DESCRIPTION
Fostoria multi-purpose OCH series electric infrare
d
heaters are designed to provide efficient spot heating
for many commercial and industrial applications. All
models operate with a single quartz tube emitte
r
included with the heater, are easily installed, and are
equipped with spectral reflectors for excellent radian
t
output. They are built with corrosion-resistan
t
materials and are U.L. listed for both INDOO
R
(excluding residences) AND OUTDOO
R
applications in the USA and Canada.

UARTZ TUBE INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
• Serious injury or death
may occur.
• Disconnect from electrical
supply before installing or
servicing this heater.
• Reflector end caps must be
installed prior to powerin
g
the unit; refer to note #3.
Each heater is equipped with two black hi-temperature silicone lea
d
wires and one green lead wire for ground termination. Make sure
power source conforms to the heater requirements. Use onl
y
Fostoria quartz tubes.
1. Insert quartz tube in the “L”-shaped slots in heater housing.
2. On each end of the quartz tube, place (1) lead wire ring
terminal, (1) lock washer and (1) hex nut on the threaded stu
d
and tighten securely (see image below). Lock washers an
d
hex nuts are provided in hardware package.
 One lead wire is already installed in your heater, the
second lead wire is located in the hardware package.
NOTE – Use a second wrench to hold the inner hex nut in place
while tightening the outer hex nut. Failure to securel
y
ti
g
hten this
connection will cause the element to fail prematurely.
3. Attach reflector end caps to both ends of housing using the
(4) screws provided in hardware package.
HEATER INSTALLATION
Install heater so that the quartz tubes are
horizontal. Failure to do this ma
y
cause the
heatin
g
element within the tube to sa
g
and cause
premature burnout.
FIRE HAZARD
• Serious injury or death may
occur.
• Read and follow clearances
shown in box at left for ALL
OCH series heater
installations.
• Do not use inside residences.
MINIMUM INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
These heaters MUST be installed as follows:
 12 inches minimum from a vertical surface
 72 inches minimum from ANY combustible
material
 3 inches minimum from the ceiling
 36 inches minimum from other heaters
N
OTE: For optimum spot heating performance, it is recommended that the distance from the floor
should be approximately 7 to 9 feet for OCH-46 models, and 8 to 10 feet for OCH-57 models.

HEATER INSTALLATION continued
SUSPENSION ALTERNATIVES
Your OCH series heater can be mounted with eithe
r
adjustable mounting brackets or chain suspension. Both
options are included with your heater.
Standard Mounting:
In the hardware bag shipped with your heater you will
find two adjustable mounting brackets and fastening
hardware. Using the mounting centers specified i
n
figures 1 & 2, mount your adjustable mounting
b
rackets (bends to the inside). Once mounted,
assemble the heater to brackets (figure 3) with
mounting hardware, these brackets enable the heater to
be angled in 15-degree increments up to 45 degrees.
Chain Suspension:
The heater can also be chain-hung as shown in figure
4. Cut the 16ga. chains (two 4 foot chains are
p
rovided) to desired length. Attach chains to heate
r
with “S”-hooks provided and suspend from overhea
d
structure. Crimp “S”-hooks closed after assembly.

INTERNAL WIRING DIAGRAM
OCH heaters are equipped with two (2) hi-temperature
silicone lead wires and one (1) bonding* (ground) lea
d
wire. Supply wires must be copper and rated for at least 90º C.
1. Terminate field bonding wire to the bonding
(ground) wire of the heater with wire nuts
(customer supplied)
2. Terminate L1 and L2 field wires to the powe
r
wires of the heater with wire nuts (custome
r
supplied)
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
• Serious injury or death
may occur.
• Disconnect from electrical
supply before installing or
servicing this heater.
• This appliance must be
connected to a properly
bonded (grounded)
electrical source.
• Read and follow all safety
information in box below.
 Do not make wirin
g
connections
inside of heater housing.
 Use proper conduit fittin
g
s to prevent
wires from touchin
g
the housin
g
’s
metal edges.
 Make certain the power source
conforms to specifications on the
heater label.
 Do not depend on a thermostat or
other switch as the sole means o
f
disconnectin
g
power when installin
g
or servicin
g
heater. Alwa
y
s open the
safety switch and lock it open.
 All wirin
g
must be performed b
y
a
licensed electrician.
 Never connect the green or green-
y
ellow wire to a live or “hot”
conductor.
*Bonding is the term that describes the completion o
f
the electrical circuit back to its source, which allows a
breaker or fuse to clear if a short occurs in the line.
For totally exposed outdoor applications (not ceiling
p
rotected) all conduit, fittings and junction boxes must
be NEMA Type 4 or equal.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Required conduit size: ½”
All conduit, fittings and junction boxes are supplie
d
by the customer.
Do not make wiring connections inside of heate
