These heaters utilize a system that ignites the gas by a conventional pilot flame rather than by direct spark or a hot surface igniter. L.B. White offers you the most dependable pilot system in the industry. Tested and proven over time, these heaters provide simple yet reliable operation. As a non-vented heater, adequate ventilation must be provided to ensure fresh air for combustion and removal of combustion by-products from the building. This style of heater is offered in a wide range of input ratings, some with variable heat control, to help manage heating needs efficiently. All heaters referred to in this guide are to be mounted inside the building at appropriate locations to help provide proper warm air flow in the room being heated. Key Markings; Purpose and Location Markings constitute safety related information such as the dataplate, start-up/shut-down instructions, warnings, etc. that are applied on the heater to allow the qualified service person or end user to operate the heater in a safe manner. Familiarize yourself with the location and content of all markings. Location may vary depending on model. If any markings are damaged or unreadable, replace the markings immediately. Contact the L.B.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include headaches, dizziness and difficulty in breathing. Refer to the specification section of this guide, the heater’s Owner’s Manual, heater dataplate, or contact ■ Symptoms of improper combustion affecting livestock can be disease, lower feed conversion, or death. FUEL GAS ODOR LP gas and natural gas have man-m made odorants added specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks. If a gas leak occurs, you should be able to smell the fuel gas. THAT’S YOUR SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION! ■ Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas. Do not operate any electrical switches. Do not pull any power supply or extension cords. Do not light matches or any other source of flame. Do not use your telephone. ■ Get everyone out of the building and away from the area immediately. ■ Close all propane (LP) gas tank or cylinder fuel supply valves, or the main fuel supply valve located at the meter if you use natural gas. ■ Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas. When you have reason to suspect a propane leak, keep out of all low areas. ■ Natural gas is lighter than air and can collect around rafters or ceilings. ■ Use your neighbor’s phone and call your fuel gas supplier and your fire department. Do not re-enter the building or area. ■ Stay out of the building and away from area until declared safe by the firefighters and fuel gas supplier. ■ FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the firefighters check for escaped gas. Have them air out the building and area before you return. Properly trained service people must repair the leak, check for further leakages, and then relight the appliance for you. ODOR FADING -- NO ODOR DETECTED ■ Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the odor of the man-m made chemical added to propane (LP) or natural gas. You must determine if you can smell the odorant in these fuel gases. ■ Learn to recognize the odor of propane (LP) gas and natural gas. Local propane (LP) gas dealers and your local natural gas supplier (utility) will be more than happy to give you a scratch and sniff pamphlet. Use it to become familiar with the fuel gas odor. ■ Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a period of time can affect your sensitivity to that particular odor. Odors present in animal confinement buildings can mask fuel gas odor. ■ The odorant in propane (LP) gas and natural gas is colorless and the intensity of its odor can fade under some circumstances. ■ If there is an underground leak, the movement of gas through the soil can filter the odorant. ■ Propane (LP) gas odor may differ in intensity at different levels. Since propane (LP) gas is heavier than air, there may be more odor at lower levels. ■ Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you continue to detect any gas odor, no matter how small, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately go into action as discussed previously. ATTENTION -- CRITICAL POINTS TO REMEMBER! ■ Propane (LP) gas and natural gas have a distinctive odor. Learn to recognize these odors. (Reference Fuel Gas Odor and Odor Fading sections above. ■ Even if you are not properly trained in the service and repair of the heater, ALWAYS be consciously aware of the odors of propane (LP) gas and natural gas. ■ If you have not been properly trained in repair and service of propane (LP) gas and natural gas fueled heaters, then do not attempt to light heater, perform service or repairs, or make any adjustments to the heater on propane (LP) gas or natural gas fuel system. ■ A periodic “sniff test” around the heater or at the heater’s joints; i.e. hose, connections, etc., is a good safety practice under any conditions. If you smell even a small amount of gas, CONTACT YOUR FUEL GAS SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT WAIT! 1.3-1 1 August 1999 General Information Safety Precautions 1.

The information in the pipe sizing tables was obtained from Engineered Control International, Inc., L.P. Gas Serviceman’s Manual L545. Pipe sizing is critical to the proper operation of any gas heating system. However, piping is dependent on several factors: d. Do not attempt gas supply line selection or installation unless you are properly trained and qualified. 1. Total gas load expressed in BTUH. 2. The gas pressure to be supplied through the piping system. This pressure may be expressed in pounds of pressure per square inch (psi) or inches of water column (W.C.). e. All gas supply lines must be leak checked after installation and when pressurized to provide a safe installation. Use only certified, approved leak detectors. 3. Distance that the gas must travel to feed the heater furthest from the regulator. This section provides a basic explanation of how to size piping for the heaters through the use of pipe sizing tables and a typical example. In all cases with this example, we will be using only pounds of pressure, expressed as 5 psi and not inches of water column. f. This is one example showing how to size piping for a building. Installation layouts differ as do the pressures being supplied to piping, whether you are using for LP gas or natural gas and the material (pipe or copper tubing) being used. INSTRUCTIONS a. Determine total gas demand for entire system, by adding up BTUH input from heater dataplates and adding demand for any other gas-fired appliances and any future heaters. a. Black iron pipe only was used in this example as it is less expensive per foot than copper tubing and, therefore, more commonly used. However, the same selection process using copper tubing may be done if so desired. Refer to appropriate pipe sizing tables for copper tubing. All pipe diameters given are measured in inner diameter (I.D.). Piping planning and installation must be done by an experienced, qualified LP gas installation agency. b. Measure the length of piping required from outlet of first-stage regulator to the appliance furthest away. No other length is necessary to do the sizing. In this example the distance from first-stage regulator to appliance furthest away is 230 ft. b. The minimum pipe size normally used in many situations is 1/2 in. nominal. c. Make a sketch of the piping system and installation. See Fig. 1. Fig. 1 LP Tank First Stage Regulator (Tank Pressure Reduced to 5 psig) A 50' 20' 50' F 50' E 50' D 30' C 30' B 50' H G Heater Second Stage Regulator, 5 psig Inlet 20' 40' 300' 2.2-1 1 August 1999 Installation Instructions Pipe Sizing EXAMPLE (Refer to Fig 2) IMPORTANT: If exact length is not on chart, use next longer length. Select the size of pipe that shows at least as much capacity as needed for each piping section. c. Section C to D must supply a load of 750,000 BTUH. Select 3/4 inch pipe for Section C to D. d.

