MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

Special considerations should be made when selecting a location for your heater before installation. The most important of which should be a location that will serve to be the most functional and useful in providing heat. Suggested locations would be under an eave, on a wall of an open or partially enclosed patio, or on a fascia. This heater has been thoroughly tested and certified to function during and after mild rain storms, and during mild wind conditions. Be aware that by avoiding locations that subject your heater to constant wind or rain exposure will greatly extend the life or your new heater. Other considerations include its mounting position in relation to combustible materials. Combustible materials include wood, wood fascia, wood siding, stucco mounted over wood studs, vinyl siding, and drywall. See installation diagrams that reference mounting distances.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

- Select a location that provides the most functionality.

- Avoid locations that are prone to direct wind or rain exposure.

- This heater provides ample heat and large heat adjustability. It does not have to be located at eye level, as, its high output will allow a distant location to still be affective.

- Do not mount this heater indoors or in a totally enclosed room. It needs air to breathe and vent.

- Avoid locations that are in close proximity to combustible materials (see illustration diagrams and mounting distances)

- Avoid locations that are so low that the installation could cause danger for those passing by.

- Standard and preferred installation places the gas exit (and vented valve access cover) of the heater on the RIGHT side. This position places the gas exit and the AC adaptor cord at the REAR of the heater installation. This method is preferred, not only from a visual standpoint, but allows for slightly less pipe routing, and creates more pivot adjustability. There are times where right side hook up is not practical. The left side installation is still acceptable and the heater will perform equally as well. Simply consider that there will be slightly more gas line routing to perform.

- Do not mount heater within a close proximity to fire sprinklers (4 ft. minimum recommended) to avoid accidental activation of the sprinklers.

- It is recommended that the AC adaptor be used and the DC battery operation used as a secondary ignition source. Consider the proximity of the nearest 110V AC GFI grounded power outlet to the location of the heater. The power cord on the AC adaptor is 24 In. long and plugs directly into the right side wall of the heater. If there is no AC GFI grounded outlet near the desired installation site then one should be added by a qualified electrician. An outdoor extension cord can also be used, on a temporary basis, to bring AC power to the adaptor plug location.

CODE REQUIREMENTS

When connecting to a fixed fuel piping system the Installation must be in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z224 (in Canada CAN/CGA-B149.1 and -B149.2).

If AC power is being routed for AC/DC Transformer hook-up, then the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 shall apply (in Canada the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 Part 1 and Part 2 shall apply)

WARNING

SPRINKLERS: This appliance must be located at an appropriate distance away from fire sprinklers (4ft min. recommended) to avoid accidental activation of sprinkler. Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol must never be used in fire sprinkler systems where heaters are present, as these substances may become flammable when heated. A fire sprinkler professional must be consulted when heaters are installed where fire sprinklers are present to insure that heaters and fire sprinklers are properly integrated. Specific guidelines can be found in NFPA 13 regarding design and specifications for fire sprinkler systems near heaters.

IMPORTANT NOTES

WHERE'S THE WIND?

When selecting a suitable location, consider important factors such as exposure to the wind. Caution should be used when heaters are located in areas with prevailing winds.

HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?

Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects heater performance.

MAXIMUM RUNS FOR ALL APPLIANCES ON SUPPLY LINE
Run Length 3/4" Pipe (in feet)	Max BTU for all Appliances on line
10 360,000
20 245,000
30 198,000
40 169,000
50 150,000
60 135,000
70 123,000
80 115,000

CLEARANCE TO CONSTRUCTION

STRAIGHT MOUNTING

If the heater is to be mounted facing straight down with no angle on its pivot point, then the heater must be mounted NO CLOSER than 14" from any overhead combustible construction. The side clearances must be NO CLOSER than 12" to a side wall, and the rear clearances must be NO CLOSER than 12" to a rear wall. Use the LOWEST pair of holes in the mounting bracket extension arms. See illustration below.

ANGLED MOUNTING

If the heater is to be mounted at an angle up to 30 degrees on its pivot, then the heater must be mounted NO CLOSER than 18" from any overhead combustible construction. The side clearances must be NO CLOSER than 12" to a side wall, and the rear clearances must be NO CLOSER than 12" to a rear wall. Use the HIGHEST pair of holes in the mounting bracket extension arms. See illustration below.

GAS CONNECTION INFORMATION

The heater is factory set to use either propane (LP) or natural gas (NAT). This heater is dedicated to one of these two gas types and it is not easily field convertible. It is critical that the gas you use matches that which the heater was set up for. You can verify that by checking the rating plate.

The Rating plate lists model/serial numbers and gas type.

The rating plate is located in the following places:

• Attached to the top of the heater housing
  • Inside the valve compartment, behind the access cover

Ensure that the gas supplied meets with the minimum pressure requirements. Do not operate the heater on any gas other than that for which the heater has been set.

