- Page 10 INSTALLATION Heater Mounting • Figure 3 illustrates typical rigid and chain mounting configurations for the Series SDE heaters; verify which is permissible by local codes. • Heaters must be hung at an angle between 10° and 35°. Typically, at the walls they are at 35° facing into the building.
- Page 11 • Before connecting burners to the gas supply system, verify that high pressure testing of the system has been completed. Failure to do so may expose the burner components to damaging high pressure, requiring replacement of key components. • Ensure that there is a plugged tap upstream of the heater or a fitting on the valve itself to verify incoming pipeline pressure.
- Page 12 VENTILATION / CONDENSATION General Requirements The heater should be installed in accordance with the relevant provisions of National Standards and Codes of Practice in the destination country. Heaters can be operated according to the appliance Type A, Gas appliance without flue gas system. The combustion air is taken from the installation space.
- Page 13 Ventilation by Natural Air Change Gas-fired radiant heaters may be operated without any special exhaust system if the exhaust gases are discharged to the outside atmosphere by a sufficient natural air change in the installation room. No provision for thermal or mechanical ventilation is required in the following particular cases: Buildings with natural air change greater than 1.5 volumes per hour Buildings with a density of operating heat input not greater than 5W/m³...
- Page 14 COMMISSIONING / OPERATION / MAINTENENCE Commissioning 1. Ensure that the service cock to the heater is OFF. 2. Purge air from gas supply. 3. Connect pressure gauge on the test point screw (located on the gas valve). 4. Open the service cock and check supply line from cock to combination valve for leak-tightness. 5.
- Page 15 Conversion heater to another gas 1. Disconnect electrical supply to the heater. 2. Turn off gas supply to the heater. 3. Check for correct injector size. 4. Remove old injector from heater. 5. Install and tighten new injectors supplied. Use suitable pipe sealant for injectors. 6.