ATTENTION ■ The following is supplied for informational purposes only. ■ Consult your LP gas supplier for specific requirements. A tank is propane storage container ranging in size from 150 gallons to 10,000 gallons or larger. For agricultural heating applications, the tank sizes typically used are either 500 gallons or 1,000 gallons with 1,000 gallons being the most common. The size and quantity of tanks will vary and is dependent on the total heating load at the site. --- The heat input rating is located on the dataplate. The coldest outside air temperature at night that the tank(s) will be exposed to. ■ Percentage of propane remaining in the tank prior to refill. Your fuel gas supplier will inform you at what level a refill will normally occur. IMPORTANT In determining tank size and quantity, several factors apply: ■ ■ ■ Minimum vaporization of propane from liquid to vapor occurs when temperatures are coldest and liquid level of propane in the tank is lowest. ■ Size the quantity of tanks for the lowest temperature you can expect in your area. Total heat load of the building --- To determine total load, add up the heat input (expressed in BTUH) for all gas-fired heaters, Refer to the following table to identify the heat output of tanks at various temperatures and levels of fullness.

A. In the 1,000 gallon tank sizing chart, locate -10º F. outside temperature. B. Locate the column which identifies 30% of propane remaining in the tank prior to refill. C. The intersection of these two variables identifies the heat input. In this example, a 1,000 gallon tank can supply 276,500 BTUH. (See shaded area in table.) 2.3-1 1 D. To determine the total number of tanks required: Total Heat Load of Building Heat Output of 1,000 Gallon Tank or NOTE: 1,500,000 BTUH/Building 276,500 BTUH/Tanks = 5.4 Tanks (6 Tanks) Always round up fractions or decimals. See example. (Example: 5.4 tanks = 6 tanks). This will give you some extra capacity especially in cold weather, in the event your LP gas supplier cannot refill your tanks immediately. August 1999 Installation Instructions Tank Location and Installation ATTENTION ■ The following is supplied for informational purposes only. ■ Tank installation shall only be accomplished by a qualified LP gas installation person. ■ State and local codes must be observed at all times. ■ In absence of state and local codes, follow ANSI/NFPA58 Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases. Once the proper size of the LP gas supply tank(s) has been determined, attention must now be given to the most convenient, yet safe, location of the tanks on the customer’s property. Tanks should be placed in a location pleasing to the customer that does not conflict with state or local regulations or NFPA 58 (Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases). Generally, LP gas tanks should be placed in an accessible location for filling, supported by concrete of appropriate size and reinforcement, and located away from vehicular traffic. Where the tank may be subjected to abrasive action or physical damage due to vehicular traffic or other causes, it must be placed not less than two feet below grade, or otherwise protected against such physical damage. Regardless of its size, attention must be paid to the tank distance from building openings, external sources of ignition, intakes to any outdoor mounted heaters, or mechanical ventilation systems. Refer to NFPA58 and the following illustration for the minimum distances that the LP gas tanks must be placed from the building or other objects.

REGARDLESS OF SIZE, ALL TANKS FILLED ON SITE MUST BE LOCATED AT LEAST 10 FEET FROM NEAREST SOURCE OF IGNITION (FANS, HEATERS, ETC.) 2. THIS DISTANCE MAY BE REDUCED TO NO LESS THAN 10' FOR A SINGLE CONTAINER OF 1200 GALLON CAPACITY OR LESS, PROVIDED THAT THE CONTAINER IS AT LEAST 25' FROM ANY OTHER L.P. GAS CONTAINER OF MORE THAN 125 GALLON CAPACITY. 3. DISTANCE FROM TANK TO BUILDING FOR TANKS OF 2,001-30,000 GALLON CAPACITY IS 50 FEET. August 1999 2.4-1 1 Installation Instructions LP Gas Tank Manifolding ATTENTION ■ The following is supplied for informational purposes only. ■ Tank manifolding shall only be accomplished by a qualified LP gas installation person. ■ Local and state codes must be observed at all times. ■ In absence of state and local codes, follow ANSI/NFPA58 Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases. It has been a long-standing industry practice to manifold two or more LP gas storage tanks together in order to increase gas system vaporization capacity. However, when tanks are manifolded together, never use a first-stage regulator at each tank. If this is done, the total required capacity for the installation may not be obtained. It is almost impossible to set all regulators at the identical pressure. Therefore, the regulator delivering the highest outlet pressure will backpressure the other regulators, in turn keeping them from operating. In effect, only one tank would be supplying gas to the building. In this situation, especially on large capacity installations, ignition failures would occur due to poor gas volume and pressure. To eliminate this problem, run high pressure piping from the LP gas tanks into a common line, then install one first-stage regulator that can handle the required capacity of the installation. Refer to the following illustrations.