Fuel WC Min-Max	Inlet WC Min Under	Full Load at Valve
Nat Gas 6-10 in 5	in
LP 11-13 in 10 in

Water Column Requirements

It is important that the inlet gas piping system be size properly for the gas appliance that it serves. Please use the above chart for verification of the Gas Inlet Pressure required for this product.

NATURAL AND LP GAS

All gas connections must be made by a qualified technician, specifically trained in the installation of this type of gas appliance. Some states or provinces require this trained personnel be licensed. Installations must be performed in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the regulations governed by that state or province. To ensure satisfactory performance, the gas supply line must be sized to accommodate the total BTU requirements of all the gas-fired equipment that will be connected to that line.

Additionally, each 'T' or elbow that is added to the line can also reduce pressure. This drop in pressure can affect overall heater performance.

• Calculate the total BTU output of all equipment and refer to "Gas Supply Line Runs" for allowable run distances for 3/4 inch pipe. Failure to meet these minimum requirements may reduce performance of the heater and any other appliances running on that supply line.
  • Always keep supply line runs as short as possible.
• A minimum pipe size of 1/2 " is required for inlet piping. The supplied exit coupling of this heater is 1/2 "NPT (female). A 1/2 " lever-handled, manual gas shut-off valve should be installed within 6 feet of the appliance to allow emergency gas shut-off and provide isolation for servicing.
• A gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location by a qualified plumber.
• Keep threading compound off of the first two pipe threads to avoid having any small pieces of compound break loose and clog a burner valve or orifice.
• All gas pipe connections to the heater must be sealed with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing tape. Prior to use, the gas supply line should be checked for leaks by applying a mild solution of soap and water. Never use an open flame to check for leaks. See section titled 'Checking for Gas Leaks' on page 17.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a pressure tap built into the valve system used on the Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater. To access this tap, remove the 2 screws which hold the louvered plate on the END CAP of the heater. Remove this plate and look for the 2 smaller, slotted, brass screws. The uppermost screw is the OUTLET pressure (as seen when the heater is pointed downward). The lower screw is the INLET pressure. To access either inlet for taking measurements, turn the screw until it becomes loose. It will not fall out, as, it is captivated in the valve. Be sure to re-tighten screw after pressure measurements have been taken (see pg 29).

GAS CONNECTION INFORMATION ...continued

A typical gas supply line might consist of 1/2 " piping beginning at the gas supply source. This line will be routed, within the shortest possible distance, up to the vicinity of the heater location (30 Ft. MAX). This line, as previously mentioned, will have a 1/2 " lever- handled gas shut-off valve installed in-line, and within 6-feet of the termination point. After final heater positioning and mounting angle is created, the pipe line is then routed directly to the 1/2 " NPT (female) coupling at the end of the heater. As an alternate to this installation, after the gas line has been routed to the vicinity of the heater, and after final positioning and pivot angle has been determined, a short gas flex line can be installed from the end of the hard pipe to the 1/2 " NPT (female) coupling on the heater. This flex line should be 1/2" I.D. (5/8" O.D.), Stainless Steel, with 1/2 " MIP fittings at both ends. A 1/2 " FIP coupling will then be used to connect the flex line to the hard pipe. The use of this flex line allows for additional angle (pivot) adjustment of the heater after installation has been complete.

GAS LINE PURGING

You should purge the gas line of air before attempting to light the heater.

- Slowly turn on the main gas supply.

- With the gas on, loosen one connection near the heater until you either 'hear' gas or 'smell gas'. Tighten connection immediately. This should purge the remaining air from the lines.

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE HEATER

Initial mounting considerations have been discussed, and now it's time commit your placement theory into motion. Consider the following pieces of information to help you through: The Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater is made from the finest materials available- heavy gauge stainless steel. As a result, this heater is heavy- It weighs around 50 pounds and must be mounted securely. The '100 pound rule' should be followed, whereas, it must be mounted such that the anchors will support at least 100 pounds, or it may be considered a 'suspension hazard'.

FAILURE TO INSTALL THE HEATER IN SUCH A MANNER MAY CAUSE THE HEATER TO FALL, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH. ADDITIONALLY, LOCAL CODES REGARDING HEAD CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE OBSERVED.

Each mounting bracket is provided with (4) mounting holes. A quantity of (8) 5/16 x 1/1-2" Stainless lag bolts have been provided for installation. If mounting into solid wood, for example, an eave joist, then only 2 holes (front to back holes) per bracket need to be used (the inside holes nearest the vertical wall). Otherwise, use all (4) holes per bracket. If mounting into a 'hollow surface', for example, stucco over wallboard and studs, then 5/16" anchors, that are appropriate for the mounting surface, must be used (not provided). The distance between the outermost holes of the mounting brackets, across the heater length, is 48". This distance is intended to accommodate standard roof joist spacing of 24" O.C. The distance between the innermost holes of the mounting brackets is 45-1/2". The short distance between the holes (side to side) on each mounting bracket is 1-1/4". The long distance (front-to-back) is 4-1/2" between the holes. See illustration.

