5
10 LOCATION
The location chosen for the air heaters must permit the provision of a satisfactory flue system and an
adequate air supply. The location must also provide adequate space for servicing and air circulation
around the air heater.
The air heaters must be installed str~ctly in accordance with any fire regulations or insurance company's
requirements appertaining to the area in which the heater is located, particularly where special fire risks
are involved such as areas where petrol vehicles are housed, where cel'lulose spraying is carried out, in
woodworking departments, etc.
The air heaters must be installed on a level non-combustible surface which is capable of adequately
supporting the weight of the air heaters and any ancillary equipment. The heaters must be stable or rigidly
fixed in order to prevent hazard to personnel.
The air heaters must not be installed in conditions for which it is not specifically designed, e.g. where the
atmosphere is highly corrosive or salty and where high wind speeds may affect burner operation.
If the location of the air heater is such that it might suffer external mechanical damage, e.g. from overhead
cranes, fork lift trucks, it should be suitably protected.
Any combustible material adjacent to the air heater and the flue system must be so placed or shielded as
to ensure that its temperature does not exceed 65°C (150°F).

1E GAS SUPPLY
Service pipes
The local gas region should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order to establish the
availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the local gas region.
Meters
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe by the local gas region or a local gas region contractor.
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas region, to ensure that the meter is adequate
to deal with the rate of gas supply required.
Installation pipes
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with British Standards Code of Practice No. CP331:3.
Pipework from the meter to the air heater must be of adequate size. Do not use pipes of smaller size than
the air heater gas connection.
The complete installation must be tested as described in the above code.

1F BOOSTED SUPPLIES
Where it is necessary to employ a gas pressure booster the controls must include a jow pressure cut-off
switch at the booster inlet.
The Ilocal gas region must be consulted before a gas pressure booster is fitted.

1G FLUE SYSTEM
Refer to British Gas Publication No.1 M/11 - Flues for Commercial and Industrial Gas Fired Boilers and
Air Heaters.
The Pakaway heaters do not require a draught diverter, they are supplied with an integral flue-box all owing
for the direct connection to an individual open-flue system.
Materials used for the flue system should be mechanically robust, resistant to internall and external
corrosion, non-combustible and durable under t he conditions to which they are likely to be subjected.
Prevention of condensation within the flue shou lld be an important factor in the design o~ the flue system.
In order to minimise condensation the use of double walled flue pipe or insulation is recommended. If
double walled flue pipe is used it shou ld be of a type acceptable to BriHsh Gas.
Where condensation in the flue is unavoidable provision should be made for the condensate to flow freely
to a point at which it can be released, preferably into a gully. The condensate pipe from the flue to the
disposal point should be of non-corrodible material of not I'ess than 22mm (%in) size.
Facilities should be made for disconnecting the flue pipe from the air heater for inspection and servicing
purposes. Bends with removable covers should be fitted for inspection and cleaning purposes where
considered appropriate.
The flue system should ensure safe and efficient operation of the air heater to which it is attached, protect
the combustion process from wind effects, and disperse the products of combustion to the external air.
The flue should terminate in a freely exposed position and must be situated so as to prevent the products
of combustion entering an opening in a building in such concentration as to be prejudicial to health or a
nuisance.
It i's recommended that a terminal be fitted at the flue outl'et.
6
 1H AIR SUPPLY

Refer to ~tish Gas Publication - Combustion and Ventilation Air.

In all cases there must be provision for an adequate supply of air for both combustion and general
ventilation.
(a) Where heater is sited within area to be heated
So far as any ventilation requirements are concerned, the installer should take note of any mandatory
requirements for the provision of permanent air vents direct to outside. Any such air vents should
have negligible resistance and must not be sited in any position where it is likely to become easily
blocked or flooded nor in a position where it is possible for the i ngress of toxic or flammable vapour.
However, if the heater is sited within a building with an air infiltration rate of less than 0.5 per hour or
where the buil d ing volume is less than 2.2 m3 per KW of heater input, then ventilation should be
provided in accordance with the table of recommended minimum sizes.
(b) Where heater is si.t ed within a plant room or conf,i ned area
Where the heater is sited within a plant room or other confined area, then provision must be made for
the positive connection of either return air with high and low level ven tilation in accordance with
BS 6230 or if return air is through a louvre arrangement then the return air louvre must be of
adequate size so as not to starve the main air distribution fan of air in addition to which the
combustion air must enter through a duct which positively connects the burner combustion air fan to
outside. Under no circumstances must the burner be left to operate within an area of negative
pressure without a combustion air duct.
It is recommended that for applications such as (b) that you contact our Technical Department.
(c) Where the heater i's to operate within a toxic, corrosive or flammable atmosphere

Under these circumstances, please consult our Technical Department.

