9. OPERATING THE HEATER
9.1 TO START HEATER - FIG. 4
WARNING: Ensure the heater is stood on a NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE!
i. Fill fuel tank with appropriate fuel.
ii. Fit fuel cap.
iii. Plug power cable into mains supply.
-
Extension Cable Wire Size Requirements:
-
6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 metres) long, use 1.0mm gauge cable.
-
11 to 100 feet (3.4 to 30.53 metres) long, use 1.3mm gauge cable.
-
101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 metres) long, use 1.6mm gauge cable.
iv. Turn THERMOSTAT CONTROL
to desired setting and press power switch to "ON"
position. Power indicator lamp will light and heater will start.
If heater does not start, the thermostat setting may be too low. Turn THERMOSTAT
CONTROL
to higher position to start heater. If heater still does not start, turn
power switch to OFF and then to ON position.
9.2 TO SHUT DOWN HEATER
Turn power switch to "OFF" and allow heater fan to cool unit. Once the cooling fan has
stopped you may then unplug the power cable.
WARNING
: Do not unplug power cable until fan has stopped as the combustion chamber
MUST be cooled.
9.3 TO RESTART HEATER
i. Wait 10 seconds after stopping heater.
ii. Repeat steps under, "TO START HEATER."
9.4 FUEL SYSTEM
This heater is equipped with an electric pump that is connected to the fuel intake, and then
through a nozzle in the burner head.
This fuel is then sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist.
The electronic ignitor sends voltage to a specially designed spark plug. The spark plug ignites
the fuel mixture described.
The motor turns a fan that forces air into and around the combustion chamber, which warms
the heater plate, emitting infra-red heat.
9.5 THE SAFETY SYSTEM
Temperature Limit Control:
This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limit Control
designed to turn the heater off should the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level. If
this device activates and turns your heater off, it may require service.
Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature, you will be able to start your heater.
Electrical System Protection:
This heater's electrical system is protected by a fuse mounted to
the PCB Assembly that protects it and other electrical components from damage. If your
heater fails to operate, have this fuse checked first and replace as needed.
Flame-Out Sensor:
Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in burn chamber during normal
operation. It will cause the heater to shut off should the burner flame extinguish.
Tip-over sensor:
If the unit is tipped or pushed over during use, the unit will shut down
immediately and NOT re-start until it is totally cooled. Always ensure that the heater is on a
stable, non-combustible surface and away from any risk that it could be tipped or
pushed-over.