Important Note!

Use only the mounting brackets provided with this heater. Heater must be installed in a horizontal manner parallel with the ground. The heater can, however, be tilted upward to a maximum of 30 degrees. NEVER mount the heater on a vertical axis. Such an installation is considered unsafe and will void all warranties.

EAVE FASCIA MOUNTING

If the heater will be mounted on the fascia of an eave, then the heater shall be mounted with the brackets in the EXTENDED position only. The heater shall be mounted in either the straight down position, or angled upward to a maximum of 30 degrees AWAY from the house. CAUTION: DO NOT MOUNT HEATER FACING TOWARD the house. This position would allow exhaust heat to be directed toward the combustible surfaces. It is important to note that when mounting on a fascia the lower pivot mounting screw (normally located within the curved slot) will NOT be used.

In all mounting configurations, it is critical to NOT exceed a MAXIMUM pivot angle of 30 degrees. When using this mounting configuration, since the lower pivot bolt will not be used, the maximum angle control slot will also not be used.

The maximum 30 degree pivot angle can be determined by sighting the angled surface near the top of the heater. When this surface is parallel with the ground, the heater is at 30 degrees ( See illustration on page 9). When mounting on a fascia, NO PORTION OF THE HEATER SHALL BE CLOSER THAN 12 INCHES FROM THE FASCIA SURFACE.

MOUNTING BRACKET ASSEMBLY

Locate and assemble the mounting brackets based on your pre-determined mounting distance to the ceiling (14" if mounting flat, 18" if mounting at an angle). Slide the long bracket extension INSIDE the main mounting bracket until the intended set of holes align. The entrance slot is at the bottom of the main mounting bracket. For each bracket, use quantity (2) 1/4 - 20 × 1/2" Hex Bolts (provided).

Carefully insert each screw through the 2 larger holes of the main mounting bracket and through the lower holes (for the 14" position), OR through the 2 upper holes (for the 18" position) of the mounting bracket extension. Tighten both nuts securely. Snap the decorative cap over each larger hole of the main mounting bracket. Repeat for other bracket. See illustration.

After assembling the mounting brackets, they can be installed in the pre-selected location. The spacing of the outer-most sets of holes of the mounting brackets is 48". The spacing of the inner-most sets of holes is 45-1/2". See mounting bracket spacing diagram on page 12. These numbers are given to you as a reference for planning. Mount one single mounting bracket first. Choose the side which may be the closest to a combustible material. This way it is easier to measure and determine that the exact minimum clearance is being adhered to. If mounting onto wood predrill pilot holes using 1/4 " drill. (If surface is other than wood, then anchors will be needed - follow instructions that come with the anchors) If the mounting bracket is resting entirely on the wood surface mount using all (4) screws per bracket. It mounting on the edge of a wood joist then use the 2 holes closest to the vertical wall of the bracket. Install the second bracket 48" from outer-most set of holes on the first bracket. THIS WILL CREATE A RESULTING DIMENSION OF EXACTLY 49-3/32" BETWEEN THE EXTENSION ARMS OF THE BRACKET. If not, then re-measure and mark again. Pre-drill and mount the second bracket.

Place the heater into location on the ground directly under the mounting brackets. Using 2 people, and 2 ladders carefully lift the heater into position. Place the heater inside the extension arms of the brackets and secure the heater at both ends, first with (2) 1/4 -20 x 1" hex head bolts. Mount screws in the UPPER holes first. Tilt the heater into the pre-determined angular position (0-30 degrees). Install the second set of 1/4 -20 x 1" hex head bolts through the curved slots directly below the first holes. The maximum 30 degree angle will be achieved when the screw is 'bottomed out' at one end of the curved slot. This angle can also be sited by looking at the angled surface on the back of the heater. When the angled surface is PARALLEL to the ground (or the ceiling) the then heater is at 30 degrees. DO NOT MOUNT THE HEATER MORE THAN 30 DEGREES, as damage can occur to the protective grill. Always use the 2 bolts per side and always use the bottom curved slot for angle positioning (EXCEPTION-eave fascia mounting does not require bottom bolt for mounting).

GAS CONNECTIONS

MAKING THE GAS CONNECTONS

Gas connections will vary depending on heater mounting location selected and the gas type (NG or LP) being used. See also previous section 'Gas Supply and Connections'. Prior to mounting the heater, the gas connections were considered and an overall routing 'plan' was established. A minimum pipe size of 1/2 " is required for inlet piping. The supplied exit coupling of this heater is 1/2 "FIP (female). A 1/2 " leaver- handled manual gas shut-off valve should be installed within 6 feet of the appliance to allow emergency gas shut-off and provide isolation for servicing.

