PROBLEM
Heater does not glow
Low heat output
Heater does not work
WHAT TO DO
• Check supply voltage to confirm it matches voltage of heating element.
• A 240V element connected to 110V or 208V will warm, but not glow orange
or generate sufficient heat for typical applications (Matching your voltage is
extremely important). If element is visibly orange, but there is insufficient heat,
refer to the areas covered with respect to conditions and mounting heights.
• Replace or clean dirty or non reflective reflectors.
• Disconnect power and check element with an ohm meter for continuity. If there
is any continuity across the bulb, the problem is in the wiring/controls.
• Check that there is proper voltage to the heater.
• Check that the control/switch is working.
• Check main power circuit breaker.
• Check wiring for a loose connection or burned wire.
Unless heaters are installed over 12' (3.7m) high, it is generally recommended that all radiant heaters be
mounted on an angle to assure that radiant warmth is distributed from the sides rather than straight down on the
heads and shoulders of the people being warmed.
Angle fixture 30º to 60º from
horizontal face down. Best
angle is approximately 45º.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Install fixture to heat the area from
the "cold side" if possible. This helps
compensate for increased body heat
losses due to exposure. Warm floors
re-radiate heat. Warmer air rises from
the floor. Some heat reflects from the
floor. Mounting a heater directly over a
table or other obstruction will block the
energy, primarily heating the object. It is
best to move heater to the side, allowing
complete body and floor coverage.
When outdoors, hang heater under
protective roof or wether cover
whenever possible. Even though
heater is all-weather construction, it
will last longer and look better if it is
protected from rain and snow.
