A. Handling the Equipment
The Direct Gas-Fired unit has been designed for rigging
and handling through the use of special lifting lugs installed
on the ends of each unit. As explained previously, the basic
unit is designed for shipping in one piece where shipping
limitations allow. Some optional accessories may require
field mounting.
* Consider control side as front of unit.
On outdoor curb mounted installations, flash and seal roof
curb to prevent leakage. The cross section of factory
provided curb is formed to accept wood nailing strip and
insulation provided by others.
When unloading and setting the unit, use the lifting lugs
provided or move the equipment on rollers. Hooks, jacks
or chains must not be used around the casing, main control
panel or exterior mounted controls.
C. Location of Accessories
Where applicable, standard or optional accessories will
be placed inside the fan section of the unit for shipment,
and must be removed and installed by the mechanical or
electrical contractor.
During transit, unloading and setting of the unit, bolts and
nuts may have become loosened, particularly in the pillow
block ball bearing assemblies in the fan section. It is
recommended that all nuts and set screws be tightened.
Turn fan shaft by hand to make certain that blower does
not rub against blower housing, and that bearing set screws
are tight.
Field provided discharge or inlet dampers must be
equipped with an end switch and interlocked to insure
maximum design opening before starting and running
circuits may be energized.
Open the cover on the electrical control box located on
the unit. Inspect all wire terminals and wiring terminations
to ensure that all connections are tight.
Field constructed intake accessories should be properly
designed to minimize the entry of rain and snow.
If this unit is not installed immediately, cover all openings
that might be exposed to the weather. Rotate fan monthly.
Adequate building relief must be provided, so as to not
over-pressurize the building, when the heater is operating at
its rated capacity. This can be accomplished by taking into
account, through standard engineering methods, the struc-
ture’s designed infiltration rate, by providing properly sized
relief openings, by interlocking a powered exhaust system,
or by a combination of these methods.
B. Locating the Unit
Prior to locating the unit, authorities having jurisdiction
should be consulted before installations are made. Approval
permits should be checked against the unit received.

D. Electrical Connections
DANGER: Never use an open flame to detect
gas leaks. Explosive conditions may exist which
would result in personal injury or death.
WARNING: Open all disconnect switches and
secure in that position before wiring unit. Failure
to do so may result in personal injury or death
from electrical shock.
WARNING: To avoid equipment damage or
possible personal injury, do not connect gas piping
to this unit until a supply line pressure/leak test
has been completed. Connecting the unit before
completing the pressure/leak test may damage
the unit gas valve and result in a fire hazard.
WARNING: Controls must be protected from
water. Do not allow water to drip on the
ignition system.
NOTE: Before installing any wiring, check the unit
rating plate for supply power rating.
The gas line should be supported so that no strain is
placed on the unit. Pipe compounds, which are not
soluble to liquid petroleum gases, should be used on
threaded joints.
All electrical connections and wiring must conform to the
current edition of:ANSI/NFPA No. 70 National Electrical
Code and applicable state and local codes.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 PSIG.
Entry location for all field-installed and control wiring is
located beside the control panel.
If optional disconnect is not furnished with heater, the
field provided disconnect must be of the proper size and
voltage. Refer to unit nameplate for minimum circuit
ampacity and voltage. The disconnect must be installed
in accordance with Article 430 of the current edition of
ANSI/NFPA No. 70 National Electrical Code.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressure equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.
Correctly sized piping must be run to the unit. Please note
that gas line pressure must be as shown on rating plate
when unit is operating at full input.
Check the supply voltage before energizing the unit. The
maximum voltage variation unbalance must not exceed 2%.
F. Field Wiring and Remote Control Installation
1. Connect the power lines to the line side of the main
disconnect switch.
NOTE: Should any original wire supplied with the
heater have to be replaced, it must be replaced
with wiring material having a temperature rating of
at least 105° C.
2. Mount and wire remote control panel, thermostats,
temperature sensors, and any other field installed
controls as indicated on the unit control wiring diagram.
3. Connect the wires to the appropriate field wiring
terminals as indicated on the unit control wiring diagram.
4. If the optional low-temperature limit was not an integral
part of the heater, the factory recommends that a low-
temperature limit control be installed in areas where
freeze protection is needed in the event of burner shut-
down.
E. Field Piping
All gas piping must be in accordance with the requirements
outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code - ANSI Z223.1. It
is required that a ground union be installed adjacent to the
manifold for easy servicing. A drip leg and/or filter should
be provided upstream of the unit’s inlet gas connection. A
shut-off must be located external of the unit’s enclosure.
The location of this valve must comply with all local codes.
A 1/8 inch N.P.T. test gauge connection must be installed
immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the
unit.
G. LocatingTemperature Controls
The room or outdoor thermostats should be mounted
where they will not be subjected to direct impact of
the heated air or radiant heat from the sun. It is also
recommended that thermostats, especially those with
mercury bulb contacts, be mounted on a vibration free
surface. Interior walls or the side of building columns away
from the heater are usually the location best suited for
mounting thermostats.
Refer to the heaters rating plate for determining the
minimum gas supply pressure for obtaining the maximum
gas capacity for which this heater is specified.
Controls with outdoor bulbs require that the outdoor bulb
be shielded from direct radiation from the sun. Unit mounted
sensors are factory located and mounted.

