INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SERIES OK3 – INFRARED RADIANT HEATERS
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD WARNING - During operation, take precautions to ensure that
combustible materials are always kept at a safe distance from the radiant energy. This heater is
not intended for use in hazardous areas where flammable vapours, gases or liquids or other
combustibles are present. Remember that objects placed under an infrared heater can take a while
to reach stabilized temperatures. If you are unsure of the suitability of the heater for the intended
application, check with the factory for recommendations. Failure to comply can result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
DESCRIPTION
1.0
The OK3 radiant heaters are suitable for comfort heating
use in non-hazardous areas protected from rain, snow or splashing,
where heating element temperatures in excess of 750°C(1382°F)
will not present the risk of fire or explosion. The heater does not
present a safety hazard when it is installed, operated and maintained
in accordance with these instructions.
2.0
The OK3 heater has two U-shaped metal sheath heating
elements factory interconnected in series or parallel depending on
voltage. Never change heaters which have been factory series
connected to a parallel connection.
3.0
Minimum space clearances from combustibles, when
heaters are horizontally mounted and installed, as listed in Table 1
following.
Table 1
Min. Spacing
From nearest wall
600 mm (24”)
From the ceiling
300 mm (12”)
INSTALLATION
The system designer is responsible for
the safety of this equipment and
adequate back-up controls and safety
devices must be installed. Failure to
comply could result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
Heaters must be wired by qualified
personnel in compliance with local
codes.
5.0
Verify that the nameplate voltage and wattage are suitable
for use on the available electrical power supply. Do not connect
the heater to an electrical supply voltage other than shown on the
product label.
Insulation contamination or moisture
accumulation can cause fault to the
element sheath generating arcing and
releasing molten metal. Install proper
ground fault protection to prevent
personal injury and/or property
damage.
6.0
The connection box volume is 3100 cm³(190 in³).
7.0
Supply conductors to the heater must be suitable for
110°C(230°C). The ground wire from the supply shall be connected
to the grounding connection located in the connection box.
8.0
The connection box has eight dual knockouts, ½" or ¾"
and two dual knockouts ¾" or 1". The standard Type 1 enclosure
is suitable for dry, indoor locations only in non-corrosive
environments.
9.0
For short circuit protection, heaters must be installed with
proper fast acting fuses or breakers as close as possible to the
ratings indicated on the nameplates, in compliance with the local
electrical codes.
4.0
To facilitate mounting, the heater has four ¼"-20 mounting
holes located at each top corner of the housing. Either chain
mounting (use eye bolts) or bolting to a non-combustible sliding
support (slotted holes) is adequate provided that the spacing
instructions as given in 3.0 are followed. Chain mounting is preferred
since rigidly mounted heaters are susceptible to warping.

MI102 REV.7.01 Page 1 of 8
1.0 INITIAL INSPECTION
1.1
Upon receipt from the carrier, inspect the heater for concealed
damage and report any damage found to the shipping company
immediately.
1.2
Verify that the nameplate voltage, phase and wattage are as
ordered and are suitable for use on the electrical power supply
available. DO NOT CONNECT THE GX UNIT HEATER TO AN
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY VOLTAGE OTHER THAN THAT SHOWN
ON THE PRODUCT NAMEPLATE.
1.3
The GX unit heater is CSA approved for operation in
nonhazardous areas only. Ensure that no hazardous conditions
exist before energizing the heater.
2.0 MOUNTING METHODS
2.1
Install the heater not less than 13cm (5”) from the wall, 15cm
(6”) from the ceiling and 244cm (8’) from the floor or grade.
2.2
The GX unit heater is CSA approved to operate with vertical
down flow or horizontal air flow discharge.
2.3
Select the appropriate air discharge direction for the application.
If horizontal, refer to Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 and if vertical down flow, refer
to Fig. 3.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
2.3.1
The GX heater weighs approximately 130 lbs.(59 kg). The
building support must be sufficiently strong to carry the weight.
2.3.2
All studs, bolts, nuts and other fasteners shall be secured
so that there is no possibility of loosening over prolonged periods.
These must be inspected at regular intervals and retightened when
necessary.
3.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
3.1
Verify that the heater nameplate voltage and supply voltage
are the same (see paragraph 1.2).
