Page LM P/N: 934-6891 S100 Manual, Rev: 2.1.1
INSTALLATION
The Sure Flame Model S100 Construction Heater is a direct fired gas heater
intended to be used primarily for the temporary heating of buildings under
construction, alteration, or repair. Since all the products of combustion are
released into the area being heated, it is imperative that adequate ventilation
is provided. The flow of supply air and combustion gases must not be
obstructed in any way. Do not use the heater with ductwork as this will restrict
the flow of supply air.
1 Install the heater in a horizontal position at least 10 feet (3m) in
Canada or 6 ft. (1.83 m) in the U.S. from any LP-gas container. Allow
the following clearances from any combustible materials:
Front Outlet: 8 feet (2.4 m) Sides: 2 feet (0.6 m)
Intake: 2 feet (0.6 m) Top: 4 feet (1.2 m)
Front Outlet must not be directed at any LP-gas container within 20
feet (6 m).
Also make sure that no flammable vapours are present in the space
where the heater is being used.
2 When connecting the heater to a natural gas or propane supply line
ensure that the pressure at the heater inlet is within the specified range.
Excessive pressure (over 1/2" psi) will damage the controls and void the
warranty.
3 Visually inspect the hose assembly and ensure that it is protected from
traffic, building materials, and contact with hot surfaces. If it is evident that
there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced.
4 After installation, check the hose assembly for gas leaks by applying a
water and soap solution to each connection.
5 Connect the heater to an adequate 115 volt electrical supply as specified
on the rating plate. For protection against shock hazard the supply cord
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong recepta-
cle.
6 In all applications, install the heater in such a manner that it is not
directly exposed to water spray, rain and/or dripping water.

S100 Manual, Rev: 2.1.1 P/N: 634-6891 Page RM
INSTALLATION USING A
PROPANE SUPPLY TANK
1 When installing the heater for use with propane gas, set the gas selector
valve to “Propane”.
2 Arrange the propane supply system to provide for vapour withdrawal from
the operating container. Supplying liquid propane to the heater is danger-
ous and will damage the components. Another regulator must be
installed on the heater to reduce the pressure from this regulator to a
maximum inlet pressure of 1/2 psi.
3 Ensure that for the surrounding temperature the size and capacity of the
propane supply container is adequate to provide the rated Btu/h input to
the heater.
4 Turn off the propane supply valve at the container when the heater is not
in use.
5 The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with CSA-B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code or
with the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquedied Petroleum
Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58.
6 When the heater is to be stored indoors the propane container must be
disconnected from the heater and the container moved away and stored
in accordance with the above National Standard.
INSTALLATION FOR
NATURAL GAS APPLICATIONS
1 When installing the heater for use with natural gas, set the gas selector
valve to the “Natural” position.
2 A regulator must be installed on the heater to ensure that the pressure to
the heater does not exceed 1/2 psi inlet pressure.
3 The installation of this heater to a natural gas supply must conform with
all applicable local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with CSA-
B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code or with the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

Page LM P/N: 934-6891 S100 Manual, Rev: 2.1.1
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Set GAS SELECTOR VALVE to gas being used. The conversion shall
be done by the owner or lessor of the equipment.
NOTE: When using Propane Gas the Selector Valve must be in the
PROPANE position.
2 Ensure the MANUAL VALVE (blue knob at rear of heater) is in the “ON”
position.
3 Connect power - 115 volt supply.
4 Open gas supply.
5 Push START button AND HOLD FOR 5 SECONDS
6 To stop, turn gas off.
The appliance area should be kept clear and free from combustible materi-
als, gasoline, and other flammable vapours and liquids.
Ensure that the flow of supply air and combustion gases is not obstructed.
The installation and operation of the heater shall comply with the code
requirements specified by the authorities having jurisdiction.
General criteria for the use of construction heaters may be found in the
applicable sections of the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA-
B149.1.
THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
HEATER MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED BY A
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.

