Operating Instructions and Owner’s Manual Enerco | enerRadiant® XL Series Heater
SECTION 1
Introduction
Ener-Radiant ERXL models are low-cost, field assembled
infrared heaters that are easy to install and require only minimal
maintenance. They are designed to provide years of economical
operation and trouble-free service.
Checking Shipment
Check the shipment against the Bill of Lading for shortages. Also,
check for external damage to cartons. Note any shortages, and/
or external damage to cartons on the Bill of Lading in the presence
of the delivery trucker. The delivery trucker should acknowledge
any shortages or damage by initializing this “noted” Bill of Lading.
Immediately report any claims for damaged material, or shortages
that were not evident at the time of shipment, to the carrier and
your ENERCO Factory Representative.
Installer Responsibility
All heaters and associated gas piping should be installed in
accordance with applicable specifications and this installation made
only by firms (or individuals) well qualified in this type of work.
Consult local building inspectors, Fire Marshals or your local ENERCO
Factory Representative for guidance.
Ener-Radiant ERXL heaters are installed on the basis of information
given in a layout drawing, which together with the cited codes and
regulations, comprise the basic information needed to complete the
installation. The installer must furnish all needed material that is not
furnished as standard equipment, and it is his responsibility to see
that such materials, as well as the installation methods he uses result
in a job that is workmanlike and in compliance with all applicable
codes.
ENERCO Factory Representatives have had training and experience
in the application of this equipment and can be called on for
suggestions about installation which can save material and money.
