THANK YOU!! Thank you very much for selecting Fostoria’s overhead electric infrared heating equipment for your comfort heating needs. These products were engineered with the most reliable components and materials available and are equipped with features to assure ease of installation and maintenance. The warmth you will now enjoy when using this heating equipment is created by a heat source; a metal-sheathed element; that emits infrared energy in the form of heat, like the sun. This is an economical way to heat because it heats people and objects, not the air, so you don’t need to heat a large area to feel warm. Thank you again! ! !

INSTALLATION PLANNING Fostoria’s metal-sheath infrared heaters are equipped with heating elements that are manufactured using materials with exceptional mechanical and thermal performance and are built with precise process control to provide rugged and reliable infrared performance in challenging environments. It is our understanding that these precision characteristics can change with time, specifically in environments with high humidity or where mechanical damage can occur, causing the internal electrical insulation to weaken. Use of Fostoria’s GF-SK-1 ground fault sensing switch will monitor this gradual change and interrupt power to the heaters prior to any arc-fault type failures, thereby protecting against a possible fire or burn hazard. CAUTION: METAL SHEATH TYPE RADIANT HEATER. CONNECT ONLY TO A CIRCUIT PROTECTED BY A SUITABLE GROUND FAULT. PROTECTION.

INSTALLATION PLANNING (cont.)
Options for using the GF-SK-1 with Fostoria MR-Series heaters:
The GF-SK-1 can monitor a single heater as denoted above but the most cost effective arrangement of the system is realized when monitoring a circuit of multiple heaters. The total number of heaters that can be monitored by one GF-SK-1 is dependant upon the heater models selected and the supply voltage. Using the total watts of the selected heaters to be monitored, the known supply voltage (be certain the heater voltage rating matches the supply voltage), and the phase of the supply, the total load or “amps” can be calculated. The GF-SK-1 is capable of monitoring a heater circuit of up to 50 amps maximum. A licensed electrician or design engineer must do the necessary calculations.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD •
Serious injury or death may occur.
•
Disconnect heater and lock out from electrical supply before installing or servicing.
•
Always securely connect green wire on heater to bonding (green) wire from electrical supply.
Wiring of MR-2 and MR-4 Series Heaters: 1. Remove the cover from the terminal box (see Illustration on page 11). 2. Install a 6 inch long (min.) conduit nipple into the hole in the side of the terminal box. 3. Attach a splice box to the nipple. 4. Route the lead wires in the terminal box through the conduit and into the splice box. 5. Connect the lead wires to the 12 AWG, 90°C rated supply wiring routed into the splice box with wire nuts or other safe mechanical means. Black and white supply leads can be connected to either element lead wire. Be sure green lead from supply and green (bonding) lead from the terminal box are connected.
For All Heaters Wiring procedures and connections shall be in accordance with the national and local authority having jurisdiction. The MR-series heaters do not have any onboard controls and therefore must be used in conjunction with the applicable Fostoria FPC-series control center or be wired to a listed, properly rated safety switch for on/off control. Always disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or disconnect switch before installing electric power to the heater. If the breaker or disconnect switch cannot be seen from where you will be working, lock it in the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power. Failure to do so could result in fatal electric shock. Do not depend on a thermostat or other switch as the sole means of turning off power to the heater. When bringing supply wiring to the heater always route it away from the area directly above the heater and away from the sides of the heater where temperatures may be dangerously high. “Bonding” is the intentional electrical connection of all non-current carrying metal parts to the equipment grounding (green) conductor of the heater and then terminating this green conductor to the green conductor of the power supply to form a low-impedance path back to the power supply so that safety devices (circuit breakers, fuses) can quickly remove dangerous touch voltage from these parts when a fault occurs. Always securely connect the green conductor from the power supply to the green conductor of the heater.
6. Reinstall the terminal box and splice box covers. 7. Connect supply wires to a suitable electrical circuit.

OPERATION
BURN HAZARD •
Serious injury or death may occur.
•
Allow heater to fully cool after power is removed (may take minutes) before touching or working on it.
If any metal-sheath element has an obvious “bowing” or sagging condition during operation, an over-voltage / overtemperature condition may exist. Deenergize the heater immediately and allow to fully cool. Replace all elements that have been distorted in any way.
When power is provided to these heaters the heater elements will take several minutes to achieve full infrared output that can be confirmed by an orange to dull red glow on the element sheath. The element sheath under this condition is operating between 1,500 and 1,600° F emitting medium wavelength (approx. 3 microns or millionths of a meter) infrared energy. This energy, that can also be considered “radiation” is not harmful, yet is very effective at heating objects and surfaces that are within the line-of-sight of the elements and the heater’s reflective surfaces. When power is provided or removed from these heaters, you may hear unfamiliar sounds that are caused by the expansion and contraction of metal components in the heater. This is normal. If power control at the heater is desired, a disconnect switch kit (DC-SK-1) is available. See the “additional equipment” section of this manual for more details.
Ground-Fault Monitoring and Operation: As explained in the “installation planning” section of this manual, all MR SERIES applications using metal-sheath heaters will require the use of the GF-SK-1 ground-fault sensor switch or equal protection. Refer to the instructions provided with this switch for proper installation.
FIRE HAZARD BURN HAZARD
If, during heater operation, the GF-SK-1 “trips” and interrupts power to your heater or heater circuit, then one or more of the metal-sheath elements in the heater or heater circuit being monitored has a reduced insulation resistance value that may be due to an element that is about to fail. Have a licensed electrician follow the warnings and instructions in the “operation” section of the GF-SK-1 manual.

LIMITED WARRANTY Products manufactured by TPI Corporation are warranted to the original consumer to be free from defects in material and workmanship for twelve (12) months from the original purchase date. The TPI limited warranty does not cover products that have been modified outside of our factory, damage or failure caused by acts of God, abuse, misuse, connected to or placed on other than rated voltage, abnormal usage, fault, installation, failure to follow suggested maintenance procedures enclosed with the product, improper maintenance or any repairs other than those provided by an authorized TPI service center. There are no obligations or liabilities on the part of the Corporation for consequential damages arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of the product or other indirect damages with respect to loss of property, revenues, profit, costs of removal installation, or reinstallation. All implied warranties with respect to TPI products, including implied warranties for merchantability and implied warranties for fitness, are limited in duration to twelve (12) months from original date of purchase, except those products or parts of products which are warranted for long periods thereon. Some states do not allow the exclusions or limitation of incidental or consequential damages and some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts. The above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you. During the warranty period, TPI Corporation will, at its sole option, repair or replace any defective parts or products returned, freight prepaid, to the TPI Corporation factory or such other locations as TPI Corporation may designate. Returned products must be packaged carefully and TPI Corporation shall not be responsible for damage in transit. When returning parts, the owner must provide the model number of the product and nature of difficulty being experienced. This warranty does not obligate TPI Corporation to bear the cost of labor in replacing any assembly, unit or component part thereof, nor does the company assume any liability for secondary charges, expenses for installing or removal, freight or damages. There will be charges rendered for product repairs made after the warranty period has expired. Proof of purchase, including date, must accompany request for in-warranty service. In any event, TPI Corporation’s maximum liability shall not in any case exceed the list price for the product claimed to be defective. This warranty gives to you specific legal rights and you may have other rights, which may vary from state to state.