B. Lubrication Instructions
A slight showing of grease at the seals with accompanying
normal bearing temperature indicates proper lubrication.
Normal temperature can range from “cool” to “hot to
the touch” depending on size, speed and surrounding
conditions. Excessive bearing temperature indicates faulty
lubrication. An insufficient amount of grease is suggested
by a bearing showing no grease at the seals, and a higher
than normal temperature and noise level. Excessive
leakage of grease at the seals, and a high operating
temperature suggest too much grease.

Conditions
Lubrication of motors should be done while the motor is
warm and at a standstill. Remove and clean all grease plugs
and insert a grease fitting in the upper hole in the motor
casing at each end. (Viewed as if motor were sitting
horizontally on its base.) There may be one or two plugs
in each end casing of the motor. Add a small amount of
a clean, good grade ball bearing grease, such as Exxon
Polyrex EM or equal, with a low pressure grease gun. Run
the motor five minutes before removing the grease fittings
and replacing the plugs.
3. Dampers - Dampers should be inspected monthly for
securely fastened linkages and smooth operation. If
dampers are binding or excessively noisy, lubrication may
be required. Place one drop of #20 wt. machine oil on
each blade bearing and linkage ball joint. Do not over
lubricate. Wipe away any excess from the area. Be sure
to note that dampers over 49 inches long have intermedi-
ate bearings which require lubrication.
C. Air Filters
CAUTION: An excess of grease will overheat the
bearings.
All filter banks should be equipped with a manometer or
differential pressure switch to indicate when the filters are
dirty. Filters should be replaced when the differential
pressure across them reaches the manufacturer’s
recommended final value. Dirty filter elements should
be replaced with a clean element of the same type and
size. In addition, the manufacturer strongly recommends,
that air filters be checked every 30 days and replaced
with new filters (throw-away type) or cleaned (washable
type) as required. Cleanable filters should be given new
application of filter coating after washing to maintain
optimum filter performance.
NOTE: On totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC)
motors, the rear end fan housing must be removed
to expose the grease plugs.
2. Pillow Block Bearings - Pillow block bearings are used
on supply blower(s) as required. Bearings have been pre-
lubricated with a number 2 lithium base grease.
Relubrication should be done with a similar grease using
a low pressure grease gun. Wipe all grease fittings clean
before adding grease. Grease should be added slowly, in
small amounts at frequent intervals while the shaft is being
manually rotated.
The frequency of cleaning and replacing air filters applies
twelve months of the year where blowers are used for
ventilation and heating.

