1.3 Equipment Description
THIS EQUIPMENT IS INTENDED FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY
WARNING!
The D-1000B model is a compact and mobile, indirect fuel fired air heater that uses 120 volts, 60 Hz input power which
burns JP8, Diesel #1 and Diesel #2 fuel. The heater contains a stainless steel dual Combustion Chamber, a Fuel Pump
and an Electric Motor. A fan, which is mounted on the forward side of the motor, propels additional air into the
combustion chamber as well as around the outside of the chamber. The air which flows around the chamber is heated
through contact with the chamber exterior walls and is sent out of the heater. The air used in the chamber for combustion
is expelled through the exhaust stack. The D-1000B heater was designed for simple maneuverability (wheel-able and
equipped with snow slides). The heaters are stackable for maximum storage efficiency.

1.4 Major Components
1.4.1 Shell
The D-1000B Heater features a two-piece, molded polymer composite outer body that is rust-resistant and shockproof.
The upper cover quickly detaches for service to the combustion chamber, electric motor, or fuel pump assembly by
removing four pins as shown in Figure 5-1.
1.4.2 Fuel Tank
The fuel tank is made of steel and is corrosion proof. The fuel tank has an internal fuel level indicator gauge cap and a
drain plug located underneath the fuel tank. Fill tank with JP8, Diesel #1 or Diesel #2 fuel. Fuel tank capacity is 10.8 US
Gallons (41 Liters).
1.4.3 Combustion Chamber
The D-1000B has a dual combustion chamber made of stainless steel and is fully welded to provide clean warm air. The
heater is equipped with ten seconds pre-ventilation cycle to “clean” the combustion chamber once the heater is turned off;
a post ventilation time is automatically regulated by the fan thermostat. During this time the combustion chamber
temperature decreases and this free heat is blown into the area.
1.4.4 Burner Head
The burner head contains the fuel nozzle, dual electrodes, ignition cables and a flame detector.
1.4.5 Electric Motor
The electric motor drives the fuel pump assembly and a fan which propels additional air into the combustion chamber.
1.4.6 Control System
The D-1000B heater has all operational controls located in a watertight control panel mounted on the side of the unit. The
control panel consists of a 3-positioned switch for power, normal operation and thermostat operation, an outlet to connect
the remote thermostat / CO detector and a reset button. The control system utilizes a safety shut-off switch if flame is not
detected, a high temperature switch if ducts become blocked and a safety shut-off switch upon detecting 100ppm of CO
content.

1.4.7 Performance
With a water-tight control panel, the D-1000B heater was designed to operate in all different types of environmental
conditions. A pre-heated fuel filter allows heater to work at extreme low temperatures. When operating the D-1000B
heater, the noise level when measured at a distance of 3’ (Ft) from the control panel is 76dB. With the remote thermostat
/ CO detector attached, the heater may be operated remotely from within the shelter. The D-1000B has a fuel
consumption rate of 0.81 US Gallon per hour (GPH), approximately 12 hrs of continuous run-time without refueling.
1.4.8 Auxiliary Equipment
Each D-1000B heater will include the following auxiliary equipment:
An exhaust stack.
Two heater ducts (supply and return); 12”dia x 15’ length with transport bags.
A remote control Thermostat / CO (Carbon Monoxide) Detector with a 26’ power cord.

D-1000B Heater Operations & Maintenance
2.4.1 Heater
The following safety precautions should be observed:
The D-1000B heater must be used OUTDOORS ONLY.
Always follow local ordinances and codes when using this heater.
Always remove the fabric covers from each end of the heater before operating.
Operate the heater outdoors; upright with the exhaust stack attached and away from flammable or explosive
materials (the minimum distance must be 6.5 ft / 2 m).
Ensure fire extinguisher / equipment is readily available.
Unplug heater when not in use.
Before performing any maintenance or repair work, you must:
Turn the power switch to the off position.
Wait for the heater to cool down.
Unplug the heater from the power supply.
These safety precautions are necessary to prevent serious personal injury or death.
Keep the heater enclosure clean and cleared of any debris within the shell.
Ensure the stack and ducts are clear of any obstructions that would restrict airflow.
Do not operate heater without the top cover properly installed.
Do not operate the heater without the fan properly installed.
Ensure your body and clothing stay clear of all moving parts.
Immediately stop the heater and fix any fuel leaks.
Do not perform maintenance while the heater is operating.
CAUTION
Keep all solvents, cleaners or flammable liquids away. Adequate ventilation must be
available. Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid fire, explosion, and any other health
hazards. Always use protective equipment to prevent personal injuries to the head,
face, eyes, hands, and feet.
2.4.2 Safety Protections
The D-1000B heater has the following safety devices installed:
Flame Detector Safety Shut-off Switch: In case of the flame extinguishing, the safety shut-off switch will cut in
and stop the heater; at the same time the reset button will illuminate (See Figure 4-1, Item #1).
High Temperature Limit Switch: If the heater ducts become blocked (exceeding 250°F), the high temperature
limit switch shuts down the heater.
CO Safety Shut-off Switch: This safety shut-off switch will shut down the heater upon detecting 100 PPM of
Carbon Monoxide.
Thermostatic Safety Switch (TSS): When the heater is switched off, the TSS assures that the fan continues to
run until the surface temperature of the combustion chamber drops, assuring a safe restart.
Fan Pressure Switch: When the fan stops working, this device disables ignition and cuts fuel supply.
