Installation
Do not install unit heaters in corrosive or flammable atmospheres! Premature failure
of, or severe damage to the unit will result!
Note: IMPORTANT!
Avoid locations where extreme drafts can affect burner operation. Unit heaters
must not be installed in locations where air for combustion would contain
chlorinated, halogenated or acidic vapors. If located in such an environment,
premature failure of the unit will occur!
Since the unit is equipped with an automatic gas ignition system, the unit heater must
be installed such that the gas ignition control system is not directly exposed to water
spray, rain or dripping water.
Note: Location of unit heaters is related directly to the selection of sizes. Basic rules
are as follows
Figure 4.Heater location
GHND-SVX01A-EN • High Efficiency Propeller Fan Gas Unit Heater11
Installation
MOUNTING HEIGHT: Unit Heaters must be installed at a minimum of 8 feet (2.4m)
above the floor, measured to the bottom of the unit. At heights above 8 feet (2.4m), less
efficient air distribution will result. Occasionally unit heaters must be mounted at
heights of 12 to 16 feet (3.7 to 4.9m) in order to clear obstacles. When this is the case, it
is advisable to use centrifugal blower unit heaters.
AIRCRAFT HANGARS: Unit Heaters must be installed in aircraft hangars and public
garages as follows: In aircraft hangars, unit heaters must be at least 10 feet (3.1m)
above the upper surface of wings or engine enclosures of the highest aircraft to be
stored in the hangar and 8 feet (2.4m) above the floor in shops, offices and other
sections of the hangar where aircraft are not stored or housed. Refer to current ANSI/
NFPA No. 409, Aircraft Hangars. In Canada, installation is suitable in aircraft hangars
when acceptable to the enforcing authorities.
PUBLIC GARAGES: In repair garages, unit heaters must be at least 8 feet (2.4m) above
the floor. Refer to the latest edition of NFPA No. 88B, Repair Garages.
In parking structures, unit heaters must be installed so that the burner flames are
located a minimum of 18 inches (457mm) above the floor or protected by a partion not
less than 18 inches (457mm) high. However, any unit heater mounted in a parking
structure less than 8 ft. (2.4m) above the floor must be equipped with an OSHA
approved fan guard. Refer to the latest edition of NFPA 88A, Parking Structures.
In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the latest edition of CGA-B149
“Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment.”
AIR DISTRIBUTION: Direct air towards areas of maximum heat loss. When multiple
heaters are involved, circulation of air around the perimeter is recommended where
heated air flows along exposed walls. Satisfactory results can also be obtained where
multiple heaters are located toward the center of the area with heated air directed
toward the outside walls. Be careful to avoid all obstacles and obstructions which could
12High Efficiency Propeller Fan Gas Unit Heater • GHND-SVX01A-EN

Unit heaters should not be installed to maintain low temperatures and/or freeze
protection of buildings. A minimum of 50°F (10°C) thermostat setting must be
maintained. If unit heaters are operated to maintain lower than 50°F (10°C), hot flue
gases are cooled inside the heat exchanger to a point where water vapor (a flue gas byproduct) condenses onto the heat exchanger walls. The result is a mildly corrosive acid
that prematurely corrodes the aluminized heat exchanger and can actually drip water
down from the unit heater onto floor surface. Additional unit heaters should be
installed if a minimum 50°F (10°C) thermostat setting cannot be maintained.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION: The Unit Heater shall be installed in a location in which
the facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion of gas, proper
venting, and the maintenance of ambient temperature at safe limits under
normal conditions of use. The Unit Heater shall be located in such a manner as not
to interfere with proper circulation of air within the confined space. When buildings are
so tight that normal infiltration does not meet air requirements, outside air shall be
introduced per Sections 1.3.4.2 and 1.3.4.3 of ANSI Z223.1 for combustion requirements.
A permanent opening or openings having a total free area of not less than one square
inch per 5,000 BTU/HR. (1.5 Kw) of total input rating of all appliances within the space
shall be provided.
GHND-SVX01A-EN • High Efficiency Propeller Fan Gas Unit Heater13
Installation
Clearances:
Note: Unit heater sizing should be based on heat loss calculations where the unit
heater output equals or exceeds heat loss. Heater output is approximately 80%
of input BTU/HR. rating.
Each Gas Unit Heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other
equipment so as to permit access to the Unit Heater. Clearance between walls and the
vertical sides of the Unit Heater shall be no less than 18 inches (457mm). A minimum
clearance of 6 inches (152mm) must be maintained between the top of the Unit Heater
and the ceiling. The bottom of the Unit Heater must be no less than 12 inches (305 mm)
from any combustible. However, in order to ensure access to the burner compartment,
a minimum distance of 21 inches (533 mm) is required. The distance between the flue
collector and any combustible must be no less than 6 inches (152mm). Also see AIR
FOR COMBUSTION and VENTING sections.
Note: Increasing the clearance distances may be necessary if there is a possibility of
distortion or discoloration of adjacent materials.
Note:
IMPORTANT! Make certain that the lifting methods used to lift the heater and
the method of suspension used in the field installation of the heater are capable
of uniformly supporting the weight of the heater at all times.
Make certain that the structure to which the heater is mounted is capable of supporting
its weight. Under no circumstances must the gas lines, the venting system or the
electrical conduit be used to support the heater; or should any other objects (i.e. ladder,
person) lean against the heater, gas lines, venting system or the electrical conduit for
support.
Unit heaters must be hung level from side to side and from front to back. Failure to do
so will result in poor performance and or premature failure of the unit.
Insure that all hardware used in the suspension of each unit heater is more than
adequate for the job. Refer to figures1-5 and dimensional data per table 1 for
suspension of units.

