Volt™ 18-3
Electric Fan Heater
Owner’s Manual • Volt™ 18-3

Volt electric heaters are designed for professional
use.
The heat is generated in sealed heating elements
inside the inner barrel of the heater. Heated air is then
dis-tributed by an electric motor driven fan blowing air
through the heater.
Although effectively cooled by the fan, the heating
elements have high surface temperatures. That is
why combustible materials must be kept at a safe
distance from the heater and care must be taken that
no combustible particles enter the heater with the air
sucked in by the fan.
General Information
Operation Instructions
Keep the heater clean of dust at any time. Dust may
cause fire when heated. Make sure that the fan
blades can rotate unobstructed at all times. Do not
block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
Contact your local L. B. White distributor or the
L.B. White Co., LLC for assistance, or if you have
any questions about the use of the heater or its
application.
The L.B. White Co., LLC has a policy of continuous
product improvement. It reserves the right to change
specifications and design without notice.
REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS IN
THIS MANUAL. THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR SAFE
USE OF THE HEATER.
FOLLOW ALL LOCAL CODES.
TO START HEATING:
1. Place the heater on a stable and level surface.
Make sure that no explosive or combustible fumes
or dust are present.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES
FROM COMBUSTABLE MATERIALS
OUTLET = 6 feet
SIDES = 1 foot
TOP = 2 feet
REAR = 2 feet
FLOOR = COMBUSTABLE
2. Connect a 240 v / 60 Hz / 3 Phase power source
to the heater. THE POWER SOURCE MUST BE
EQUIPPED WITH A CIRCUIT BREAKER! See
paragraph “Specifications” in this manual for
correct amperage rating. NOTE: Check your heater
to make sure it is wired for three phase use.
3. Set the room thermostat to a temperature above
the ambient room temperature by turning the
knob. Note! The heater will start heating only if the
thermostat “calls for heat” meaning that it is set to
higher than prevailing ambient temperature.
4. Turn the main switch into position 2 = ”Output
13,000 W” for partial heating output or into position
3 = ”Output 19,000 W” for full heating output. THE
HEATER WILL NOW OPERATE AUTOMATICALLY,
CONTROLLED BY THE THERMOSTATS.
5. When no heating is needed, turn the main switch
into position 1 = ”Ventilation only” for air circulating
purposes.
TO STOP HEATING
1. Turn the main switch into position “0” standby
2. Let the fan cooldown heater for 2-3 minutes
3. Disconnect the power supply plug
NOTE!
THE HEATER IS EQUIPPED WITH AN
OVERHEAT LIMIT SWITCH WHICH
MAY CAUSE THE HEATER TO STOP.
CHECK AND REMOVE THE CAUSE FOR
OVERHEATING BEFORE RESTARTING.
