WARNING
Heater Expansion
It is a normal condition that during heat-up and cool-down a radiant
heater will expand and contract. Allowances for heater expansion
must be made in the gas connection and heater suspension. Improper installation, alteration, or adjustment can result in property
damage, injury or death.
WARNING
Gas Connection
Improper installation, connection, or adjustment can result in property
damage, toxic gases, asphyxiation, injury or death. Use an approved
stainless steel flexible gas connector (field supplied) to connect to the
gas supply to the heater in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national codes
(ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada) and as indicated in this manual.
WARNING
Venting
Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon
monoxide poisoning, injury or death. This heater is indirectly vented
from the space. Venting must be in accordance with all local, state,
provincial, and national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada) and as indi-
cated in this manual. Refer to Sections 11 & 12
WARNING
‘Smoke’ & Discoloration Condition
During start-up, the heating of material coatings used in the production process of the heater
may create a small amount of smoke during the initial period of operation. This condition is
normal and temporary .
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to adequately clear any ‘smoke’ from the space.
Notify site management and safety personnel to ensure that alarm system s are not unduly
activated.
Under certain conditions in some locations/environments, surface discoloration may occur on the
heater body where the products of combustion discharge from the heater. The discoloration is due
to the deposit of ambient air borne particulate or gases within the space that have passed
through combustion. The combustion of fuel gas in a clean environment will not cause any
discoloration. Surface discoloration does not affect the operation or performance of the
heater nor the manufacturer’s warranties.

WARNING
Clearance to Combustibles
Location of flammable or explosive objects, liquids or vapors close to the heater may cause fire
or explosion and result in property damage, injury or death. Do not use, store or locate flammable or explosive objects, liquids or vapors in proximity of the heater.
The clearance to combustible material represents the minimum distance that must be maintained between the outer heater surface and
a nearby surface. The stated clearance to combustibles represents a
surface temperature of 90F° (50C°) above room temperature.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that building materials
with a low heat tolerance which may degrade at lower temperatures
are protected to prevent degradation. Examples of low heat tolerance materials include vinyl siding, fabrics, some plastics, filmy materials, etc.
In locations used for the storage of combustible materials, signs must be posted to specify the
maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to
the combustibles. For your convenience, a sign is supplied with this heater - see page 8 for details. Such signs must either be posted adjacent to the heater thermostats or in the absence of
such thermostats in a conspicuous location.
In addition to stored or stationary material, consideration must also be given to moveable objects such as cranes, vehicles, and overhead doors, and structural objects such as electrical
and gas lines, electrical fixtures, and sprinkler heads.
Heaters must be located an appropriate distance from sprinkler heads. This distance may be
greater than the certified clearance to combustibles. Check the temperature rating of the sprinkler heads and locate heaters at a safe distance - in some instances the sprinkler heads may
need to be replaced by higher temperature heads.
It is beyond the scope of these instructions to consider all conditions that may be encountered.
Consult local authorities such as the Fire Marshall, insurance carrier, or safety authorities if you
are uncertain as to the safety or applicability of the proposed installation.
Refer to Figure 1 and Table 1 NEXT PAGE for the certified clearances to combustibles
for the appropriate model input/size.

The clearance to combustible materials represents the minimum distance that must be main-
tained between the heater and a nearby surface. The stated clearance to combustibles
represents a surface temperature of 90F° (50C°) above room temperature.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that building materials with a low heat toler-
ance which may degrade at lower temperatures are protected to prevent degradation.
Examples of low heat tolerance materials include vinyl siding, fabrics, some plastics,
filmy materials, etc.
WARNING
In locations used for the storage of combustible materials signs
must be posted specifying the maximum permissible stacking height to
maintain the required clearances from the heater to the combustibles.
The signs must be posted either adjacent to the IR heating system thermostats or in the ab-
sence of such thermostats, in a conspicuous place.
For your convenience a “peel and stick” sign is provided with this heater.
Use a permanent marker to record the required dimensions on the sign.
To calculate the value ‘H’ ( Maximum Material Stacking Height):
Maximum Material Stacking Height: H = T (distance from heater to floor) minus C (the com-
bustibles clearance below the heater)
or H = T - C
Measure the on-site distance between bottom
of the heater and the floor = ‘T’ inches (cm).
Refer to Table 1 to get the value ‘C’ (clearance
to combustibles below heater) that corresponds
to the model you are installing
Subtract the clearance below the heater ‘C’
from ‘T’ to get value ‘H’ (maximum material
stacking height).
Enter this value ‘H’ on the sign with permanent
marker.
Then, for the heater model/size being installed,
refer to the information in Figure 1 and Table 1
to get the values for dimensions ‘S’, ‘F’ and ‘B’
(F and B are for ‘angle mounted’ heaters only).

