Temprite assumes no responsibility for loss or damage
in transit; therefore, you should protect yourself by
following these instructions:
Bill Of Lading
Save your bill of lading. It is a contract, and you will
need it, provided you have to file a loss or damage
claim. Remember, claims are outlawed after nine
months.
Loss In Transit
Before you sign for this shipment, check against the bill
of lading, also the transportation company’s delivery
ticket. Make sure that you get the exact total of articles
listed. Should the delivery ticket show more or less
items than are offered, then the carrier’s agent must
mark the difference on your freight bill before you sign.
Visible Damage In Transit
If anything is damaged, accept the shipment only if
the carrier’s agent places a notation on your freight
bill explaining the nature and extent of damage. Upon
inspection of article, make claim to the delivering
carrier.
Concealed Damage In Transit
Sometimes transit damage is not noticed until the
goods are unpacked. In such cases, notification to
the carrier must be made within fifteen (15) days of
receipt of shipment. In such cases, save the packages
and packing material, then notify the transportation
company at once, and request an inspection. When
the inspector calls, have him make out and leave a
“concealed” bad order report. He is obliged to give one
to you. Insist on it.
Disposition Of Damaged Atticles
Never return damaged articles to us. They are the
property of the transportation company when the claim
is filed. They will give you disposition instructions.
Packing
We comply with the packing requirements of the
transportation companies, and your bill of lading
proved that everything was in good condition when
shipped. That bill of lading contract requires them to
deliver in perfect condition.

SECTION II - GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to present a guide for
proper installation, maintenance, and operation of the
Direct Gas-Fired System, and supplement, but not to
replace, the services of qualified field service person-
nel to supervise the initial start-up and adjustment
of the unit. Persons without previous experience with
large commercial and industrial heating equipment
should not attempt the initial adjustment and checkout
procedure which is essential before such installations
may be considered ready for operation. This manual
should be made readily available to all operating per-
sonnel as an aid in troubleshooting and proper mainte-
nance.
B. Shipping
Base Direct Gas-Fired units are shipped completely
assembled where shipping limitations allow. Optional
inlet hoods, filter and/or damper sections, or other
large accessories are assembled and shipped mount-
ed and wired whenever possible within limitations
of shipping and handling. Any optional accessories
shipped separately are shipped as assembled sec-
tions. Any wired accessories which have been disas-
sembled for separate shipment require no additional
conduit or wire for field reassembly. All wire leads will
be tagged for ease of reconnection in the field.
If the unit and/or accessories cannot be installed
immediately, they should be stored in a clean dry
environment. If this is not possible and the unit
must be stored outdoors, it should be protected
from the weather with tarpaulins or plastic
coverings. Do not assume that simply covering a
unit will keep insects, dust and condensation out
of the unit and critical components. Rotate the
fan(s) monthly.
Prior to beginning installation of a unit that has been in
storage for weeks or months, the unit and its compo-
nents should be closely inspected.
Shipments are made F.O.B. Dallas, Texas by flat-
bed truck. The unit is securely strapped, tied, and
blocked to prevent shipping damage. All shipments
are checked by an inspector before they are accepted
by the carrier. Parts that are shipped unmounted are
noted on the bill of lading. These parts, where feasible,
are packaged and shipped with the units. Upon receipt
of shipment, all units should be checked against the
bill of lading to insure all items have been received. All
equipment (and any optional accessories) should be
checked carefully for physical damage in the presence
of the carrier’s representative. If parts are missing or
damage has occurred, a claim should be filed immedi-
ately with the carrier.
All Direct Gas-Fired units are given a complete opera-
tions test and control circuit checkout before shipment.
Copies of the wiring diagram, piping diagram and
bill of material are included with each unit shipped. If
correspondence with the factory is necessary, please
provide the unit model and serial number.
C. Optional Factory Service
Periodic service on any piece of mechanical equip-
ment is necessary for efficient operation. A nationwide
service support network is available to provide quick
and dependable servicing of make-up air, heating,
ventilating, or air handling types of equipment. Factory
start-up service is also available which includes the
presence of a service engineer to supervise the initial
start-up and adjustment of the equipment and provide
instructions for the owner’s maintenance personnel in
proper operations and maintenance. Consult factory
for quotations on start-up or periodic service.

SECTION III - INSTALLATION
During transit, unloading and setting of the unit, bolts
and nuts may have become loosened, particularly
in the pillow block ball bearing assemblies in the fan
section. It is recommended that all nuts and set screws
be tightened. Turn fan shaft by hand to make certain
that blower does not rub against blower housing, and
that bearing set screws are tight. If units are not set
immediately, cover all openings that might be exposed
to the weather.
Open the cover on the electrical control box located on
the unit. Inspect all wire terminals and wiring termina-
tions to ensure that all connections are tight.
If units are not set immediately, cover all openings that
might be exposed to the weather.
Rotate fans monthly.

