6 INSTALLING Check the supporting structure to verify that it has sufficient load‐carrying capacity to support the unit weight. WARNING Suspend the heater only from the threaded nut inserts. Do not suspend from the heater cabinet panels. Do not place or add additional weight to the suspended heater. The location where the air heater is to be installed must provide sufficient space around the heater for servicing and clearances for safety (see figure 2). When the unit is lifted for suspension, leave the unit on the pallet. Before hanging verify that all screws originally used to fix the shipping supports are re‐screwed into the cabinet. Ensure that the heater is installed in a level plane and vibration free. The air heater must be fastened securely to any base mounting arrangement. The heater is supplied with four point suspension. All points must be used. Threaded nut inserts are provided on each side of the top of the heater. See figure 4. After suspension the air heater should be rigid so as to avoid placing a strain on the flue system, gas services, electrical wiring and duct work. 1” BSP mounting cap nuts are optional. In case of a type C installation, the distance between the floor and the underside of the air heater must be at least 1.70m. Combustion air should be taken from a height that exceeds the above mentioned height of 1.70m. Also thermostats and switches which are not sparkless have to be installed at a minimum height of 1.70m. Figure 4 Be sure that the threaded hanger rods are locked to the heater as illustrated in ...
7 AIR SUPPLY & FLUE SYSTEM 7.1 GENERAL The flue must be in accordance with all international and national rules and regulations in force. Local requirements may apply in addition to national requirements. Failure to provide proper flueing could result in death, serious injury and/or property damage. The products of combustion must be flued to outside atmosphere. Common flues (for more WARNING than one appliance) must not be used. Single wall flue pipe exposed to cold air or run through unheated areas should be insulated to avoid condensation. If the flue passes through a combustible element of the building it must be enclosed by a sleeve of non‐combustible material and separated from the sleeve by at least a 25mm air break. The temperature of any combustible material near to the flue must not exceed 65°C when the heater is in operation. The flue must be at least 50mm away from any combustible material. Provision must be made for condensation to flow freely to a point to which it can be released, i.e. drain. odel ULTRA/ULTRA EC heaters may be installed as type B or type C installations. The unit heaters are designed to operate safely and efficiently with either a horizontal or vertical flue system when installed according to the specific requirements and instructions. If this heater is replacing an existing heater, be sure that the flue is of the correct size and that the existing flue is in good condition. A correctly sized flue system is required for safe operation of the heater. An improper sized flue system can cause unsafe conditions and/or create condensation. ...

COMMISSIONING, LIGHTING & OPERATION Final testing after production ensures that, if the installation has been carried out strictly in accordance with this document, the appliance is ready to be taken into service. 11.1 LIGHTING 1. Ensure that the air discharge louvres are open. 2. Turn on the gas supply. 3. Switch on the electrical supply. 4. Set the room thermostat to ‘ON’ position. 5. If the indicator light on the burner relay glows and/or the room thermostat display flashes, press the reset button. 6. The burner will now automatically light after about 15 sec and within 60 sec the air circulation fan will run. 7. If the installation is new, 3 start‐up cycles may be necessary due to air still being present in the gas pipe. Should the air heater still not light, refer to section 12 : ‘Fault Finding’. 8. The gas pressure must correspond to the data in table 1. If the gas pressure (G20) is higher than 60mbar, a pressure regulator with constant terminal pressure must be installed. If the gas pressure is lower than 20mbar/17.50mbar, check the supply pipework to ensure it is correctly sized. 11.2 OPERATION During start up all gas services (up to the gas meter) must be checked again for gas soundness to Attention ensure no leaks are present. The condensation drain pipe and siphon, both already filled with water, must be visually tested for water tightness. 1. If, for any reason, the burner flame is extinguished during a run cycle, an automatic attempt for re‐ignition will take place. If the burner does not relight, safety shut down and lockout will occur. Manual intervention to reset ...

Ignition system – time table Definitions Start position The system is not in lock‐out position and can proceed with the start‐up sequence upon a demand for heat. Pre‐purge time This is a period of 20 sec during which the combustion fan operates prior to activation of the ignition device. Safety time The safety time is the delay between the gas valve being energised and the flame sensor checking for the presence of a flame. This is a period of 5 seconds. Note : if no flame is sensed, the burner relay will attempt ignition 5 times before going into lock‐out mode. Post‐purge time This is the time of 10 seconds between burner shut‐down and the moment the combustion fan (venter) is de‐energized. 1701ULTRA(EC)GBEN, p. 21/29...
