MOUNTING WARNING: Hazard of Electric Shock. Disconnect all power before installing heater. Minimum mounting distances for all heaters are as shown in Figures A and B. Using the No. 2 size chain and “S” hooks furnished, heaters are to be suspended in a horizontal position only. NOTE: For proper balance, it is suggested that each of the four corners be individually suspended (rather than gathered into a common center mounting point, see Figure C and D).

OPERATION WARNING: This heater is not intended for use in hazardous atmospheres where flammable vapors, gases, liquids or other combustible atmospheres are present as defined in the National Electrical Code. Failure to comply can result in explosion or fire. 1. Minimum spacing from front of heater case to combustible material is: 4 ft. — RBC3-12 (1200W) 7 ft. — RBC3-24 or RBC3-36 (2400W or 3600W) 2. Avoid temperatures in excess of 194°F on nearby combustible surfaces. 3. Do not operate heaters at voltages in excess of that stamped on heater nameplate since excess voltage will shorten heater life. 4. CONTROLLING RADIANT INTENSITY — When it is desirable to reduce radiant intensity, Input Controllers may be used. These motor-driven cycling devices can be used to vary heater output capacity from 4% to 100%. Cycling devices are usually connected in holding coil circuit of magnetic contactors. For further information regarding Input Controllers and Contactors, see Chromalox catalog and/or contact your local Chromalox representative. 5. WARNING: Because of the possibility of someone unknowingly exposing the heater to combustible hazards, the heater should not be left in operation while unattended.
