Section 5 – INSTALLATION

5.1

UNPACK AND CHECK FOR DAMAGE: Remove the Model 4069 heater

from its shipping container and associated packaging. Check the unit for any potential
damage due to shipping. In the unlikely event damage has occurred, keep all shipping
containers and materials in order to file a damage claim with the shipping company
responsible for shipping the unit.

5.2

MOUNTING THE HEATER: The Model 4069 heater should be mounted to a

structure or framework that is designed to support the weight of the heater and provide
stability to the unit. There are four M10 threaded holes on each side of the heater for
mounting. Mount the heater in an orientation that will allow for the heater to be fully
opened (40º maximum) for maintenance, as well as for ease of threading product in
continuous process applications. Please refer to Figure 3-1 for product dimensions and
mounting information.

In vertical applications, the right side of the heater should be on top for the flow
switch to operate correctly.

Note: Vertical burn lamps are recommended when operating the Model 4069 in a
vertical orientation. All Research Inc. lamps associated with the Model 4069 heater are
designed for universal (both horizontal and vertical) operation.

5.3

GAS STRUTS: The Model 4069 includes gas struts to assist in opening the

Model 4069 heater. The struts also limit the angle to which the heater can be opened to
40 degrees.

Note: If the heater is used in a vertical operation Gas Struts are not required. A Stop
bolt is added to the hinge to limit the opening of the heater. If the heater is relocated to a
vertical operation remove one strut, preferably the top strut. The latching strut may be
replaced with the non-latching strut if applicable.

If replacing the struts, orient such that the shafts extend to the bottom of the heater (see
Figure 5-1).

NOTE: FOR SAFETY, a latching shock is installed on the left side of the model 4069
heater. The latch will prevent the heater from closing should the gas strut fail.
To Use: When closing the heater, pull the knob to release the latch while closing.
