ambient

 

temperature

 

between

  ‐

15°C

 

and

is

 

greater

 

than

 

1,8

 

metres

 

measured

they

 

may

 

be

heater.

 

This

 

appliance

 

must

 

be

 

installed

 

in

 

accordance

 

with

 

the

 

rules

 

in

 

force.

   

Before

 

installation,

 

check

 

that

 

the

 

local

 

distribution

 

conditions,

 

nature

 

of

 

gas

 

and

 

pressure

 

and

 

adjustment

 

of

 

the

 

appliance

 

are

 

compatible.

   

A

 

permanent

 

electricity

 

supply

 

of

 

230

 

volts,

 

50

 

Hz,

 

single

 

phase

 

is

 

required.

 

Heaters

 

are

 

approved

 

for:

When

 

the

 

external

 

control

 

calls

 

for

 

heat,

 

an

 

electronic

 

control

 

begins

 

the

 

ignition

 

sequence

 

to

 

provide

 

for

 

a

 

safe

 

start.

 

About

 

30

 

seconds

 

after

 

the

 

call

 

for

 

heat,

 

the

 

fan

 

will

 

begin

 

circulating

 

warm

 

air.

 

The

 

electronic

 

control

 

will

 

supervise

 

the

 

flame

 

during

 

the

 

entire

 

heating

 

cycle

 

to

 

ensure

 

safe

 

operation.

 

When

 

the

 

required

 

room

 

temperature

 

is

 

reached,

 

the

 

main

 

burner

 

will

 

shut

 

down

 

leaving

 

the

 

fan

 

running

 

to

 

cool

 

down

 

the

 

heat

 

exchanger.

  

After

 

approximately

 

45

 

seconds,

 

the

 

fan

 

delay

 

relay

 

will

 

turn

 

off

 

the

 

fan.

a) VRC-3 heaters are installed in atmospheres containing flammable vapors or 

atmospheres containing chlorinated or halogenated hydrocarbons or atmospheres 
containing any silicone, aluminum oxide, etc., that adheres to spark ignition flame 
sensing probes. 

b)  The installation is not in accordance with these instructions. 

(1)  Gas appliance Classifications for approved venting methods based on CEN report CR 1749:2001. 
(2)  There is a difference between the gas connection diameter and the diameter of the supply line. Always use the most adequate diameter of the supply line 

to minimize the pressure drop through the gas pipes – if necessary, reduce the diameter of the supply line at the inlet of the unit. 

(3) Figure for isothermal conditions.
