2.7 Gas connection BEFORE INSTALLATION, CHECK THAT LOCAL CONDITIONS OF SUPPLY, GAS TYPE / PRESSURE AND EQUIPMENT SETTINGS ARE COMPATIBLE. Gas piping must not : - be located in the heated area around a heater (see diagram below). HEATED AREA HEATED AREA - produce any stress on the injector block.
LOW PRESSURE GAS SUPPLY The gas supply pressure is identical to the heater operating pressure (see tables on page 2 and 3). GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE G20 (Natural gas) 20 mbar (*) * acceptable total pressure loss : approx. 1 mbar. SOLENOID VALVE (NC = Normally Closed) OR MAIN VALVE...

NEUTRAL brown wire: LIVE Control unit to sensor Use the sensor cable supplied by SBM. (in 20m, 60m or 300m rolls) Number of RP3 and RP32 units : 1 RP3 per type B6, B8, B10, B12, B16, B20, B24 and B32 heater.
2.9 Start-up Gas-tightness test for industrial installations : (see diagram below) a) Ensure that the installation is at a pressure (nitrogen or dry air) equal to 1.5 times the gas operating pressure. b) Turn off the nitrogen or dry air supply and wait 15 minutes for the pressure to stabilise. c) Check the pressure on the pressure gauge.
Page 15
First start-up a) Preliminary checks: * calibration of control unit fuses. * ground-fault breaker operation ("TEST" button). b) Initial settings: * main gas valve closed. * individual valves open. * ground-fault breaker set to "ON". * thermostat or programmable controller set to correct temperature setting. c) Ignition * manual operation - open the main gas valve.
3. RECEIPT OF INSTALLATION TO BE PERFORMED BY THE INSTALLER IN THE PRESENCE OF THE CUSTOMER. Check that the gas type and pressure comply with the type of heater installed (see rating plate) Check that an individual valve is installed prior to each heater. ...
4. MAINTENANCE LIST OF OPERATIONS TO BE PERFORMED DURING THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE VISIT. Removal of dust from heaters - on site, without disassembly, heaters off and cold. JOINTS COMPRESSED AIR : 3 to 5 bar MAX. DO NOT BLOW AIMING AT JOINTS BETWEEN CERAMIC PLATES ...
5. REPAIRS Problems on a single heater.