F. Gaskets
CAUTION: Do not over tighten belts.
Gaskets are used on doors, inspection covers, some filter
racks, and some outdoor air dampers. Inspect gaskets
periodically and repair or replace as required.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to tighten any belt or
belts by changing the pitch of an adjustable pulley.
This will change the air flow and fan speed.
Consult the factory if the fan speed must be
changed.
G. Heater
1. At least a yearly inspection is recommended for
heating installations and more frequently for process
applications in year-round operation. Your own
experience is the best guide in determining frequency
of inspection, but as a minimum, the following
procedure should be followed:
Suggested BeltTension Method
1. Check tension frequently during the first 24-48
hours of run-in operation. Ideal tension is the lowest
tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load
conditions. Over tensioning shortens belt and bearing
life.
a. Shut the system down totally, disconnecting or
locking out power supply so there can be no
accidental start-up during inspection.
2. To properly tension a conventionalV-belt drive,use the
following procedure:
b. Inspect the burner carefully, including upstream and
downstream sides of mixing plates as well as burner
body face. Note that complete burner assembly
may have to be removed for proper inspection and
cleaning. Any accumulation of scale or foreign
material on either side of the mixing plates should
be removed with a wire brush. Check visually that
no holes in the mixing plates are blocked. If any
burner ports are plugged, even partially, clear them
with a piece of wire. Consult the factory for
alternate procedures.
a. Measure the span length.
b. At the center of the span, apply a force perpendicular
to the span to deflect the belt 1/64 inch for every
inch of span length. For example, for a 40 inch
span, apply a force that will deflect the belt 40/64
or 5/8 of an inch.
c. Compare the force you have applied with the
values given in the table below. If the force is
between the values for normal tension and 1 1/2
times normal tension, the belt tension should be
satisfactory. If the belt tension is not within this
range, it can be adjusted by loosening the motor
mounting bolts and adjusting the position of the
motor along its base.
WARNING: Do not enlarge burner ports or
performance may be drastically affected.
If any mixing plates are loose or missing fasteners,
tighten or replace as necessary. Always use zinc
plated or stainless fasteners.
NOTE: A new drive can be tightened to two times
the minimum value shown to allow for normal
drop in tension during the run-in period.
The mixing plates on the burner may display
“hairline” cracks. These cracks are normal and
caused by thermal stresses occurring during com-
bustion. The presence of these “hairline” cracks in
no significant way affects the combustion efficiency
or performance of the heater. Should a large
opening develop, it may cause difficulties in cross
ignition of flame across the face of the burner. If
this does occur, the specific mixing plate or plates
involved must be replaced.
19
c. Put system back into operation and view burner
while cycling through full firing range. This will give
a visual check for blocked burner ports. Clean
burner ports as necessary using a #47 drill. Burner
plates should be cleaned with a wire brush at least
once a year.
3. Replace all access panels, which have been removed,
and operate the unit for a test period. Check for
normal response and function of all controls.
4. Check all gas piping for possible leaks using a soap
bubble solution.
2. Inspect the flame rod and ignition electrode for dirt
and moisture. Wipe off if necessary. Examine for any
evidence of premature arcing. If in doubt, check con-
tinuity of flame rod to be sure it is not grounding out.
Replace if required.
5. Inspect the support means to be sure that everything
is firmly anchored in place.
The porcelain on the ignition electrode must be intact,
not cracked.
SECTION IX - MAXON NP-I AIRLO® BURNERS
Inspection and Maintenance of Gas Ports
Conduct initial inspection within the first month after
commissioning.Visually check the gas ports of new burner
assemblies for any piping scale or debris. Use PinVise with
drill bit to remove.
Annual inspections are normally adequate once the initial
piping debris is removed.The operating conditions of the
burner will determine how frequently maintenance is actu-
ally required.
Use of an electric drill motor is not suggested unless both
PinVise and Drill (as shown) can be chucked up in a vari-
speed drill unit. Use caution, because it is easy to snap the
bits off in a port when using a drill motor. Removal of bro-
ken bits from the gas ports is difficult.
Alternate drill sizes which may be used are 5/64” (for #47)
and 1/16” (for #50).

PRELIMINARY CIRCUIT ANALYSIS - SYSTEM 14
For ease in troubleshooting, it is advisable to wire the
system as follows (this differs from the normal connection).
The Discharge Air Sensor is disconnected and replaced
with a 10,000 ohm,1/2 watt test resistor (terminals 3 and
4). If inlet air sensor is being used, disconnect and replace
with a jumper. On units where the Remote Temperature
Selector is located a considerable distance from the heater,
it may be advantageous to connect the selector at the
heater location.

