SECTION 1: HEATER SAFETY  
SECTION 1: HEATER SAFETY  
Your Safety is Important to Us!  
This symbol is used throughout  
the manual to notify you of  
possible fire, electrical or burn  
hazards. Please pay special  
attention when reading and  
following the warnings in these  
sections.  
Installation, service and annual inspection of heater  
must be done by a contractor qualified in the  
installation and service of gas-fired heating  
equipment.  
Read this manual carefully before installation,  
operation or service of this equipment.  
This heater is designed for heating nonresidential  
indoor spaces. Do not install in residential spaces.  
These instructions, the layout drawing, local codes  
and ordinances, and applicable standards that apply  
to gas piping, electrical wiring, venting, etc. must be  
thoroughly understood before proceeding with the  
installation.  
Thin sheet metal parts, the aluminum reflector  
portion of the heater and the various venting  
components, have sharp edges. To prevent injury,  
the use of work gloves is recommended. The use of  
gloves will also prevent the transfer of body oils from  
the hands to the surface of the reflector.  
Before installation, check that the local distribution  
conditions, nature of gas and pressure, and  
adjustment of the appliance are compatible.  
1.1 Manpower Requirements  
To prevent personal injury and damage to the heater,  
two persons will be required for installation.

CRV-SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL  
SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY  
The installer is responsible for the following:  
Service Manual. See Page 4, Figure 1 through Page  
6, Figure 9. Write the proper clearance dimensions in  
permanent ink according to your model number and  
configuration in the open spaces on the tag.  
To ensure the system is designed in accordance  
with the parameters of the CRV-Series Design  
Manual (P/N 127500NA).  
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals  
To install the heater, as well as the gas and  
electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable  
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon  
recommends the installer contact a local Building  
Inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.  
CAUTION  
Do not use heater in an area containing corrosive  
chemicals.  
To use the information given in a layout drawing  
and in the manual together with the cited codes  
and regulations to perform the installation.  
Avoid the use of corrosive chemicals to ensure a  
longer life of the burner, tubing and other parts.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in  
property damage.  
To install the heater in accordance with the  
clearances to combustibles requirements.  
Roberts-Gordon cannot be responsible for ensuring  
that all appropriate safety measures are undertaken  
prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility of  
the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the  
sub-contractor, or the owner identifies the presence  
of combustible materials, corrosive chemicals or  
halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere in the  
premises.  
To furnish all needed materials not furnished as  
standard equipment.  
To plan location of supports.  
To provide access to burners on all sides for  
servicing or burner removal.  
To provide the owner with a copy of this  
Installation, Operation and Service Manual.  
To never use heater as a support for ladder or  
other access equipment and to never hang or  
suspend anything from heater.  
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical  
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements  
(fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are  
frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If  
these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the life span  
of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An outside air  
supply must be provided to the burners whenever the presence  
of these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be invalid if the  
heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.  
To ensure there is adequate air circulation around  
the heater and to supply air for combustion,  
ventilation and distribution in accordance with  
local codes.  
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes  
To safely and adequately install heater using  
materials with a minimal working load of 75 lb  
(33 kg).  
All appliances must be installed in accordance with  
the latest revision of the applicable standards and  
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas  
and venting installation. Note: Additional standards  
for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars,  
etc. may be applicable.  
2.1 Wall Tag  
A laminated wall tag is available for the heater as a  
permanent reminder of the safety instructions and  
the importance of the required clearances to  
combustibles. Please contact Roberts-Gordon or  
your ROBERTS GORDON® independent distributor  
to obtain the wall tag. Affix the tag by peeling off the  
backing of the adhesive strips on the rear surface  
and position the tag on a wall near the CRV-Series  
heater (e.g. thermostat or controller).  
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91037912) is illustrated on  
the back cover. For an immediate solution, you may  
affix this copy on the wall near the heater.  
Know your model number and installed configuration.  
Model number and installed configuration are found  
on the burner and in the Installation, Operation and

