the heater will go to
the IGNITION state. Power is supplied to the
gas valve operator, gas flows, ignites and the
flame is proven. The LED shows two green
flashes on the LED. If a flame is not sensed, the
heater will RETRY, See Item 6 below for further
details.
4. When the IGNITION state is completed, the
heater will go to WARM UP state. The unit will
fire at maximum input for 15 seconds. When the
WARM UP state is completed the device will go
into RUN state. The control board will monitor
the heat demand device and modulate the
heater input to meet the demand. The LED still
shows two green flashes.
5. When the call for heat has been satisfied, the
heater closes the gas valve. The blower

continues to run for a 45 second post-purge
period. After the post-purge, the heater turns
OFF and the LED on the control board flashes
slow green.
6. If flame is lost at any time during heater
operation, the heater will RETRY for ignition.
Upon RETRY the LED shows a fast yellow flash
(LED rapidly flashes). The heater will RETRY for
ignition three times. After four ignition attempts,
the heater will lockout for one hour or until reset.
To reset the heater, remove power for 10
seconds, then re-apply power. Turn heater ON with call for heat from the heat demand device.