The basic minimum effective area requirement of the air vent is as follows:

2C CONNECTION OF HEATER TO FLUE SYSTEM

The heaters do not normally require a draught stabiliser, as they are supplied with an integra~ flue-box
allowing for the direct connection to an individual open flue system.
The flue pipe disposes of the gases from the burner and its correct functioning is a most vital part of the
heater.
Make sure the flue pipe is sealed into the socket on the heater and elsewhere using a suitable sealant

material. If a draught stabiliser is fitted, check that it is in the closed pOSition. Check that it is free to move

and not prevented from swinging by foreign objects or damaged in any way.

It Is imperative that where a flue passes through roof, this opening is properly sealed by roof plate
and cravat to ensure no water e nters.
NO CLAIMS FOR ANY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM INGRESS OF WATER WILL BE CONSIDERED.
Flue pipes must not have sharp bends. Easy obtuse bends are necessary to assist the flow of gases. Flue
terminal cowls as demanded by site conditions are necessary.
Care must be taken that the flue height and materials used, meet all the necessary requirements and
codes. (Refer to General Requirements on page 5 of these instructions.)

20 GAS CONNECTION
Heater models 100, 150, 200, 300, 400 & 500
Fit burner gas train to burner at union connection on the underside of blast-tube, the gas train can be
positioned for either left or right hand gas supply pipe connection.
Fit the two electric plugs on the flying leads from the gas train into the sockets located on the back face of
the burner, these plugs are not interchangeable.
Heater model 600, 800, 1000
Fit burner gas train to burner at flange connection on the underside of blast-tube using gasket and fixings
·supplied. The gas train can be positioned for either left or right hand gas supply pipe connection.
Fit the three electric plugs on the flying leads from the gas train into the sockets located on the underside
of the burner housing. (Note: The 3 pin plugs on the pilot gas valves can be safely interchanged.)
The gas pipework should be sized to produce the required gas volume so that at least the minimum inlet
pressure (see page 25) is obtained to the burner manifold, to give the required head pressure.
9
 The local gas region prefer to be consulted regarding each installation and they will advise as to the
pressure of gas supply and the recommended pipe sizes for single or multi-heater installations.
Note: Each heater must be fitted with a gas supply isolating cock and a suitable union. (The cock to be
upstream and adjacent to the union which in turn must be upstream of the burner outlet.)
These items can be supplied as an optional.
Under no circumstances must the gas pipework be used as an electrical earth.

2E ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Note: All electrica'i wiring and connections must be made in accordance with the I.E.E. regulations. Check
any local regulations that apply, Le. garage installations or hazardous environments.
Check rating plate on heater for supply voltage requirements. Connect supply from a suitably fused
isolator or a local isolator on a suitably fused supply to the mains terminal strip in the wiring chassis of the
air heater (see wiring diagram on page 31).
Remove screws retaining front air inlet panel and remove panel for access to wiring chassis.
All external wiring must be enclosed within approved conduit. Conduit from isolator switch must run so as
not to interfere with service panels of the air heater.
Whether a single heater or a number are to be wired as part of a single installation, an isolator must be
provided, so that each heater can be separately d,i sconnected. The isolator switch shouId be located in a
readHy accessible position. Each heater should be independently fused.
Controls from one heater to another heater must not be interwired.

3A PRELIMINARY PRECAUTIONS
All heaters must be commissioned. test fired and serviced by a competent gas engineer.
a) Before attempting any check; switch off electrical supply to heater at main isolating switch
and remove fuses.
b) Shut off main gas isolating cock to unit.
Note: The unit is·not isolated electrically until the main isolator is switched off and the fuses are removed.
Switchi,ng off at the summer/winter switch ils not sufficient when work is being carried out on the unit.

3B CONTROL CHASSIS CHECK

Remove screws retaining front air inlet panel and remove panel for access to wiring chassis.

Check that all wires on control chassis are secure, and tHat no strands of multi-strand cables are near, or

bridging across terminals or to earth.

Check that reset buttons operate freely.

3C TIME SWITCH CHECK

Aqjust time switch for required ON/OFF sequence.

Refer to page 28 for setting instructions.

3D ROOM THERMOSTAT CHECK

The operation of the room thermostat can be checked as follows:­

With the indicator set to the high limit of the scale and the burner firing, slowly reduce the scale setting, at
actual room temperature, the burner should shut down. After the test the room thermostat should be set to
the temperature required.

