COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR

Adequate facilities for supplying air for combustion and ventilation

must be provided in accordance with the latest edition of section 5.3,

Air for Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1, in the U.S.A., CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane

Installation Code, or applicable provisions of local building codes.

All gas fired appliances require air to be used for the combustion

process. In many buildings today, there is a negative indoor air

pressure caused by exhaust fans, etc. If sufficient quantities of

combustion air are not available, the heater or another appliance will

operate in an inefficient manner, resulting in incomplete combustion

which can result in the production of excessive carbon monoxide.

CAUTION:Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,

nausea, dizziness, asphyxiation or death.

If indoor air is to be used for combustion, it must be free of the

following substances or the life of the heat exchanger will be

adversely affected: chlorine, carbon tetrachloride, cleaning solvent,

halogen refrigerants, acids, cements and glues, printing inks, fluorides,

paint removers, varnishes, or any other corrosives.

VENTING

A – GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

NOTE: The vent is a passageway, vertical or nearly so, used to convey

flue gases from an appliance, or its vent connector, to the outside

atmosphere. The vent connector is the pipe or duct that connects a

fuel-gas burning appliance to a vent or chimney.

Unit heaters must be vented in compliance with all local codes

or requirements of the local utility, the current standards of the

(American) National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or (Canada) CSA

B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, and the following

instructions.

Do not intermix different vent system parts from different

manufacturers in the same venting system.

Vent connectors serving Category I and Category II Appliances shall

not be connected into any portion of mechanical draft systems

operating under positive pressure.

A metal stamped/extruded transition is supplied with this certified

unit. It must not be modified or altered and must be installed on the

outlet of the induced draft blower assembly prior to the installation

of the vent or vent connector. Failure to comply with this requirement

will void the certification of the unit by the approval agencies. All

joints shall be secured with at least two corrosion resistant screws. All

joints must be checked for gas tightness after installation.

The heater and the venting system shall be inspected once a year by a

qualified service agency.

F – VENTING USING A MASONRY CHIMNEY

The following additional requirements apply when a lined masonry

chimney is being used to vent the compact unit / utility heater.

1. Masonry chimneys used to vent Category I units heaters must

be either tile-lined or lined with a listed metal lining system or

dedicated gas vent. Unlined masonry chimneys are prohibited. A

category I appliance must never be connected to a chimney that is

servicing a solid fuel appliance. If a fireplace chimney flue is used

to vent this appliance, the fireplace opening must be permanently

sealed.

2. A fan assisted unit heater may be commonly vented into an existing

lined masonry chimney provided:

• The chimney is currently serving at least one draft-hood equipped

appliance.

• The vent connector and chimney are sized in accordance with

venting tables in the (American) National Fuel Gas Code ANSI

Z223.1 or (Canada) CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane

Installation Code.

IMPORTANT Single appliance venting of a fan assisted unit

heater into a tile lined masonry chimney (interior or outside wall) is

prohibited. The chimney must first be lined with either type B-1 vent or

an insulated single wall flexible vent lining system, sized in accordance

with venting tables in the (American) National Fuel Gas Code ANSI

Z223.1 or (Canada) CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation

Code.

3. A type B-1 vent or masonry chimney liner shall terminate above

the roof surface with a listed cap or a listed roof assembly in

accordance with the terms of their respective listings and the vent

manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator, or flue

restrictor between the unit heater and the chimney.

5. If type B-1 double-wall vent is used inside a chimney, no other

appliance can be vented into the chimney. Outer wall of type B-1

vent pipe must not be exposed to flue products.

6. Insulation for the flexible vent pipe must be an encapsulated

fiberglass sleeve recommended by the flexible vent pipe

manufacturer.

7. The space between liner and chimney wall should NOT be insulated

with puffed mica or any other loose granular insulating material.

8. If type B-1 vent or an insulated flexible vent pipe cannot be used

as liners, the chimney must be rebuilt to accommodate one of

these methods or some alternate approved method must be found

to vent the appliance. When inspection reveals that an existing

chimney is not safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to

conform to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with

suitable materials or replaced with a gas vent or chimney suitable

for venting unit heaters. The chimney passageway must be checked

periodically to ensure that it is clear and free of obstructions.

G –REMOVAL OF UNIT FROM COMMON VENT

In the event that an existing unit heater is removed from a venting

system commonly run with separate gas appliances, the venting

system is likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining

attached appliances. The following test should be conducted while

each appliance is in operation and the other appliances are not in

operation, yet remain connected to the common venting system. If

the venting system has been installed improperly, the system must be

corrected.

1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal

pitch. Determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,

corrosion, or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe

condition.