Always use approved pipe thread compound suitable for use with L.P. gas or natural gas on the threaded connections. 2. Assemble the components together according to the figure. This view is to show general assembly of the components only. 6. The heater’s gas regulator (with pressure relief valve) should be installed outside of building. Any regulators inside the buildings must be properly vented to the outside. Local, state and national codes always apply to regulator installation. Natural gas regulators with vent limiting device may be mounted indoors without venting to outdoors. 3. Tighten all connections securely. 7. 4. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved gas leak detectors. All gas pressure regulators must be installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s safety instructions. These instructions accompany each regulator. 5. The heater must have the proper gas regulator installed for the application. A regulator must be connected to the gas supply so that gas pressure at the inlet to the gas valve is regulated within the range specified on the dataplate at all times. Contact the L.B. White Co., Inc. if you have any questions. 8. Any heater connected to a piping system must have an accessible, approved manual shut off valve installed within six feet (6 ft.) of the appliance it serves. The manual shut-off valve can be installed before the regulator, under the eave of the building, or after the regulator inside the building. REGULATOR GAS FLOW REGULATOR VENT NIPPLE VALVE, MANUAL SHUT-OFF GAS HOSE ADAPTER TO CONTROL SEDIMENT TRAP VALVE INLET August 1999 2.6-1 1 Installation Instructions Sediment Trap Assemble the tee, nipples and cap together and tighten securely. The sediment trap assembly must always be mounted in a vertical position. Make sure pipe thread compound that is resistant to both L.P. gas and natural gas is used in making all connections. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved gas leak detectors. Make certain that a sediment trap is installed at the gas valve inlet to prevent foreign materials (pipe compound, pipe chips and scale) from entering the gas valve. Debris blown into the gas valve may cause a malfunction resulting in a serious gas leak that could result in a possible fire or explosion causing loss of products, building or even life. A properly installed sediment trap will keep foreign materials from entering the gas valve and protect the safe functioning of that important safety component. Tee 5 in.

(2) With any electrical problem, all wiring should be checked for good connections and proper voltage and repaired if a problem is found. (1) Some thermocouples use a retainer clip to secure the thermocouple into the pilot bracket. Make sure the thermocouple is pushed up completely into the hole so clip on thermocouple holds it securely within the bracket. Other thermocouples use a retainer nut to hold the thermocouple in place. Make sure the nut is securely tightened. Heater is not delivering proper heat output. Problem 14 Heater is not delivering proper air flow. Problem 13 Voltage Checks Procedure Checking for voltage supply to high limit switch. Testing for voltage at any of the components is a relatively easy procedure. The following illustrates how to check voltage at some of the components used in the heater. Apply the probe to the power input side of the limit switch and the other to ground. Voltage will appear after the air proving switch makes. Warning Electrical Shock Hazard ■ Troubleshooting may require the heater to be connected to its electrical supply. ■ Do not directly touch exposed terminal connections when checking voltage. Use only the insulated probes of the voltage tester. ■ Failure to follow this warning may result in electrical shock leading to personal injury. First, set the function selector switch of the tester to “AC” (alternating current). Check for voltage at either the ignition module or the individual component. To test, place one of your tester probes at the “hot” power supply terminal of the component being tested and the other probe to a grounded portion of the heater’s cabinet. (Normally, a sheet metal screw on the cabinet will serve this purpose.) Or, place your probes across the terminals of component being tested. The following are some examples showing both procedures: Checking for voltage supply to motor. Apply a tester probe to the end of the black motor wire and the other probe to ground. When the thermostat calls for heat, you will see approximately 120 volts readout on the meter display. This verifies the thermostat is supplying voltage and the wiring between the thermostat and the motor is in good condition. Checking for voltage supply to gas control valve from the high-llimit switch. Apply one probe to female terminal at end of gas control valve wire and the other to ground. You will see voltage appear, proving the air proving switch, high-limit switch, and respective wires are in order. Motor Wire August 1999 6.1-1 1 Component Testing Continuity Checks Continuity Checks High Limit Switch Equipment required: Digital Volt/Ohm Meter Explanation: In a continuity test, you simply want to determine whether or not an electrical pathway exists through a component. For these tests, it is important that the probes of the multimeter make good contact with the part being tested. They should touch bare metal or wire, not insulation, paint, or dirt. Alligator clips make firmer contact than needle probes, use them where possible. Also, manipulate wires to see if they are loose to help uncover loose connections. The components which exhibit good continuity within the electrical circuit also provide a resistance to the flow of electricity. The resistance is measured in ohms and will be displayed on the meter. You do not need to remove the components to check for continuity. The following illustrates how to check for continuity for some of the components used in the heater. Typically, components which show an open circuit and are not in proper working