Solaronics SSTG - Mounting Considerations; High Altitude

7
MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
• Clearance to combustible materials must be maintained.
• Mounting heights lower than the recommended Minimum Height may be used if personnel are not
kept directly under heater.
• The Distance From Wall measurement provides the most effective heat dispersion balance
between the floors and walls.
• There is practically no limitation on a maximum mounting height, however, the higher the heater is
mounted the less radiant heat is felt at the floor directly below the heater.
• By design, a straight infrared radiant tube heater will produce more heat at the burner end than at
the exhaust end. Locate the burner end where more heat is desired.

HIGH ALTITUDE
• High altitude is any altitude greater than 2000 feet (610 m) above sea level.
• These heaters are manufactured for use at the specific altitude range stated on the heater serial
plate. Do not install heater if it is not rated for the correct altitude. Contact factory if in doubt.
