1. GENERAL
2. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
2.1 MOUNTING CLEARANCES
Series 2300 / IO 210 Heaters must be mounted with minimum clearances as shown in Section
8.4. It should also be located with respect to building construction and equipment so as to pro-
vide sufficient clearance and accessibility for servicing and cleaning of burners and ignition
control. Minimum mounting height is to be no less than 96”. Do not store or place anything di-
rectly underneath heater
2.2 HEATER MOUNTING
IMPORTANT:For either horizontal or angle mounting, the long axis of the heater must be
level. Use only non-combustible mounting hardware. Diagram 2 on Page 5 illustrates typical
suspension hardware that may be used., and provided by Schwank as an optional component.
2.3 GAS SUPPLY LINE INSTALLATION
•All piping must be installed according to local codes.
•An approved flexible connector between the heater and gas piping must be installed. The
same is available as an option from Schwank.
•A drip-pocket at the inlet connection must be provided.
•On propane-fired units, a main line filter is recommended.
•Piping joint compounds must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
•All piping joints should be tested for leaks with a soap and water solution.
Page 1
Series 2300 / IO 210 Heaters are approved for both horizontal and angle mounting. When angle
mounting, the short axis may be rotated to a maximum of 45°; however this may direct a large
portion of infrared heat above the heads of seated occupants in many applications.
Schwank recommends a 30° mounting angle in most applications. Refer to Diagram 8. Im-
proper angle mounting can result in damage to the heater or unsafe operation, and will void
warranty.
The gas fired infra-red combined intensity heaters are suitable to be installed for heating of out-
door and non residential indoor spaces. These installation instructions are intended for the Se-
ries 2300 / IO 210 Heaters.
All installations must conform to the following:, all local and national code requirements in-
cluding the current CAN/CGA-B149.1 installation code for gas burning appliances and equip-
ment as well as the Canadian Electrical Code PART 1 CSAC22.1 (latest edition) must be ob-
served. All installations in the U.S.A. must conform to local and national code requirements
including, National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1, and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
No 70 (latest edition). Due to ever changing standards and requirements, revision to equipment
and installation procedures may be necessary. In case of discrepancies, the latest installation
manual will take priority.

CAUTION:DO NOT INSTALL ANY GAS PIPING IN HEAT ZONES.
The maximum supply pressure must be limited to 14" w.c. (0.5 psi). If the line pressure is
above 14" w.c., then a separate pressure reducing regulator must be installed. The minimum
pressure at the inlet to the heater regulator must be equal to or greater than 6.0" w.c. for natural
gas and 11.0" w.c. for propane gas.
2.4 GAS PRESSURE
a) Properly install gas line as outlined in Section 2.3.
b) Mount heaters by using non-combustible mounting hardware as illustrated in Diagram 2.
Observe the minimum clearances as outlined in Sections 8.4 and suggested mounting dis-
tances in section 8.5
WARNING: When using Wall Mounting Bracket JP-2300-MB, or Arm Mounting Bracket JP-
2300-MA, ensure the anchoring to the structure is of sufficient strength, quality
and workmanship, to support the weight of the heater and any other loads such as
snow.
c) Connect heater to the main gas line. An approved 1/2" flexible connector (available as an
option from the manufacturer) must be used to absorb gas line expansion and any vibration -
check local code requirements.
(d) Check gas line for leakage by using soap test or gas meter test. Ensure gas pressure meets
the requirements out lined in Section 2.4 (above).
WARNING: When testing the main gas line pressure up to 0.5 psig, ensure that the isolation
valve and combination gas valve are "OFF", otherwise damage to the combina-
tion gas valve will result. When testing gas line in excess of 0.5 psig the appli-
ance and shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any such pressure testing.
Proper manifold pressure will be maintained when the main burner is operating under the fol-
lowing supply pressure:

5. SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
a) For temporary shutdown, turn off the electrical circuit.
b) For complete shutdown, turn off the electrical circuit and turn gas control knob to the
"OFF" position.
4. LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
6. FINISH COAT OF HEATER
Exterior heater surfaces, including stainless steel components, are coated with a black high
emissive coating that serves to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the heater and improve the
radiant heat output. With extended use, the finish coat may discolor and deteriorate to some ex-
tent due to the impact of heat and the deposit of ambient air born particles. This is a normal oc-
currence and in no way affects the operation of the heater or the manufacturer’s warranty. The
heater finish coat can be touched up using high temperature emissive coating (Schwank/
InfraSave Part # JA-0587-XX) that is compatible with the original finish. No other coating or
paint finish may be applied to the heater – use of an incompatible finish coating could cre-
ate a hazardous condition such as fire or noxious fumes, cause damage to the heater, and
will void the warranty.
Servicing of heater is essential for continued efficient operation. Servicing should be carried
out annually by qualified and licensed service personnel as follows:
•Clean the ceramic tile with compressed air. Avoid directing air stream at gasket material
between tile and heater body. The air pressure must be lower than 20 psig.
•Clean the venturi tube with compressed air. The air pressure must be lower than 20 psig.
7. SERVICING GUIDE (See Heater servicing on next page)

1. Ensure the correct voltage is supplied and gas valve is in the ON position.
2. Turn on power to heater, set thermostat (if applicable) to desired setting, the heater will light.
3. If heater does not light: Turn off power to heater, turn gas valve to OFF position.
4. Wait for five minutes and repeat steps above. If heater does not light after three attempts, call
a qualified service technician.
e) Ensure proper electrical rating in the system by checking voltage at ignition module
terminals. To avoid system malfunction, the voltage range must be within 21.6 Volts to 26.4
Volts, and correct polarity must be maintained throughout the system.
f) Test-fire the heating system by following the lighting instructions as shown below and on
heater.

10. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION: HONEYWELL S87C DSI CONTROL
(See page 19 for FENWAL Control)
1. On A call for heat the S87C DSI Control will check for a false flame condition or short to
ground. The module will lock out if a false flame condition is present. (Reset is usually done
manually from the Thermostat).
2. Spark (30,000volts) is generated at the Spark Ignition Stud, for direct ignition of the main
Burner by the single Spark Igniter.
3. Main Gas Control Valve is powered and OPENS lighting off the Main Burner.
4. Seperate Flame Sensor, relays the presence of Main Burner flame back to the DSI Control by
a rectified dc voltage signal. (TFI period)
5. If this dc signal is a minimum of 1.5ua (microamps) the flame remains established and the
DSI Control discontinues the ignition spark.
6. This is the 21 second T.F.I (Trial For Ignition) period where flame has to be established
first, and confirmed with a minimum signal strength of 1.5 uAmps(microamps) back to the
DSI Control. Failing this the DSI will go into a Safety Lockout Mode and shut down the
Burner. (Reset is manually done from the Thermostat).
7. On a loss of power the S87 allows the system to shut down safely. Start up is initiated when
power is restored
8. On a loss of Main Burner flame, the timed T.F.I. is repeated. Safety Lock-out occurs if the
flame is not re-established within the T.F.I period. After a 5 minute complete shut off period
has expired, the heater may be reset manually from the Thermostat.
Page 13
9. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND THERMOSTAT CONTROL
All electrical installations must meet local and the latest edition Electrical Code PART 1 CSA
C22.1 in Canada and ANSI/NFPA N0 70 in the U.S.A.. Single heater requires 24 Volt, 60 Hz
electrical transformer sized at 40 VA. If multiple heaters are connected to a single transformer,
the proper transformer is 24 Volt, 60 Hz, sized at 40 VA for the first heater, and 30 VA each for
all subsequent additional heaters. For example, four heaters wired together (parallel), require a
transformer of 150 VA. It is recommended to install at most 2 heaters per zone for best comfort
control and economy of operation. PROPER WIRING POLARITY MUST BE MAINTAINED,
particularly when grouping the heaters in a zone.
Total wiring distances of up to 200' must use minimum 16 gauge electrical wire, and wiring dis-
tances of over 200' must use minimum 14 gauge electrical wire. The heater must be electrically
grounded in accordance with the local
electrical code. Malfunction of the heating system will result if the voltage varies by more than
+10% or -10%.
The heater can be controlled by a line moisture proof thermostat “off-on” switch, or Remote
Control. Total load of all heaters must be considered in determining the required contact rating
of the controlling thermostat or switch.
9.1. REMOTE CONTROL
Patio Heaters can be operated with Remote Control Option; JP-1234-RK and handset JP-1234-
HS. Refer to the manual accompanying the remote control for installation.

LOW/ UNSTEADY FLAME CURRENT
If the current to the S87C flame circuit is
less than 1.5 uA or is unsteady, check the
burner flame, flame sensor location and
electrical connections as follows.
Electrical Connections and Shorts
Connections at the flame sensor must be clean
and tight. If wiring needs replacement, use
moisture resistant #18 wire rated for
continuous duty up to 1050C [2210F].
Flame Sensor
The flame signal is best when about 1 in. [25
mm] of flame rod is immersed in the burner
flame. Abent flame rod, or mounting bracket
or a cracked ceramic insulator can affect
flame signal. Replace flame sensor if necessary.
Burner Flame
Theflame sensor must be constantly immersed
in flame. Check burner flame conditions as
shown opposite. Observe Burner rating
plate for the correct gas pressure, and check
it with a manometer. If gas pressure is OK
check gas line and orifice for obstructions.
12. FLAME SENSING CIRCUIT - HONEYWELL S87C DSI CONTROL
Flame current is the current which passes through the flame from the sensor to ground. The
minimum flame current necessary to keep the Honeywell S87C system from lockout is 1.5
uAmps (microamps). The output of the flame sensing circuit cannot be checked directly on
the S87C Control body. The flame sensing circuit current can be checked by bridging the
flame sensing current from the sensor to the S87C as follows.
1. Connect a meter (dc microammeter scale) in series with the flame sensor wire as
shown below. Using the Honeywell W136A Test Meter or equivalent. Disconnect
the sensor wire from the S87C, Connect the red (positive) meter lead to the free end of
the sensor wire. Connect the black (negative) meter lead to the quick-connect sensor
terminal on the S87C.
2. Restart the system and read the meter. The flame sensor current must be at least 1.5 uA and
steady. If the reading is less than 1.5uA or unsteady, see LOW OR UNSTEADY FLAME
CURRENT section, below.
If a flame is present at sensor and a reading of zero uA is obtained, check for a
secondary ground connection to the 25V (GND) terminal. If secondary connection
exists, temporarily remove connection and measure flame current again.
A good rectifying flame is
achieved with approx 1”
of sensor in a strong blue
flame, positioned 1/4” to
1/2” away from flame
source surface.
A lazy or weak flame is
not a good rectifying flame.
Check gas pressure and gas
line/orifice etc for insects.
and spider cocoons.
