INSTALLATION

C.1

General Requirements

1. Norseman™ XB heaters are approved for wall or floor
mounting with the terminal housing at the bottom. Ensure
that is the wall sufficiently strong to support the heater
which, depending on the model, could weigh up to 100 lbs
(45 kg). Otherwise use the brackets supplied to stand the
heater on the floor.
2. Do not recess the Norseman™ XB heater into the wall.
Use of the brackets supplied will ensure that the minimum
spacing from the wall of 3.75" (95 mm) is maintained.
3. If more than one heater is being installed, maintain at least
3" (76 mm) between adjacent heater extrusions. NEVER
INSTALL ONE HEATER ABOVE THE OTHER.
4. The Norseman™ XB heater relies on natural convection
and "black heat" radiation to transfer heat to the
surroundings. Try to maintain a 12" (300 mm) clearance
and NEVER LESS THAN 6" (150 mm) clearance in front of
and at the sides of the heater.
5. Use guard rails in front of the heater if there is a possibility
that moving equipment could come in contact with
the heater

3. With the fold in the baffle positioned between the keyhole
fin and the adjacent short fin, slide reflector baffles onto
the back of heat sink.
4. Ensure reflector baffles are secure in place and flush with
the top of the heat sink. If reflector baffles move freely,
open the fold with a screw driver to improve the friction
and reinstall baffles.
CAUTION. The heater's surface is hot when the heater
is energized. Keep all combustibles away from the
heater and maintain the recommended installation