1. Wire the system per Figure 1.
Connect a DC volt meter (capable of reading 0-24V DC)
on the Modulator or Modulator-RegulatorValve terminals.
Set the temperature to the minimum dial setting. The DC
voltage should read 0 volts. The DC voltage should
gradually increase to at least 20 volts as you slowly rotate
the dial to the maximum dial setting. If these voltages are
obtained, the valve function can now be checked out.
2. Connect a DC voltmeter to amplifier terminals #6
and #7.
3. Turn the Test-Potentiometer to minimum resistance
(2,000 ohms). The DC voltage should read 0 volts.
4. Turn the Test-Potentiometer slowly to maximum
resistance (12,000 ohms). The DC voltage should
gradually increase to at least 18 volts.
The operation of the valve with regard to voltage is as
follows: from 0 volts to approximately 5 volts, the
If proper voltages are observed, continue on with
Section 2.
modulating valve should be on bypass flow with the heater
operating on low or minimum fire. From approximately
5 volts to 15 volts DC, the valve should be performing its
modulating function and the heater should be firing at a
modulated flow rate between low and high fire, depending
on the voltage. Above approximately 15 volts DC, the
valve should be delivering full flow to the heater and the
unit should be on full fire. If the DC voltage is obtained
on the valve terminals, but the heater does not respond as
described, the problem can be isolated to the valve itself
or to the gas control manifold of the heater.
If proper voltages are not observed, the problem is
identified with the Amplifier, the 24-volt AC power
supply, or the circuit connected to terminals #6 and #7.
Section 2
1. Turn power OFF. Wire system per Figure 2. Turn
power ON.
2. Turn Test-Potentiometer to minimum resistance.
Voltage should be 0 volts.
3. Turn Test-Potentiometer slowly to maximum resistance.
The DC voltage should gradually increase to at least
18 volts.
In the event proper voltages are obtained and the valve
responds correctly to these DC voltages, the problem
could well be in the wiring leading to the Discharge Air
Sensor itself. This should also be reviewed in the check
list.
If proper voltages are observed in both Section 1 and
2, the amplifier is satisfactory.
If proper voltages are not observed, continue testing
to identify the difficulty. Faults may be identified with
the amplifier, the 24V power supply, or the circuit
connected to terminals #6 and #7.
If the proper voltages are not obtained when wired as
instructed, the problem can be isolated to the electronics
and this may once again be reviewed in the check list.
After test, remove the test resistor and reconnect the
Discharge Air Sensor to terminals 3 and 4. If Remote
Temperature Selector has been moved, return it to its
original position.
Section 3
1. Observe burner flames and/or burner pressure as
Test- Potentiometer is turned through full range.
NOTE: From 0-5 volts, heater should be at bypass
or low; 5-15 volts, heater should respond with vari-
ous input rates; beyond 15 volts, heater is at maxi-
mum input.
If proper operation is observed, continue procedure to
check operation of sensing and selecting components.
If proper operation is not observed, see Trouble-shoot-
ing Guide to test M and MR valves and connecting
wiring.

Section 4
Figure 1
1. With proper voltages observed thus far and modulator
responding correctly, wire the system (see Figure 1),
except have TS144 connected in place of jumper. Set
A1044 MIN temperature selector at least 10°F above
outdoor temperature. Set A1044 MAX temperature
selector at mid-range. Heater is now under control
by TS144 Discharge Air Monitor.
2. Turn Test-Potentiometer to maximum resistance.
Delivered air temperature should be per A1044 MAX
temperature setting. Turn Test-Potentiometer to
minimum resistance. Delivered air temperature
should be per A1044 MIN temperature setting. If
proper delivered air temperatures are observed, the
problem is identified with the space temperature
sensing and/or temperature selecting components and
circuits. See Troubleshooting Guide. If proper
delivered air temperatures are not observed, check
calibration. See Troubleshooting Guide.

SECTION XII - RECIRCULATION
WARNING: On heaters, which recirculate room
air, outside ventilation air must be provided in
accodance with the information shown on the
heater nameplate.
If gas fork trucks or other fossil fuel powered equipment
are utilized in the conditioned area, additional ventilation
requirements for the facility must be addressed separately.
The heater inlet shall be located in accordance with appli-
cable building code provisions for ventilation air.
Recirculation of room air may be hazardous in the pres-
ence of:
• flammable solids, liquids and gases
• explosive materials such as grain dust, coal dust,
gunpowder, etc.
Field constructed intake accessories should be properly
designed to minimize the entry of snow and rain.
All ventilation air to the heater shall be ducted directly
from the outdoors.
• substances such as refrigerants or aerosols which may
become toxic when exposed to heat or flame.
If in doubt regarding the application, consult the heater
manufacturer.
Recirculation is not recommended in uninsulated buildings
where outside temperatures fall below 32°F (0°C).
ETL labeled heaters must be equipped with a control sys-
tem and an air measuring station provided by the heater
manufacturer and installed on the return air damper or
duct.
Excessive recirculation or insufficient ventilation air, which
results in inadequate dilution of combustion products gen-
erated by the heater, may create hazardous concentrations
of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and other combus-
tion products in the heated space.