3E FROST THERMOSTAT
This is wired across switched circuit by-passing the time switch control and wil l not effect commissioning
and testing whilst time switch is on ON cycle.

3F FAN LIMIT THERMOSTAT CHECK

Check and ensure that the combination fan I'imit thermostat settings are as specified below:

FAN OFF = 30°C (86°F)

FAN ON = 60°C (140°F)

LIMIT = 120°C (250°F)
Make sure the combination control is set to auto Le. white button pulled outwards. Some models also have
a RED reset button. Push to reset If this red reset button requires operating during normal service of the
heater, the cause should be determined and rectified as soon as possible to avoid possible damage to the
heater.
These settings must not be increased, although the fan ON and fan OFF can be lowered if desired.

3G EXPLOSION RELIEF DOOR CHECK

Check that the door is free to open and that it is not obstructed in any way by piping etc.

3H FAN CHECK

Important: First isolate electrical supply and remove fuses.

Remove screws retaining air inlet panel and remove panel for access to fan.

Rotate fan by hand to check that it is running freely, and that it is free from foreign bodies in the fan

blades.

Check pulley tightness on shafts.

Check fan belt tension which should give approximately 6mm (1/4in) belt movement up and down at mid­
001 t. Adjust by moving motor on slide rails.
Jc k tightness of fan shaft bearing locking coHars.

Replace air inlet panel and retaining screws.

Replace fuses and switch on e.l ectrical supply to unit.

Check rotation of fan.

,,

 Move summer/winter switch to 'Summer' to run fan only. Fan should run in direction giving the most air

volume from the unit. If it runs in the reverse direction, return switch to OFF, turn off electrical supply at

. main isolating switch and remove fuses. Then reverse any two of the incoming phases at the heater
terminal block. Replace fuses. Turn on isolator. Check again for correct rotation. Return switch to OFF
position.
Models 100/300 have single phase direct drive fan units. Check details as applicable.

31 FLUE PIPE ARRANGEMENT

3R LIGHTING THE AIR HEATER

When all the commissioning checks have been completed the following procedure should be adopted for

lighting the burner and carrying out combustion checks.

i) Open all gas valves.

ii) Set the time switch to an 'ON' cycle.

iii) Ensure that the thermostat(s) are calling for heat

iv) Set summer/winter switch to 'Winter' position.

v) Switch on the mains electricity supply to heater. The heater should now start.

The normal burner start-up cycfe is as follows:­

Thermostats etc.

Motor

Ignition transformer

Start gas valves

Start gas flame

Main gas valve

Main flame

If main flame cannot be established, then contact Pakaway.

Do not attempt to open the burner control box as once the seals are broken the guarantee is void.
After a flame has been established check for gas soundness around the air heater gas components using
a leak detection fluid.

3S MAIN BURNER GAS PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

After the burner has been firing for at least 10 minutes check the gas pressure at the burner head is as

listed -in data sheet on page 25. Adjust the pressure if necessary at the gas governor in the gas train line

or on the monobloc if fitted.

The main burner pressure test point is located at the side of gas inlet to the burner head.

3T COMBUSTION CHECK
When the correct gas pressure has been established, adjust the combustion air shutter at the burner to
give carbon dioxide (C02) reading at the flue outlet of 8.5 to 9.0%.
Secure the air shutter.
The flame can be viewed from the viewing port on the burner or from the explosion relief door on the back
face of the heater on models 100 to 600 and on front face of heater on 800 and 1000 models. Care
should be taken when doing this as it is a pressurized combustion chamber.
IdeaUy the burner flame should be close to the burner head, pale blue in colour and have sl'ightly whitish

yellow tips to the flame end. The flame must not impinge on the end or side of the combustion chamber.

3U AIR PRESSURE SWITCH SETTING

Adjust the setting of the air pressure switch after all other adjustments have taken place, starting from the
sett ing at the bottom of the scale.
While the burner is firing, increase the pressure by slowly turning the regulating knob clockwise until gas

valve closes.

Then turn the knob back by two turns and restart the burner, thereby checking that it functli ons correctly,

should the burner again go to lockout, turn the knob back by one more full turn.

3V FLAME FAILURE LOCK-OUT CHECt'

I'f flame fai l ure occurs when the burner is firing lock-out should take place within one second.
To check this turn off the main gas supply isolating valve whilst the burner is firing and the neon light in
the burner control, box reset button should come on immediately.
To restart burner, open gas isolating valve and press burner control box reset button, the burner will then
go through the normal start-up cycle.

