BEFORE
INSTALLING OR REPLACING LAMPS. THESE
LAMPS CAN AND SHOULD BE INSTALLED PRIOR
TO MOUNTING HEATER.
To insert quartz lamp:
1
Remove the 4 sheet metal screws (2 each end) that
hold fixture end caps in place.
2
Carefully wrap the heating element pigtail clockwise
around the terminal screws (see Figure 1). NOTE:
Cut excess pigtail wire off at the terminal to prevent
the lead wire from touching metal parts. Avoid
handling quartz glass as much as practical. Quartz
should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
3
Tighten terminal screws (see Figure 1).
CAUTION:
Do not draw pigtail so tight that pressure is put
on the heating element. Maintain a partial loop
(or looseness) in the pigtail.
4
Replace the end caps using the screws removed in
Step 1
.
LAMP INSTALLATION
.
Always disconnect the heater from the power source
before performing any service or maintenance.
Periodically
clean the reflector with a dampened soft cloth, using a mild
detergent. Rinse with water and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
1. Select appropriate knockout on the terminal box and
install the 6" conduit nipple and splice box
(both customer supplied).
2. Place silicone wire leads (18" free length provided)
from the terminal box through the customer provided
conduit, and connect the supply wiring inside the
customer provided splice box. (See Figure 2 below)
3. Follow local and national electric codes.
4.
Do not use the heater as a field-wiring compartment.

POSSIBLE LAMP FAILURE
The heating elements used in this product can be damaged by
contamination (salt deposits from perspiration or coastal air) on
the surface of the quartz sleeve. At high temperatures, these
salts will cause the quartz to become porous and leak allowing
air to come in contact with the tungsten element. When this
occurs, the element will burn out quickly and the quartz tube
can break. The instructions below must be followed.
•
Always wear cotton or latex gloves when installing
or replacing elements.
•
Always clean the quartz tube with an alcohol-
moistened soft cloth before using the heater.
•
Whenever contamination (milky white appearance
on quartz tube) is observed, the element must be
immediately replaced.