With the exception of flared fittings, all gas pipe connections to the heater must be sealed with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing tape. Prior to use, the gas supply line should be checked for leaks by applying a mild solution of soap and water. Never use an open flame to check for leaks. See section titled 'Checking for Gas Leaks', page 17.

Run the gas line to the vicinity of the heater. It is recommended that the gas line be securely fixed to the wall or mounting surface. WARNING: do not run gas line in a

location that it can be tripped over or in a location that passes by either the heat output or the exhaust of the heater. This gas line can now be attached directly to the heater using a series of elbows and short sections of straight pipe (nipples), sufficient to lead gas piping from the wall to the inlet of the heater. The final fitting will be a 1/2 "NPT male pipe to mount directly into the heater. A 30" Stainless Steel flexible line 1/2 " I.D. (5/8" O.D.) with 1/2 " MIP (male) fittings at both ends. A 1/2 " FIP (female) coupling would then be used to connect the flex line to the hard pipe.

Please note that when gas is hard piped, an external gas-pressure regulator is not required as the heater is equipped with an internal, built-in gas-pressure regulator as part of the gas control valve.

An alternative to the hard pipe installation (NG or LP) is to use a metal flex hose which mounts directly from the main gas source and extends directly into the heater inlet. See illustrations below for installation techniques.

DANGER!

To prevent fire or explosion, DO NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electrical arcing, cell phones, etc.) in the area while performing a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. Never conduct a leak test using fire or open flame.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

The following leak test procedure is to be performed on all newly installed gas pipes, fittings, and connections:

1. Create a soapy solution of 1 part dish soap and 3 parts water.
2. Turn ON the fuel supply.
3. Apply the soap solution by squirt bottle or paint brush on all connections and fittings.
4. If bubbles appear to 'grow' on any of the connections, you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas supply.

FIXING A GAS LEAK

1. At the identified point of leakage, assure that the joint was sealed with gas pipe compound or Teflon sealing tape. If either of these are missing, then the connection must be unassembled and reassembled with proper sealing compound.
2. If the connection has the proper sealing compound, then tighten the fittings further. Re-apply the soap solution and re-test for gas leaks.
3. If gas leak still exists, then it is recommended that the entire section of pipe and fittings around the leak be unassembled. Examine each fitting and assure that all threads are 'true' and that no fittings or pipe have deformation. If so, replace them with new fittings. Once again, apply sealing compound around all joints

and re-assemble the pipes and fittings. If a flexible gas line is being used to connect the heater to the hard piping, and the leak is at that section, then be certain the fitting attached to the heater is the proper 1/2 " MIP fitting, and the fitting at the other end is also a 1/2 " MIP fitting used with a 1/2 " coupling to join to the 1/2 " pipe. Very often, a flex hose such as this is created with removable fittings at the ends to create the 1/2 " MIP thread. These removable fittings themselves use a flare thread, and not a pipe thread.

1. NEVER USE SEALING COMPOUND OR TEFLON TAPE ON FLARED FITTINGS.
2. Reapply soap solution on all fittings and repeat as necessary until all leaks have been sealed.
3. If a leak appears at an LP cylinder valve, DO NOT ATTEMPT to repair it. Shut off the gas immediately. The only way to safely resolve a damaged cylinder is to replace it.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

If the AC adaptor is NOT being used, and it is intended to run the heater from battery power only, then NO special electrical connections are needed. Note that this may require more frequent battery replacements. The AC/DC output plug, at the right end of the heater, is covered with the rubber plug that is mounted under the jack.

If the AC adaptor IS being used, the battery function becomes secondary and an approved, GFI protected, grounded, 110V AC, OUTDOOR outlet box and electrical receptacle must be installed within 24 in. of the AC/DC output plug. This outlet must be installed by a qualified electrician and must be sheltered from rain, snow, and ice.

Plug the transformer directly into the GFI protected outlet. Plug the jack, into the corresponding jack receptacle of the heater. Secure any loose or dangling wires with tape, wire ties, or insulated wire staples.

For an alternate to this connection, run an outdoor rated extension cord from the closest GFI protected 110 V grounded outlet to the heater. This cord and connection must be sheltered from the rain and must not be in direct line with either the heat output of the heater OR the exhaust gasses exiting the top of the heater. It is recommended that this cord be secured to the wall ( or similar structure) with either tape, wire ties or insulated wire staples. This installation is considered a TEMPORARY installation.

