The following section outlines the Laser Heater and its various components. 1-2. Physical Specifications Listed below are the physical specifications that apply to the CABIN HEATERS. Model: NS-2800 Dimensions (WxDxH): 410 mm x 190 mm x 315 mm (16-1/8”x7-1/2”x12-3/8”) Weight: 9.0 kg (20 lbs.) Flue Pipe: Outer nominal: 50 mm (2 in.)
1-4. Components The cabin heater is composed of the following: 1-5. Combustion System The combustion system maintains the room temperature at the desired temperature. In the combustion system a mixture of fuel and air is burned to produce heat. Air is drawn from outside the dwelling to the burner.
1-6. Heat Chamber The combustion assembly consists of two main parts; one is the heat chamber and the other is the burner. The heat chamber is a cylinder which is secured to the burner. The heat chamber has a window, allowing the serviceman to visually examine the combustion process (i.e.
1-13. Forced Flue Vented System The combustion air system channels air to and from the heater. Outside air is drawn into the heater by the combustion blower through the flue pipe and is blown into the bottom of the burner. It then combines with the vaporized fuel and ignites. As the heated air passes through the heat exchanger, a blower fan blows air past the heat exchanger and out again into the room from the heated air outlet.
1-18. Fuel Tank The tank should contain a fuel strainer and a vent. 1-19. Solenoid Fuel Pump The solenoid fuel pump is located on the bottom part of the unit. 1-20. Electrical System All electronic diagrams, such as the wiring diagram, the circuit board layout, and the electrical schematic can be found in this service manual.
1-26. Overheat Protector Switch (High Limit Switch) This switch is rated at 90°C (195°F). Should the heater overheat (internal temperature rises beyond 90°C (195°F)), the overheat protector switch (also called a high limit switch) will open to shut off the heater. The power lamp will simultaneously flash. The overheat protector switch will automatically reset after the heater has cooled down.
Section 2: Installation 2-1. Introduction This section contains all relevant installation information including; Installation specifications Alternative types of venting systems and installation procedures for each Basic requirements for fuel tank installation The heater can be located almost anywhere within the dwelling provided that electrical, fuel and exhaust specifications are met.
- WARNING - Installation of any fuel tank must comply with all local standards, building and/or boat safety codes. 2-5. Building and Boat Safety Codes Fire regulations, local building codes, and boat safety codes may govern the installation and use of a vented heater and related fueling systems. Prior to installation, check and comply with all codes.
2-8. Fuel Tank Installation Fuel tank installation is illustrated below. Since fuel tank installation techniques vary from place to place, use the following check list as a guide to the fuel storage facilities. 1. The fuel supply tube must be shorter than 1.5 m (5 ft.). 2.
Section 3: Operation 3-1. Introduction The NS-2800 is an easy-to-operate vented heater. Routine operation features automatic adjustment of room temperature, low fuel and power consumption. This section provides all information necessary to operate the Laser Heating System. All operation procedures specified should be performed in the order in which they are described.
3-3. Operating Controls and Monitor Lamps The remote control switch is used to operate the heater and allow the user to monitor its performance. (1) HEAT Switch: In the “ON” position, the heater begins its operation. The power monitor lamp will be lit.
3-4. Operation Push in the HEAT switch to the “ON” position. (Vent switch is “OFF” position.) The power monitor lamp will be lit and the igniter will glow red. 12 seconds later the blower motor and the fuel pump start in the low mode. The blower motor repeats the process with 17.5 seconds of operation and 2.5 seconds off until combustion starts when the flame lamp is lit.
3-7. Power Failure Recovery When an electric power failure occurs while the heater is in operation, all electrical systems will be automatically shut off. When the power is restored, the heater automatically reignites and operates. 3-8. Overheat Recovery The heater is protected against damage resulting from an overheat condition by 90°C (195°F) automatic reset thermostat (overheat protector switch).
Section 4: Maintenance 4-1. Introduction The maintenance is divided into two classifications; routine maintenance, which is required to keep the heater in good condition; and repairing and adjustment, which is necessary to correct malfunctions. 4-2. Routine Maintenance The maintenance schedule provided in Table below describes the tasks that must be performed periodically for optimum heater performance.
TASK 7: Clean the igniter Remarks: Scrape any carbon deposits from igniter. WARNING: Be careful when you remove igniter, it may be stuck. Excessive force may crack the igniter. TASK 8: Check air line and blower motor assembly. (at least every year) Remarks: Replace the air line if it is worn or broken.
(2) Visual Inspection A. Push in the HEAT switch to “ON”. B. Look downward through the peep window on the heat chamber. Verify that igniter is glowing. If the igniter does not glow, something is wrong. Refer to Troubleshooting in Section 6 of this service manual to solve the problem. (3) Reassembly of Heater;...
Section 5: Component Specifications and Adjustments 5-1. Main Circuit Board When a malfunction or defect in the main circuit board is suspected, first check the connectors. Check this point first of all, especially if the exact cause cannot be determined. 5-2.
5-4. Fuel Pump (1) Dust or contaminants sucked into the fuel pump will reduce pumping capacity. Always install the fuel strainer. (2) Dust or contaminants sucked into the fuel pump will reduce pumping capacity. The initial setting of the fuel pump flow rate for shipment is ±0%. For smooth adjustment, reduce the flow rate 6% when the flue pipe is extended 0.5m, 12% for 1.0m extension, and 18% for 1.5m.
5-6. High Limit Switch (1) This switch is a bimetal switch and designed to shut off combustion to avoid damage when the inside temperature of the unit is over 90°C (195°F). The circulation fan will continue to run after the combustion stops. (2) Specification: Open at 90°C ±...

6-2. Troubleshooting Guide II Note 1: In case of using a plastic tank, make sure that the strainer does not position above its fuel level. In case of the large size tank, make sure the valve is left “Open”. And also make sure tightened, the insert cap nut (on the suction side of fuel pump) is unloosen.
4. Unscrew the “F” cap nut (on the suction side of the fuel pump) and that on the discharge side of the pump to disconnect their respective pipe. Sufficient care must be taken not to contaminate these connection areas with dust. 5.

Note: The flange used for assembling the igniter is easily breakable. The screws in four positions should be slowly fastened by turns. In case the flange is broken, heated air is contaminated with raw gas, generating odors. If the broken flange must be used, apply heat resistive putty (which is a repair putty for automobile muffler) to the...

Motor trouble If the motor starts at the same time as the power is connected, the transistor must be defective. (See item 1-4 Components.) Also, in case the motor does not work as specified in its operation sequence, the blower motor or the motor controller must be defective.
Section 7: Disassembly Procedure 7-1. Introduction This section shows how to disassemble and reassemble the unit for servicing, maintenance and repair. Turn heater off and disconnect the power cord from the battery and allow the heater to cool down. Then disassemble the heater. Remove the air ducts, flue pipes and the fuel tube from the unit and dismount the unit from the hanger by removing the two hexagonal bolts (13mm, 1/2 in.).
