WARNING: Exceeding the MAX running
current will cause the fan’s thermal overload
to trip!
Adjust the balancing dampers within the airflow ductwork
system to achieve a current suitable for the model in
question.
Limit Thermostat settings:-
VPx (all) = 90°C
Note: VPx35 & 90 - 140 units have a single
limit thermostat whereas VPx 90 to VPx 140
units have two. The second stat is at the
opposing side of the heater to the burner/
controls end. The limit thermostats are wired in series
(either thermostat will shut down the burner).
1. Close the gas service tap and ensure that the gas valve
is heard to close within 1 second and that the lockout light
is illuminated. Note that the heater may attempt five
re-ignitions before going to lockout. Open the gas service
tap and reset the unit from lockout.
2. Check that the room thermostat and all automatic
controls are operating satisfactorily.
Hand these instructions to the user or purchaser for
retention and instruct in the efficient and safe operation
of the air heater and associated controls. Adjust the
automatic controls to those values required by the User.
Finally, advise the user or purchaser that, for continued
efficient and safe operation of the air heater, it is
important that servicing is carried out annually.
In the event that the premises are not yet occupied turn
off the gas and electricity supplies and leave instructional
literature adjacent to gas meter.