SECTION 3: CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS  
SECTION 3: CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS  
3.1 Required Clearances to Combustibles  
WARNING  
Clearances are the required distances that  
combustible objects must be away from the heater to  
prevent serious fire hazards. Combustibles are  
materials that may catch fire and include common  
items such as wood, paper, rubber, fabric, etc.  
Maintain clearances to combustibles at all times  
for safety.  
Clearances for all heater models are located on the  
burner of the heater and on Page 4, Figure 1 through  
Page 6, Figure 9 in this manual. Check the  
clearances on each burner for the model heater  
being installed to make sure the product is suitable  
for your application and the clearances are  
maintained. Read and follow the safety guidelines  
below:  
Fire Hazard  
Some objects will catch fire or explode when placed  
close to heater.  
Keep all flammable objects, liquids and vapors the  
required clearances to combustibles away from heater.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,  
injury or property damage.  
• Keep gasoline or other combustible materials  
including flammable objects, liquids, dust or  
vapors away from this heater or any other  
appliance.  
• Maintain clearances from heat sensitive material,  
equipment and workstations.  
• Maintain clearances from vehicles parked below  
the heater.  
• Maintain clearances from swinging and overhead  
doors, overhead cranes, vehicle lifts, partitions,  
storage racks, hoists, building construction, etc.  
• In locations used for the storage of combustible  
materials, signs must be posted to specify the  
maximum permissible stacking height to maintain  
required clearances from the heater to the  
combustibles. Signs must be posted adjacent to  
the heater thermostat. In the absence of a  
thermostat, signs must be posted in a  
conspicuous location.  
• Consult local Fire Marshal, Fire Insurance Carrier  
or other authorities for approval of proposed  
installation when there is a possibility of exposure  
to combustible airborne materials or vapors.  
• Hang heater in accordance to the minimum  
suspension requirements on Page 15, Figure 12.  
• If the radiant tubes must pass through the building  
structure, be sure that adequate sleeving and fire  
stop is installed to prevent scorching and/or fire  
hazard.

SECTION 7: HEATER INSTALLATION  
SECTION 7: HEATER INSTALLATION  
Do not locate the gas or electric supply lines directly  
over the path of the flue products from the heater.  
The heater must be installed in a location that is  
readily accessible for servicing.  
The heaters must be installed in accordance with  
clearances to combustibles as indicated on the rating  
plate and in this instruction manual.  
The minimum and maximum gas inlet pressures  
must be maintained as indicated on the rating plate.  
Typical installation configurations are shown in  
Figure 12.  
Expansion and contraction of the tube dictates that  
the minimum suspension lengths in the table on  
Figure 12 be maintained.  
WARNING  
Suspension Hazard  
Hang heater with materials with a  
minimum working load of 75 lbs  
(33 kg).  
Failure of the supports can result  
in death, injury or property damage.  
To ensure your safety and comply with the terms of  
the warranty, all units must be installed in  
accordance with these instructions.  
The gas or the electrical supply lines must not be  
used to support the heater.

SECTION 7: HEATER INSTALLATION  
Step 7.4.3 Reflector, U-Clip and Reflector Support Installation  
The pictorial drawings of the heater construction in  
Section 7 are schematic only and provide a general  
guideline of where hangers, reflector supports and  
U-clips are to be installed.  
To ensure proper expansion and contraction  
movement of the reflectors, a combination of U-clips  
and reflector supports are used. The positioning of  
reflector supports and U-clips depend on the  
individual installation. Use either pop rivets or sheet  
metal screws instead of u-clips when installing end  
caps and joint pieces in areas where impact and high  
wind may be a factor. The following rules must be  
observed.  
1. The first reflector after the burner must be affixed in  
the middle of the reflector with a reflector support and  
tight screws.

SECTION 10: OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY  
SECTION 10: OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY  
The CRV-Series system is approved for use with an  
outside air system. Halogenated hydrocarbons or  
blower motor has a pressure switch interlock that  
must be used. Wire this switch in series with the  
other corrosive chemicals in the air can be drawn into pump pressure switch. When using an outside air  
blower with a ROBERTS GORDON® System Control  
or ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVACcontrol or  
relay transformer, a separate load relay package is  
required. Wire the control for the relay in parallel with  
the pump. The outside air blower must have a  
separate 20A, 120V power supply. See Page 38,  
Figure 21 for outside air blower internal wiring  
requirements.  
the equipment and seriously damage the system  
components. Avoid the use of such chemical  
compounds near the air inlet to the heaters.  
IMPORTANT: If the building has a slight negative  
pressure or contaminants are present in the air, an  
outside combustion air supply to the heaters is  
strongly recommended.  
All joints and seams in the air supply system must be  
airtight. Attach the filter housing to the burner  
assembly using the wing nut provided.  
10.2 Non-Pressurized  
For a non-pressurized outside air supply, a 4" (O.D.)  
single wall pipe duct may be attached to the burner  
and end vent. For length and duct sizing  
requirements, see duct design rules in Figure 19. To  
prevent condensation, insulate the outside air duct.  
10.1 Pressurized  
See Page 39, Figure 23 for a typical layout of a  
pressurized air supply system.  
For pressurized outside air supplies, the outside air  
FIGURE 19: Duct Sizing  
Outside Air System Design Requirements:  
Blower Performance (90707501):  
112 Flow Units  
One outside air blower is required per each EP-100 or  
EP-200 series pump and two outside air blowers may  
be required for each EP-300 series pump. Outside air  
blowers cannot be shared between two separate CRV-  
Series systems.  
Duct Design Rules:  
- System should be designed so that the blower is  
positioned closest to the highest flow  
requirements (end vents).  
- When a duct is carrying more than 40 flow units, it  
must be at least 6" (15 cm) diameter.  
Pressurized Systems  
- 6" (15 cm) diameter duct must not exceed 120'  
(36 m) total per system.  
- 4" (10 cm) diameter duct must not exceed 120'  
(36 m) per radiant branch.  
Non Pressurized  
- 6" (15 cm) diameter duct must not exceed 90'  
(27 m) maximum 100 flow units  
- 4" (10 cm) diameter duct must not exceed 90'  
(27 m)  
- Elbows are equivalent to 10' (3 m) of duct length.

