1. Safety Install and Operate Gas-Fired Equipment Properly Fuel supply should be installed by a qualified gas technician and must meet local and state codes for gaseous fuel supplies. Disconnect and lock out all fuel sources before servicing equipment. Explosive Gases Prepare for Emergencies Be prepared if fire starts.
2. Decals The GSI Group recommends contacting your local power company, and having a representative survey the installation so the wiring is compatible with their system, and adequate power is supplied to the unit. If a decal is damaged or missing, contact: GSI Decals 1004 E.
3. Heater Installation Machine to Earth Ground It is very important that a machine to earth ground rod be installed at the fan. This is true even if there is a ground at the pole 15' away. This ground needs to be as close to the fan as possible, but no more than 8' away.
3. Heater Installation Proper Installation of the Ground Rod (Continued) 5. Connect the bare copper ground wire to the rod with the proper ground rod clamp. 6. Connect the bare ground wire to the fan control boxes with a grounding lug. (See Figure 3B.) 7.
3. Heater Installation Fuel Connection Liquid Propane Models 1. LP models are designed to run on liquid propane with liquid draw from the propane tank. Avoid using propane supply tanks that have been used for vapor draw for long periods of time. When using liquid draw systems any moisture that may be present in tank or lines may freeze when system is used in cold weather.
4. Installation Plenum Thermostat Mounting (Continued) Figure 4A Plenum Thermostat Mounting on Bin Wall Transition High-Limit Installation 1. Mark location on transition one (1) foot up from the bottom (entrance collar) and centered in the transition. 2. Drill or knock out 7/8" diameter hole on marked location. 3.
5. Bin Configuration Figure 5A IMPORTANT: When mounting two (2) heaters on a bin it is imperative that they be situated as in above Figure 5A. Plenum thermostat must be to the right of master heater and master heater must be to the right of slave heater. Operating Temperature Table IMPORTANT: Do not exceed plenum temperatures listed in table.
6. Second Heater Installation For Units Using HF-7318 Control Board Two (2) Deluxe heaters may be connected to one (1) grain drying system and wired so they cycle together. One (1) of the heaters should have a thermostat connected to it as per the installation instructions.
6. Second Heater Installation Electrical Installation (230V Fans) 1. Connect power cord to fan control box. 2. Make field connections of wires in fan box as shown in Figure 3. Connect deluxe thermostat control (optional) in heater box as shown in Figure IMPORTANT: Heater must be interlocked with fan for safe operation.
6. Second Heater Installation Electrical Installation (460V Fans) 1. Connect power cord to fan control box. 2. Make field connections of wires in fan box as shown in Figure 6C. 110V power supply or 0.5 KVA 460V to 110V transformer must be used to supply power for heater. 3.
8. Operating Procedure Cycling Heater Operation 1. Thermostat must be wired into heater control box for heater to operate. 2. Open all manual shut off valves to heater unit. 3. Start fan. This will supply power to heater. 4. Turn thermostat dial to its highest setting. 5.
8. Operating Procedure Modulating Valve Operation 1. The modulating valve regulates gas flow through the heater based on sensing unit in the plenum, and maintains a constant drying air temperature. 2. The sensing bulb of the modulating valve should be mounted through the bin wall with the side reading “top”...
