0710UPA-AMEN UPA 30 - 90 Gas-fired fan assisted flue unit heater INSTALLATION COMMISSIONING SERVICING These appliances meet the following EC Directives: DIR CE 90/396/EEG:GAD DIR CE 89/336/EEG:EMC DIR 73/23/EEG:LVD DIR 89/392/EEG:MD Please read this document carefully before commencing installation, commissioning and/or servicing.
WARNINGS FOR YOUR SAFETY What to do if you smell gas: • Do not try to light any appliance. • Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building. • Immediately call your gas supplier. •...
General Models UPA 30 through 90 are design certified to the CE EN1020 standard for use in industrial and commercial installations only. All models and sizes are available for use with either natural or propane gas. The type of gas, the input rate and the electrical supply requirement is shown on the heater rating plate.
Units must be installed so that the minimum clearances in the following table are Clearances (mm) provided for combustion air space, inspection and service and for proper spacing from combustible materials. Table 2 : Clearances (mm) Attention : The clearance distance from Model Z (*) the flue system must be...
7. Flue Model UPA heaters may only be installed as Type-B installations. requirements Flue must be in accordance with BS6230 or BS5440. Local requirements may apply in addition to national requirements. These unit heaters are designed to operate safely and efficiently with either a horizontal or vertical flue system when installed with the specific requirements and instructions .

Venter outlet attachment requirements: Flue outlet Depending on the size of the flue pipe as determined in table 5, attach either the flue pipe directly to the collar or a taper-type connector. Flues for power If the air heater is to be installed as a type B appliance, air for combustion will be taken from within the space where the heater is installed.

Type B appliances : Combustion air & flue pipe sockets Figure 5 Figure 4 Mod. 30, 60, 70 & 90 Mod. 40 & 50 Air supply It is important to ensure that there is an adequate air supply at all times for both combustion and heating requirements.
8. Location heater Use the minimum clearances and venting table in section 5 and the throw data in the technical data table of section 6 when determining where to suspend the heater. Recommended minimum height is 2.5m. Remark: Flue requirements may WARNING: If touched, the vent pipe and internal heater surfaces that affect location.
9. Hanging Before suspending the heater, check the supporting structure to verify that it has the heater sufficient load-carrying capacity to support the weight of the unit. Leave the unit on the pallet. If the bottom of the unit is not supported or protected damage can occur.
Page 12
When desired the heaters may be supported by wall brackets. Supporting in this Figure 7 : manner allows the heaters to be placed in close proximity to the ceiling or mounted Wall bracket kits (optional) directly to the vertical supporting structures of the building. There are 2 different wall bracket designs for UPA models as shown in the illustrations below.
10. Gas Piping and Warning : This appliance is equipped for a maximum gas supply pressure pressures of 50 mbar. WARNING : Pressure testing supply piping Test pressures above 50mbar : Disconnect the heater and manual valve from WARNING: All components the gas supply line which is to be tested.
11. Electrical The electrical installation may only be carried out by an appropriately qualified person current to IEE Regulations. The supply line to the heater should include a supply and main switch. The minimum clearance distance between the contacts must be more connections than 3mm.

Ignition Ignition Ignition Ignition Ignition This heater is equipped with a direct spark integrated control relay. The control system system system system system relay monitors the safety devices and controls the operation of the venter motor and the gas valve between heat cycles. Normal Heat Cycle Operating The time line below illustrates a normal heat cycle.
13. Maintenance The material contained in the MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Section of this & Service manual is designed to aid a qualified service technician in maintaining and servicing this equipment. This heater will operate with a minimum of maintenance. To ensure long life and satisfactory performance, a heater that is operated under normal conditions should be inspected and cleaned at the start of each heating season Warning :...
15. Burner This heater has a unique one-piece -CORE ® burner assembly designed to provide Maintenance controlled flame stability without lifting or flashback. The burner can be removed as a unit for inspection or service : see below for removal instructions. Inspect the burner/control compartment annually to determine if cleaning is necessary.

6. Remove burner a) Locate the burner body front support. Remove the screws that attach it to the secondary air shield. Refer to fig. 14 for component defini- tions. Figure 13a b) Holding the venturi tube, slide the entire burner slightly to the right to dis- engage the burner from the supports on the left.
Inspect and clean the burner With the burner assembly removed, shine a flashlight on the burner ribbons. Look for carbon buildup, scale, dust, lint, and/or anything that might restrict flow through the spaces between the burner ribbons. Holding the burner assembly so that any foreign material will fall away from the burner, use a stiff bristle brush to loosen and remove any foreign material(s).

Combustion The combustion air pressure switch ensures that proper combustion airflow is available. The switch senses the differential pressure between the negative air pressure pressure in the flue gas collector box and the pressure in the control section. switch (For switch location, see figure 11b.) On startup when the heater is cold, the sensing pressure is at the most negative level, and as the heater and flue system warm up, the sensing pressure becomes DANGER : Safe operation...
Flue and Check the complete system at least once a year. Inspection should include combustion all joints, seams, concentric adapters and the flue terminal cap. Replace air piping any defective or heavily corroded parts. 25. Trouble- The integrated control relay monitors the operation of the heater. If the shooting heater fails to operate properly, review the flow chart below and see the operating sequence in section 16.