B. Locating the Unit
Prior to locating the unit, authorities having jurisdic-
tion should be consulted before installations are made.
Approval permits should be checked against the unit
received.
On Direct Gas-Fired units, which recirculate room air,
outside ventilation air must be provided in accordance
with the information shown on the heater nameplate.
All ventilation air to the heater must be ducted directly
from the outside. See Section XIII.
If in doubt regarding the application of this appliance,
consult the factory.
Locate the unit exactly level. Special attention should
be given to the duct, electrical, and fuel connection
points. Install duct work with adequate flexible connec-
tions to isolate vibration from the duct work. All duct
work should have taped or caulked seams. Duct work
should be properly sized so as not to inhibit airflow.
This information should be cross-checked with the
position of support beams and stand pipes to insure
that clearance dimensions coincide with those of the
unit. The minimum clearance to combustible material
must be maintained as listed in Table 1.
Table 1
Minimum clearance to combustible material,
also consult local codes and regulations.
Clearances to Combustible Material
Vertical Units Horizontal Units
Front* 39 inches 36 inches
Rear 6 inches 6 inches
Right 6 inches 6 inches
Left 6 inches 6 inches
Top 12 inches 12 inches
Floor Zero 6 inches
*Consider control side as front of unit.
**Optimum clearance for shaft removal would be
equivalent to cabinet width.
Make a visual inspection to insure no damage has oc-
cured to the unit during installation.
C. Curb Mounted Units
Outdoor units can be supplied with an optional roof
curb. The curb greatly facilitates installation thereby
reducing installation costs. All connections to the unit:
duct, piping, electrical power and control wiring can
be made through the roof opening. The curb may be
shipped prior to unit shipment. All curbs are shipped
un-assembled from the factory.
Use extreme caution in handling the curb. Proper
handling and positioning will assure a water-tight curb
unit installation.
Re-check approval prints prior to installation. Be sure
that there are no obstructions to ducting and that
proper planning has been exercised in connection of
piping and/or electrical services.
The curb assembly may be bolted or welded to either
trusses or roof decking; however, connection to roof
trusses is recommended. The curb is designed to carry
the weight of the unit. Additional support is required for
certain applications.
Placement of the curb is critical in squareness and
leveling. Shims for leveling must be applied to the
curb; application of shims to the unit will tend to
destroy the sealing effect after installation. Make sure
sealing tape is in place before unit is set. Be careful
not to allow gaps where two pieces of sealing tape
meet. A bubble level must be used in the leveling
process. Measure across diagonals to check for
squareness. Allowable tolerance is 1/4" difference
between diagonal measurements. Double-check
approval prints before setting the unit.
Upon completion of setting the curb, apply roofing
material and flashing as required. On outdoor curb
mounted installations, flash and seal the roof curb to
prevent leakage. The cross section of factory provided
curb is formed to accept wood nailing strip and insula-
tion provided by others.
D. Location of Accessories
Where applicable, standard or optional accessories will
be placed inside the fan section of the unit for shipment,
and must be removed and installed by the mechanical
or electrical contractor.
Remotely located discharge or inlet dampers must be
equipped with an end switch and interlocked to insure
maximum design opening before starting and running
circuits may be energized.
Field constructed intake accessories should be properly
designed to minimize the entry of rain and snow.
Adequate building relief must be provided, so as to not
over-pressurize the building, when the heater is
operating at its rated capacity. This can be accom-
plished by taking into account, through standard
engineering methods, the structure’s designed infiltra-
tion rate, by providing properly sized relief openings,
by interlocking a powered exhaust system, or by a
combination of these methods.

