Sequence of Operation
Turn gas and power ‘ON’. The pilot and burnershould light within 4 seconds. A flame sensor
will shut offthe spark. If the burner does not lightwithin 15 seconds, the flame sensor will shut
the gas valve ’OFF’. To re-light the pilot and burner, shut ‘OFF’ power. Wait 5 minutes. Turn
power back‘ON’.
Maintenance Trouble-Shooting
Problem Possible Causes
No sparkto pilot • Voltage under 240 volts
• Improper sparkgap 2.7mm
• Loose groundwire
• Brokenelectrode
• Faulty electronicmodule
Burnerwon’t light • Air in gas line
• Low gas pressure
• Gas valve failure
• Blockage ingas line ormaininjector
• Brokenelectrode
Inconsistent operation • Variable gas pressure (improperly sized
gas line)
• Variable voltage
• Wind exceeding 24km/h
• Debris inside burner
• Erraticw inds
Deterioration ofthe front grille SUNPAK heaters must be installed in such a
manner as to allow the products of
combustion or hot gases to vent out the top
portion of the heater. When operating
normally, only radiant heat passes through
the front grille. If conditions exist which force
hot gases through the front grille of the
heater, the installation must be altered to
correct the condition.
Limited Warranty and Service
SUNPAK infrared heaters carry a 90-day commercial or one year residential limited factory
warranty. All heaters arestampedwiththe dateof manufacture.In most cases,your dealer
or sales representative will handle the warranty procedure for you. If there is no sales
representative available, the heater may be returned to the factory for repair. Warranty is
limited to repair of heaters at the factory or replacement parts. Any work or repair of this
heater must be performed by qualified service personnel. Any unauthorized tampering with
the heater will void warranty. Techrite will not be liable for any expense to the customer,

SUNPAK will raise the comfort level 3 to 6°C outdoors. The
above coverage table was based on still breeze
conditions. Under w indy conditions, more heat w ill be
required. For example, an 8km/h breeze typically w ill
require twice as many heaters to achieve the same
comfort level. It is recommendedthat awindswept patio
be designedwithwind breaks inorder to stabilize the patio
environment.
ANGLE MOUNTING
The SUNPAK heater may be angle mounted to a
max imum of 30°to accommodate mounting the
heaters around the patio.

of 5kPa, consult with your representative or
the factory. The pressure regulator supplied
with the appliance must be installed in the
gas line for natural gas models.
Gas inlet pressure Nat. Gas LP Gas
Max imum pressure 5kPa 5kPa
Manifold pressure 1.0kPa 2.6kPa
Sunpak heaters must always be operated in a
location that allows uniform air pressure around
the heater. If only part of the heater is located in
awindprotected zone damage to the heater or
incorrect operation may occur. Time should be
taken to observe how the wind will affect the

supply systems and repair of all appliances
must be carried out by a qualified service
person.
• It is imperative that control compartment,
burners and circulating air passageways of
the appliance be kept clean.
2. The heater must be installed in a location such
that it is readily accessible for servicing and
have no restriction of air flow to the air inlet of
the heater’s casing. When installed indoors
(commercial installations only) minimum room
volume 200m3.
4. Wheninstalledoutdoorsthis heater must be in
a covered area protected from rainwater.
5. When installation is complete check the
soundness of the gas connections using a
manometer or soapy w ater.
6. Fully test the appliance’s operation.If unable to
adjust correctly, contact the supplier.
MOUNTING

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
To start the heater:
Turn electricity supply ‘ON’
To shut down heater:
Turn electricity supply ‘OFF’
CAUTION: If burner fails to ignite, shut down
electrical power and w ait five (5) minutes before
turningpow er ‘ON’.
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
Performance of Routine Maintenance
Over time, particularly during long periods of
disuse,the heater canaccumulate dirt and debris
in and around the pilot and burner. Routine
maintenance should be performed at least once
a year by a qualified service technician to insure
the heater is operating properly. More frequent
service may be required for heaters located near
coastal regions. Servicing shall be carried out only
by authorised personnel.
Service Instructions
Turnoff gasand electricity beforeattemptingany
service to this appliance. Internal workings/
components of the heater are located behind
the service door. The service door canbe opened
by turningtheblackknurledknobat least 1/4turn.
Rotate round slotted disk on control door 90°to
open. Top of heater may need to be removed if
the gas controls, burner or burner orifice is to be
replaced.
1. Removal of burner
A) Remove grille by removing two (2) screws at one
end of grille near control door. Pull downward at
the end and grille will loosen. The far end of the
grilleissupportedbytwo(2) pinsthat enter(2)holes
in t he reflect or’s far end.
B) Remove t op of heat er by removing six ( 6) screws
holdingtopin place.
C) The burner can be removed w ithout removing the
pilot electrode assembly. However, extreme care
should be taken to prevent the burner from
contacting the fragile electrode when removing or
re-installingtheburner.
D) To remove the pilot-electrode assembly,
disconnect the electrical wire. Detach the pilot
tubing. Removethetwo(2) screws holdingthepilot
electrode in place.
E) Remove 9.5mm hex locknut located inside burner
orificebracket holdingpiping assemblytoburner. A
22mm 12-point wrench will be handy to loosen the
9.5mmlocknut fromthetopoftheheater.
F) Remove two (2) screws holding the end of the
burner. Carefully slide burner down and out. When
re-installing, be sure both ends of the burner are
beneath the reflect or and end flanges.
G) To re-inst all burner, reverse procedure.
2. Removal of TECHRITE AIS spark ignition control
A) Disconnect 240 Volt power.
B) Disconnect HTlead.
C) Disconnect two(2) valveleads.
D) Disconnect ignitor lead from control
E) Remove two (2) screws and nuts holding
control inplace
F) If insufficient removal clearance, loosen
control assembly and move out ofw ay.
INSTALLATION TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. If no spark from electrode; or if gas valve
doesn’t work then:
A) Check pow er supply. Should have 240 volts AC at
cont rol. Us e volt met er betw een inlet 240 volts w ire
and groun d t erminal at elect rode plat e t o meas ure
240 volts.
B) Check continuit y. Use ohmmeter. For example,
check resistance betw een valve w ire and ground.
Should show almost no resistance(0 ohms)through
valve. If high resistance, check wire connectors.
C) Check spark gap. Should be 2.7m between
electrode tip and pilot hood. If gap is t oo 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(seewiringdiagram on rating plate)
2. If insufficient gas flow then:
Burner orifice is blocked. Remove heater top,
remove burner orifice (use 12mm hex w rench) and
thoroughly clean. Spiders often crawl into orifice
holeandmake aweb,blocking theorifice.
