GUH RANGE PROPANE GAS FIRED UNIT HEATERS
Page 19 of 41
Note
When external controls operate to switch the heater OFF, power to the heater should remain to allow the
fan to continue to operate to sufficiently cool the heater thereby preventing damage to the heat
exchanger.
2.8 Time switch
Caution
Time switches may only be fitted if they are of an approved type, and must have separate motor
connections, the motor must be connected to a suitable live and neutral supplies, and with the switching
contacts then wired in series from the neutral side of the room thermostat to terminal 7 .
Reference should be made to the wiring diagrams contained with the time switch, and within section 6.0
of this manual
2.9 Room thermostat
Any external room thermostat should be fitted with the common terminal (if fitted with changeover
contacts) to terminal 5.
If the thermostat is fitted with a heat anticipator this should be fitted to terminal 2.
The thermostat should be mounted at a height of approximately 1.5mm from the floor in an area where
the ambient temperature is representative of the area to be heated. The siting of the room thermostat
should be in a draught free area. or in an area where temperatures are free from the influences of direct
sunlight or heated discharged air.
2.10 Fan limit control
( Situated inside the right hand side panel)
Fan control (white button)
The fan control switch features normally open 230V contacts, and is wired to control the live supply to
the fan motor . When the circuit is made, the fan will switch on when the heat anticipator has closed the
fan switch contacts. When the thermostat or time switch shuts down the burner, the fan will continue to
run until the thermal switch has cooled sufficiently to prevent the residual heat from damaging the heater
or its controls.
On startup the fan delay prevents air being circulated until the desired temperature is achieved
Limit control (red button)
An adjustable high temperature manual reset limit control. If this control needs resetting the cause should
be determined and rectified immediately.
On models with two fans a second limit control is situated inside the left side panel and is wired in series.
Operation of either switch will shut down the heater
On the 400 with 4 fans a further 2 limit sensors are fitted and they are linked to the relevant control
Caution
The power supply to the fan must not be interrupted, the only time when power supply can be
disconnected or interrupted is during servicing or in emergencies.
If there is a requirement for the heater to be switched off over night then the gas valve circuit should be
opened via a time switch, etc, as per the wiring instructions and diagrams supplied within section 6.0 of
this manual.
