Sunpak® Infrared Heaters Basic Heater Operation Sunpak S34 TSR is an outdoor gas‐fired infrared heater which is operated with a wireless remote control. The heater can be operated at a High setting with an input of 34,000 BTU/Hr or at a LOW setting of 25,000 BTU/Hr. Each heater comes with wireless operating remote controls that are pre‐programmed for that heater. The number located on the louvered end of the heater corresponds to the number on the remote control. Should the original remote control become lost, additional remote controls can be purchased. However the heater will need to be re‐programmed to the new remote control. The Sunpak S34‐TSR should always be started up and operated on the HI mode for the first 5 minutes to allow the heater to warm up. Starting up the heater on the LOW mode before the heater is warmed up may cause the heater to shut down prematurely. To correct this situation press the OFF button followed by the ON button and the HI button. Always PRESS the button for at least 1 second to allow proper transmission of the remote signal. Sunpak heaters have a spark ignition and electronic flame safety control. The pilot is only ON while the heater is operating. If the flame safety sensor fails to sense flame at the pilot, the heaters will shutdown and lockout. This may happen due to low gas pressure or a gusty wind. Should the heater lockout you may be able to hear a faint beeping from the heater control. To restart the heater, first press the OFF button before restarting the heater. Although the heater is designed for outdoor installation and use, it is important that the wireless remote control(s) be protected from the weather. Should the remote control become wet, it may be necessary to replace ...
