  • Page 14: Typical Suspension Methods

    6. Heaters must not be supported by gas or electric supply lines and must be suspended from a permanent structure with adequate load capacity. Space-Ray recommends that the body sections be suspended using chains with turnbuckles. This will allow slight adjustments after assembly and heater expansion/ contraction during operation.
  • Page 15: Assembly Of Tube Sections

    Consult your Space-Ray Representative if you have any questions prior to the installation concerning particulars of your application.
  • Page 16: Assembly Of Extension Section

    5. Suspend the chain to attach the wire hanger and the tube support bracket. Insert the tube into the wire hanger and then raise the tube support bracket end up to the suspension chain, use “S” hooks to attach the wire hanger and tube support bracket to the chain.
  • Page 17 See typical assembly overview (Section 0 for typical complete assembly. Assemble additional extension sections as required for all systems. (See Sections 7.0), and 0 for typical layout details.) Join the tube sections together and secure with tube couplings as described below: The following coupling tightening instructions MUST be followed properly to ensure the integrity of the tube connections.
  • Page 18: Inserting Turbulators

    8. Check to ensure that the hardware is completely closed and the band is seated on the reaction block and interference pins as illustrated above. 9. Once all the heater body sections are attached, make sure that the heater system is level. If it is not, slight adjustments can be made using the turnbuckles.
  • Page 19: Adding Body Reflectors

    9.3) ADDING BODY REFLECTORS 1. Slide the reflectors on the tube support/hanger brackets and through the wire hangers. 2. The tube at the coupling joints must be covered. Slide the reflectors together and provide an overlap of two (2”) inches for the first reflector overlap after the control unit. This will allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the heater when in operation.
  • Page 20 Important: NEVER reuse a coupling.. Always install a new coupling only and torque as per instructions above and the diagrams below. Form 43343100 April 2022 A -19-...
  • Page 21: 10.1) Connecting The Tiss System

    10.1) CONNECTING THE TISS SYSTEM Description: The TISS (Tube Integrity Safety System) is designed to shut the main burner off in the event that a burnout occurs in the first 10ft. section of firing tube. Note: When replacing the firing tube a new TISS wire assembly PN 44176510 (spring and spring retainer clamp not included) must also be installed.
  • Page 22 3. Hold the spring retainer clamp and pull the TISS wire assembly to end of reflector at overlap joint. Slide spring retainer clamp over end of reflector as shown. Step 3 4. After attachment of the TISS, check to make sure that there is sufficient tension on the wire. Follow the diagram below to increase or decrease the tension as necessary.
  • Page 23 ANGLE MOUNTED HEATERS ONLY 5. If heaters are to be angle mounted, the TISS wire holder clamp must first be re-positioned as shown using the bottom hole pattern of the clamp. Follow procedures described earlier for all other adjustments. Step 5 Failure to re-position the wire clamp at the bottom hole pattern will shorten the life expectancy of the TISS wire assembly.
  • Page 24: Gas Connections And Regulations

    11.0) GAS CONNECTIONS AND REGULATIONS IMPORTANT BEFORE CONNECTING THE GAS TO THE HEATER 1.

  • Page 39 SINGLE HEATER VENTING (HORIZONTAL THROUGH SIDEWALL) When venting the heater horizontally through a combustible outside sidewall, the same requirements listed previously for venting Vertical Through The Roof apply except as follows: 1. A vent passing through a combustible wall must pass through an approved clearance thimble (Air-Jet #4VT or Ameri-Vent #4EWT or other thimbles) that are listed by a nationally recognized testing agency;...
  • Page 40: Air For Combustion

    B. INDIRECT VENTING (UNVENTED HEATERS) — This heater requires ventilation in the building to dilute the products of combustion and provide fresh air for efficient combustion. Where unvented heaters are used, gravity or mechanical means shall be provided to supply and exhaust at least 4 CFM per 1,000 Btu/hr input of installed heaters.
  • Page 41: Air For Combustion - Through Ceiling

    The combustion air inlet should be not less than 3 ft. (0.9m), either vertically or horizontally, from the flue vent termination. The air intake terminal must be located not less than 1 ft. (30cm) above grade. It is good installation practice to supply combustion air from the same pressure zone as the vent outlet.

  • Page 43: Lighting And Shutdown Instructions

    16.0) LIGHTING AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS 1. Turn on the gas and electrical supply. Set the thermostat to call for heat. The blower motor will energize. 2. Ignition should occur after the 15-second pre-purge. 3. If the burner fails to light, or flame is not detected during the first trial for ignition (a period of approximately 15 seconds) the gas valve is de-energized and the control goes through an inter-purge delay of approximately 60 seconds before another ignition attempt.
  • Page 44: Sequence Of Operation - Two Stage (N7/L7)

    Note: When the FUSION is operated by a thermostat interrupting the line voltage (120V) to the heater then the post purge function is disabled. If the flame is not sensed during sequence T3 then the burner will automatically begin re-ignition sequence T2. The ignition sequence will be repeated three times with a 60 second inter-purge.
