Introduction All Warmflow oil fired warm air heaters are suitable for space heating of industrial and commercial premises. The heaters are automatic in operation and are designed for free-standing operation, supplied as standard for free blowing via the air discharge hoods or for connection to a ductwork distribution system.
If the high limit continues to trip, switch the heater to ‘off’ and contact the Warmflow Service Department. If the fan motor draws more current than the set limit the overload relay can be reset by pressing the red button in the control panel.

2.2.4 Time Clock Indictor Arrow Each heater is supplied as standard with a 7-day analogue clock. To set the day of the week and the time turn the minute hand in a clockwise direction until the correct day and time is opposite the indicator arrow.
Installation Clearances The space in which the heater is to be fitted must have the following minimum dimensions: 600mm 1000mm ACCESS DOOR A - Width B - Height Refer to Section 3.2 Note: Any combustible material adjacent to the air heater and the flue system must be so placed or shielded as to ensure that its temperature does not exceed 65°C (150°F).
All heaters are supplied for free standing and free blowing operation and are not suitable for connection to a ducted system unless the necessary drive modifications have been made. Warmflow can make the necessary drive modifications in the factory to suit a range of ductwork resistances (i.e. 0.5", 1.0", 1.5" and 2.0" wg).
Electrical Supply Wiring external to the air heater must be installed in accordance with IEE Wiring Regulations and any local regulations which apply. Models 100 to 300 are supplied for 240 volts, 50Hz, single phase, neutral and earth. Models 500 to 600 are supplied for 400 volts, 50Hz, 3 phase, neutral and earth. The method of connection to the mains electricity supply must facilitate complete electrical isolation of the air heater by an isolator having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles and the supply should serve only the air heater.

Oil Supply Oil Tank Steel tanks constructed to BS 799 Part 5 1987 should be painted on the outside only and mounted on piers to prevent corrosion. Plastic oil tanks are also available and can be suitable for installation at ground level. However, oil should never be stored in translucent plastic containers.
Two Pipe Systems FILTER MAY BE SAW CUT INSIDE POSITIONED TANK TO PREVENT OUTSIDE SYPHON FILTER FIRE VALVE NON RETURN VALVE RETURN LINE NO FILTERS OR VALVES STEEL TANK SHOWN PLASTIC TANK ALSO SUITABLE Total Maximum Pipe Length (m) Lift H I.D.
Flues The flue should be designed in accordance with the local bye-laws and the Clean Air Act. Draught stabilisers are not recommended. Sharp bends or horizontal runs should be avoided and the flue should terminate 2 feet (600 mm) above the ridge of the dwelling. Terminals which restrict the discharge or allow ingress of water should be avoided.
Burners 6.1.1 RDB Burner The burner is fitted with the correct nozzle and the pressure set. All that is further required before commissioning, is to connect the oil and electricity supply.

6.1.3 G20S Burner Return line Hydraulic jack with air-damper Suction line Combustion head adjustment screw Gauge connection Lock-out lamp and reset button Pump pressure regulator Flange with insulating shield Suction gauge connection 10. Start delaying device Oil Supply The burner is supplied for use with a one pipe system. For use on a two pipe system, it is necessary to remove the return port plug and fit a small by-pass plug as shown.
Air Damper Adjustment The setting is purely indicative. Each installation however, has its own unpredictable working conditions: actual nozzle output; positive or negative pressure in the combustion chamber, the need of excess air, etc. All these conditions may require a different air-damper setting, which should be checked and set during commissioning.
Fault Finding Switch on electricity supply Set rocker switches to heating on and manual Does the fan run? Is white button on the Check fan stat fan stat pulled out? Check contactor Check wiring Pull out button Does burner fire? Is burner motor running Check photocell solenoid continuously without ignition?