WIRELESS WALL SWITCH

Select a location for this switch, but do not mount it at this time. Select a location that is out of reach of children, and is just LOW enough to be reached by an adult. It is recommended that the wall switch be mounted near the heater (within 10 ft) so the heater can both be SEEN and HEARD during operation of the wall switch. This wall switch mounts on a flat surface with the mounting screws provided. Double sided tape (not provided) will also work for this step.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Wireless Wall Switch-This unit uses (2) pre-installed 3V Lithium Batteries CR2032. If batteries were not previously installed, remove the cover by inserting a small screw driver into one of the slots on the side. Twist the screw driver slightly to snap open the cover from the body. (do not attempt to remove the small screws at the bottom). Insert the provided lithium batteries (Positive (+) side up), making sure the edge of the battery is inserted UNDER the small battery retaining clip. If the wall switch will be mounted with the provided screws, then mount into position (while the cover is still off) at this time. After mounted, snap the cover back onto the wall switch body. See pictures below.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS...continued

Touch Screen Remote Transmitter-remove the cover on the back of the remote control unit and install (4) AAA 1.5 V batteries. Take special note of the (+) and (-) terminals.

Heater- remove the (2) screws holding the louvered end plate at the far, right end of the heater. This is the SMALLER of the 2 access plates. The battery pack will be mounted directly inside, on the endplate. Using a small Philips head screwdriver remove the screw and slide off the battery box cover. Replace or insert (4) AA 1.5 V batteries with attention of the (+) and (-) terminals. Reinstall the battery box cover

and secure it in place with the Philips head screw. Leave the louvered end plate off and let it hang straight down for the next programming operation. See pictures below.

PROGRAMMING YOUR REMOTE

INITIALIZING THE REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

On the wireless wall switch press the "OFF" button. Confirm that the red LED flashes. The LED will flash every time that any of the 4 buttons are pushed. This confirms that the unit is functioning, and that the button selection has been confirmed.

Press the 'ON' button on the wall switch to confirm. You will hear 'clicking' coming from the heater. Press the 'OFF' button immediately and proceed to the next section 'BASIC OPERATION OF YOUR HEATER' page 20. The receiver is located inside the valve compartment and is accessible through the louvered plate on the right END CAP of the heater. If this plate is still off from the battery installation, then proceed to the next paragraph. Otherwise, remove the 2 screws holding the end plate in position, and rotate the plate, from the bottom, until the plate is free from the heater. Allow the plate to hang below the heater (it is connected to the battery wires).

Look inside the compartment and locate the black vinyl cover cap on the side of the module enclosure. Peel the cap off with your finger nail or screw driver. Look inside the box and notice the small button on the side of the receiver. This is the LEARN button. See the illustration below. With the wall switch in one hand, and a paper clip or the tip of a writing pen in the other hand, press and release the 'LEARN' button of the receiver. You will hear one beep. Now press the 'ON' button on the wall switch. Once the code is accepted, you will hear four beeps in rapid succession. You should now hear the pilot sparking rapidly. This indicates that your programming was successful. If the pilot did not begin to spark, then repeat the above process. After programming, press the 'OFF' button to turn the system off.

NOTE: The wireless wall switch can now be mounted (if not previously mounted), on a flat surface, at your desired location. Use the screws provided with the switch or double sided tape for mounting (not provided).

PROGRAMMING YOUR REMOTE...continued

Once the wireless wall switch has been successfully programmed, repeat the process with the touch screen remote control. Once again, press the LEARN button on the receiver. Release the LEARN button. You will now hear a single beep. NOTE: If programming more than one unit, press and release the LEARN button on all units before turning the remote ON. Now push the lower center MODE SET button on the transmitter until the word 'ON' is displayed in the upper left hand corner. Once the code is accepted, you will hear four beeps in rapid succession. You should also hear the pilot sparking rapidly. This confirms that the signal has been received, and your programming was successful. Press the mode button until 'OFF' is displayed at the top right side of the screen. Reconfirm proper functioning by turning the transmitter back to 'ON' and listening for rapid sparking of the pilot. Once confirmed, press the mode set button until 'OFF' appears, to shut the system off.

Replace the plastic cap over the LEARN BUTTON access hole. Replace the louvered end plate over the open end of the heater and tighten the two screws. Take care not to pinch wires when re-attaching the end plate.

Refer to the section 'TOUCH SCREEN REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION' Page 21, to learn more about the remote operations that are possible with your Lynx Heater.

Your new Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater has been designed with cutting edge technology and easily operates with either the manual ON-OFF-HI-LOW wall switch or with the use of a touch screen remote control. Please study the section of this manual entitled 'Remote Control Operation' to allow a full understanding of the heater's capabilities.

IMPORTANT NOTE

When the heater is being lit for the first time after installation, or after hooking up a gas line for the first time, the gas lines will need to purge themselves of the air to fill with gas. Depending on the length of gas lines, this may take a few minutes or more. The spark ignition system is designed to spark for 1 minute, and then time out. This is part of the ignition safety system.