order will exhibit an “overload” readout on the display of the multimeter. These components should be replaced. However, some components such as an air proving switch have a set of normally open contacts. To verify proper operation, the switch arm needs to be pushed upward or the flapper lifted so the contacts are engaged. At this point an ohm reading should appear. Air-P Proving Switch Attention Make sure that the heater is disconnected from its electrical source before conducting this procedure. Failure to do so will result in damage to your meter. Procedure First, set your meter to the continuity scale (if provided) or the ohm(s) scale. Place the tester probes on the terminals of the component being tested. If your meter has an audible continuity feature you will hear a “ringing” sound in addition to seeing a read out in ohms. Examples of checking for continuity on several components are shown. 6.2-1 1 To check for proper thermostat operation, connect the testing probe to the thermostat terminals as shown. When the thermostat contacts are open, the meter will show an open circuit. When the thermostat is adjusted to call for heat, the contacts should close and you will see an ohm readout appear on the tester indicating that there is a completely closed electrical circuit through the thermostat. August 1999 Component Testing Continuity Checks Thermostat Attention ■ Many thermostats can be wired to open or close on an increase in temperature. ■ Make sure the thermostat is wired properly so the contacts close when the thermostat is set to a point above room temperature and open when the temperature is achieved. This will allow the heater to cycle accordingly. ■ Refer to the heater wiring diagram or the wiring diagram applied to the inside of the thermostat cover for proper connection. August 1999 6.2-2 2 Component Testing Thermocouple and Power Unit Tests PILOT BURNER Equipment Required: THERMOCOUPLE Volt / Ohm Meter with DC Scale Thermocouple Test Kit, Part Number 500-08506 The thermocouple is used in conjunction with the pilot safety control valve in supplying pilot gas to the pilot orifice. THERMOCOUPLE LEAD Here is How it Works: A thermocouple converts heat energy into electrical energy. When the tip of the thermocouple is properly positioned in the pilot flame, the temperature difference between the hot and cold junction generates a small amount of electrical energy in the form of direct current (DC) which is fed into the spring-loaded power unit within the control valve. The current holds the power unit open to allow gas to be fed to the pilot orifice. COLD JUNCTION MOUNTING CLIP OPTIONAL ATTACHMENT NUT HOT JUNCTION THERMOCOUPLE CONNECTOR NUT POWER UNIT CONNECTOR CONTACT CURRENT CONDUCTORS INSULATED WIRE COPPER TUBING POWER UNIT COIL SAFETY VALVE PLUNGER If the pilot flame is extinguished, or is too small to reliably heat the thermocouple, the DC output being generated drops below the minimum level required to hold the power unit open. The spring within the power unit pushes down the safety valve plunger, thereby discontinuing the flow of gas to the pilot and main burner. If pilot outage problems are occurring, there are several steps that you must complete before assuming the thermocouple, or the pilot safety control valve are defective. These are as follows: ■ Check inlet pressures to the control valve to make sure the pressure is within parameters specified on the heater’s dataplate. ■ Clean the pilot assembly components, or if necessary, replace the pilot orifice if it is plugged. ■ Insure that dirt is not located between the As long as the pilot gas stays lit and the pilot flame is directed to the thermocouple, the thermocouple will continue to create the small amount of electrical energy necessary to keep the power unit open. The following illustration shows the electrical circuit of the thermocouple with its relationship to the pilot safety control valve. thermocouple’s power unit contact and power unit within the safety control valve. ■ Insure that the thermocouple is properly positioned within the pilot burner bracket, that the pilot flame envelopes the thermocouple’s tip and the thermocouple’s contact is snugged at the gas control valve. (Tighten finger tight plus 1/4 turn.) ■ The pilot shield must be tight against the burner casting. ■ The pilot gasket (if applicable) is properly installed between pilot shield and casting. ■ If these items are satisfactory, then proceed to check both the DC output strength of the thermocouple and drop-out strength of the electromagnet within the power unit of the pilot safety control valve. 6.3-1 1 August 1999 Component Testing Thermocouple and Power Unit Tests Testing Procedures: C. THERMOCOUPLE CHECK (Applies to all thermocouples and gas control valves.) A. INITIAL PREPARATION 1. Disconnect the heater from its electrical supply. 1. Light the pilot. 2. Set your voltage tester to the DC scale, and if the tester is so equipped, set the scale to MV (millivolts). Connect the probes of multimeter to the millivolt tester. 2. Close the fuel supply valves to the inlet of the heater. B. TEST KIT INSTALLATION 1. Remove the thermocouple contact from the control valve. Thermocouple Contact 2. Thread the contact nut of the tester into the control valve and tighten finger tight plus 1/4 turn. 3. Observe the DC voltage reading. The reading should rise to at least 10 millivolts DC before leveling off. If the reading never reaches 10 millivolts, discontinue the test at this point and replace the thermocouple. Start the test over. If the reading is 10 millivolts or greater, and the pilot stays lit, discontinue the test and remove the test kit. Reinstall the thermocouple. 4. Reconnect the heater to its electrical supply. D. POWER UNIT CHECK Tester 1. Close the fuel supply valve to the heater and allow the pilot flame to be extinguished. 2. Monitor your meter reading. The millivolt reading will drop slowly as the thermocouple cools. 