INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS OWNER / INSTALLER: For your safety this manual must be carefully and thoroughly read and understood before installing, operating or servicing this heater. INFRARED RADIANT CERAMIC HEATER STARGLO SG SERIES ! INSTALLER: This manual is the property of the owner. Please present this manual to the owner when you leave the job site. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, injury or death.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: ! ! ! ! DO NOT try to light any appliance. Extinguish any open flame. Open windows. DO NOT touch any electrical switch. DO NOT use any telephone in your building. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s telephone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the Fire Department. ♦ Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
1) SAFETY This heater is a self-contained infrared radiant ceramic heater. Safety information required during installation and operation of this heater is provided in this manual and the labels on the product. The installation, service and maintenance of this heater must be performed by a contractor qualified in the installation and service of gas fired heating equipment. All personnel in contact with the heater must read and understand all safety information, instructions and labels before operation.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS The heater area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. This heater is designed for use with one type of gas (PROPANE or NATURAL). Make sure that the type of gas to be supplied to this heater matches that shown on the heater rating plate. DO NOT install this heater directly onto a PROPANE container or propane cylinder without directions from your propane company.
This heater is for Indoor Installation only and can be used in Unvented mode. The term Unvented actually means Indirect Vented. While the products of combustion are expelled into the building, national codes require 4 CFM/1000 BTU of heater input ventilation in the building to dilute these products of combustion. This ventilation may be provided by gravity or mechanical means. This heater is not an explosion proof heater.
Combustible Items Include: Wood Paper Fabric Chemicals Wall or roof insulation Moving Objects Include: Overhead doors Vehicles on lifts Cranes Hoists Car wash equipment When installing the infra-red heater system, the minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained. These distances are shown in Chart below and on the heater.
INSTALLER In locations used for storage of combustible materials where they may be stacked below the heater, NFPA 54 requires that the installer must post signs that will “specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to combustibles.” Sunstar recommends posting these signs adjacent to the heater thermostat or other suitable location that will provide enhanced visibility.
6) SG SERIES DIMENSIONS 7) HANGING The heater can be mounted with the reflector horizontal or angled up to 35º from horizontal. When the heater is to be angle mounted, make sure the gas manifold assembly is on the lower side of the heater. Coil chains (No. 2 or larger) or rigid supports may be used to mount the heater, which must be suspended from a permanent structure with adequate load capacity.
1. Connect to the supply tank or manifold in accordance with the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1), and local building codes. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation is made. 2. All gas supply lines must be located in accordance with the required clearances to combustibles below the heater as listed on the nameplate of the heater. 3. Pipe joint compounds must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases. 4.
5. This appliance is equipped with a snap-opening, Certified connections are recommended combination gas valve. The maximum supply pressure to to be installed as shown, in one plane, the appliance is 14” W.C. or 1/2 P.S.I. If the line pressure and without sharp bends, kinks or twists.
2. With the main burner operating, check the burner manifold pressure using a water manometer. Gauges that measure pressure in pounds per square inch are not accurate enough to measure or set the manifold pressure. Use a water manometer or a gauge calibrated in inches of water column. All measurements MUST BE made when this heater and all other gas burning equipment that is connected to the gas supply system are operating at maximum capacity. 3.

This heater requires ventilation in the building to dilute the products of combustion and provide fresh air for efficient combustion. Power ventilation is recommended and the minimum vent flow required is as follows: SG3 SG4 SG6 SG8 140 cfm 160 cfm 280 cfm 320 cfm SG10 SG12 SG13, SG14 SG15 400 cfm 480 cfm 560 cfm 640 cfm If gravity ventilation is used, the required square feet of inlet and outlet vent area (depending on height and temperature difference) is as follows: SG3 0.49 s/f SG10 1.48 s/f SG4 0.
13) SEQUENCE OF OPERATION The chart below shows the sequence of operation for the normal operating cycle of the heater when connected to a permanent 120V power supply and the heater is turned on and off by a remote 120V thermostat. (See Section 10) If the flame is not sensed during sequence T2 then the burner will automatically begin re-ignition sequence T1. The ignition sequence will be repeated three times with a 15 second inter-purge. If the flame is not reestablished the heater will go to lockout.
15) BURNER OPERATION/TROUBLESHOOTING A) IGNITION MODULE DIAGNOSTICS The LED located on the ignition module (see Figure) will flash ON for ¼ second, then OFF for ¼ second during a fault condition. The pause between fault codes is 3 seconds. LED Indication Steady On 2 Flashes 3 Flashes Error Mode Internal Control Failure Flame Sense Fault Ignition Lockout B) FLAME SENSOR TESTING The flame current is the current that passes through the flame from the sensor to the ground.

16) OPTIONAL PARABOLIC REFLECTOR EXTENSION ASSEMBLY The heater is completely factory assembled and requires no field assembly. If the optional parabolic reflector extension is utilized, locate and identify the end panels and side panels as shown in the following diagram. Attach the side panels as shown. Attach the end panels so that the end flanges of the end panels overlap the side panels. Attach the side panels and end panels together with the screws provided in the kit.