MANUAL OPERATION

1. TURN THE GAS ON. If this is a Natural Gas (NG) installation, turn the manual shut-off valve lever 1/4 turn so that the lever is parallel and in-line with the gas line. If this is a Liquid Propane (LP) installation, open the gas cylinder valve by a minimum of one full turn, and if connected to a quick disconnect hose, turn the in-line valve lever by 1/4 turn so that the lever is parallel and in-line with the gas line.

2. At the wall switch, push the 'ON' button, and listen for the pilot to spark rapidly. After the pilot sparks, you will hear the small pilot flame ignite. Shortly after that, you will hear the main burner of the heater ignite. When using the wall switch, the heater will light on 'HIGH' regardless of the previous setting when it was turned off. Allow the heater to warm up for a few seconds, and then press the 'LO' button to adjust the heat downward. Each press of the button will lower or raise the heat level by one increment. If you hold the 'HI' button continuously, the heat level will advance more rapidly. Likewise, when you press the 'LO' button, the heat will become lower by one increment, and by pressing the 'LO' button continuously, the heat level will decrease more rapidly. Push the "OFF" button when finished using the heater.

If this occurs, simply turn the wall switch to OFF, and then turn back to ON. The spark will return to its normal function. Repeat this operation until the pilot lights. Once the pilot lights, the heater will light within seconds.

PROGRAMMING YOUR REMOTE...continued

When the heater is operated for the first time, there may be a certain level of smoke exiting the heater exhaust vents. This may last for up to 15 minutes. This is NORMAL. This is a result of the manufacturing oils, cleaning oils, and anti-seize lubricants, burning away under high temperature for the first time. After this 'break-in' period, your heater should function normally, emitting no additional smoke.

Before attempting to operate your remote, you must be sure that the remote control has been 'initialized' or paired with the receiver. Please see the section of this manual titled 'Initializing the Remote Control System' Page 19.

CHANGING FROM FAHRENHEIT TO CELSIUS

When the remote control is OFF, the current air temperature is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the display window. This temperature will read in degrees Fahrenheit (F) or degrees Celsius (C). To alternate and change between degrees (F) and degrees (C), with the remote in the OFF position, simply press the DOWN arrow key and the UP arrow key at the same time briefly. Use a short click and do not hold the buttons down continuously. Please refer to the diagram 'Touch Screen Remote Control Layout' Page 22, for reference

TOUCH SCREEN REMOTE CONTROL...continued

AIR TEMPERATURE LIMIT FUNCTION

When using the heater with the remote control transmitter, always keep the remote transmitter by your side, i.e., at the same place that you are sitting. This will assure that the temperature and thermostat function will always be reading the same temperature that you are experiencing. Do not leave the remote transmitter outside or exposed to the elements when not in use. Do not leave the transmitter facing the sun, or in a place that allows the transmitter to measure the temperature of the sun. This could falsely raise the 'air' temperature that the transmitter is reading. Once the 'room'/air temperature reaches 95F degrees, the system will automatically shut the heater off. When the heater is turned on in either the MANUAL ON or THERMOSTAT ON mode, once the air temperature becomes 95 degrees, the heater will cycle automatically to the MANUAL OFF mode. If the user turns the control back ON, and the air temperature is still 95F degrees or greater, the transmitter will switch back to MANUAL OFF.

THERMOSTAT DISABLE FEATURE

If, after using your heater, you decide that you do not want to use the THERMOSTAT function, you can disable this function on the remote transmitter. When the THERMOSTAT mode is disabled:

• The Modes of operation will cycle between MANUAL ON and MANUAL OFF (omitting THERMO).
• Program Operation (described below) is also disabled.
  • The SET TEMP zone will be blank.
• The air temperature will still be measured & displayed in the ROOM/AIR TEMP Zone.
• The TIME/PROG zone will continue to display the Clock and Day of week, but none of the icons associated with Program Mode will be displayed.
• To disable or re-enable the Thermostat, the transmitter must be in MANUAL OFF Mode, then press and hold the SETTEMP Zone and the DOWN Button simultaneously for 10-seconds. The entire contents of the LCD screen will flash 3-times (0.5-seconds OFF, 0.5-seconds ON) to indicate the change has been made.

FEATURES

CONTINUOUS PILOT FEATURE:

In some cases such as locations where severely cold weather or fog persists, it may be an advantage for you to set your heater so the small pilot flame stays continuously ON. This keeps the pilot area warm and allows immediate start-up of your heater.

• To activate or deactivate the Continuous Pilot Feature, with the transmitter either ON or OFF, press and hold the MODE/SET and UP Buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. This can also be switched on the internal module.
• LCD Display: When activated, CONT. PILOT will be displayed in the MODE Zone.
  • Take note that when heater is turned off (MANUAL OFF or THERMOSTAT OFF) the pilot flame remains on.