3. Thread the heater’s thermocouple into the tester and tighten finger tight plus 1/4 turn. Heater Thermocouple to Tester 4. Open the fuel supply valves to the heater. August 1999 3. Listen for the “snap” as the power unit within the control valve drops out (releases) normally within 30 60 seconds after pilot flame is extinguished. 4. If the millivolt reading is 4 millivolts DC or greater when the valve drops out, the power unit within the control valve is weak. The control valve must be replaced in its entirety. 6.3-2 2 Component Testing High Limit Switch Tests Method of Test: Disconnect the heater from its electrical supply before conducting this test. Remove the switch from its location. Hold the switch by one of its legs with a pliers and apply a small flame only to the sensing portion on the back side of the switch. Be careful not to melt the plastic housing of the switch when conducting this test. Within 1 minute, you should hear a “pop” coming from the switch which indicates the electrical contacts have opened. Let the switch cool down for about 10 - 20 seconds before firmly pressing the reset button on the switch. Check for continuity across the terminals of the switch to make sure the contacts are closed. Reinstall the switch into the heater and reconnect heater to its electrical supply. ATTENTION Model AB200 heaters incorporate a high limit switch with a sensing capillary. To test this switch, run a small flame back and forth along a 6 inch section of the capillary. Within 1 minute the electrical contacts of the switch should open. You may leave the switch in mounted position to perform the test. 6.4-1 1 August 1999 Wiring Diagrams Electrical Connection and Ladder Diagram The wiring diagram on the following page is provided to give the qualified service person information on the interconnection and sequence of operation of the electrical components of various models of L.B.

However, as with anything electrical or mechanical, problems may arise which will require you to determine what malfunction has occurred. Before you start troubleshooting, it’s a good idea to understand the components in their appearance and purpose. Main Operational Components A. Air Proving Flapper A stainless steel flapper (sail) located in the blower outlet that upon an increase in air pressure generated by the fan and motor, lifts and pivots upward and engages the air proving switch arm, thereby closing the switch contacts, establishing that the motor is up to full speed and sufficient airflow is present. B. Air Proving Switch Safety device that proves that proper motor speed and airflow is being achieved before the gas control valve is opened. C. Burner A device designed for the burning of gas or a gas/air mixture in the combustion zone. D. Burner Orifice Metering device which is drilled to a specific diameter to allow a volume of gas to be fed through the burner at the stated manifold pressure (see dataplate) to achieve proper heat output. August 1999 8.1-1 1 Servicing Instructions Component Identification and Function E. Fan Housing An assembly composed of the motor, fan wheel and housing for purposes of pulling air through the heater and discharging heated air into the room. F. Fan May be of blade or wheel designs depending on heater model. Used in conjunction with the motor and fan housing to pull hot air from the heater and blow it into the room for heating purposes. G. Gas Hose Flexible connector used to convey gas from gas supply line on building to heater. H. Heat Chamber 8.1-2 2 Metal “fire box” which is used to support the burner and fan assemblies while at the same time providing an area where combustion of gas occurs. August 1999 Servicing Instructions Component Identification and Function I. High Limit Switch A manually resetable temperature activated switch. Its purpose is as a safety device wired into the control system to sense when an overheat condition occurs, either at the heat chamber or blower outlet. The switch “opens” the electrical circuit to the gas control thereby shutting off gas flow. The switch has a button located in its center that will need to be pushed in to reset the contacts if the contacts open due to an overheat condition. J. Manifold Series of nipples or elbows that convey the gas from the outlet of the gas control valve to the burner orifice. K. Motor An electrically powered device, located in the air housing, in conjunction with the fan wheel to circulate air in the confinement area. L.

Refer to the following table and illustration. Model 346/348 Clearance 1/4 in. 408/410 AB200, AB250 1/8 in. 3. Remove the nuts that hold the mounting plate to the motor. Nuts August 1999 CLEARANCE 8.2-3 3 Servicing Instructions Air-Proving Flapper (Sail) The flapper is located in the blower outlet. As discussed in Section 9.1, Component Identification and Function, its purpose is to assist the air-flow switch in establishing proper air pressure and, therefore, fan speed is achieved before the gas valve opens. However, over a period of time, the flapper may accumulate deposits of dust or dirt affecting its ability to pivot, thereby creating system failures. It then will be necessary to check this mechanism for operation. Cleaning/Adjusting Procedure: 1. Disconnect the electrical supply and shut off gas to the heater. 2. Make sure the sail moves up and down freely. Check for debris, burrs or housing alignment that would cause the pivot points of the flapper to bind. Clean with a soft brush or compressed air if necessary. 5. Using a needle nose pliers, gently bend up the arm of the flapper (NOT THE SWITCH ARM) in increments until the sail arm engages the switch arm, closing the contacts of the switch when the sail body trailing edge is 1 in. up off of housing bottom or rivet. 3. The arm of the flapper should engage the arm of the switch when the trailing edge of the flapper body is lifted approximately 1 1/4 in. to 1 3/8 in. off the housing bottom or rivet (if supplied). At this distance you should hear an audible click which are the contacts closing within the switch. 