INTRODUCTION The Engineered Air XE, (D,H)FP-PV Series units are high quality products designed and manufactured to provide many years of trouble-free service. We recommend that this manual be read thoroughly to ensure ease of installation, efficient operation and proper maintenance of this equipment.
RECEIVING THE UNIT Engineered Air units are usually pre-wired and assembled where possible. On receipt of unit, check electrical characteristics (see name plate) to make sure the unit voltage is compatible with that available for the unit. All separate parts are listed on the shipping order form. Carefully check shipping slip for all components and for damage to components before signing the freight bill.
a) Air plane hangers when acceptable to the enforcing authority. b) Public garages when installed in accordance with the current CANI-B149 or State Installation Codes. # Counterflow Units on combustible floor require special base Part# CB(2,3,4,5,7,8, & 10). LOCATION These Power Vented (D,H)FP - PV Unit Heaters are designed to be installed in the space being heated, and in locations where flammable gases or vapours are not present.
The unit is now one piece locked together at back by clip and at front by two sheet metal screws. Motor wires and upper limit control wires are clipped at top of heat section. Feed both these wire pairs into the fan compartment, through the wire way hole provided. Wires should be neatly clipped in place and taut so they will not contact the hot draft hood parts.
.VENTING There are 3 arrangements by which this appliance may be vented: A. SIDEWALL INDIVIDUAL VENT B. VERTICAL INDIVIDUAL VENT C. OPTIONAL VERTICAL VENT Details of each method follow. Note carefully the regulatory requirements for the one you choose. FOR ALL METHODS ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING - FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

VENT LOCATION The vent pipe shall be terminated through an outside wall according to the following rules: A) The vent terminal shall NOT be located: Less than 6 feet (1.8m) from a combustion air inlet of another appliance or mechanical air supply inlet to a building. ii) Less that 3 feet (1m) from any other building opening.
B. VERTICAL INDIVIDUAL VENT VENT LOCATION The vent pipe shall be terminated through a roof using a vent terminal according to the following rules: a) The vent terminal shall NOT be located: less than 6 feet (1.8m) from a combustion air inlet of another appliance or mechanical air supply inlet to a building.
IMPORTANT:THE EXHAUST CAP MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 24" OR 6" ABOVE THE EXPECTED SNOW DEPTH ON THE ROOF, WHICH EVER IS GREATER, ONCE THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE. VERTICAL PIPE EXTENSIONS OVER 12" MUST BE INSULATED BY A SUITABLE METHOD. 3.
COMBUSTION AIR All fuel burning equipment requires an adequate supply of air for combustion. A sufficient quantity of air must enter the heated space to replace that exhausted by the Heater. Modern buildings greatly reduce the amount of air entering the heated space through improved construction techniques.
3) Gas lines should not be run in a manner which will interfere with unit access. The gas line connection at the heater shall have an approved drip leg with screwed cap. 4) The gas piping must be sized to allow for a maximum of 0.3" WC (75Pa) pressure drop from meter to unit.
Purge all the air from the gas lines. Check all connections for leaks and fix any leakage. Ensure that the inlet pressure agrees with the name plate. Inspect all electrical wiring, both field and factory installed, for loose connections. Turn unit disconnect switch (control switch is still off) and check the supply voltage.
(2) Remove pressure tap plug in valve or pressure tap plug in manifold and install pressure tap fitting. (3) Connect pressure gauge to pressure tap fitting. Preferred gauge is a U tube manometer. (4) Turn valve to "on" and let burners come to full fire (approximately 15 seconds from initial opening of valve).
MAINTENANCE In order to provide a maintenance history, we recommend that the owner have a maintenance file on each unit. The following maintenance instructions are to be carried out each spring and fall or as otherwise indicated by a qualified serviceman. 1.
A. The induced draft fan wheel must be cleaned as soon as there is any dust on it. B. Follow the OPERATIONAL check as detailed on pages 12 & 13. C. It is good maintenance practice to thoroughly vacuum the fan compartment, fan and burner compartment at least once per year, to remove accumulated dust.
