1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Basic Information
The instructions in this manual apply to Model T Series warm air
heaters. Model TA heaters have an axial fan for air delivery. Models
TB and TE have a centrifugal blower for air delivery and are in-
tended for installation with or without ductwork. Model TE heaters
include a blower cabinet. The T Series heaters are designed for ei-
ther overhead suspension or mounting on a non-combustible sur-
face and are suitable for indoor installation only.
A permanent electricity supply of 230 volts, 50 Hz, single phase is
required for all TA Models. Models TB and TE may use either single
phase or three phase.
Models T Series heaters are approved for:
Type B
- Gravity Vent, Open Flue
11
Category II
- use with G20 natural gas or G31 propane gas
2H3P
Each unit is fitted with a permanent pilot. A thermoelectric flame
supervision device monitors the pilot flame to prevent an explosive
condition occurring.

HAZARD INTENSITY LEVELS
1. DANGER: Failure to comply will result in severe
personal injury or death and/or property damage.
2. WARNING: Failure to comply could result in severe
personal injury or death and/or property damage.
3. CAUTION: Failure to comply could result in minor
personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING: The electrical isolator should only
be used in an emergency and should not be
used for closing down the main burner, as it
switches off the fan prematurely and may
damage the heat exchanger, invalidating the
warranty.
When the required room temperature is reached, the main burner
will shut down leaving the fan running to cool down the heat ex-
changer. When cool enough, the fan thermostat will turn off the fan.
1.2 Warranty
Warranty is void if ...
a. Heater is installed in atmospheres containing flammable
vapours or atmospheres containing chlorinated or halogenated
hydrocarbons or atmospheres containing any silicone, alumi-
num oxide, etc. that adheres to spark ignition flame sensing
probes.
b. The installation is not in accordance with these instructions.
c. Axial fan-type unit heater, is connected to a duct system or
fitted with a non-factory authorised air distribution device.
d. Fitted in the printing industry where fine starch or sugar dusts
are used.