4. If the switch contacts do not close within this distance, then manually push in the switch arm to make sure the switch is not defective. If a “click” is heard, normally the switch is good and the sail arm then needs to be adjusted. (If in doubt, check for continuity.) Trailing Edge Rivet Replacing the Flapper: If the flapper ever needs replacement, you will need to remove the fan and motor assembly from the housing. (See Section 6.2) You can now pull up on the main body of the flapper, thereby popping it from its mounting holes. To replace the flapper, bend the pivot point (opposite air-proving switch) down just enough so it allows the flapper to mount in the support holes. Once installed, push down with enough force nearest this pivot point to realign the pivot and the flapper body. Test the flapper to make sure that its arm engages the air-flow switch arm properly and that the contacts of the switch close within the prescribed distance. 8.3-1 1 August 1999 Servicing Instructions Air-Proving Switch For Units With Flapper: 1. Shut off gas supply and disconnect heater from electrical source. 2. Disconnect air-proving switch leads. Make sure on reassembly that two nuts per screw are used as spacers between the switch and housing side panel. These nuts are tightened securely against the housing side panel. Slide the switch onto the screws and secure the switch in place using the two remaining nuts. 3. Some models may have the air-proving switch mounting nuts located on the inside of the fan housing. Remove the motor and fan assembly from the housing. Remove the nuts and pull the switch and screws from the housing. Two Spacer Nuts per Screw 4. The replacement switch will ship with appropriate quantity of nuts and two screws. Mount the replacement switch so each mounting screw head is located inside the fan housing with threads exposed to the switch side of the housing. Screw Heads Flapper Arm NOTE: When replacing the switch, make sure the arm of the switch is located above the flapper arm. ATTENTION Flapper ■ Model 346 heaters do not include air proving devices. ■ Model AS040 heaters incorporate a centrifugal switch within the motor to prove that the motor as turning at proper speed before supplying power to the gas control valve. The centrifugal switch cannot be replaced. If it fails, replace the motor. August 1999 8.4-1 1 Servicing Instructions Pilot Assembly CAUTION 4. Clean the pilot assembly using a soft brush or compressed air. Allow the pilot assembly to cool before servicing. 1. Disconnect the heater from its electrical supply and close all fuel supply valves to the heater. 2. Open the burner end access door or remove the access panel. 3. Remove the screw(s) that secure the pilot assembly to the burner. 5. If necessary, use the appropriate wrench to loosen the pilot line’s compression nut at the orifice inlet and to remove the orifice from the pilot bracket. You may need to remove the pilot bracket from the burner to accomplish this. ATTENTION Pilot Line Nut Some models may require removal of a single wing screw which holds the pilot assembly to the burner. Wing Screw Orifice 8.5-1 1 August 1999 Servicing Instructions Pilot Assembly 6. Pilot orifices may incorporate one or two holes, depending on design. Hold the orifice up to light to make sure the orifice is clear of blockages. 8. Reverse these procedures to reinstall the orifice, pilot line and shield. ATTENTION Holes For Heaters so Equipped: ■ Use care when servicing the pilot assembly to prevent damage to the pilot gasket. ■ Make sure the pilot gasket is properly positioned around the two vertical ribs on the face of the burner before reassembly. Failure to properly install the gasket will result in pilot outages. ■ Use the pilot assemblies’ threaded stud to assist in holding the pilot in position during reassembly. 7. If the orifice is plugged, blow out the orifice with compressed air or replace the pilot orifice if the blockage cannot be removed. IMPORTANT ■ The hole(s) in the pilot orifice are drilled to a specific size to match the fuel and gas pressure. Gasket Stud ■ Do not poke or push sharp instruments into the orifice hole(s). This may create pilot light outages or sooting. Burner Ribs ■ Do not use a pliers to remove the pilot orifice. Pliers will round off the hex nut on the base of orifice, creating difficulty in servicing later. Use only the appropriate size wrench. ■ Do not “kink” the pilot line when servicing. Doing so may reduce gas flow to the pilot orifice resulting in pilot outages. August 1999 8.5-2 2 Servicing Instructions Thermocouple CAUTION 4. Remove the connector nut at the power unit on the gas control valve. Allow the pilot assembly to cool before servicing. 1. Disconnect the heater from its electrical supply and close all fuel supply valves to the heater. 2. Remove the screw(s) that secure the pilot assembly to the burner. Nut 5. To reassemble, reverse these procedures. 3. Pull down on the thermocouple to disengage its retaining clip from the pilot bracket, or loosen the attachment nut (if so equipped). 6. Reconnect the heater to its electrical supply and open the fuel supply valves to the heater. 7. Light the pilot. 8. Start the heater and check for proper operation. ATTENTION ■ The thermocouple is an important safety device which works directly with the pilot safety control valve. It should only be replaced with a thermocouple that has proper tip length to prevent pilot outages. See parts lists to order the appropriate thermocouple. ■ When threading the thermocouple’s connector nut back into the power unit on the pilot control valve, thread the nut in finger tight and then snug it in place with the appropriate wrench. DO NOT USE UNNECESSARY FORCE WHEN TIGHTENING, otherwise the power unit in the control valve may be destroyed. 8.6-1 1 August 1999 Servicing Instructions Thermocouple ■ Do not use pliers when removing or tightening the ■ Insure the thermocouple is fully and firmly ■ Insure dirt or debris has not fallen into the power ■ Do not make sharp kinks or bends in the attachment nut or connector nut.