CHILD SAFETY LOCK FEATURE:

The Child Safety Lock Feature allows you to lock the buttons and the touch screen of the remote control transmitter to avoid unsupervised (or accidental) operation of your heater system.

• Child-Lock operation prevents any user input to the transmitter. No mode of operation or feature may be adjusted when Child-Lock is activated. All automatic functions (thermostat, program, etc.) will continue normally.
• To activate or deactivate the Child-Lock feature, press and hold the MODE/SET and DOWN Buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. The system is now locked.

- LCD Display: When activated, the LOCK icon will appear in the MODE Zone. If any touch-zone or button is pressed when activated, the LCD backlight will illuminate and the LOCK icon will flash for 5 seconds in the MODE Zone.

COMMUNICATION SAFETY FEATURE:

- In manual ON, THERMOSTAT ON, AND PROGRAM modes of operation, the transmitter will automatically send a communication safety transmission every 15 minutes. This signal is further processed by the ignition control module to verify the transmitter is communicating properly.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR:

The remote control transmitter has a built-in 'low-battery' detection mode to signal you when the transmitter becomes low on battery power. When the batteries become low, a battery icon will appear in the touch screen window immediately to the right of the word 'ROOM' on the air temperature window.

The life span of the transmitter batteries will vary depending on the quality of the batteries, the number of ON/OFF ignitions of the heater, and the number of changes in air temperature vs. set point temperature.

MAINTENANCE

REPLACING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER

Remove the back cover on the remote control transmitter and lift out the 4 AAA batteries. Replace with 4 high quality 1.5V AAA batteries. Take special note to the polarity of the battery placement by observing the (+) and (-) markings in the compartment.

REPLACING BATTERIES IN THE HEATER:

Remove the (2) screws holding the louvered end plate at the far right end of the heater. This is the SMALLER of the 2 access plates. The battery pack is mounted directly inside on the endplate. remove the (2) screws holding the louvered end plate at the end of the heater. The battery pack is mounted directly inside on the end plate. Using a small Philips head screwdriver remove the screw and slide off the battery box cover. Replace or insert (4) AA 1.5 V batteries with attention of the (+) and (-) terminals. Reinstall the battery box cover and secure it in place with the Philips head screw. Reinstall the louvered end plate with the 2 screws and use caution not to pinch the battery wires. See page 18 for complete description and illustrations.

PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT :

The pilot flame in your heater has been factory preset for normal, environmental conditions. However, there may be a specific need to adjust the pilot flame to a higher level such as windy conditions. The pilot flame can be adjusted by following these steps:

Remove the (2) screws which hold the small louvered end plate in position as above to change the batteries.

In the illustration you will see the side of the valve which contains 3 brass screws. There are 2 smaller screws, and one larger screw toward the center. The larger screw is the pilot adjustment screw. It is marked "PILOT". Turn the screw CLOCKWISE (to the right) to DESCREASE the pilot flame, turn the screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE (to the left) to INCREASE the pilot flame. Assure that the valvewiresarestillinplace, and replace cover plate after pilot has been adjusted.

PILOT IGNITER DOES NOT SPARK

Press the 'ON' button on the wireless wall switch. Verify the LED flashes RED when the button is pushed. If you hear a spark coming from the pilot, the problem may be the touch screen remote control. Replace the batteries. If the pilot still does not spark, replace the batteries in the heater. See section 'Replacing the Batteries'.

If an AC power adaptor is being used, then check the cord connection to the heater.

PILOT IGNITER SPARKS, BUT THE PILOT BURNER DOES NOT IGNITE.

New installations may take time for the system to 'purge' the air in the gas line. If the igniter sparks for 1 minute without ignition the system will enter a 'safety lockout' mode. Press the 'OFF' button and then press the 'ON' button on the wireless wall switch. The system will then reset. Try 3 additional times and attempt to light heater. If still no results, Check that the ON-OFF valve in gas line is turned on. If still no results, then the gas line must be 'purged'. With the gas on, loosen one connection near the heater until you either 'hear' gas or 'smell gas'. Tighten connection immediately. This should purge the remaining air from the lines. If the burner will still not light check the orifice for insects or blockage.

PILOT IGNITER SPARKS, BUT THE PILOT BURNER DOES NOT IGNITE. REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTION.

The remote control system functions, such that, if when using the 'thermostat' on the remote, the air/room temperature (shown in the upper right hand side of the remote display) works in conjunction with the thermostat 'SET' temperature (shown in the upper left hand side of the display) to modulate the function of the heater. If the thermostat 'SET' temperature is set LOWER than the current air temperature, the heater will not come on or light. Press the "UP" arrow to bring the thermostat temperature HIGHER than the air temperature. See 'Touch Screen Remote Control Operation'. If the burner will still not light check the orifice and venturi for insects or blockage.

