IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read all instructions before installing or using the heater.

2. This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep away

from combustible materials at minimum, the following required distances. DO NOT install closer

than 36 inches to a vertical surface or 24 inches to a ceiling. Heaters MUST BE SEPARATED by

more than 36 inches and 87 inches from any combustible surface in direct radiation path.

3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever

the heater is left operating and unattended.

4. Do not operate any heater after it malfunctions. Disconnect power at service panel and have heater

inspected by a reputable electrician before reusing.

5. Do not use outdoors.

6. To disconnect heater, turn controls to o󰀨, and turn o󰀨 power to heater circuit at the main disconnect

panel (or operate internal disconnect switch if provided).

7. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause

an electric shock or re, or damage to the heater.

8. To prevent a possible re, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.

9. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or

ammable vapors or liquids are used or stored.

10.Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the

manufacturer may cause re, electric shock, or injury to persons.

As dened in ANSI Z535-4-2002

Thank you very much for selecting Fostoria’s overhead electric infrared heating equipment for your

comfort heating needs. These products were engineered with the most reliable components and

materials available and are equipped with features to assure ease of installation and maintenance.

The warmth you will now enjoy when using this heating equipment is created by a heat source; a at

panel emitter; that emits infrared energy in the form of heat, like the sun. This is an economical way

to heat because it heats people and objects, not the air, so you don’t need to heat a large area to feel

warm.

CHECKING YOUR SHIPMENT

• Upon receipt of your shipment, check all cartons for visible damage.

• Claims for damaged material or shortages that were not evident upon receipt of shipment must

be reported to carrier and TPI Corporation’s customer service (800-251-0382) immediately.

• Any accessory items ordered for the heater will be shipped in separate cartons.

THANK YOU!!

ATTENTION:

The table to the right provides

denitions of the signal words

Fostoria’s at panel emitter heaters are equipped with heating elements that are manufactured using

materials with exceptional mechanical and thermal performance and are built with precise process

control to provide rugged and reliable infrared performance in challenging environments. It is our

understanding that these precision characteristics can change with time, specically in environments

with high humidity or where mechanical damage can occur, causing the internal electrical insulation to

weaken.

Installer Qualications

The installation and wiring of Fostoria FSA heaters

must be performed by a licensed electrician.

Installer Responsibility

The National Electric Code (NEC) and local

codes and ordinances together with specications

provided by Fostoria comprise the information

needed for proper installation.

The installer must furnish all materials that

have not been purchased from Fostoria or its

representatives. It is the installer’s responsibility

that the materials and methods of installation

result in a job that is workmanlike and compliant

with all applicable codes.

Preparations For Hanging Heaters

• Hardware to suspend these heaters from overhead supports (chain, “S”-hooks etc.) is not included

with the product. Make certain that the hardware to be used is capable of supporting at least twice

the total weight of the heater’s in question. Refer to the specications section of this manual for

product weights.

• Identify and use installation locations that are strictly compliant with the clearance-to-combustibles

requirements in the installation section of this manual.

• Mounting height is an important consideration to assure satisfaction with the heating performance

of infrared heaters. Fostoria has many years of practical experience in the successful application

infrared technology. For that reason, recommended mounting heights have been included in

the in

stallation section of this manual. Please refer to this data and select installation points where

these recommendations can be followed.

FIRE HAZARD

• Serious injury or death may

occur.

• Heater circuit load calculations

and circuit design must be

done by a licensed electrician

or engineer.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

FORM 9761 REV. A ECO 1-7899 2/20238 OF 14

Supply Wire Size Recommendations

The table at the right is provided to assist the

licensed electrician in sizing the electric supply

wires required to deliver power to each individual

heater. All branch circuit supply wiring must be

copper, rated 90oC minimum and comply with all

local codes and the NEC.

All recommended wire sizes assume a 50ft.

maximum wire length.

REQUIRED CLEARANCES

DO NOT install heaters closer than 36 inches to a

vertical surface or 24 inches to a ceiling. Heaters

MUST BE SEPARATED by more than 36 inches and

87 inches from any combustible surface in direct

radiation path.

HEATER HANGING ALTERNATIVES

One method of hanging the heaters (shown below)

is with hardware chain and “S” hooks. The chain and “S”

hooks must be either 14 or 16 gauge for all models. The

heaters also can be mounted “xed” with angle iron,

metal rods or metal straps OR threaded rod.. Whatever

means is used to mount the heaters, the terminal box

must be EVEN WITH or LOWER THAN the horizontal

plane of the heater housing.

FIRE HAZARD

BURN HAZARD

• Install heaters to comply with

REQUIRED CLEARANCES

listed above at right.

• Do not mount heaters

vertically.
