4.3.1 Remove the packaging/protection from the Radiant Tubes and ensure that they are clear internally. It is recommended that the appliance be suspended in sections, which are joined by the use of a Torctite Coupling once in position. 4.3.2 Place one Radiant Tube and one Radiant Tube Assembly (containing turbulator) on trestles, providing 150mm minimum clearance above the floor and assemble two Hanger Brackets to both the Radiant Tube and Radiant Tube Assembly, using one 'U' bolt per bracket (from fastenings pack).

4.3.5 Place a Torctite Coupling over the open end of the Radiant Tube carrying the Control Box ensuring that it engages fully, up to the stop. Assemble the second Radiant Tube into the Torctite Coupling ensuring that it engages fully, up to the stop with the Hanger Brackets aligned with those of the first Radiant Tube section (see Fig.
Page 24
4.4.1 R emove the packaging/protection from the Radiant Tubes and ensure that they are clear internally. It is recommended that the appliance is suspended in sections which are joined by the use of Torctite Couplings once in position. 4.4.2 Place one Radiant Tu be (long), one Radiant Tube (short) and one Radiant Tube Assy (containing turbulator) on trestles providing 150mm minimum clearance above the floor, and assemble the five Hanger Brackets to the Radiant Tubes and Radiant Tube Assy using one'U' bolt per bracket (from fastenings pack).

4.4.5 Place a Torctite Coupling over the open end of the Radiant Tube carrying the Control Box ensuring that it engages fully, (up to the stop). Assemble the centre (short) Radiant Tube into the Torctite Coupling, ensuring that it engages fully (up to the stop) and with the Hanger Brackets aligned with those of the first Radiant Tube section (see Fig.
4.4.14 Using twin core and earth PVC covered flexible supply cable, (as specified in Section 3.3.2, suitable for 230V~50Hz 125W supply), connect the two remaining 3 pin electrical sockets provided (fastenings pack) as follows:- Brown (Red) to terminal marked L Blue (Black) to terminal marked N Green/Yellow...
Checking Gas Pressures 5.3.1 Switch off the electricity supply to the zone or system. 5.3.2 Connect a manometer to the test nipple protruding from the rear panel of the Control Box (adjacent to the Air Inlet Adaptor) see Fig. 19. 5.3.3 Open the Control Box door after releasing the two toggle latch es.
Pressure Test Nipple Manometer Left (Gas In) Pressure Test Nipple Manometer Tube RIGHT (Gas Out) Test Nipple Pressure Governor Adjuster Fig. 19 5.3.5.4 Upon obtaining the correct burner setting pressure switch off the electricity supply to the appliance, remove the screwdriver, replace the plug into the boss in the control box door and open the door. Remove the manometer tube from the RIGHT (Gas OUT) Control Valve test nipple and screw in the test nipple sealing screw.
Duplex Fan 6.1.1 Disconnect the electrical socket on the fan leads from the plug (marked 230V~50Hz mounted on the terminal box attached to the Fan Adaptor. 6.1.2 If a flued installation, disconnect the flue from the fan. 6.1.3 Slacken the screws of the Torctite Couplings securing the two Fan Connectors to the Radiant Tubes and draw the Duplex Fan off the Radiant Tubes.
6.2.6.2 In the case of an appliance having a ducted air supply, it will be necessary to disconnect the flexible ducting from the Air Inlet by first releasing the hoseclip. 6.2.6.3 If it is necessary to remove the Air Inlet to adequately clean the Baffle Plate it will be necessary to replace the gasket seal (see section 7.10 - Replacement Parts).
Electrodes Note: This range of radiant tube heaters employs a single probe electrode system whereby both the spark generation and flame supervision operations are carried out via a common electrode. The second electrode provides the earth path for the ignition spark. The two electrodes are identical, therefore either lead (grey HT or green/yellow - earth) may be connected to either electrode.
Twin solenoid Control Valve 7.8.1 Remove the Ignition Control (see section 7.3) and the Burner (see section 7.5) and disconnect the gas supply pipe from the Control Box, leaving the R - ½ nipple screwed into the Control Valve elbow flange. Unscrew the two M4 setscrews securing the Valve Bracket to the floor of the Control Box and lift out the Control Valve Assembly.
Conversion from cat 3+ (LPG) to cat 2H (Natural Gas) 8.2.1 Remove the Injector from the Injector Fitting (see Section 7.6) and replace it with the alternative Injector supplied (fastenings pack). Check that the si ze reference marked on the Injector agrees with that listed in the Technical Data table (Section 1) for the appliance model in question.