HEATER WILL LIGHT, BUT PILOT AND BURNER CYCLE ON AND OFF. REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTION

If using the 'thermostat' on the remote, the 'SET' temperature is set too close to the air/ room temperature. The heater is functioning to maintain the exact temperature set. Try setting the 'SET' temperature higher (more then 2 degrees) than the air/room temperature. You can also use the 'MANUAL ON' mode on the remote control and manually set the heat level higher (levels 1-7) See 'Touch Screen Remote Control Operation'.

HEATER WILL LIGHT, BUT PILOT AND BURNER CYCLE ON AND OFF DURING MANUAL OPERATION.

The outside conditions are too windy for proper heater functioning. Check installation and verify that heater is basically located away from direct wind source. This heater has been tested to accommodate wind gusts of up to 15-20 MPH. During high wind conditions, turn heater off. If needed, adjust pilot flame to a higher level. See section marked 'Pilot Flame Adjustment' (pg. 29).

REMOTE CONTROL SHOWS AIR TEMPERATURE READOUT, BUT WILL NOT TURN ON.

Remote control batteries are low. Check for the 'Low Battery' icon in the readout of the remote control. Replace batteries in remote using 4 ea. AAA. See section 'Touch Screen Remote Control Operator' and 'Replacing Batteries'.

REMOTE CONTROL SHOWS FULL DISPLAY, BUT WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE PILOT IGNITION.

First, check to see if the 'Low Battery' icon is in the readout of the remote control. If yes, then replace the batteries with 4 ea. AAA. See section 'Remote Control Operation'. If this icon is not lit, press the 'ON' button of the remote. Listen for a faint 'beep' coming from heater. If this faint 'beep' is heard, then the electronic system is operating properly. If this 'beep' is not heard, then the batteries in the heater are low. Replace these batteries with 4 AAA and follow instructions in section marked 'Replacing Batteries in the Heater'. If there is still no 'beep' heard, then the remote/ transmitter and receiver communication have not been 'initialized'. See section titled 'Initializing the Remote Control System' (pg. 20).

AFTER HEAVY RAIN OR FOG HEATER FAILS TO LIGHT: REMOTE CONTROL AND RECEIVER APPEAR TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY. PILOT IS SPARKING.

This heater has been tested to withstand a significant amount of rain. However, if the heater has reached a point of 'saturation', then either the pilot burner, the main burner, or both, have become wet. If the pilot igniter sparks, but the pilot will not light, or the spark is weak, then the pilot is wet. The pilot can be manually lit with a long match or lighter. First remove the pilot cover by removing the 4 small cover screws. Slightly loosen the inside screw which holds the pivot cover. Rotate cover to expose lighting hole. Turn the remote to 'ON'. Apply a flame directly over the pilot head. If the pilot does not light after 15 seconds, then turn power off for 5 minutes and then try again. Once the pilot flame is lit, the main burner should light shortly after. Once the burner lights, if it is also wet, then it will burn unevenly until it burns itself dry. This is normal. If the pilot lights, but the burner will not light, then the burner simply needs some time to dry naturally. If this is the case, then the installation and placement of the heater should be reconsidered. If this is an ongoing problems due to location, placing the unit in a continuous Pilot mode is recommended.

AFTER HEAVY RAIN OR FOG HEATER FAILS TO LIGHT. REMOTE CONTROL AND RECEIVER APPEAR TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY. PILOT IS NOT SPARKING. TOUCH SCREEN REMOTE CONTROL RECOVERY METHOD.

This heater has been tested to withstand a significant amount of rain. However, if the heater has reached a point of 'saturation', then either the pilot burner, the main burner, or both, have become wet. The heater can be manually lit by following the instructions in the previous block. There is also a remote control function that may also expedite the recovery process. This function overrides the flame sensor in the pilot mechanism and allows the pilot to spark. No gas, will be released, so only sparking will occur. This sparking function will help to 'dry out' the pilot. To activate this override function, place the touch screen remote control in MANUAL OFF mode. Press and hold the FLAME ZONE on the touch screen and the UP button simultaneously. The pilot will begin and continue sparking until the buttons are released. The remote will return to MANUAL OFF. Turn the remote to MANUAL ON and see if the pilot will spark on its own. If not, repeat process until the pilot functions normally.

With almost 1/3^rd of the American population living at high altitudes, you may have special needs and considerations for their gas fired appliances. The air up there is thinner having less 0² and lower atmospheric pressure, so heating and cooking are going to present specific challenges. To compensate for variables, such as thinner air and lower atmospheric pressure, appliances must be adjusted to operate at high altitudes. Generally speaking input ratings used for elevations up to 2,000 ft (600m) must be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (300m) above sea level*

In order to keep Lynx LHEM heaters operating under peak performance conditions high altitude orifices can be ordered from the factory and be converted in the field using the proper orifice conversions.
