QUARTZ TUBE INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
•
Serious injury or death
may occur.
•
Disconnect from electrical
supply before installing or
servicing this heater.
•
Reflector end caps must be
installed prior to powering
the unit; refer to note #3.
Each heater is equipped with two black hi-temperature silicone lead
wires and one green lead wire for ground termination.
Make sure
power source conforms to the heater requirements. Use only
Fostoria quartz tubes.
1. Insert quartz tube in the “L”-shaped slots in heater housing.
2. On each end of the quartz tube, place (1) lead wire ring
terminal, (1) lock washer and (1) hex nut on the threaded stud
and
tighten securely
(see image below). Lock washers and
hex nuts are provided in hardware package.
One lead wire is already installed in your heater, the
second lead wire is located in the hardware package.
NOTE – Use a second wrench to hold the inner hex nut in place
while tightening the outer hex nut. Failure to securely tighten this
connection will cause the element to fail prematurely.
3. Attach reflector end caps to both ends of housing using the
(4) screws provided in hardware package.
HEATER INSTALLATION
Install heater so that the quartz tubes are
horizontal. Failure to do this may cause the
heating element within the tube to sag and cause
premature burnout.