However, it is good to know the location of the switch when working on the heater. Typically, the switch is located on the heat chamber face or at another similar location at the burner end of the heater. Some models may have the switch located on a bracket near the burner. thickness may vary with model and design. appropriate parts list. Refer to Spacer Other heater designs may have the switch mounted directly to the flat of the heat chamber face. Familiarize yourself with switch mounting characteristics. Without Spacer Depending upon model, and design sequence, some heaters used a spacer between the legs of the high limit switch and the heat chamber. These allowed the switch to open at the proper temperature. If your heater is so equipped, insure the spacers are reinstalled prior to mounting the switch. Spacer 8.7-1 1 August 1999 Servicing Instructions High-Limit Switch Replacement Specifically relating to the AB200 heater, the high limit is a capillary and switch mounted to a bracket near the burner. If switch replacement is necessary you will need to route the capillary behind the burner, and then across the heat chamber face, allowing 12 inches of capillary to be in contact with the heat chamber. The capillary is held in position by tabs that are formed from the heat chamber. Insure you have also installed the spacer clips on the capillary to prevent premature high limit tripping. ATTENTION ■ Four spacer clips are required per switch (spacer part #130-09051). ■ Install and position the spacers as illustrated. ■ Do not kink the capillary tube, or pinch it between the formed tabs and the heat chamber by using unnecessary force. Capillary damage with subsequent switch failure will occur.

This can create poor burning of the fuel gas, resulting in nuisance heater problems. Removal of burner and orifice may be required if blockages cannot be removed by general cleaning. If removal is necessary, refer to the following instructions. Familiarize yourself with these procedures before disassembly. 1. Shut off the gas supply to the heater and disconnect the heater’s electrical supply. Allow heater to cool. 2. Remove the hose and sediment trap from the inlet of the gas control valve. 3. Remove the burner retaining bolt or screws from the underside of the heater. Bracket Bolt 4. Open the burner end access panel (if applicable). 5. Remove the protective cover from over the control valve (if applicable). 6. The gas control valve with manifold can now be readied for removal from the heater. This procedure varies slightly depending on model and age of the heater. Some models allow the removal of two screws that can be accessed at the control valve inlet. Bracket Others may also require removal of a bolt that secures the control valve to the heater base. Some may require removal of a bracket at the control valve inlet, or beneath the throttle valve on the manifold. 8.8-1 1 August 1999 Servicing Instructions Burner and Burner Orifice 7. Remove the two screws and spacers located at the right and left hand top of the burner casting (if applicable). Screw 8. Disconnect the electrical leads, pilot line, and thermocouple from the gas control valve. 9. Remove the burner and valve/manifold assembly from the heater. Some larger models may require you to pivot the valve and manifold assembly to remove the orifice from beneath the burner. 10. Hold the burner casting up to a light. If it appears plugged, then use compressed air to try and remove the blockage. If this is not successful, straighten a wire coat hanger and push it up from the gas inlet end of the casting, moving it around vigorously to dislodge dust, dirt, insect nests, etc. Blow out with compressed air. August 1999 Orifice 11. Check the orifice for external build up of dust. Brush or blow off as necessary. If it still appears plugged, remove and inspect the burner orifice. Blow out the orifice hole with compressed air until the hole is open. Also, inspect the manifold area into which the orifice was threaded to make sure there aren’t any blockages. If necessary, remove that portion of the manifold and clean it also. 12. Reassemble all components. Use pipe thread compound on threaded connections. 13. Restart the heater. Check for proper burner flame characteristics and for gas leaks. 8.8-2 2 Servicing Instructions Leak and Gas Pressure Checks Equipment Required: A. Preparation 1 - 3/16 Hex Head Allen Key 1. Make sure all threaded connections to the inlet of the control valve are tightened securely. Obtain two pressure gauges capable of reading up to 35 in. W.C. 2 - Low Pressure Gauge Kits, Part Number 550-00764 2. Disconnect the heater from the electrical supply and close the fuel supply valve to the heater inlet. Certified Leak Detectors 3. Open or remove the burner access panel. Remove the protective cover from over the control valve, if applicable. ATTENTION This procedure is to be done once a year prior to the heating season, any time the appliance is moved from one location to the other, or after servicing the heater. WARNING Fire and Explosion Hazard 4. Brush or blow off any dust or dirt on or in the vicinity of the gas control valve. B. Gauge Installation 1. Locate the inlet and outlet pressure taps. ■ Do not disassemble the gas control valve. ■ Do not attempt to replace any components on the gas control valve. ■ The gas control valve must be replaced if any physical damage occurs to the control valve assembly. ■ Failure to follow this warning will result in fire or explosions, leading to injury or death to humans and livestock, and building damage. Inlet Pressure Tap Outlet Pressure Tap ATTENTION ■ The following explains a typical procedure to be followed in checking gas pressures on control valves. ■ The gas pressures will vary depending upon heater model and fuel type. ■ Consult the dataplate or the heater specification on pages 4 and 5 in this guide for specific pressures to be used in conjunction with this procedure. 2. Using a 3/16 in. allen key, remove the taps at the inlet and outlet of the control valve and install a threaded gauge adapter and a low pressure gauge at these points. Since some heaters used control valves from different manufacturers, the location of the pressure taps may vary slightly. ■ Gas pressure measured at the inlet to the gas valve is Inlet Pressure and gas pressure measured at the outlet of the gas valve is Burner Manifold Pressure. 