3. If practical close all building doors and windows and all doors

between the space in which the appliances remaining connected

to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the

building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected

to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such

as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at

maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close

fireplace dampers.

4. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being

inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate

continuously.

Compact Unit / Utility Heater 10 Operating Instructions and Owner’s Manual

5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after five minutes

of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or

smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.

6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining

connected to the common venting system properly vents when

tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,

fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning appliance to their

previous condition of use.

7. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests,

the common venting system must be corrected. The common

venting system should be re-sized to approach the minimum size as

determined by using the appropriate tables

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

NOTE: The MHU series unit/utility heaters use a direct spark ignition

system. There is no pilot necessary as the spark lights the main burner

as the gas valve is turned on. The direct spark ignition control board

emits radio noise during burner ignition. The level of energy may

be enough to disturb a logic circuit in a microprocessor controlled

thermostat. It is recommended that an isolation relay be used when

connecting the unit heater to a microprocessor controlled thermostat.

Select circuit protection and wire size according to the unit rating

plate. Install a separate disconnect switch (protected by either fuse

or circuit breaker) near the unit so that power can be turned off for

servicing. Remove electrical junction box cover and connect wiring

through knockout on the junction box located on the side of the

heater. Refer to heater wiring diagram for connection information.

Use 18 gauge wire or larger for line power connections. Make sure to

connect line power to wires located in the external electrical junction

box behind junction box cover. DO NOT CONNECT LINE POWER TO

THERMOSTAT TERMINAL STRIP ON OUTSIDE OF HEATER.

Electrically ground the unit in accordance with local codes or in the ab-

sence of local codes, in accordance with the current National Electrical

Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) in the USA, and in Canada with the current

Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 CSA C22.1

NOTE: Un-insulated ground wire must be wrapped in electrical tape to

avoid damage to the electrical system.

Make line voltage connections as shown in figure 6. Connect field

wiring as shown on wiring diagram on unit. Also, refer to typical

diagram in this manual.

To use the blower for air circulation only, your thermostat must have

a “fan only” or fan selection setting. In case your thermostat has this

option. an additional wire should be run to the “G” terminal on the

thermostat connection block. See wiring schematic on page 13.

gas valve to the appliance before shutting off

electrical supply.

WARNING

Danger of explosion and fire. Can cause injury or

product or property damage. You must follow

these instructions exactly.

GAS CONNECTIONS

When connecting gas supply lines, the length of the piping run from

the meter to the heater must be considered in determining the pipe

size to avoid excessive pressure drop. A line pressure of 7” WC

(178mm WC) for natural gas should be maintained when sizing the

piping.

A line pressure of 13” WC (330mm WC) should be maintained for

propane (LP) gas. NOTE: Compounds used on threaded joints or gas

piping must be resistant to the actions of Liquefied petroleum gasses.

WARNING: TO PREVENT HEATER DAMAGE. WHEN USING A

PROPANE TANK TO SUPPLY HEATER, A MINIMUM 11”W.C.

LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR TO A MAXIMUM 14”W.C. LOW

PRESSURE REGULATOR IS REQUIRED. THIS REGULATOR

MUST BE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE TANK AND THE HEATER.

Regulator not supplied with heater.

For correct sizing of piping, refer to the (American) National Fuel Gas

Code ANSI Z223.1, or (Canada) CSA B149.1, National Gas and Pro-

pane Installation Code or consult the utility having jurisdiction.

A drip leg should be installed in the vertical pipe run to the unit. In

some localities, codes may require that a manual main shutoff valve

and union (furnished by installer) be installed external to the unit.

Union must be of the ground joint type. A drip leg should be readily

accessible to permit cleaning and empting. See figure 7.

NOTE: Leave a min of 4’’ clearance to the electrical connections box

on the back of the heater to allow for access.

A 1/8” NPT plugged tap shall be installed immediately upstream of the

gas supply connection to the heater. The purpose of this is to be able

to check for proper gas pressure entering the heater.

LEAK CHECK

CAUTION DO NOT use matches, candles, flame or other sources of

ignition to check for gas leaks.

After gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping connections,

(field and factory), for gas leaks. Use a soap solution or other pre-

ferred means.

Due to the natural heating cycles and vibration of this unit it is recom-

mended, as part of its annual maintenance, to check these connec-

tions for proper tightness and leak-check with a soap solution or other

preferred means prior to putting into service.

IMPORTANT The heater and its individual shut off valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure

testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by

closing its individual manual gas shutoff valve during any pressure

testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than

1/2 psig (3.45kPa). See figure 8.

NOTE In case emergency shutdown is required, shut down main gas

valve and disconnect main power to unit. These devices should be

properly labeled by the installer.