E. Electrical Connections
WARNING: Open all disconnect switches and
secure in that position before wiring unit.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
death from electrical shock.
WARNING: Controls must be protected from
water. Do not allow water to drip on the ignition
system.
NOTE: Before installing any wiring, check the unit
rating plate for supply power voltage and minimum
ampacity.
All electrical connections must conform to the current
edition of: ANSI/NFPA No. 70 National Electrical Code
and applicable state and local codes; in Canada, to the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 CSA Standard C22.1
and applicable provincial and local codes.
Since shipment of unit may require disassembly after
factory check and test, reconnection of some electrical
devices will be required in the field. Connect electrical
wires (supplied in factory furnished conduit) to appro-
priate terminals. All leads are tagged to facilitate field
connections. See wiring diagram provided with equip-
ment. Complete all wiring to any optional accessories
as shown on unit bill of material and electrical wiring
diagram as required before applying voltage to the unit.
Entry location for all field-installed and control wiring is
through the control panel.
If optional disconnect is not furnished with heater, the
field provided disconnect must be of the proper size
and voltage. Refer to unit rating plate for minimum
circuit ampacity and voltage. The disconnect must be
installed in accordance with Article 430 of the current
edition of ANSI/NFPA No. 70 National Electrical Code.
Check the supply voltage before energizing the unit.
The maximum voltage variation should not exceed
± 10%. Phase voltage unbalance must not exceed 2%.
NOTE: Should any original wire supplied with the
heater have to be replaced, it must be replaced
with wiring material having a temperature rating of
at least 105° C.
REMARQUE : Dans le cas où un quelconque des
câbles livrés avec l'unité devait être remplacé, il
doit être remplacé avec des câbles prévus pour
résister à une chaleur d'au moins 105° C.
F. Field Piping
Gas Piping
All gas piping must be in accordance with the require-
ments outlined in the National Fuel Gas Code - ANSI
Z223.1. It is required that a ground union be installed
adjacent to the manifold for easy servicing. A drip leg
and/or filter should be provided upstream of the unit’s
inlet gas connection. An additional shut-off must be
located external of the unit’s enclosure. The location of
this valve must comply with all local codes. A 1/8 inch
N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge con-
nection, must be installed immediately upstream of the
gas supply connection to the unit.
WARNING: To avoid equipment damage or
possible personal injury, disconnect gas piping
to this unit until a supply line pressure/leak test
has been completed. Connecting the unit before
completing the pressure/leak test may damage
the unit gas valve and result in a fire hazard.
DANGER: Never use an open flame to detect
gas leaks. Explosive conditions may exist which
would result in personal injury or death.
On vertical units there is a factory installed “Burner
Cleanout” pipe located on the opposite end of the gas
piping compartment. This is a clean out to drain any
condensate that may have collected in the line burner.
WARNING: DO NOT connect supply gas to this
pipe.
The gas line should be supported so that no strain
is placed on the unit. Pipe compounds which are not
soluble to liquid petroleum gases should be used on
threaded joints.
Refer to the heater’s rating plate for determining the
minimum gas supply pressure for obtaining the maxi-
mum gas capacity for which this heater is specified.
Une tuyauterie adéquatement dimensionnée doit être
posée jusqu'à l'unité. Veuillez noter que la pression de
la tuyauterie d'alimentation en gaz doit correspondre
à celle spécifiée sur la plaque d'identification, lorsque
l'unité fonctionne à plein rendement.
Refer to the heater’s rating plate for determining the
maximum supply pressure to the heater.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG.

– 7 –
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing it’s individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressure equal to or
less than 1/2 PSIG.
Correctly sized piping must be run to the unit.
Please note that gas line pressure must be
as shown on specification plate when unit is
operating at full input.The high-pressure regulator
and relief valve should be, if possible, mounted
at least 5 to 10 feet upstream from the appliance
regulator on the unit (if possible).
Building Pressure Transducer Piping (PT-13)
Pipe the high side to location inside the building that
will not be affected by air movement. Pipe the low side
to the atmosphere, positioned so it will not be affected
by the wind and not exposed to the elements. Be sure
that all tubing is clean and clear of any debris before
installing tubes on the transducer.
Flow Station Transducer Piping (PT-15)
Pipe the high side to the upstream connection and
low side to the downstream connection of the Airflow
Station as shown in Drawing # C000643 below. Be
sure that all tubing is clean and clear of any debris
before installing tubes on the transducer.
G. Field Wiring and Remote Control Installation
1. Connect the power lines to the line side of
the power distribution block or optional main
disconnect switch.
2. Field wiring is typically indicated on the wiring
diagram as dashed lines. When running any field
wiring for control circuit be sure wire is sized for
a maximum 10% voltage drop. Check the VA
rating of control circuit transformer to determine
maximum load.
3.
Mount and wire remote control panel, thermostats,
temperature sensors, and any other field installed
controls as indicated on the unit control wiring diagram.
4. Connect all wires to the appropriate field wiring
terminals and any shielded or twisted wires as indicated
on the unit control diagram.
5. Field wiring shall have a temperature rating of at
least 105°C. The minimum size of the supply cable
circuit shall be sufficient for the maximum ampacity
of the heater.
L'installation éléctrique d'utilisateur aura une
température qui évalue d'au moins 105°C. La
minimum de source du circuit de câblage sera
suffisante pour le ampacity maximum de l'appareil
de chauffage.
H. Locating Temperature Controls
The room or outdoor sensors should be mounted
where they will not be subjected to direct impact of
the heated air or radiant heat from the sun. It is also
recommended that thermostats, especially those with
mercury bulb contacts, be mounted on a vibration free
surface. The side of building columns away from the
heater or interior walls are usually the location best
suited for mounting thermostats.
Controls with outdoor sensors require that the outdoor
sensor be shielded from direct radiation from the sun. Unit
mounted sensors are factory located and mounted.

