Installations in Canada must conform to the National Standards of Canada
CAN/CGA-B 149.1&2-M86, and all local codes.
In the United States the installation of this appliance must conform with
ANSI standard Z223.1 entitled “National Fuel Gas Code” and any applicable
local codes. Heaters installed in aircraft hangers must be installed in
accordance with American National Standards for Aircraft Hangers,
ANSI/NFPA no. 409. Heaters in public garages must be installed in
accordance with NFPA No. 88A standards for parking structures.
Each heater must be electrically grounded in accordance with the CSA
Canadian Electric Code C22.1 and in the U.S. the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 when an external electrical source is utilized.
The gas inlet supply and normal operating manifold pressure for each
heater are as follows. For gas supply line pressures in excess of ½ PSIG,
consult with your representative from the factory.
Infrared Heat
“The Equator” heaters are effective in heating outdoor spaces because
they utilize infrared or radiant heat. Infrared energy is the same type of
energy we get from the sun. Infrared energy warms people and objects
without heating the intervening air. Unlike the sun “The Equator” does
not produce Ultraviolet (UV) rays that can be harmful. Infrared energy
travels by line-of-sight so the designer must be aware that doors, panels or
windows may obstruct the infrared energy from reaching the desired
location. Overlapping infrared patterns from numerous heaters may be used
effectively to provide even heat distribution.
Because infrared heaters heat people and objects, and thermostats
measure air temperature, a thermostat may not be the best method for
controlling outdoor heaters. Where multiple heaters are used, it is
suggested that they be switched independently, so as to allow for flexibility
in heating larger areas as the space becomes more occupied. A timer is a
good method to ensure that all heaters are turned off when the patio is not
being used.
Clearances & Safe Mounting Practices.
“The Equator” must be installed, so that the “minimum clearances to
combustibles” are maintained. Combustible materials are considered to be
wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, or other materials capable of being
ignited and burned. Such materials shall be considered combustible even
though flameproofed, fire retardant treated or plastered. Additional
clearances may be required for glass, painted surfaces, plastics, vinyls and
other materials which may be damaged or melted by radiant or convection
heat. A minimum clearance of 24 inches (61 cm) above “The Equator”
must be maintained to plastics, vinyls or any other materials that may be
adversely affected by radiant or convection heat.

5
Clearance Guidlines
“The Equator” must be installed with adequate space around each unit.
When placed near wood or other flammable materials, appropriate
clearances from combustible materials must be maintained. Even if
materials surrounding “The Equator” are non-combustible, adequate
space around “The Equator” is required to provide sufficient combustion
air, ventilation of exhaust gases, and the general safe operation of “The
Equator”.They must NEVER be installed inside building recesses or
inside a soffit. Fire sprinkler heads must be located an appropriate distance
from “The Equator”, or a sprinkler head with a high enough temperature
rating, that normal operation of “The Equator” will not activate, must be
used. Please refer to local fire codes for guidelines for locating sprinkler
heads near heaters.
Warning:
The clearances below are also applicable to vehicles parked below heaters.
Applicable to natural gas and propane heaters.

Gas Piping
A ½” X 24” (1.2cm x 61 cm) LONG FLEXIBLE GAS HOSE (SUPPLIED)
TO BE INSTALLED AT THE UNIT
1. A minimum pipe size of ½” (1.2 cm) is required for inlet piping. A ½”
(1.2 cm) lever handled shut-off gas cock should be installed within 6
feet of “The Equator” for servicing the unit.
2. Check with local and provincial plumbing and heating codes
regarding sizing of the gas lines.
3. All gas pipe connections to the heater(s) must be sealed with a gas
pipe compound resistant to liquefied petroleum gases.
4. Installation of a drip leg in the gas supply line going to each heater is
required to minimize the possibility of any loose scale or dirt within
the gas supply line from entering “The Equator” control system.
5. When checking for gas leaks, do not use an open flame. Use a soap
and water solution.
6. For gas supply line pressures in excess of ½ psig, consult the factory
or your local representative.
7. Installation of 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gage
connections, is required upstream of the gas supply connection to
“The Equator”.