START-UP OPERATION

UNIT START–UP

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be

sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air

and will settle on the floor.

Use only your hand to move the gas control knob to the on position.

Never use tools. Do not use excessive force to switch valve from off to

on position. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

MHU 50/80/125 unit heaters are equipped with an automatic spark

ignition system. There is no pilot. In case of a safety shutdown, move

thermostat switch to OFF, then return the thermostat switch to HEAT

position.

Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, shut off

the manual gas valve to the appliance before shutting off the electrical

supply.

the gas supplier’s instructions. If you do not smell gas go to next

step.

7. Rotate the black switch knob to ON.

8. Turn on electrical power to unit.

9. Set the thermostat to desired setting.

10. The combustion air blower will start. The burners will light within

30 seconds.

11. If unit does not light first time (gas line not fully purged) it will

attempt up to two more ignitions before locking out.

12. If lockout occurs, repeat steps 1 through 9.

13. If appliance still will not operate, follow the instructions “TO TURN

OFF GAS TO UNIT” and call your service technician or gas supplier.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO UNIT

1. Set thermostat to lowest level.

2. Turn off all electrical power to unit if service is to be performed.

3. Rotate black knob to OFF position.

HEATING SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

1. When the thermostat calls for heat, the combustion air blower

starts immediately.

2. Combustion air pressure switch proves blower operation before

allowing power to the ignition controller. This switch is factory set

and no adjustment is necessary.

3. After pre-purge of approximately 30 seconds, the spark ignition is

energized and the solenoid valve opens in the gas valve.

4. The spark then ignites the gas, the ignition sensor proves the flame

and the combustion process continues.

5. In the event that the flame is not detected after the first 10-second

trial for ignition, the controller will repeat steps 3 and 4 an

additional two times before locking out the gas valve. Refer

to ignition control board table 3. Ignition control will then

automatically repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 after 60 minutes.

To interrupt the 60-minute lockout period, move thermostat from

“HEAT” to “OFF” then back to “HEAT.” Heating sequence then

restarts at step 1.

6. The burners shall light without noticeable crossover delay. There

shall be no flame lifting from the burner heads, flashback or

burning within the burner. The flames shall be predominantly blue

in color and shall be approximately centered in the tubes with no

apparent impingement taking place. If your burner characteristics

do not match those described above. Refer to the trouble shooting

sections.

7. The ignition control will energize the fan approximately 45 seconds

after ignition is established.

8. After the thermostat demand is satisfied the gas valve is closed; 5

seconds after the demand is satisfied the combustion air blower is

shut off.

9. The control center shall shut off the system fan approximately 150

seconds after the gas valve is de-energized.

IGNITION CONTROL LED

The ignition control board contains a green LED which indicates the

following: TABLE 3 IGNITION CONTROL LED

LOUVER VANE ADJUSTMENTS

Rotate louver vanes to direct airflow upward, downward, straight,

or any combination of these directions. When unit is installed in an

inverted position, louvers may be positioned in the same manner.

COMBUSTION AIR PRESSURE SWITCH

This pressure switch checks for proper combustion air blower

operation before allowing an ignition trial. The switch is factory set

and no field adjustment is necessary. If a 3 flash LED occurs Please

make sure your venting is not blocked up. Next, remove the end of

the pressure switch tubing from the EXHAUST FAN hose barb. There

might be an obstruction in the hose barb opening clear out the

opening with a thin object that will fit inside the hose barb. Push that

through the length of the hose barb PLUS at least another 1/2 inch,

into the exhaust fan housing. This will clear out anything stopping the

vacuum from engaging the pressure switch.

FLAME ROLLOUT SWITCH

The flame rollout switch(es) are located on the burner box top, behind

the ignition control board. This normally closed switch opens on a

temperature rise. Check for adequate combustion air before manually

resetting switch.

GAS FLOW

To check for proper gas flow to the combustion chamber, determine

the Btu input from the appliance rating plate. Divide this input rating

by the Btu per cubic feet of available gas. Result is the required

number of cubic feet per hour. Determine the flow of gas through the

gas meter for two minutes and multiply by 30 to get the hourly flow

of gas.

GAS PRESSURE

1. Check gas line pressure with unit firing at maximum rate. A

minimum of 5.0” w.c. for natural gas or 10.9” w.c. for LP/propane

gas should be maintained for proper unit operation.

2. After line pressure has been checked and adjusted, check manifold

pressure. Correct manifold pressure is shown on the unit rating

plate. See figure 9 for gas pressure adjustment screw location. A

natural gas to LP/propane gas changeover kit is required to convert

unit. Refer to installation instructions provided with changeover kit

for conversion procedure.
