GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
CHOOSING A SAFE LOCATION
When selecting a suitable mounting location for the heater, it is important to consider the following:
The heater must be installed with a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1 meters) between the floor and the bottom of
the heater in Canada. In the United States it must be installed with a minimum of 8 ft. (2.4 meters)
between the floor and the bottom of the heater, unless the optional protective grill is used, in which case
it may be installed with a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1 meters) between the floor and the bottom of the heater.
(See grill installation procedure, page 16)
The proposed mounting location allows for the minimum required safe distances to combustibles,
including vehicles that may be parked in the building, wood, gasoline and flammable objects, liquids
and vapours that may be stored in the space.
The proposed location will not restrict motion of passageway doors or windows, or the operation of the
overhead garage door.
The proposed location will provide the best coverage of the total area to be heated.
The proposed location will allow the required utilities (i.e. gas, and electric) and venting to be installed
(bearing in mind the minimum and maximum vent length requirements).
Sufficient clearances will exist to allow for maintenance.
Overhead structural members are available, and suitably strong to support the heater assembly.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Regardless of the vent arrangements that will be connected to the heater, the following general guidelines for
venting must be followed:
The 3" (7.6 cm) flue pipe must be centered inside the 5" (12.7 cm) air supply pipe using the centering
guides supplied.
IMPORTANT: THE FLUE PIPE AND AIR SUPPLY PIPE MUST BE SECURE. IF NOT SECURE,
THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HEATER AND VOID WARRANTY.
All horizontal venting sections must slope away from the heater at a rate of 1/4" (6 mm) per foot.
The total length of vent pipe (horizontal and vertical) must not exceed 12 ft. (3.6 meters) and must not
be less than 2 ft. 6 inches (.7 meters)
The vent terminal, mounted outside of the building should not be located above walkways. Condensate
produced during operation of the heater could drip onto the walkway and form ice during cold weather
resulting in a dangerous condition.
Be sure that the venting installation is in accordance with all applicable local codes and
recommendations of the local gas supplier.
DO NOT connect the heater to a separate chimney, and DO NOT common vent with any other fuel-
burning appliance.
Seal all vent pipe connections with high temperature silicone sealant and secure each connection with
three sheet metal screws.

ELECTRICAL SERVICE INSTALLATION
The HeatWave heater requires a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet to be installed within 3 ft. (.9 meters) of the
rear surface of the heater’s burner box. Extension cords may not be used. It is recommended that the outlet for
the heater be ceiling mounted and should be a dedicated circuit.
Heater rating: 120 VAC, 60 Hz, Single Phase, and 1 amp
The heater must be electrically grounded in accordance with the following codes: Canada: Refer to Canadian
Electrical code, CSA C22.1 Part-1 latest revision. In the United States refer to National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA-70- latest revision.
THERMOSTAT
A 24 VAC thermostat, supplied with the heater, controls the Heatwave. Thermostat wire is not supplied.
Purchase 18 - 22 AWG double strand wire for this purpose.
Mount the thermostat on an exterior wall whenever possible.
Mount the thermostat approximately 5 ft. (1.5 meters) above the floor.
Mount the thermostat so that it is not in the direct ray of infra red energy from the heater.
Connect one end of the thermostat wire to the 2 terminals on the thermostat. Run the thermostat wire to the
thermostat connection on the rear of the burner box. Make sure that the thermostat wire is free of staples or
tacks as this can interfere in the operation of the thermostat.
GAS SERVICE INSTALLATION
A ½ inch (1.2 cm) gas connection is required at the rear of the heater. All gas supply piping must be done by a
qualified and licensed professional familiar with the installation of this type of appliance. All gas piping must
be in accordance with all local and nation codes on the installation of gas burning appliances. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO RUN GAS LINES YOURSELF. This could result in loss of life, serious injury and/or property
damage.

18
GRILL INSTALLATION
The protective grill is optional. The protective grill must be used for installations in the United States where the
distance from the bottom of the heater to the floor is less than 8 ft. (2.4 meters) If using the protective grill for
installations in the United States, the bottom of the heater may be a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1 meters) above the
floor.
OPERATING SEQUENCE
The Easy Radiant gas burner is a very simple device. The normal sequence of events during ignition and
operation of the burner is as follows:
1. The heater is energized by means of a thermostat or switch.
2. When 24 volts is applied to the module, the module will energize the blower and close the airswitch.
3. The current flows and energizes the igniter and reaches ignition temperature. No gas flows until the
valve is energized and opened.
4. Air pressure generated by the blower will cause the normally open combustion pressure switch to close.
The combustion pressure switch is set to allow the normal rate of combustion air to flow into the
combustion chamber. Any restriction or blockage will cause the pressure switch to open and shut down
the entire system.
5. The current passes through the blocked flue pressure switch, which is normally closed. Any blockage or
restriction will cause the pressure switch to open and shut down the entire system.
6. After 17 seconds, the valve is energized and opened. Gas flows through the burner and is ignited.
7. The power is removed from the igniter. The flame sensor is utilized. As long as a flame is present, the
valve is held open. If the flame is lost, the control acts to close the valve within one second and a new
trial sequence to start up is initiated.
8. If ignition is not achieved, or flame is not sensed, then the control closes, the gas valve, and attempts
ignition a second time, and if necessary a third time. If ignition is not achieved after the third try, the
control goes into lockout for 30 minutes and power must be interrupted before trying again. At this
point it is suggested that an authorized service person be contacted to inspect and test the controls.
9. The heater should continue to function until power is interrupted either by the thermostat being satisfied
or manually disconnected.