3.2
Select the proper electrical conductor sizes. Conductor ratings
are listed in the electrical code.
3.3
Select a conduit style and conduit entrance fitting suitable for
EEMAC 12 (dust tight and drip tight - indoor) applications. This is
important since contamination of the control cabinet interior could
significantly reduce the operating life of the control components.
3.4
Remove the cabinet door to facilitate electrical access and
connection.
3.5
The control cabinet of the GX unit heater is constructed to
EEMAC 12 standards and as such, we are not permitted to supply
knockouts. After selection of the conductor and conduit entrance
sizes, punch the appropriate hole into the control cabinet. We
recommend the hatched area indicated in Fig. 4 be used for ease
of internal electrical connection.
3.6
The GX unit heater is completely prewired internally. Connect
the power conductors and any control conductors to the terminals
as illustrated on the wiring diagram fastened inside the control
cabinet door. Also refer to Fig. 5 for typical wiring.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS D’INSTALLATION ET D’OPÉRATION
TYPE GX UNIT HEATERS
AÉROTHERMES ULTRA-ROBUSTES MODÈLE GX
1.0 INSPECTION INITIAL
1.1
Sur réception de votre marchandise via le transporteur, vérifiez
si l’appareil est endommagé et rapoortez immédiatement tout
dommage visible à la compagnie de transport.
1.2
Vérifiez les caractéristiques de la plaque signalétique. Les
caractéristiques: tension, phase, et puissance, doivent être
identiques à celles de votre commande d’achat. NE JAMAIS
RACCORDER UN APPAREIL À UNE SOURCE D’ALIMENTATION
DIFFÉRENTE DE CELLE MONTRÉE SUR LA PLAQUE
SIGNALÉTIQUE.
1.3
L’appareil GX est approuvé CSA pour utilisation dans des
endroits non-dangereux seulement. Assurez-vous qu’il n’y a
aucune condition de danger avant d’opérer l’appareil.
2.0 MÉTHODES DE MONTAGES
2.1
Ne pas installer la chaufferette à moins de 13cm (5”) du mur,
15cm (6”) du plafond et 244cm (8’) du plancher ou sol.
2.2
L’appareil GX est approuvé CSA pour opération à débit d’air
horizontal ou vertical.
2.3
Sélectionnez la direction appropriée pour l’application. Pour un
débit horizontal, voir Fig. 1 ou Fig. 2 et pour un débit vertical, voir Fig. 3.
INFORMATIONS IMPORTANTES:
2.3.1
L’appareil GX pèse approximativement 130 lbs.(59 kg).
Le support fixé à la bâtisse doit être suffisamment robuste pour
soutenir un tel poids.
2.3.2
Tous les êcroux, rondelles, boulons devront être serrés
fermement afin de ne pas se déserrés même sur de longues
périodes d’opération.
3.0 CONNEXIONS ÉLECTRIQUES
3.1
Vérifiez la tension d’alimentation et la tension indiquée sur la
plaque signalétique (voir paragraphe 1.2).
3.2
Utilisez les conducteurs électriques de calibre approprié (Code
Électrique Canadien).
3.3
Utilisez un conduit et un raccord électrique de type 12 (à
l’épreuve des poussères et égouttures - intérieur). Ceci est très
important, car toute infiltration contaminante à l’intérieur du
panneau de contrôle pourrait réduire de façon très importante la
vie des composants.
3.4
Retriez la porte du boîtier de contrôle pour faciliter le
raccordement électrique.
3.5
Le boIitier de contrôle de l’appareil GX est fabriqué selon les
standards EEMAC 12. Aussi, il ne nous est pas permis d’y prévoir
des débouchures. Après la sélection du calibre des conduits et des
conducteurs, perforez un tour adéquat dans le boîtier de contrôle.
Nous recommandons l’endroit indiqué à la Fig. 4 pour faciliter le
raccordement électrique.
3.6
L’appareil GX est entièrement préfilé en usine. Raccordez les
conducteurs d’alimentation et de contrôle aux borniers identifiés.
Suivez les indications montrées au chéma de filerie situé sur la
face intérieure de la porte du cabinet de contrôle.
