3.2 Mounting the Heater
Mount the heater according to the following installation instructions:
1.
Position the heater to obtain a mounting angle between directly down and 45º. Comfort is best
obtained with the heater off to one side and angled at 35º.
2.
The heater may be mounted many different ways. Refer to Appendix A and Section 3.1 Mounting
Variations for approved installations. Follow the instructions that come with each of those accessories.
3.
Mount the heater at or above the minimum mounting height. (See below.)
4.
Make sure the MINIMUM DISTANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES is maintained around and below the heater.
(See table below.)

Notes:
•
The bulk of the heat radiates from the lens of the heater and care must be taken keep combustibles out
of the "Combustible Avoidance Zone" of the radiation beam.
•
At minimum distance to combustibles heaters will not raise the temperature of a highly absorptive
surface >90° F
•
Many heater manufacturers exaggerate the minimum distance to combustibles to exaggerate the
performance of their heaters. Our distances are true minimums.
