operating Instructions and owner’s Manual

IMPORTANT

Before using the heater, read and understand all instructions and follow them carefully. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages to goods or persons due to improper use of units.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The heater described in this manual is a portable oil-fueled infrared heat generator running on heating oil.

Its easy handling and large fuel tank allow it to be used locally and temporarily with complete stand-alone operation. The area to be heated is therefore hit by an even and uniform flow of heat, as can be seen by the shape of the irradiation cone (18), without air movement.

The unit is a direct combustion hot generator that works by sending both hot air and combustion products in the room you wish to heat: all the necessary precautions must therefore be taken to guarantee a sufficient exchange of air.

Always follow local ordinances and codes when using this heater:

• Read and follow this owner’s manual before using the heater;

• THE INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT SHALL BE IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS OF THE

AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION. Also, as a recommended installation practice reference should be made to the current issue of CSA B139, Installation Code for Oil Burning

Equipment in Canada and NFPA 31 Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment In the USA;

• Use only in places free of flammable vapours or high dust content;

• Never use heater in immediate proximity of flammable materials

(the minimum distance must be 10 feet);

• Make sure fire fighting equipment is readily available;

• Make sure sufficient fresh outside air is provided according to the heater requirements. Direct combustion heaters should only be used in well vented areas in order to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning;

• A rough estimate of opening required for each gallon (US) of capacity is three square foot at heater level, for direct-fired heaters;

• The heater is installed and connected to an electrical switchboard;

• Ensure that the machine resting surface or ground is not made of flammable material;

•

Minimum clearances from combustible material must be:

30” from side and rear (air inlet) of heater

80” from ceiling

40” on air outlet of heater.

• Never block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front);

• In case of very low temperatures add kerosene to the heating oil;

• Connect the power cord to the mains and wait 15 min at least be fore starting heater, to allow pre-heated filter warming heating oil inside the filter;

• Make sure heater is always under surveillance and keep children and animals away from it;

• Before starting the heater always check free rotation of ventilator;

• Heater is not ductable.

• Unplug heater when not in use.

Operating Instructions and Owner’s Manual

SAFETY DEVICES

The unit is fitted with an electronic flame control box. In case of malfunction this box will cut in and stop the heater, at the same time the pilot lamp in the control box reset button (13) will light up.

WARNING

The reset push-button emits a different colour light, depending on the state of the machine:

• green, when the machine is running regularly;

• red, when the machine is in safety lock-out mode: to restart it , the reset button (13) must be pressed.

Heaters are also equipped with an overheat thermostat safety cut out which will stop the heater in case of overheating. This thermostat will reset automatically but you will have to depress button (13) on control box before being able to restart the heater.

OPERATION

Before any attempt of starting the heater is made, check that your electrical supply conforms to the data on the model plate.

WARNING

M ains must be fitted with a thermo-magnetic differential switch.

Unit plug must be linked to a socket with a mains switch.

The hot generator must be placed on a flat, stable and level surface to avoid machine tipping and/or gas oil leakage from the tank fuel cap.

The flow of heat can be directed upward with an approximately 10° angle: loosen the two locking knobs (A) and tilt the combustion unit by pressing on the handle until the desired angle is reached, then lock the knobs (A) by tightening.

Before any attempt of starting the heater is made, check that your electrical supply conforms to the data on the model plate.

WARNING

Before start-up, always ensure the guard (B) has been completely pulled out, so as to guarantee maximum protection of the machine resting surface. Clearances

The following minimum safety clearances from materials or objects in the surroundings of the heater must be ensured:

Sides 30 in.

Top 80 in.

Air Inlet 30 in.

Air outlet 40 in.

•

•

• the room where the heater is operated.

• The air inlet and outlet must never be blocked for any reason.

Operating Instructions and Owner’s Manual

WARNING

• DO NOT USE GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR VOLATILE FUELS.

• STOP HEATER BEFORE ADDING FUELS.

• ALWAYS FILL OUTDOORS AWAY FROM OPEN FLAME

• DO NOT USE EXTERNAL FUEL SOURCE.

• DO NOT OPERATE HEATER WHERE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS

OR VAPORS MAY BE PRESENT.

• DO NOT START HEATER WHEN CHAMBER IS HOT

• DO NOT START HEATER WHEN EXCESS FUEL HAS ACCUMU -

LATED IN THE CHAMB ER.

• DO NOT PLACE COOKING UTENSILS ON TOP OF THE

HEATER.

• PLUG ELECTRICAL CORD INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED

THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE.

The generator can only work automatically when a control device, such as for example a thermostat or a timer, is connected to the generator. Connection to the generator is made by removing the socket cover(4) and inserting the thermostat plug.

To start the machine you must:

•If connected to the thermostat, turn the switch to (ON + );

•If not connected to the thermostat, turn the switch to (ON).

When unit is started for the first time or is started after the oil tank has been totally emptied, the flow of oil to the burner may be impaired by air in the circuit. In this case the control box will cut out the heater and it might be necessary to renew the starting procedure once or twice by depressing the reset button (1).

Should the heater not start, check that oil tank is full and depress reset button (1).

Should the heater still not work, please refer to chapter

“OBSERVED FAULTS, CAUSES AND REMEDIES”.

STOPPING THE HEATER

Set main switch (3) on “0” position or turn thermostat or other control device on lowest setting.

-

The flame goes out and the fan continues to work for approx.

90sec. cooling the combustion chamber.

SAFETY DEVICES

The unit is fitted with an electronic flame control box. In case of malfunction this box will cut in and stop the heater, at the same time the pilot lamp in the control box reset button (1) will light up.

Heaters are also equipped with an overheat thermostat safety cutout which will stop the heater in case of overheating. This thermostat will reset automatically but you will have to depress button (1) on control box before being able to restart the heater.

TRANSPORT

WARNING

• nate reason of overheating.

-

Before heater is moved it must be stopped and unplugged. Before moving the heater wait till it has totally cooled off and make sure oil tank cap is securely fixed.

The hot air generators with wheels must be wheeled. The suspended version which has no wheels must be transported with adequate machinery.

MAINTENANCE

Preventive and regular maintenance will ensure a long trouble free life to your heater.

WARNING

• Never service heater while it is plugged in, operating or hot.

Severe burns or electrical shock can occur.

Every 50 hours of operation: disassemble filter and wash with clean oil, remove upper body parts and clean inside and ventilator with compressed air, check correct attachment of H.V. connectors to the electrodes and check H.V. cables, remove burner assembly, clean and check electrode settings, adjust according to scheme

“GAP OF ELECTRODES”.
