1.0) SAFETY

This heater is a self-contained infrared radiant tube heater. Safety information required during installation and operation of this heater is provided in this manual and the labels on the product. The installation, service and maintenance of this heater must be performed by a contractor qualified in the installation and service of gas fired heating equipment.

All personnel in contact with the heater must read and understand all safety information, instructions and labels before operation. The following symbols will be used in this manual to indicate important safety information.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

SAFETY REQUIREMESAFETY REQUIREME

•••• The heater area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable

vapors and liquids.

•••• This heater is designed for use with one type of gas (LPG or Natural). Make sure that the type of gas to be

supplied to this heater matches that shown on the heater rating plate.

•••• DO NOT

DO NOT install this heater directly onto an LPG container or propane cylinder without directions from your

2.0) INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY

The installer is responsible for the following:

•••• The heater and venting, as well as electrical and gas supplies must be installed in accordance with these

installation instructions and any applicable codes and regulations.

•••• Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit

access to the heater.

•••• Each installer must follow the clearances to combustible materials for the heaters.

•••• Install the heater so that the supports and hangers are correctly spaced in accordance with these

instructions. The heater must be supported by materials having a working load limit of at least 115lbs.

•••• Supply the owner with a copy of these Installation and Operation Instructions.

•••• Where unvented heaters are used, gravity or mechanical means shall be provided to supply and exhaust at

least 4 CFM per 1,000 Btu/hr input of installed heaters.

•••• Never use the heater as a support for a ladder or other access equipment. Do not hang anything from the

heater.

•••• Supply all installation materials necessary that are not included with the heater.

•••• Check the nameplate to make sure that the burner is correct for the gas type in the building and the

installation altitude.

3.0) GENERAL INFORMATION

This heater is a self-contained infrared radiant tube heater for use in locations where flammable gases or vapors are not generally present (as defined by OSHA acceptable limits) and is intended for space heating of garages, vestibules and entry ways, workshops, enclosed patios, golf practice ranges and most industrial and commercial applications. DO NOT vehicles.

DO NOT install this heater in residential bedrooms or bathrooms, mobile homes or recreational

The installation must conform to local building codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1. Heaters shall be installed by a licensed contractor or licensed installer. Clearances to combustibles as outlined in this manual should always be observed. In areas used for storage of combustible materials where they may be stacked below the heater, NFPA54 requires that the installer must post signs that will “specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to combustibles.”

Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access to the heater. Each installer shall use quality installation practices when locating the heater and must give consideration to clearances to combustible materials, vehicles parked below, lights, overhead doors, storage areas with stacked materials, sprinkler heads, gas and electrical lines and any other possible obstructions or hazards. Consideration also must be given to service accessibility.

The heater, when installed in aircraft hangars and public garages, must be installed in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 409-latest edition (Standard for Aircraft Hangars), ANSI/NFPA 88a-latest edition (Standard for Parking Structures), and ANSI/NFPA 88b-latest edition (Standard for Repair Garages) with the following clearances:

a. At least 10 feet above the upper surfaces of wings or engine enclosures of the highest aircraft that may be

housed in the hangar and at least 8 feet above the floor in shops, offices, and other sections of hangars communicating with aircraft storage or service areas.

b. At least 8 feet above the floor in public garages. ▲▲▲▲WARNING:

Propane Installation Code).

b. For installation in public garages or aircraft hangars, the minimum clearances from the bottom of the

infrared heater to the upper surface of the highest aircraft or vehicle shall be 50 percent greater than the certified minimum clearance, but the clearance shall not be less than 8 feet.

Although these heaters may be used in many applications other than space heating (e.g., process heating), SunStar will not recognize the warranty for any use other than space heating.

This heater is for Indoor Installation and Covered Patio Installation only and can be used in either Vented or Unvented mode. The term Unvented actually means Indirect Vented. While the products of combustion are expelled into the building, national codes require ventilation in the building to dilute these products of combustion. This ventilation may be provided by gravity or mechanical means.

This heater is not an explosion proof heater.

This heater must not be installed in a spray booth where the heater can operate during the spraying process. Consult your local fire marshal or insurance company.

When ordered for high altitude installations, burners are supplied by the factory ready for high altitude installation. Check the nameplate for altitude before proceeding with the installation. In Canada the adjustment for altitude is made in accordance with Standard CGA 2.17, Gas-Fired Appliances for Use at High Altitudes.

Combustible material must be located outside the clearance dimensions listed.

Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or property damage.

Minimum clearances to combustibles shall be measured from the outer surfaces as shown in the following diagram. For reduced clearances below the heater, use the Deflector Kit (Part No. 43504010), described in Section 6.1), and maintain the minimum clearances specified in the notes below.

9.0) TYPICAL SUSPENSION METHODS

SUSPENSION HAZARD

Burner must be secured to the mounting flange with nuts. All materials used to suspend the heater must have a minimum working load

of 115 lbs. All S Hooks must be crimped closed.

Never use the heater to support a ladder or other access equipment. Failure to do so may result in death, serious injury or property damage.

Various means of suspending the heater can be used. See the following drawings for typical examples.

1. Use only noncombustible materials for suspending hangers and brackets.

2. A minimum No. 2 chain with a working load limit of 115 lbs. is required.

3. Turnbuckles can be used with chains to allow leveling of the heater. All “S” hooks and eye bolts must be

manually crimped closed by the installer.

4. When using rigid means for heater suspension (rod, flat bar, etc.) provide sufficient lengths or swing joints to

compensate for expansion. See Figures b and c.

5. Heaters subject to vibration must be provided with vibration isolating hangers.

6. Heaters must not be supported by gas or electric supply lines and must be suspended from a permanent

structure with adequate load capacity.

SunStar recommends that the tube sections be suspended using chains with turnbuckles. This will allow slight adjustments after assembly and heater expansion/ contraction during operation.

If a “trapeze” method is used for tube support/hanger brackets (shown below), the minimum chain length for the two connecting chains is 36” to minimize any vibration that might be generated by the draft inducer assembly. If these chains must be less than 36”, then do not use the trapeze method and, instead, use individual chains on each tube support/hanger bracket.
