FROSTFIGHTER WARRANTY Frost Fighter Inc. warrants the Frostfighter heater to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of twelve (12) months from date of initial service not to exceed fifteen (15) months from date of shipment.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL INDIRECT FIRED CONSTRUCTION HEATER HAZARD DEFINITIONS The following will be used throughout this manual to bring attention to hazards and their risk factors, or to special information. DANGER Denotes presence of a hazard which, if ignored, will result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY The burner requires combustion air and ventilation air for reliable operation. Assure that the Building and/or combustion air openings comply with National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/CSA B149. For appliance/burner units in confined spaces, the room must have an air opening near the top of the room plus one near the floor, each with a free area at least one square inch per 1000 Btu/hr input of all fuel burning equipment in the room.
VENT SYSTEM The flue gas venting system must be in good condition and must comply with all the applicable codes. OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS: For outdoor installation vent cap must be installed and fastened. INDOOR INSTALLATIONS Must be done in accordance to NFPA 54 (or CSA B1 9) with local authorities having jurisdictions. 1.

HORIZONTALLY VENTED UNITS Pressures in Category 111 venting systems are positive and therefore care must be taken to avoid flue products from entering the heated space. Use only vent material and components that are UL listed and approved for Category 111. WARNING: Do not use Type B vent within a building on horizontally vented units.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY - Verify that the power supply & connections available are correct for the unit. All power supplies MUST be grounded. - All power must be supplied through the POWER SUPPLY RECEPTACLES and through the POWER SELECTOR / DISCONNECT SWITCH - The selector / disconnect switch has three positions OFF / 1 PHASE / 3 PHASE.

FUEL LINE CONNECTIONS & PRECAUTIONS CONNECTING THE OIL SUPPLY / RETURN LINES Install the oil tank lines in accordance with all applicable codes. Use continuous lengths of reinforced fuel rated hose routed away from and protected from traffic, where possible. Install a high quality shut-off valve in an accessible location on the oil supply line.
Page 14
Optional Single Supply Line System for Remote Fuel Tanks - When using remote fuel tanks in areas where there may be traffic or heavy equipment passing over the fuel lines, it is critical that the lines are completely protected from possible damage or rupture. - For extra safety in installations requiring remote fuel supplies that must not use a return line and thereby eliminating the possibility of spills due to fuel line damage, an optional Tigerloop single line system with integral return and safety oil valve on the supply tank is available.
PUMP PRESSURE The pump pressure is 140 PSI to 150 PSI for the IHS700P. The pump pressure is checked and adjusted on the side of the pump. (See page 10 Two-pipe oil flow)
AIR SETTING The air settings should be set to 6 on the band and 8 on the air shutter. In some cases these air-setting may need to be adjusted especially if a different size nozzle is installed. For field setup a Bacharach smoke tester can be used to obtain a reading of between zero and #2 smoke.
MAINTENANCE / SERVICE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE WARNING Operation and adjustment of the burner requires technical knowledge and the use of combustion test instruments. Do not tamper with the burner or controls. Failure to comply could result in failure or the burner or system, resulting in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

INSTALL NOZZLE Install the oil nozzle in the nozzle adaptor. Use a open-end wrench to steady the nozzle adaptor and use a 5/8”open-end wrench to turn the nozzle. Tighten securely but do not over-tighten. Ensure the nozzle being installed has the correct specifications as those shown on page 4 and is sized to account for the ambient temperature conditions that the heater will be operated in.
A high quality synthetic wide temperature range grease is recommended. Under most circumstances the fan bearings of the IHS700P will be operating within the 1500-2800 RPM range and will be at temperatures at or below 120°F - 130°F. Therefore typical lubrication frequency of the bearings will be every 2 to 5 months.

TENSIONING V-BELT DRIVES 1. Ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load conditions. 2. Check tension frequently during the first 24-48 hours of operation. 3. Over-tensioning shortens the belt and bearing life under-tensioning reduces belt life and will decrease performance and waste energy.
1PH/3PH power selector switch. The display on the R7284 control will show “STANDBY” and the PLC display will read “FROST FIGHTER – IHS700P OIL - STANDBY MODE". 2. The PLC in the control panel controls power to the Limit terminal on the R7284 from PLC output Q2 and the main blower fan operation through the VFD from PLC output Q3.

TYPICAL SEQUENCES OF OPERATION AND DISPLAYS...
HIGH LIMIT ALARMS The PLC in the IHS700P monitors the high limit switch circuit providing a visual indication that one or more of the high limit switches has open contacts which will normally be caused by a high limit temperature event. A count is also recorded each time one of the high limit switches has opened from such an event which provides information regarding possible problems which could be causing these high limit events such as restricted air flow cause by excess ducting lengths or obstructions in the air path.