8. VENTILATION
WARNING
Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon monoxide
poisoning, injury or death. Heating system venting must be in accordance with
all local, state, provincial, and national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA;
B149.1 in Canada).
This heater is approved for unvented (indirect venting) application. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation to supply combustion air and to dilute the products of combustion in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national codes. A balanced exhaust / inlet air system
is required to ensure that a negative air condition is not created. See below for a summary of
exhaust capacity requirements by the national codes in the U.S.A. and Canada.
Air Supply: “Loose” buildings may not require any additional air supply if infiltration rates are
sufficient. However, for “tighter” buildings, or if air movement is stagnant in an area, air can
typically be supplied via inlet(s) with an area of 1 sq. in. per 1,000 Btuh input (22 sq cm per
kW). Locate air inlet(s) up at the level of the heaters to avoid cold drafts at work level, and effectively supply combustion and dilution air to the heaters and balance the system.
Heater Zoning: Exhausters are sized according to the input requirements of each controlled
zone of heaters. Multiple smaller zones are usually more effective in both comfort and ventilation control than one large zone. Maximum zone size is limited by the total input that can be
handled by the capacity of an exhauster, and by the proximity of the exhauster to heaters in the
zone.
Exhauster Location & Proximity: Exhaust must be located as high as practicable in the
structure above the level of the heater(s) to effectively dilute and remove the warm (rising)
products of combustion. The exhauster should be as centrally located as practicable in the
zone of heaters. Schwank recommends a maximum 6:1 ratio of the horizontal distance between the exhauster and the furthest heater in a zone, to the height the heaters are mounted
above the floor . For example, if heaters are mounted 20 ft above the floor, then the exhaust
fan should be located no more than 120 ft from the furthest heater in the zone. Sufficient air
supply must be provided.
Exhauster Capacity:
USA
: Natural or mechanical means shall be provided to supply and exhaust at least
3
/min/1000Btuh (0.38m3/min/kW) Natural Gas input of installed heaters [4.5ft3/
4ft
min/1000Btuh (0..43m
3
/min/kW) Propane input]. Some local codes may require an interlock to a dedicated exhaust fan. Consult your local code and ANSI Z223.1 latest edition
for all venting requirements and practices.
Canada
: It is required that the heater(s) be electrically interlocked to dedicated exhaust
fan(s) by means of an Air Proving Switch. Exhaust fan(s) must be sized to create 300
cfm (8.5 cu m/min) exhaust for every 100,000 Btuh (30 kW) or any fraction thereof of
total input of installed equipment. Provide combustion and ventilation air supply compatible with exhaust volume . Consult the latest edition of CSA.B149.1 Section 7.22.

Incorrect installation and connection of gas lines
may results in fire, explosion, property damage, injury or death
Do not install any gas piping or wiring in the heat zone directly above the heater.
Do not subject heater controls to leak test pressures when checking the main supply piping.
A. Gas piping must be sized to provide adequate input capacity to all heaters and appliances
in the system and at the pressure indicated in Table 3 below.
IMPORTANT:
Minimum supply line pressure at the inlet to the heater regulator must not be lower than 6.0 inches of water column pressure for natural gas and 11” w.c. for propane. The gas supply pressure must be
checked with all heaters in operation.
B. Provide a 1/8 in (3.2 mm) NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, im-
mediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the heater.
C. It is recommended to install an approved flexible connector between the heater and gas
piping - available as option from Schwank or from your local supplier.
D. A drip-leg prior to the inlet connection to the heater must be provided in the gas line.
E. On propane-fired units, a main line filter is recommended.
F. Piping joint compounds must be resistant to the action of natural gas or LPG
G. TEST FOR LEAKS: Apply soap suds solution to all connections and joints and if bubbles
appear, leaks have been detected and must be corrected. DO NOT USE A MATCH OR
OPEN FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST FOR LEAKS. NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER
WITH LEAKING CONNECTIONS. Leak test according to local or national codes.
DO NOT use pressure greater than 1/2 psig to pressure check the heater.
The supply system should be checked first with heater turned “OFF” followed by another
check with heater turned “ON”.
WARNING
GAS CONVERSION
This heater may be field converted from one fuel gas to another (natural gas to or
from LPG). Conversion must be accomplished with a kit available from the manufacturer. Contact your local distributor for the kit that is specific to the model installed. Conversion may include changing of the air restrictor as well as the ori-
fice and gas valve spring. Follow the instructions supplied with the conversion kit.

Multiple heaters in a zone are powered by a single transformer. The proper transformer is 24
Volt AC, 60 Hz, sized at 40 VA for the first heater plus 20VA for each additional heater in the
zone - round up the calculated value to the next higher available sized transformer. For example, four heaters in a zone require a transformer of : 1 x 40VA + 3 x 20 VA = 100 VA . It is not
recommended to install more than 12 heaters per zone.
PROPER WIRING POLARITY MUST BE MAINTAINED, particularly when grouping the heaters
in a zone. Total wiring distances of up to 200' must use minimum 16 gauge electrical wire, and
wiring distances of over 200' must use minimum 14 gauge electrical wire. The heater must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local and national electrical codes. Malfunction of the
heating system will result if the voltage varies by more than +10% or -10%.
The heater can be controlled by a line voltage thermostat, a 24 volt thermostat or “off-on”
switch. Total load of all heaters must be considered in determining the required contact rating
of the controlling thermostat or switch.