Tachometer Ammeter
Manometer (0-10" W.C.) Microammeter
Standard Hand Tools D.C. Volt Meter
Gas Pressure Gauge (0-35 lbs.) BACview 6
CAUTION:Line side of disconnect may be energized.
Follow proper “lockout/tagout” procedures.
NOTE: All servicing and adjustments of the Direct
Gas-Fired unit should be performed by a qualified
service engineer.
Perform a visual inspection, internally and externally,
to make sure no damage has occured and that
everything is secure. This inspection is very important
and should be completed with greatest care given to
detail. A good pre-start inspection will insure against
possible unit damage on start-up and will save
valuable analysis time.
1. Check that the physical condition of the unit
exterior is acceptable.
2. Check that the insulation inside of unit is properly
secured.
3. Remove all shipping blocks, brackets and bolts
from supply fan base with optional isolation base.
4. Check all wiring for loose connections and tighten
if necessary.
5. Inspect all fan and motor bearings and lubricate if
necessary.
CAUTION: DO NOT RUPTURE GREASE SEALS.
6. Inspect pulleys and belts for tightness, tension and
alignment. Do not overtighten belts.
7. Check set screws on all bearings, pulleys, fans and
couplings for tightness.
8. Check voltage supplied to disconnect switch; the
maximum voltage variation should not exceed
± 10%. Phase voltage unbalance must not exceed 2%.
9. Check thermostat(s) for normal operation.
10. Check that system duct work is installed and free
from obstructions.
11. Check that fans turn free in housing.
12. Check that the area around the unit is clear of
flammable vapors or containers of flammable
liquids.
13. Check that all piping connections, particularly
unions, are tight. Check all gas piping for leaks
using a soap bubble solution. The most common
types of problems found relative to the gas train
itself is foreign material within the gas piping. This
will interfere with the proper operation of the gas
train components and burner. Purge all air from
gas lines per gas codes.
14. Check that all accessories requiring field wiring
have been properly installed.
15. Check burner for proper location and alignment.
16. Check that filters, filter stops, accessories and ship
loose items are installed correctly.
17. Check that vent lines (if applicable) are run to
atmosphere on gas regulators and pressure
switches for indoor units. Vent lines should
terminate outside the building, with a turndown
elbow and bug screen. Note that some units will
use vent limiters and vent lines are not required.
If vent lines are even partially plugged, this will
interfere with proper venting of pressure control
devices.
18.
Check that all manual gas shut-off valves are closed.
19. When failure or malfunction of this heater creates a
hazard to other fuel burning equipment, (e.g. when
the heater provides make-up air to a boiler room),
the heater is to be interlocked to open inlet air
dampers or other such devices.
20. Motor overload relay setting should match the
motor’s nameplate full load amperage.
21. Check that dampers and linkages are free to move,
and that linkages are tight.
22. The unit may require that a Return Airflow Station
be field installed. Be sure all tubing connections
are in the correct location as shown in drawing
#C000643.
23. Check to ensure all manual reset safety devices
have been reset and limits are in the normal
operating position.
24. If inlet duct is attached to the heater, a purge
timer must be provided and set to purge 4
times the inlet duct volume.
Purge time in seconds = 4 x L x W x H x 60
SCFM
L = duct length in feet, W = duct width in feet,
H = duct height in feet, SCFM = rating plate air
throughput.
Refer to the electrical schematic for the proper
circuit placement. Purge timer P/N 65.0711.00.