8.9-1 1 August 1999 Servicing Instructions Leak and Gas Pressure Checks Gauge Adapter a. Check all pipe connections, hose connections, fittings and adapters upstream of the gas control with approved gas leak detectors. In the event a gas leak is detected, check the components involved for cleanliness and proper application of pipe compound before further tightening. b. Tighten the gas connections as necessary to stop the leak. c. After all connections are checked and any leaks are stopped, start the heater so the main burner ignites. d. Stand clear while the main burner ignites to prevent injury caused from hidden leaks that could cause flashback. e. With the main burner in operation, check all connections, hose connections, fittings and joints as well as the gas control valve inlet and outlet connections with approved gas leak detectors. f. If a leak is detected, disconnect the heater from its electrical supply and close the fuel supply valve to the heater. Valve shown is outside of heater for clarity of view. C. Leak Check WARNING Fire and Explosion Hazard ■ Do not use open flame (matches, torches, candles, etc.) in checking for gas leaks. ■ Use only approved leak detectors. ■ Failure to follow this warning can lead to fires or explosions. ■ Fires or explosions can lead to property damage, personal injury or loss of life. g. Check the components involved for cleanliness in the thread areas and proper application of pipe compound. h. Tighten the gas connection as necessary to stop the leak. If necessary, replace the parts or components involved if the leak cannot be stopped. Ensure all gas leaks have been identified and repaired before proceeding. 1. Check all connections for gas leaks using approved gas leak detectors. Gas leak testing is performed as follows: August 1999 8.9-2 2 Servicing Instructions Leak and Gas Pressure Checks D. Reading Pressures 1. With the heater operating, the pressure gauges should read the pressures specified on the dataplate, or in the specification section of this guide. b. Using a standard screwdriver, turn the plastic adjusting screw until the gauge reads proper manifold pressure. Clockwise increases outlet pressure. Counterclockwise will decrease pressure. 2. Do the readings at the inlet and outlet pressure gauges agree with that specified on the dataplate? If so, then no further checking or adjustment is required. Proceed to Section F. 3. If the inlet pressures do not agree with that specified on the dataplate, then the building system regulator controlling gas pressure to the heaters requires adjustment. 4. If the inlet pressures are correct but the burner manifold pressure does not agree with that specified on the dataplate, then the gas control valve’s internal pressure regulator requires adjustment. Proceed to Section E. E. Burner Manifold Pressure Adjustment c. Reinstall regulator cap on valve. Refer to the following instructions, after proper inlet pressure has been established. NOTE: 1. Light the heater. Once the heater has lit, observe at the manifold (outlet) pressure gauge. Burner manifold pressure must be the same pressure as given on the dataplate. Procedures for adjusting outlet pressure on control valves used on earlier models are the same. However, the internal regulator on the valve is at a slightly different location. 2. If the manifold pressure does not correspond to the manifold pressure given on the dataplate, the outlet pressure must be adjusted at the valve by following these instructions. (This procedure must be accomplished with the burner on.) 3. Close the fuel valves and disconnect the electrical supply to the heater. a. Remove the regulator cap on the control valve to expose the output pressure adjusting screw. 5. Open the fuel supply valves and reconnect heater to electrical supply. Test heater for proper operation. (Valve shown outside of heater for clarity of viewing.) 4. Remove gauges and adapters and reinstall the pressure tap plugs, tightening both securely. F. Completion 1. Once inlet and burner manifold pressures have been confirmed and/or properly set, close the fuel supply valve to the heater and allow the heater to burn off any as remaining in the gas supply line. 2. Disconnect the heater from its electrical supply. Regulator Cap 8.9-3 3 3. Remove the gauges and connecting hoses. 4. Reinstall the pressure tap plugs and tighten securely. Check for gas leaks to insure the tap screws have seated properly. August 1999 Servicing Instructions Leak and Gas Pressure Checks The preceding instructions dealing with inlet and manifold pressure checks and leak testing generally apply to all control valves. However, due to model and age variations of heaters, there are several differences between control valves with which you must be familiar. Pilot Button ■ Part number 500-02309 has burner manifold pressure taps located on either side of the control valve’s main solenoid. ■ The inlet pressure tap is located near the pilot button and pilot line connection. ■ This control valve does not incorporate an internal gas shut off nor low pressure regulator. All pressure adjustments must be made at the second-stage regulator supplying gas to the heater. Additionally, the gas supply will need to be shut off at the supply line to isolate the heater.

If the defect occurs more than 12 months later than the date code but within 12 months from the date of purchase by the end user, a copy of a bill of sale will be required to establish warranty qualification. The warranty set forth above is the exclusive warranty provided by L.B. White, and all other warranties, including any implied warranties or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly disclaimed. In the event any implied warranty is not hereby effectively disclaimed due to operation of law, such implied warranty is limited in duration to the duration of the applicable warranty stated above. The remedies set forth above are the sole and exclusive remedies available hereunder. L.B. White will not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages directly or indirectly related to the sale, handling or use of the heater, and in any event L.B. White's liability in connection with the heater, including for claims based on negligence or strict liability, is limited to the purchase price. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
