CONTROL PANEL INDEXING

On an outdoor shelter installation, the exhaust discharges into a vent
pipe. The heater control panel assembly, on top of the jacket, can be
turned to any of six positions for convenient access to the panel, see
Figure
21.
1. Unbolt and separate the jacket halves.
2. Pull hair pin clips.
3. Depress plastic clips on the control panel assembly.
4. Lift panel off of support plate.
5. Turn the assembly to the desired position and snap in place.
6. Make sure that the operating controls can be adjusted without having
to lean over the exhaust vent.
7. Replace hair pin clips.
8. Replace jacket halves and bolts and tighten.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK

Check that horizontal vent pipe runs slope uniformly at least 1/4" per
foot (2cm per meter) to condensate drain(s). No sags, no dips, no high
or low spots.
Check that vent is supported at elbows, tees, and horizontal and vertical
runs according to manufacturer's instructions and code requirements.
Check that vent supports and wall and ceiling penetrations allow free
movements up, down, and sideways without putting any strains on the
heater or vent body.
Check for at least six inch (15cm) free air clearance between the heater
vent pipe and combustible materials.
Check that all joints are completely together and sealed.
In Florida, building codes require that the heater be
anchored to the equipment pad or platform to
withstand high wind pressures created during
hurricanes. A Bolt Down Bracket Kit, P/N 42001-
0085S, see
Figure
22, is available with anchor clamps
designed to hold the unit to the equipment pad in high
wind conditions. Insert the Bolt Down Brackets in
the knockouts in the Lower Enclosure and bolt them
solidly to the pad. Installation of the anchor clamps
are recommended in all installations and are required
in Florida, (See Florida Building Code 301.13).
