8.  User & Operating Instructions. 

1. 

This appliance must only be installed by qualified in accordance with the      
requirements of local and National Codes. 

 
2. 

This appliance must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical 
Code ANSI/NFPA No.70 or Canadian Codes. 

 
3. 

Never rest anything, especially ladders, against the heaters. 

8.1 

To Start the Heater 

 

1. First ensure that the gas supply to each 

heater is turned on by opening the main 
gas shut off valve. 

 
2. Switch on the electrical supply to the   

heater. The ‘power on’ lamp will illuminate. 

 
3. Ensure that the settings of the thermostat 

(single stage thermostat VCLUS, two stage 
thermostat VCLUS HL) and any time 
switch are set so that the heating system 
will be required to operate. 

 
4. The fan will start and the ignition sequence 

will commence. 

 
5. Ignition of the burner will occur and the ‘low 

fire’ light only will illuminate for low fire and 
both the ‘low fire’ and ‘high fire’ lights will 
illuminate for high fire. 

 
6. If ignition is unsuccessful the gas valve will 

close and the spark ignition de-energize 
after  approximately  15  seconds.  For       
approximately 30 seconds the fan will 
purge the system then re-ignition will be 

attempted. After 3 failed attempts the 

 

 

 

 

control unit will ‘lock-out’, the ‘power on’ 
lamp will remain illuminated and the fan will 
continue to run. To reset after ‘lockout’, 
switch off the power supply to the heater 
and wait 5 minutes, then turn the power on. 
If repeated ‘lockout’ occurs investigate the 
cause. 
 

8.2.  To Switch Off Heater 
 

    To switch off heater,  ensure 

that 

the        

settings of the thermostat (single stage  
thermostat VCLUS, two stage thermostat 
VCLUS HL) and any time switch are set so 
that the heating system will be required to 
turn off. The burner will stop and fan will 
shut off.  
 

8.3. Servicing 
 

   To ensure continued, efficient and safe   

operation it is recommended that the heater 
be serviced regularly by a qualified person 
every year in normal working environments, 
but  in  exceptionally  dusty  or  polluted      
environments more frequent servicing may 
be needed. 

Radiant tubular infrared heaters are designed for overhead heating of industrial and commercial 
buildings. Individual heating units are suspended from the roof.
