INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SERIES OKA – INFRARED RADIANT HEATERS
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD WARNING - During operation, take precautions to ensure that
combustible materials are always kept at a safe distance from the radiant energy. This heater is
not intended for use in hazardous areas where flammable vapours, gases or liquids or other
combustibles are present. Remember that objects placed under an infrared heater can take a while
to reach stabilized temperatures. If you are unsure of the suitability of the heater for the intended
application, check with the factory for recommendations. Failure to comply can result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
DESCRIPTION
1.0
The OKA radiant heater is suitable for process heating in
non-hazardous areas protected from rain, snow or splashing, where
heating element temperatures in excess of 1382°F(750°C) will not
present the risk of fire or explosion. This heater is not intended for
use in comfort heating applications.
2.0
The OKA heater is available with metal sheathed, quartz
lamp or quartz tube heating elements. Use heaters with metal
sheathed elements where there is heavy vibration or mechanical
shock. Quartz tube or quartz lamp elements are very fragile and
require extreme care in handling. Heaters utilizing quartz tubes or
quartz lamps are unsuitable for applications in locations where the
risk of heavy vibration or mechanical shock exists.
3.0
To avoid damage in transit, heaters with quartz lamp or
quartz tube elements are shipped with the elements not installed in
the fixture.
4.0
A minimum of handling of the quartz sheath is
recommended since any type of contamination on the sheath may
reduce service life.
INSTALLATION
The system designer is responsible for
the safety of this equipment and
adequate back-up controls and safety
devices must be installed. Failure to
comply could result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
Heaters must be wired by qualified
personnel in compliance with local
codes.
5.0
Verify that the nameplate voltage and wattage are suitable
for use on the available electrical power supply. Do not connect
the heater to an electrical supply voltage other than shown on the
product label.
For metal sheathed heaters, insulation
contamination
or
moisture
accumulation can cause fault to the
element sheath generating arcing and
releasing molten metal. Install proper
ground fault protection to prevent
personal injury and/or property
damage.
6.0
When mounting, maintain a minimum clearance to
combustibles of 15”(381 mm) at sides, 10”(254 mm) at top and
12”(305 mm) at ends.
Heaters with quartz tube or quartz lamp
type heating elements are suitable for
horizontal mounting only. Heaters with
metal sheathed heating elements can
be mounted in any desired position.
7.0
For short circuit protection, heaters must be installed with
proper fast acting fuses or breakers as close as possible to the
amperage draw of the unit(s), in compliance with the local electrical
codes.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FORCED AIR HEATERS - TYPE GE
CAUTION
To ensure unrestricted air flow through the heater and avoid high
temperatures on any adjacent surfaces, the sides, rear and top
of the heater case should be spaced away from walls and ceiling
not less than the minimum distances marked on the nameplate.
MOUNTING
The heater may be suspended from a truss of suitable support
by a bolt through the catalog number CB swivel bracket (A), Fig.
1, or may be bolted to a wall bracket (B), catalog number WB
Fig. 2, and swivelled to face any direction. The heater may be
suspended by two tie bolts with jam nuts (C), which should be
tightened down against the top of the case, Fig. 3.
The tie bolts may be fastened to the catalog number CB bracket
(A), allowing the heater to swivel, Fig. 4.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
The power supply may be single or three phase as shown on
the nameplate. Wiring diagrams are on the inside of the terminal
compartment cover which is the removable right hand side panel.
Connection box volume: 2-10kW: 9893cm
3
15-40kW: 32333cm
3
GROUNDING
A ground screw with a cup washer is located beside the terminal
block.
OVER-HEAT PROTECTION
In the event of fan failure, an automatic reset limit switch opens a
contactor control circuit, breaking the power supply to the heater.
Models without a built-in contactor should have the limit switch
wired in the control circuit of an external contactor, and for three
phase supply, this control circuit should be connected to lines 2
and 3 which feed the centre heating element, as shown in the
wiring diagrams.
The limit switch is rated 600 volts, 10 Amps resistive.
The fan motor has built-in thermal overload protection.
LOUVRED GRILLE
The grille bars all move together and can be set at any angle
between 10° and 35° down when the two bottom screws are
loosened. The bars are locked in position when these screws are
tightened.
WARRANTY
CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. warrants to the original purchaser
of Forced Air Heaters that they are free from defects in material
and workmanship for one year of normal service when installed
and operated in accordance with the instructions provided by the
Company and subject to the following conditions:
1. Since the paint finish may be damaged in use, no warranty
applies to such paint finish except for manufacturing
defects which become apparent within 30 days from date
of installation.
2. Labour costs for removal and re-installation of parts which
may be repaired or replaced under this warranty are the
sole responsibility of the purchaser.
3. The warranty will not apply to parts which have been
subject to accident, misuse, abuse or operation on an
incorrect power supply.
4. Parts which become defective within the terms of the
warranty will be repaired or replaced at the option of CCI
Thermal Technologies Inc. without charge.