3W GENERAL
When all checks are complete replace the burner cover and tighten the three retaining screws. Finally
recheck the combustion to make sure that the fitting of the burner cover has not altered any conditions.
Re-adjust all controls to suit customers requirements.
Note: During all tests when the burner is firing the main heater fan operates independently under control
of the fan thermostat.

3X USER INSTRUCTIONS - ADVICE TO USEIR

Upon satisfactory completion of commissioning and testing hand the User's Instructions to the user or
purchaser and explain the method of economic and efficient operating of the system.
Ensure that the user or purchaser is fully conversant with the lighting, shut down and general operational
procedure.
Advise the user or purchaser that for continued efficient and safe operation of the air heater, it is
important that adequate servicing is carried out at regular intervals.
Replace the burner-body to the blast tube making sure the leads to the electrode and flame probe are re­
connected, the use of pliers will help in connecting tlhe two leads. Replace the securing screws.
Replace the electric plugs on the f,lying leads from the gas train into the sockets located on the underside
of the burner housing. (Note: The 3 pin plugs on the pilot gas valves can be safely interchanged.)
Remove the top burner cover to give access to burner controls and wiring and check all the electrical
connections are secure.
Replace top burner cover.
4. Testing

When servicing is completed, replace the fuses and switch on main electric supply.

Check gas soundness of the gas line as described on pages 13 to 16.

Light the heater and carry out all the tests as described in the Commissioning and Testing Instructions.

Quote heater model, serial number and code number when ordering spare parts.

Section Four - Servicing of Air Heater

The air heater is constructed to give long trouble free service, but in common with all mechanical
apparatus, it needs periodic attention.
The following routine of maintenance checks should be carried out annually, preferably before
commencement of the heating season.
Before commencing maintenance, isolate heater as follows:
Set summer/winter switch to 'OFF' position. Turn off main gas isolating valve. Switch off main electric
supply isolator and remove fuses.

1. Clean flue box and heat exchanger unit

Remove the access covers on the flue box and brush the flue ways, flue box and flue system.

Remove all loose carbon material before replacing the access covers.

2. Clean main fan and housing and check fan belt tensions

Remove front and back air inlet pane,ls for access to fan housing.

Clean main fan of dust, paper etc. and check bearings for wear.

Check tightness of belts, pulleys on fan and motor shafts, tighten set screws if necessary.

Check fan belt tension which should give approximately 6mm (1f4in) belt movement up and down at mid­

point. Adjust by moving motor on slide rails.

If all adjustment is taken up replace belt(s).

Note: Some units are fitted with direct drive main fans - if so, omit only the above references to belts and

pulleys.

Replace back air inlet panel.

Before replacing front air inlet panel examine the electrics for loose connections and check reset button(s)

operate freely.
Replace front air inlet panel.

3. Burner servicing
Riello Gas burner on heater modells 100, 150, 200, 300, 400 & 500
Remove the electric plugs on the Hying leads from the gas train, from the sockets on the back face of the

burner.

After removing the burner cover, remove top of burner fan housing by undoing securing screw. This gives

access to the electrode and flame probe leads.

Remove these leads and the burner can now be separated from the blast tube by loosening the nut and

turning the latch at the top front of the blast tube.

Remove the socket head screw and remove firing head from the blast tube. Brush clean if necessary.

Check that the ignition electrode and flame probe are pOSitioned as shown on page 26, also clean

electrodes and check porcelains for hairlline cracks, dust and carbon.

Replace firing head and adjust as described in the 'Burner Check Up' on page 12 in the Commissioning

and Testing Instructions.

Replace the burner to the blast tube and replace latch and tighten nut.

Before replacing leads to electrode and flame probe make sure the burner fan ,housing and all burner

components are clean and free of dust.

Re-connect the plugs on the flying leads from the gas train into the sockets on the burner.

Examine all the electrical connections to burner and controls.

IMPORTANT
Don't turn the ionisation probe, but leave it in the position as shown on the figure above; if moved towards
the ignition electrode the amplifier of the control-box could get damaged.

70 IONISATION CURREN.T
The minimum safe level of ionisation current to enable the control-box to operate correctly and detect a
gas-flame is 2 uA (two micro amps).
The control box will of course, under normal circumstances, never be required to operate under such a
small signal condition, by correctly positioning the flame electrode.
To test the ionisation current (and hence the flame signal strength) a direct current micro-ammeter should
be inserted in series with the flame electrode. as per diagram.