to in Section X.
NOTE: 3 OR 4 TRIALS MAY BE NEEDED TO
PURGE AIR FROM GAS LINE.
United Technologies Electronic Controls Spark
Ignitor (RE-02)
Watch microammeter carefully. Burner must hold in low
fire for approximately 10 seconds before modulating
up. The reading should be at least 0.5 microamps.
If the read-ing is too low, slowly turn the low-fire
adjustment on the modulating valve in or out until
satisfactory readings are obtained. When adjusting
low fire, there should be a continuous flame along the
entire burner length without any blowout spots.
Install manometer at test port on the last tee of the
burner manifold, or MR valve test port.
Slowly open last manual gas shut-off valve.
Enable the fan and burner. Unit will run for 5 seconds
before valve opens and burner lights if all safeties and
limits are in normal operating mode.
NOTE: This is a direct spark ignition burner. Low
fire may need to be adjusted first in order to light
the burner.
Adjust high fire pressure reading (from manometer) to
match Normal Manifold Pressure firing rate shown on
unit rating plate.
Refer to Valve Adjustment instructions in Section X
for setting high and low fire gas pressure settings.
The high fire setting must be made before adjusting
low fire. Adjust the high fire setting according to the
Maxitrol Valve Adjustment instructions in Section X.
The high fire setting must not exceed the pressure
stated on the rating plate.
When adjusting low fire, there should be a
continuous flame along the entire burner length
without any blowout spots. Burner must hold in low
fire for approximately 10 seconds before modulating up.
Check flame signal with burner cycling through full firing
range.
Cycle burner several times to insure smooth light off.
Low fire may need to be readjusted.
There should be a continuous spark for ten (10)
seconds with the last gas cock turned off and the
ignition control (RE-02) should lock out.

SECTION VII - TROUBLE SHOOTING
Check Safety Shutdown Performace
WARNING: Fire or explosion hazard. Can
cause property damage, severe injury or death.
Perform the safety shutdown test any time work
is done on a gas system.
NOTE: Read steps 1 through 7 before starting, and
compare to the safety shutdown or safety lockout
tests recommended for the intermittent ignition
module. Where diffferent, use the procedure
recommended for the module.
1. Turn off the last manual gas cock.
2. Adjust setpoint above room temperature to call for
heat.
3. Watch for ignition spark following prepurge. See
ignition module specifications.
4. Time the length of the spark operation. See the
ignition module specifications.
5. After the module locks out, open the manual gas cock
and make sure no gas is flowing to the main burner.
6. Reset the ignition control relay (RE-02).
7. Operate system through one complete cycle to
make sure all controls operate properly.
United Technologies Electronics Control Operation
of the Series 1016-400 Direct Spark Ignition
Control (RE-02)
On a call for heat a five second pre-purge is initiated.
Upon completion of the pre-purge, the gas valve and
60Hz spark are energized. When flame is detected,
the control enters the steady state heating condition.
Steady state heating will continue until the call for heat
is satisfied.
If ignition is not achieved within 15 seconds, the control
shuts off the gas and locks out. If the trial for ignition has
been accomplished without ignition, the control shuts off
all outputs and enters lockout. Reset is accomplished
by cycling the power off for a minimum of 5 seconds. If
flame is lost once it has been established, the control will
shut off the gas valve within 0.8 seconds and locks out.
If flame is sensed during a purge period when no flame
should be present, the control will remain in purge with
the gas valve off until the false flame disappears. If the
gas valve is found to be powered when it should be off, or
not powered when it should be on, the ignition control will
enter lockout with all outputs off. Reset is accomplished
by cycling the power off for a minimum of 5 seconds.
The Red LED Diagnostics codes are:
Steady Off: No power or control hardware fault
Steady On: Power applied, control OK
1 Flash: Burner failed to light
2 Flashes: Flame was established but then went out.
3 Flashes: Control hardware fault detected
This equpipment has been electrically and fire tested
prior to shipment. However, during transit control
setpoints can change, and wiring can come loose. Do
not assume controls are defective until all associated
setpoints and wiring are checked.
If you do not have the optional BACview 6 (KP-01)
keypad display it will be difficult to troubleshoot
any alarm that may occur on the unit. To reset
most alarms on the I/O Zone 583 Controller (UC-01)
without a BACview 6 keypad display, simply turn
the power off and back on at the unit disconnect.
If you have a BACview 6 keypad display the alarm
can be reset remotely or at the I/O Zone 583
Controller.
The following is a simplified list of possible problems
and typical causes and remedies. However, it does
not cover all possibilities, and is intended as a guide
only. You might also need to reference the Digital
Control System User Manual for additional trouble-
shooting and diagnostics.

Thermistor Curve.
1. Read inlet pressure at
valve, using a manometer
with heater operating at full
fire. Pressure should be at
least equal to the sum of:
outlet pressure setting and
pressure drop of the valve
plus 1.0" w.c.
2. Read outlet pressure using
manometer and compare
with the pressure stated on
the specification plate.
1. Measure resistance per
Thermistor Curve.
1. Measure resistance per
item B1.
2. Inspect wiring.