11. INSTALLATION
A. Properly size and install ventilation as per Section 8, gas supply as outlined in Section 9,
previous page, and electrical supply as per Section 10 above.
B. Ensure adequate clearance around air openings into the combustion chamber
C. Suspended infrared heaters shall be fixed in position independent of gas and electric supply
lines. Hangers and brackets shall be of non-combustible material. Heaters subject to vibration shall be provided with vibration-isolating hangers. Suspension hardware must be of
adequate capacity to support the weight of the heater - see Table 4
D. Mount heaters to structure by using non-combustible mounting hardware such as that illus-
trated in FIGURE 4.
E. Mounting at an angle of up to 30° on short axis (long axis level): see Figure 5
FIGURE 4: TYPICAL MOUNTING HARDWARE (supplied by others)
Rotate on the short axis only - long axis must always be horizontal
The ‘center of gravity’ of the heater allows angle mounting up to 30°
Fasten suspension hardware through holes at each end and each side of the heater
body—see Figure 5 below, and Figure 6 next page

3/8” rod with bolt and nuts
Other suitable brackets / hardware
2. Insert open Jack Chain link or ‘S” hook from the outside edge through the top hole at each end and each
side of the heater body.
Alternate: secure chain to heater with a nut and bolt
through the four top holes
3. Use pliers to secure in place by crimping the chain link
or ‘S” hook into closed position.
4. Adjust suspension hardware lengths for horizontal
or angle mount (up to 30°)
G. In locations used for the storage of combustible materials, signs shall be posted to specify
the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain required clearances from the heater
to the combustible materials. SEE PAGE 8
H. Connect heater to the main gas line. To absorb gas line expansion, heater expansion, and/
or any vibration from the building it is recommended to use a 1/2" stainless steel flexible
connector correctly sized to handle the gas capacity of the heater (available as option from
Schwank or your local supplier) . The flexible gas connector must be formed into a smooth
‘C’ shape from the gas supply to the heater inlet.
I. Mount thermostat at desired location, away from direct infra-red rays of heater. If the ther-
mostat is located on a cold wall, place sufficient insulation behind the thermostat.
J. Test gas line for leaks by using gas pressure test and/or soap test and as per all local and
national codes. Ensure gas pressure meets the requirements outlined in Section 9.
K. When testing the main gas line pressure, ensure the gas shut-off valve is “OFF”, oth-
erwise damage to the combination gas valve can result.
L. Test fire the heating system by following the lighting instructions on page 19 and on heater.

19. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR HONEYWELL S87C DSI CONTROL
1. On a call for heat the S87C DSI Control will check for a false flame condition / short to
ground. The module will lock out if a false flame condition is present. (Reset is usually done
from the Thermostat manually).
2. Spark (30,000 volts) is generated at the spark igniter, for direct ignition of the main burner.
The Honeywell S87C DSI control has a total 21 second trial for ignition
For example, if it takes 7 seconds to establish ignition, then there are a total of 14
seconds remaining for ignition re-trial(s) should flame failure occur
The control will go into lock-out once the total 21 seconds are used up
Manual reset at the thermostat or power source is required to re-establish ignition
trial
3. Main gas control valve is powered and opens lighting off the main burner.
4. Separate flame sensor, relays the presence of burner flame back to the DSI control by a
rectified dc voltage signal. (TFI period)
5. If the flame-sense dc signal is a minimum of 1.5 µA (microamps) the gas valve remains
open, flame remains established and the DSI control discontinues the ignition spark.
6. If flame fails, the DSI will re-trial for a period up to a total of 21 seconds. Flame will be confirmed with a minimum signal strength of 1.5 µA microamps back to the DSI Control. Failing
this the DSI will go into the safety lockout mode and close the gas control valve. (Reset of
the control is manually done from the Thermostat or power source).
7. On a loss of power the S87C shuts the system down safely. Start up / trial for ignition is initiated when power is restored.
20. SPARK IGNITION CIRCUIT
The step-up transformer in the ignition control provides spark ignition at 30,000 volts (open circuit). To check the spark ignition circuit, proceed as follows.
1 Shut off gas supply to the gas control
2 Disconnect the ignition cable at the ignition control stud terminal to isolate the circuit from
the spark igniter or igniter/sensor
3 Prepare a short jumper lead, using heavily insulated wire such as ignition cable
CAUTION In the next step, DO NOT allow fingers to touch
either the stripped end of the jumper or the stud terminal.
This is a high voltage circuit and electrical shock can result.
4 Perform this test immediately upon energizing the system before the ignition control goes
into safety lockout and interrupts the spark circuit. Touch one end of the jumper firmly to the
ignition control GND terminal. (DO NOT remove the existing ground lead.) Slowly move the
other end of the jumper wire toward the stud terminal on the ignition control to establish a
spark.
5 Pull the wire away from the stud and note the length of gap at which spark discontinues.
6 A spark length of 1/8 in. (3mm) or more indicates satisfactory voltage output. If no arc can
be established, or the maximum spark is less than 1/8 in. (3mm), and power to the ignition
control input terminals was proved, replace the ignition control.