7E COMBUSTION HEAD ADJUSTMENT - GAS 2 BURNER
Two separate adjustments have to be made. one for the air and one for the gas settings; these are carried
out when the firing head is still separate from the burner body, during installation.
Air setting
Loosen the screw (1), move the elbow (2) so that its rear (3) coincides with the chosen stop-gate number
on the graduate stop-plate scale.
Then tighten the screw (1) with a 6mm AUen Key.
Gas setting
Loosen the screw (5), and turn the ring nut (6) so that the pointer (7) coincides with the chosen stop-gate
number on the calibrated scale (8).
Then tighten the screw (5).

7F AIR PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the setting of the air pressure switch after all other arrangements have taken place, starting from
the setting at the bottom of its scale.
While the burner is firing, increase the pressure by slowly turning the reglating knob clockwise, until the
solenoids close.
Then, turn the knob back by two turns and restart the burner, thereby checking that it functions regularly;
should another closing of the solenoids follow, turn back by one more full turn.

7H COMBUSTION HEAD ADJUSTMENT- GAS 3 BURNER
Two separate adjustments have to be made, one for the air and one for the gas; these are carried out

when the firing head is still separate from the burner body, during installation.

Air setting _

Loosen the two screws (1) and move the internal part of the firing head (2), so that its rear edge (3) is level

with the desired set-point on the plate (4). Then retighten the screws (1).

Gas setting

Loosen the screw (5), move the ring (6) so that the pointer (7) is level with the desired set-point (8). Then

tighten the screw (5).

7J SETTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRASSLIN TYPE SF SERIES TIME SWITCH

1. Access to the programme dial for time setting
To gain access to the programme dial for time seWng remove the Makrolon front cover by lifting off. This
exposes the 7 day programme dial and tappet slots on its rim into which the coloured tappets are inserted
to suit the switching programme.
2. Programme dial rotation
The programme dial is rotated by turning the top minute hand on the clock display in a clockwise
di'rection. During this operation a certain amount of noise is emitted from the gear movement as it is
rotated but this is normal and is in no way detrimental to the functioning of the control.
The main diall makes one revolution in 7 days with the markings in 24 hour clock system, though the clock
display is 12 hour system.
Important: Under no circumstances should the programme dial, be forced round in either direction as
damage to the gear assembly and switch will result.
Do not rotate programme dial by hand. Proglramme dial must be advanced by rotating minute hand
only.
3. Initial setting procedure
(a) Remove all tappets from the dial rim then commence the setting procedure by inserting a 'Green'
tappet embossed '1' into the slot at the required 'ON' time in the Monday segment on the dial, then a
'Red' tappet embossed '0' at the 'OFP time on that day noting that the 24 hour clock is used (6
rel'a tes to 6a.m. and 18 relates to 6p.m.). Minimum switching interval 3 hours.
(b) Repeat the operation in (a) for Tuesday, Wednesday etc. even though the 'ON' and 'OFP time may be
the same for each day.
(c) Where omission of any day or part is required it is only necessary to leave out completely the tappets
for that period as after operation of a 'Red' 'OFP tappet no switching will occur until the next 'Green'
'ON' tappet is operated.
(d) Check the tappet setting to ensure that 'Green' and 'Red' tappets alternate on the di,al and that a
'Green' tappet is always followed by a 'Red' tappet in a switching period. Spare tappets should be
placed in the parking holes provided.
(e) Adjust the time switch by rotating the minute hand on the clockface in a clockwise direction until
the correct day is opposite the .. on the dial located near the contact position indicator. FinalJ,y set
the clock hands to the correct time of day remembering the 24 hour telltale markilllg on each day on
the dial.
')P
4. Changing the programme
When introducing a change in the switching programme follow the initial setting procedure unless
repositioning of the tappets for a change can be effected so that instruction 3(d) stili applies, and that it is
for a day other than indicated by the arrow ...
5. Replace the Makrolon front cover ensuring that the notches on the cover locate in the slots in the
case.
6. The time switch is now ready for service.
7. Manual override
Turning the knob, located at one corner of the time switch, in an anti-clockwise direction, opens or closes
the switch contacts from '1' to '0' or '0' to '1' anticipating the next operation. This does not affect
subsequent switching programme, as already set.
WARNING: If difficulty is experienced in turning the manual override button, this will be due to the normal
operating tappets engaging with the override mechanism. Do not force under these conditions or
permanent damage may be caused. Wait for 15-20 minutes or advance the time by 15-20 minutes - see 2
and 3 above to allow the tappet to move from the position causing the problem.
