IMPORTANT NOTICES
WARNING:
Read and adhere to the following. Failure to do so may result in severe or fatal injury.
WARRANTY WILL BE VOID
IF INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED
INSTALLATION
The installation instructions provide a general guideline for the installation and wiring of the heater.
All applicable codes must be adhered to.
MECHANICAL
Heaters must be installed as follows:
LOCATION
1. The air discharge is not directed at a thermostat.
2. The air discharge is across areas of heat loss, such as windows.
3. If equipment freeze protection is of importance, locate heater as close to equipment as possible.
MOUNTING
1. Heater must be mounted level on a vertical surface using the factory supplied mounting brackets
such that there are no obstructions to impede air inlet or discharge (Figure 1b & 3).
2. The mounting surface must be strong enough to:
a. support the heater’s weight, refer to “Specifications” section,
b. withstand abusive situations such as transportable installations of the heater.
– 3 –
1. Read and comply with all instructions in this manual.
2. Heater is to be used only in atmospheres having an
ignition temperature higher than the heater’s maximum
rated operating temperature, as shown on the heater
data plate. Refer to applicable electrical codes for
additional information.
3. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not install
where the marked operating temperature exceeds the
ignition temperature of the hazardous atmosphere.
4. Heater to be used only in the hazardous locations
indicated on the heater data plate.
5. Heater is for dry, indoor use only. Do not immerse in
water. Do not store or use in areas exposed to rain
or snow.
6. Use supply wires suitable for 90°C (194°F) service.
7. Maximum ambient operating temperature 40°C
(104°F).
8. Heater is to be connected and serviced only by a
qualified electrician experienced with hazardous
location equipment.
9. Heater requires a minimum clearance of 9.5 mm
(3/8”) to all the vertical surfaces and must be mounted
a minimum of 203 mm (8”) off the floor. To ensure
adequate airflow, a minimum clearance of 203 mm
(8”) below and 457 mm (18”) above the heater cabinet
must be maintained.
10. Ensure external field-installed thermostat is suitable for
the application.
11. Installation and wiring of the heater must adhere to all
applicable codes.
12. Before opening any enclosures, disconnect the heater
from the power supply. Lock the switch in the “OFF”
(open) position and/or tag the switch to prevent
unexpected power application.
13. External surfaces get hot and can cause burns with
prolonged contact.
14. Ensure unit is permanently mounted level on a vertical
surface using factory mounting brackets.
15. Heater must be kept clean. When operating in a dirty
environment, regularly clean the finned tubes, top
vents, and keep bottom opening free of obstructions.
Follow the recommended maintenance procedures.
Refer to the “Heater Maintenance Checklist” section for
details.
16. Do not operate the heater in atmosphere corrosive to
steel or aluminum.
17. Use factory approved replacement parts only.
18. Heater should be repaired by qualified personnel only.
19. To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous
atmospheres, conduit runs must have a conduit
seal connected within 152 mm (6”) of the enclosure.
Conduit seals are not required in factory-installed
conduits.
20. A stopping box, Ex certified for the same potentially
explosive atmospheres as the heater, is required to be
fitted immediately adjacent to the field entry.
21. If there are any questions or concerns regarding the
heater, contact the factory. Refer to the last page of
this manual for details.
22. For heaters that are identified as “suitable for storage
temperatures up to 150°C (302°F) the installer must
ensure that the supply conductors are rated for 150°C
(302°F) and stopping box sealants are rated for 150°C
(302°F).
23. The heater must be allowed to cool down for a period
of 2 minutes after operating before any enclosure
covers can be removed.
