All models are listed for spot-heat or total building heat indoors (excluding residential), or for totally unprotected outdoor applications. Fixtures are also listed for recessed applications, such as in ceilings or canopies. 2-Lamp models are available in either Stainless Steel or a Hi-Temp Brown Powder Coated finish.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES EXPLOSION HAZARD FIRE HAZARD BURN HAZARD • Serious injury or death may occur. • Do not use in locations containing hazardous atmospheres. • Do not touch any part of heater while in operation or directly thereafter. It is very HOT. • Dimensions are listed in inches • Dimension “B” indicates the required clearance to combustibles; it DOES NOT indicate the required mounting height.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS ON PAGE 6 OF THIS MANUAL AND ON THE HEATER MUST BE MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES! NOTE: If asymmetrical reflectors are used, be sure to mount the wireway with the “T” slots facing away from the wall or obstruction, and toward the area to be heated. CAUTION: Install heater so that the quartz lamps are horizontal. Failure to do this may cause the heating element within the tube to sag and cause premature burnout.
TOTALLY EXPOSED OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS For totally exposed outdoor applications (not ceiling protected) the connections must be made as illustrated at right. Red sleeves used for visible light reduction are not recommended for applications near costal waters. Purchase lamps with integral light filter from factory for these applications. See page 13. Note: All conduit, conduit fittings and junction boxes are supplied by the customer.