S100 Manual, Rev: 2.1.1 P/N: 634-6891 Page RM
COMMON INSTALLATION AND
OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS
1 LOW VOLTAGE
This is one of the most common problems and is usually the result of the
supply cord having too small a wire gauge for its length. Low voltage
results in the motor overheating, burnt relay contacts, or a relay that will
not maintain contact.
2 SUPPLY LINE TOO SMALL
3 INSUFFICIENT VAPORIZATION AT SUPPLY
Normally caused by too small size of supply tank.
4 IMPROPER GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE
Usually a result of supply pressure being too high because of improper or
lack of regulation.
5 DIRTY GAS SUPPLY
Dirty gas can cause strainers to plug or form a build-up in the burner
orifice.
6 LACK OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Heaters must be cleaned as required, especially when used in a dirty
environment.
7 IMPROPER SUPPLY OF FRESH AIR
It is normally recommended that the intake air of the heater be taken from
outside the enclosed area. This provides a slight pressurization and
prevents any problems associated with recirculation.
SAFETY FEATURES
The Model S100 incorporates devices to detect the following:
1 LOSS OF FLAME Gas supply is shut off if flame is lost to
prevent raw gas from leaving the heater.
2 OVERHEATING High temperature limit switch in the com-
bustion chamber
3 LOSS OF POWER Total shutdown with manual restart re-
quired. Any one of the safety devices will
create a loss of power situation.
4 BLOCKED AIR SUPPLY A switch detects the differential pressure
in the combustion chamber and shuts down
when insufficient.

Page LM P/N: 934-6891 S100 Manual, Rev: 2.1.1
DESIGN RELATED ADDITIONAL
SAFETY FEATURES
1 LOW SKIN TEMPERATURE
Sure Flame Heaters are designed to have a low skin temperature. This
provides added safety in the workplace.
2 DURABLE CONSTRUCTION
The Model S100 uses a stainless steel burner for long life and consistent
performance.
In order to maintain the highly efficient combustion of the Sure Flame
Heater, the combustion chamber must remain as manufactured. Any
change or distortion could alter the fuel/air mixture and create unwanted
gases.
ON-SITE SAFETY PROBLEMS
1 SHORTING OUT OF DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS
This common problem saves short term expense at the risk of a large
future cost. Any heaters found in this condition should be removed
immediately.
2 IMPROPER ENCLOSURES
When heaters are installed partially to the outside for fresh air intake, strict
adherence must be made to the minimum clearance to combustibles
given on the instruction plate. Wood framing around a heater is a request
for trouble.
3 SUPPLYING LIQUID PROPANE TO HEATER
This problem has occurred from time to time. To minimize the damage,
and possible personal injury, shut off the gas supply and let the heater run
until all of the liquid in the lines has been vaporized.

S100 Manual, Rev: 2.1.1 P/N: 634-6891 Page RM
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Sure Flame Construction Heaters are built to withstand the rigours of
operating on construction sites, for mining applications, and a multitude of
other locations where heaters are used. To maintain the reliable perform-
ance required it is necessary to do a certain amount of regular maintenance.
A VISUAL CHECKS
The following items should be checked for excessive wear or damage:
1) Cords and Connectors
2) Wiring and Conduit
3) Heater Shell (including heat shield) and Control Box
It is recommended that units purchased as spares be rotated periodi-
cally, so that each unit will be placed in operation at least once every 90
days.
B BURNER
Flame Rod and Insulator - Clean with soap and water or solvent on a
routine basis. Any build up on burner
should also be removed at this time.
Spark Plug - Clean with solvent and check spark gap.
C CONTROL BOX
The inside of the control box should be cleaned using a dry cloth or by
blowing compressed air. Do not use any liquid or aerosol spray cleaners.
Also check that all electrical connections are snug and tight.
D MOTOR
The electric motor on the S100 Heater is fitted with sealed bearings and
no oiling is required. Keep the motor clean by blowing or wiping off dust
or dirt in order to prevent it from over heating.
E FAN
Check for dust or dirt build up on fan blades. Check the tightness of the
set screw and run the heater to check for fan vibration.
