INSTALLATION

All applicable codes must be adhered to. For optimum heating, the
heater should be installed as follows:
D.1 Mechanical
1. Location
1.1 There are no obs tructions that may impede the
heater's air inlet or discharge.
1.2 The air discharge is directed into open areas and not
at occupants.
1.3 The air discharge is not directed at a thermostat.
1.4 The air discharge is directed across areas of heat
loss, such as doors and windows (see Figure 2,
page 7).
1.5 The air discharge is directed along and at a
slight angle toward exterior walls (see Figure 2,
page 7).
1.6 If equipment freeze protection is important, direct air
discharge at equipment.
1.7 Air discharge streams support each other and
create a circular air flow. It is not required that the
heater's air throw reaches the next heater (see
Figure 2, page 7).

2. Mounting
2.1 The heater must be permanently mounted in a level,
upright position for operation. See Figure 3, Figure 4,
and Figure 5 on page 7 and 8 for maximum
tilt angles, installation clearances, and physical
dimensions. For ease of installation, a variety of
mounting kits are available from the factory.
2.2 The mounting structure must be strong enough to:
– Support the heater's weight (refer to Section F.
Specifications, page 14).
– Provide sufficient stiffness to prevent excessive
vibration.
– Withstand harsh situations such as transportable
installations.
