SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION

2.1 About Roberts-Gordon LLC

Roberts-Gordon LLC pioneered low-intensity infrared heating systems with the introduction of its revolutionary, custom-engineered CORAYVAC

®

system.

With years of infrared expertise in commercial and industrial applications, Roberts-Gordon LLC LLC offers the CGTH-Series heater for use in light industrial/commercial applications.

2.2 About the Heater

The CGTH-Series is a factory-assembled, gas-fired, low-intensity heating system that incorporates a balanced flue. The system has been designed for easy installation and can provide years of economical operation and trouble-free service. Not only is infrared heat efficient, it also provides the most comfortable conditions in open areas, such as garages.

Gas-Fired means it uses clean-burning natural or LP gas.

Low-Intensity means that the radiant surface of the tube does not glow red. Instead, it operates at a lower temperature, less than 1000° F (538° C) and radiates energy at a lower intensity per square foot of radiating surface. The lower temperature and intensity levels are within a range that is effective in establishing and maintaining personal comfort levels. An aluminum reflector directs the radiant energy downward to the occupied area.

Balanced Flue means that the burner draws combustion air from outdoors and exhausts the products of combustion, also to the outdoors, through a shared opening. This is accomplished through two concentric tubes.

Radiant refers to the energy radiated by the CGTH-

Series heater. Because the energy is in the form of infrared rays, it does not directly heat the air. Instead, the rays heat objects such as the floor, cars, machines and people. The warm objects, in turn, heat the air.

These combined features are key to the comfort and fuel efficiency provided by the CGTH-Series heater.

2.3 Unpacking the Heater

2.3.1 Manpower Requirements

To prevent personal injury and damage to the heater, two persons will be required to remove the heater from the carton. Both ends of the heater should be lifted from the carton at the same time. The burner should be lifted by gripping the bottom. The reflector of the heater should be lifted using the hanger.

2.3.2 Safety

WARNING

Cut/Pinch Hazard

Wear protective gear during installation, operation and service.

Edges are sharp.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury.

Protective gear is to be worn during installation, operation and service. Thin sheet metal parts, such as the aluminum reflector portion of the heater and the various venting components, have sharp edges. To prevent injury, the use of work gloves is recommended. The use of gloves will also prevent the transfer of body oils from the hands to the surface of the reflector.

For additional copies of the Installation, Operation and Service Manual, please contact Roberts-Gordon

LLC.

2.4 Safety Labels and Their Placement

Product safety signs or labels should be replaced by the product user when they are no longer legible.

Please contact Roberts-Gordon LLC or your ROB-

ERTS GORDON

®

independent distributor to obtain

replacement signs or labels. See Page 3, Figure 1

through Page 4, Figure 2.

2.5 California Proposition 65

In accordance with California Proposition 65 requirements, a warning label must be placed in a highly visible location on the outside of the equipment (i.e., near equipment’s serial plate). See label placement drawing on

Page 4, Figure 2 for label location. Avoid

placing label on areas with extreme heat, cold, corrosive chemicals or other elements. To order additional labels, please contact Roberts-Gordon LLC or your

1. Using a saw, cut an appropriate size clearance hole in the roof to accommodate the vertical run of vent pipe and the vent termination (minimum

5" (13 cm).

2. Install the vent adapter (P/N 90506012) and secure with #8 x 3/8" sheet metal screws as shown

on Page 33, Figure 28.

3. Measure the distance to the center of the hole from the vent adapter. Note this dimension here

_________. If the concentric vent has to be cut, use the following guidelines:

A. Subtract 1.5" (3.8 cm) to allow for the elbow and both joints.

B. Separate the 3" (8 cm) and the 5" (13 cm) vent by pulling the 3" (8 cm) vent out from the end with the internal silicone gasket. Remove the internal spring from the non-silicone gasket end of the 5" (13 cm) vent.

C. Always cut the 3" (8 cm) and 5" (13 cm) vent separately to avoid damage.

D. Always cut from the non-silicone gasket end and de burr thoroughly.

4. Install a 4-7" EPDM storm collar (P/N 90506015) following the instruction below:

A. Slide storm collar down over lower section of the vertical vent. Water can be used as a lubricant. Apply silicone sealant on underside of flange. Turning back flexible flange makes this simple.

B. Press pipe flashing into contours of roof panel configuration. If there is a sharp angle in the panel, a blunt tool can be used to press the flashing into place.

C. Lower roof terminal (P/N 90506008) through the 5" (13 cm) hole. From the inside ensure the vent is square. Secure the vent clamp to

the inside of the roof. See Figure 30.

D. Apply silicone sealant between base and roof. Drill and fasten flashing to surface. Use a blunt tool to press base into sharp corners of valleys while drilling; and against to insert rivet or screw.

E. Follow the sequence: drill two holes on opposite sides of aluminum base through sheet.

Fit fasteners progressively outwards in pairs avoiding gaps over 1.5" (4 cm).

5. With the vent collar on the burner, install the additional vent pipe. Push the plain end of the vent into the silicone gaskets. The connection will fit firmly together. If undue force is required to assemble the parts, first, check the cut length for burrs, second, apply warm soapy water to the silicone gaskets.

ANUAL

2. When the motor approaches nominal running speed, the pressure switch closes and activates the ignition module which in turn initiates the purge.

3. The ignition module then energizes the spark igniter.

4. When sparking begins, the gas valve is energized.

5. If a flame is detected, the gas valve remains open. When the call for heat is satisfied, the system control mechanism de-energizes and the gas valve is turned off.

6. If no flame is detected, the gas valve is closed, and a purge period begins. After the purge period, the ignition module energizes the spark igniter and the gas valve. If a flame is still not established, a third and final purge/ignition sequence is begun. After three failed attempts, the system control mechanism will lock out for a period of one hour or until the unit is reset.

7. Reset is accomplished by removing power from the heater for at least five seconds.

8. With a three-try module, when the flame is established and then lost on the first or second trial, the gas valve will automatically turn off. A purge and trial for ignition will then occur.

12.4 Testing

Establish that a satisfactorily purged gas supply and an electrical supply is available to the heater.

With the gas supply turned off at the gas valve, and the electrical supply isolated by switching off at the local switch and removing the appliance electrical plug, open the control chamber secured by the four screws. Remove the sealing screw from the outlet pressure tap with a 3/16" Hex Key Allen Wrench and install a test tap and hose. Remove the cover cap from the regulator screw with a straight slot screw-

driver through the top hole of the burner.

See Page

42, Figure 37.

Turn on appliance gas valve and connect appliance electrical plug. Ensure that the timer or thermostat, if fitted, is set to call for heat. Switch on power at the local switch. If necessary, the sequence as described above, in the first and second paragraphs, should take place. If not, refer to detailed fault finding sequence. When flame is established, check the gas pressure reading and adjust if necessary. See data

label or Page 10, Section 2, for required gas pressure

setting.

Check the gas pressure at the outlet of the gas valve to ensure minimum pressure.

See Page 10, Section

4, for required gas pressure settings.

Switch off the electrical supply (shutting down the heater), remove pressure gauge and refit plug at outlet pressure tap, ensuring a tight gas seal. Replace cap and regulator screw. Close burner side cover.
