SAFETY

Continued

If heater shuts off, do not relight until you

provide fresh air. If heater keeps shutting off,

have it serviced. Keep burner and control

compartment clean.

DANGER: Carbon monoxide

poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs

of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the

u, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea.

If you have these signs, the heater may not

be working properly. Get fresh air at once!

Check for proper ventilation and have heater

serviced. Some people are more affected by

carbon monoxide than others. These include

pregnant women, people with heart or lung

disease or anemia, those under the inuence

of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP Gas: Propane/LP gas is odorless.

An odor-making agent is added to propane/LP

gas. The odor helps you detect a propane/LP

gas leak. However, the odor added to Propane/

LP gas can fade. propane gas may be present

even though no odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all

warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It

is your guide to safe and proper operation of

this heater.

ture and should stay away to avoid

burns or clothing ignition.

CAUTION: Any safety screen

or guard removed for servicing

an appliance must be replaced

prior to operating the heater.

1. Install and use heater with care. Follow all

local ordinances and codes. In the absence

of local ordinances and codes, refer to

the Standard for Storage and Handling of

Liqueed Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58,

the Natural Gas and Propane Installation

Code, CSA B149.1, and ANSI/NFPA 102

Standard for Grandstands, Folding and

29. The heater must be installed so that the

location of the heater does not obstruct or

interfere with normal or emergency exits

and doors or walkways in the structure.

VENTILATION

WARNING: Follow the mini-

mum fresh, outside air ventila-

tion requirements. If proper

fresh, outside air ventilation is

not provided, carbon monoxide

poisoning can occur. Provide

proper fresh, outside air ventila-

tion before running heater.

Provide a fresh air opening of at least 42 in2

(271 cm2) opening of fresh, outside air.

Example: 3" high x 14" long = 42 in2. Provide

extra fresh air if more heaters are being used.

Determining Correct Heater Size

1. Determine volume of space to heat:

Length x Width x Height

50 feet x 30 feet x 15 feet = 22,500 ft3

2. Determine desired temperature rise:

Desired temperature 65° - 25° outside

temperature = 40° rise

3.

Multiply volume x rise: 22,500 x 40 = 900,000

4.

To determine how many BTU’s are needed

multiply by 0.133

900,000 x 0.133 = 119,000 Btu

The heater thermostat will cycle on and off to

maintain the desired room temperature more

often if the BTU/hr is oversized for the space

being heated. The air inltration and leakage

of heated air through cracks, passageway

openings, etc., will adjust the required BTU’s

needed for the desired temperature.

Ventilation Air Requirements - National

Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54

1 inch2 of opening per 3,000 BTU with

outside air

1 inch2 of opening per 1,000 BTU with non-

outside air

Determine fresh air needed

Input Max. divided by 3,000

125,000 BTU/hr ÷ 3,000 = 41.66

Provide 42 inch

2. Remove all items from carton.

3. Check all items for shipping damage. If

heater is damaged, promptly inform dealer

where you bought heater.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The Fuel System: The hose/regulator assembly attaches to the propane gas supply. The

propane gas moves through the automatic control valve and out the injector.

The Air System: The motor turns the fan. The fan pulls air into and around the combustion

chamber. This air is heated and provides a stream of clean, hot air.

The Ignition System: The direct spark ignitor (DSI) sends voltage to the spark ignitor. The

spark ignitor ignites the fuel and air mixture.

The Safety Control System: There are 4 independent systems:

1. Flame Sensor: This system causes the heater to shut down if the ame goes out.

2. Thermal Switch: This system causes the heater to shut down if the heater gets too hot

(blocked openings).

3. Air Pressure Switch: The system will not allow the heater to start if there is not adequate

air ow.

4. ODS - Oxygen Depletion System: This system shuts down the heater if the oxygen level

drops below the specied level (18%).

ODS Operation: Burner porting "blows" out causing ame sensor to cool, shutting down heater.

nance, page 12

1. Check all connections for

leaks. Apply noncorrosive leak

detection uid to gas joints.

Bubbles forming show a leak

that must be corrected

2. To obtain correct mixture of

propane/LP gas and air, use

a larger cylinder size, i.e.

100 lb. See Propane Supply,

page 6

3. Use a larger supply cylinder

size, i.e. 100 lb.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

1. Propane supply may be

inadequate

2. High surrounding air tem-

perature causing thermal

limit device to shut down

heater

3. Restricted air ow

4. Damaged fan

5. Excessive dust or debris in

surrounding area

1. Gas leak

2. Heater operating on a 20 lb.

propane/LP cylinder. Insuf-

cient propane/LP gas will be

supplied by a 20 lb. cylinder

resulting in odor

3. Propane/LP supply tank is

"freezing up". Evaporation

and consumption rate of

propane/LP from supply tank

is to great for the size of the

tank and air temperature

OBSERVED FAULT

Heater shuts down while

running

Heater producing odor