1.Find the cu ft/hr by using the following formula:
Cu ft/hr = Input
Btu per Cu ft
2. Refer to Table 1. Match “Pipe Run in Feet” with appropriate “Gas Input - Cu Ft/Hr”
figure. This figure can then be matched to the pipe size at the end of the column.
Example: It is determined that a 67 foot (20.4m) run of gas pipe is required to connect a
200 MBTU gas unit heater to a 1,000 Btu/cu. ft (0.29 kW) natural gas supply.
200,000 Btu/hr = 200 Cu ft/hr
1,000 Btu/cu ft
Using Table 1, a 1 inch pipe is needed.
Note: See General Safety Information section for English/SI (metric) unit conversion
factors.
Note: If more than one gas unit heater is to be served by the same piping arrangement,
the total cubic feet per hour input and length of pipe must be considered.
Note: If the gas unit heater is to be fired with LP gas, see Table 3 or consult the local LP
gas dealer for pipe size information.

Operation
POWER VENTED PROPELLER UNITS INTERMITTENT (SPARK) PILOT IGNITION
EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS:
1.The unit heater is equipped with a power venter system consisting of a power
venter motor and blower, pressure switch, and sealed flue collector in place of the
conventional draft diverter.
Note: IMPORTANT! The addition of external draft hoods or power ventors is not
permitted. Addition of such devices may cause severe unit malfunction or
failure!
2. The power venter motor is energized by the room thermostat on a call for heat. The
pressure switch measures the flow through the vent system and energizes the
indirect spark ignition system when the flow is correct.
Note: IMPORTANT! The pressure switch MUST NOT be bypassed. The unit MUST NOT
be fired unless the power ventor is operating.
3. The indirect spark ignition system consists of an ignition control module, a dual
combination valve, and a spark-ignited pilot burner. When the pressure switch
closes, the pilot valves opens and a spark is generated to light the pilot burner.
When flame sensing circuit senses that the pilot flame is established, the main gas
valve is opened to supply gas to the main burners. When the thermostat is satisfied,
the vent system is deenergized and both valves are closed to stop all flow of gas to
the unit.
4. The limit switch interrupts the flow of electric current to the main gas valve in case
the heater becomes overheated.
5. The fan switch delays the operation of the fan until the heater is warmed, then
keeps the fan running after the gas has been turned off until the useful heat has
been removed. The startup fan delay must not exceed 90 seconds from a cold start.
6. The wall thermostat (supplied optionally) is a temperature sensitive switch which
operates the vent system and the ignition system to control the temperature of the
space being heated. It must be mounted on a vibration free, vertical surface away
from air currents, in accordance with the instructions furnished with the thermostat
(also refer to Electrical Section).

Gas Input Rate
GAS INPUT RATE
Operation
Check the gas input rate as follows (Refer to general safety section for metric
conversions/SI units):
Note:
1.Turn off all gas appliances that use gas through the same meter as the unit heater.
2. Turn gas on to the unit heater.
3. Clock the time in seconds required to burn one cubic foot of gas by checking the gas
4. Insert the time required to burn one cubic foot of gas into the following formula and
3600 (Sec. Per Hr.) x Btu/Cu. Ft = Input Rate
Time (Sec.)
IMPORTANT! Never overfire the unit heater, as this may cause unsatisfactory
operation or shorten the life of the heater.
meter.
compute the input rate.
For example, assume the Btu content of one cubic foot of gas equalled 1000 and that it
takes 18 seconds to burn one cubic foot of gas.
3600 x 1000 = 200,000 Btu/Hr.
18
Note: If the computation exceeds or is less than 95 percent of the gas Btu/hr. input
rating (see Specifications), adjust the gas pressure.
Gas Pressure Adjustments
Adjust the gas pressure as follows:
1.NATURAL GAS: Optimum results are obtained when the unit heater is operating at
its full input rating with the manifold pressure of 3.5 inches W.C. (0.9 kPa).
Adjustment of the pressure regulator is not normally necessary since it is preset at
the factory. However, field adjustment may be made as follows:
a. Attach manometer at pressure tap plug adjacent to the control outlet.
b. Remove regulator adjustment screw cap, located on combination gas valve.
c. With a small screwdriver, rotate the adjustment screw counterclockwise to
decrease or clock- wise to increase pressure. Do not force beyond stop limits.
d. Replace regulator adjustment screw cap.
2. PROPANE GAS: An exact manifold pressure of 10.0 inches W.C. (2.5 kPa)must be
maintained for proper operation of the unit heater. If the unit is equipped with a
pressure regulator on the combination gas valve, follow steps “a” through “d”
above. If the unit is not so equipped, the propane gas supply system pressure must
be regulated to attain this manifold operating pressure.
3. The adjusted manifold pressure should not vary more than 10% from the pressure
specified in the Main burner orifice schedule table.