“The Equator” must be installed in a location so that it is readily
accessible for servicing and have no restriction of airflow to the air inlet of
the heater’s casing.
Patio Heating Design Considerations
“The Equator” placement is critical for effective and efficient patio
heating. If heaters are placed too close together, or mounted too low,
patrons of the patio may become uncomfortable. If heaters are placed too
far apart, or too high, on a breezy or wind-swept patio, the area may never
become comfortable.
Infrared heaters work best if placed in areas of greatest heat loss, such as
the open side of a semi-protected patio.
“The Equator” may be angle mounted up to 35 degrees maximum.
When mounting above 20 degrees to a maximum of 35 degrees, wind
protection must be provided. Note clearances to combustibles chart on
page 4.
Windy conditions can be a problem when heating any patio. Windbreaks
can be extremely effective in increasing comfort levels.
The heating requirements of any patio depend greatly on local climatic
conditions.
It is recommended that you work with a local and experienced supplier and
installer who are familiar with the heating requirements of your area.
WARNING:
FOR ENCLOSED PATIOS
Enclosed patios must be large enough to meet the clearance,
combustion air and ventilation requirements of “The Equator”. “The
Equator” may not be suitable for very small-enclosed patios. Consult
the local authority, for information on local codes prior to using “The
Equator” in an enclosed area.

Heater Operation
Upon installation of “The Equator” and completion of the gas and
electrical supply line to each heater, follow the steps outlined on the
“Lighting Instruction” plate located on the inside of the control door.
Sequence of Operation
Turn gas and power “ON”. The pilot and burner should light within 4
seconds. A flame sensor will shut off the spark. If the burner does not light
within 15 seconds, the flame sensor will shut “OFF” the gas valve; the unit
will try a relite 3 times. To relight the pilot and burner, shut “OFF” power.
Wait 5 minutes. Turn power back “ON”.

To Start “The Equator”:
1. Turn Manual gas valve to “ON” position.
2. Turn electrical supply “ON”
To Shut Down:
1. Turn manual gas valve to “OFF” position.
2. Turn electrical supply “OFF”. CAUTION:
If burner fails to ignite, shut down electrical power and wait five (5) minutes
before turning power “ON”. Maintenance
In order to get the maximum performance from “The Equator”, we
recommend the following be performed at least annually. More frequent
service and maintenance may be required if “The Equator” is located
within 2,000 feet of a waterfront.
1. With and air hose regulated to 30 psig, blow off any dust and dirt that
has accumulated around the burner and inside the control
compartment of “The Equator”. Proper eye protection required.
2. From the front of the heater, direct the air hose from a distance of
approximately 12 inches (30.5 cm) over the entire exposed area of
each burner’s ceramics.
3. Do not insert air hose into the inlet of the burner.
4. Remove main burner orifice, clean and reinstall.
5. Check to insure heater is securely mounted and the clearance from
combustible material is maintained.
6. If additional service to “The Equator” is required, contact your
local representative of the factory.
Stainless Steel Heater
Stainless steel does not “rust”, however, air pollution can leave brown
deposits on exterior of “The Equator”.
We recommend washing the outer stainless steel casing only with a mild
detergent solution and wiping it dry with a soft cloth to bring back the
original shine.
The stainless steel may be expected to permanently darken around the flue
outlet at the top of “The Equator” over time with extended use.
Servicing Instructions:
Turn off gas and electrical before attempting any service to this appliance.
“The Equator” may be serviced by opening door to control compartment.
Cover of control compartment must be removed for servicing by removing
six screws holding cover in place.
The cover must be removed if the gas controls, burner or burner orifice is to
be replaced. Removal of Direct Spark Ignition Control

Trouble Shooting
IF NO SPARK FROM ELECTRODE OR IF GAS VALVE DOES NOT
WORK THEN
a. Check your power supply. Should have 24 volts between
power wires. Use a voltage meter between inlet 24 volts wire
and ground terminal at electrode plate to measure 24 volts.
b. Check continuity. Use ohmmeter. For example, check
resistance between valve wire and ground. Should show
almost no resistance. (0 ohms) through valve. If high
resistance, check wire connectors.
c. Check spark gap. Should be 7/64” (.109”) between electrode
tip ground stop. If gap is too large, spark will occur at wrong
location. If gap is too small, spark may not be hot enough to
light pilot burner.
d. Be sure connectors are fully inserted into ignition control. (See
Wiring Diagram on rating plate).
IF INSUFFICIENT GAS FLOW THEN
a. Gas manual valve not full “ON”. Turn valve handle to full “ON”
position.
b. Burner orifice plugged. Remove heater top, remove burner orifice
(use ½” hex wrench) and thoroughly clean. Spiders often crawl into
orifice hole and make a web, blocking the orifice.

in such a manner as to allow the
products of combustion or hot
gases to vent out the top portion of
the heaters. When operating
normally, only radiant heat passes
through the front grill. If conditions
exist which force hot gases through
the front grill of heater, the
installation must be altered to
correct the condition.