SECTION 11:GAS PIPING  
SECTION 11: GAS PIPING  
There is an expansion of the tube with each firing  
cycle. This will cause the burner to move with respect  
to the gas hose. This can cause a gas leak resulting  
in an unsafe condition if the gas connection is not  
made in strict accordance with Figure 25.  
WARNING  
Meter and service must be large enough to handle all  
the burners being installed plus any other connected  
load. The gas hose which feeds the system must be  
large enough to supply the required gas with a  
maximum pressure drop of 1/2" w.c. When gas piping  
is not included in the layout drawing, the local gas  
supplier will usually help in planning the gas piping.  
Fire Hazard  
Fre Hazard  
Tighten gas hose fittings to connect gas supply  
according to Figure 25.  
Gas hose can crack when twisted.  
Gas hose moves during normal operation.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,  
• Do not high pressure test the gas piping with  
the burner connected. Failure to follow these  
instructions can result in property damage.  
injury or property damage.  
• Check the pipe and tubing ends for leaks  
before placing heating equipment into  
service. When checking for gas leaks, use a  
soap and water solution; never use an open  
flame.  
Install the gas hose as shown in Figure 25. The gas  
hose accommodates expansion of the heating system  
and allows for easy installation and service of the  
burner. Before connecting the burners to the supply  
system, verify that all high pressure testing of the gas  
piping has been completed.

12.2 ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVACTM  
SECTION 12: CONTROL METHODS  
The ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVACTM is a micro  
processor based control package designed for  
modulating control of CRV-Series heaters based on  
outdoor temperatures. The controls offer full  
modulation between 60% and 100% of system  
maximum rated input.  
WARNING  
This controller is capable of giving control outputs to  
one pump and three heating zones. The controller  
also features inputs which are used for indoor and  
outdoor signal condition monitoring.  
System status and settings are viewed and altered  
from a PC (not supplied) running ROBERTS  
GORDON® ULTRAVACTM Software.  
Electrical Shock Hazard  
Disconnect electrical power and gas supply before  
servicing.  
This appliance must be connected  
to a properly grounded electrical source.  
ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVACTM Software  
requires a PC (not supplied) running Windows® 95 or  
higher, with a Pentium® class processor and at least  
64k of RAM.  
Special design requirements apply for CRV-  
Series systems using the ROBERTS GORDON®  
ULTRAVACTM Controller.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in  
death or electrical shock.  
There are several methods of controlling CRV-Series  
systems. The options are as follows:  
12.1 ROBERTS GORDON® System Control  
The System Control is an electronic control panel  
designed to control CRV-Series heating systems.  
The System Control wiring is shown on Page 46,  
Figure 29 through Page 47, Figure 32 and in the  
System Control Installation Manual  
(P/N 10091601NA). The System Control can be used  
to control an EP-100 or EP-201 pump from the control  
panel. Other pumps such as the EP-301 and 3 phase  
models may be controlled by a relay or motor starter.  
The System Control can control up to four zones of  
burners.  
The electrical circuit is a 120V AC (20A) supply.  
The output for the thermostat is 12V DC. Do not use  
thermostats that draw power from the low voltage  
supply.  
A System Control operated system has two minutes  
post purge pump operation to completely exhaust  
products of combustion from the system. A system  
control provides indication of power to the pump and  
the zones as well as indicating the status of the  
pressure switch with lights.  
12.3 SPST Transformer Relay (P/N 90417600)  
The transformer relay wiring diagram is shown on  
Page 43, Figure 26. The transformer relay can be  
used to control an EP-100 or EP-201 pump  
CORAYVAC® system. The single pole relay can only  
be used to control one zone of burners.  
The electrical circuit is a 120V AC (20 A) supply.  
The transformer 24V AC output for the thermostat is  
rated at 40 V A. Thermostats used with the  
transformer must not exceed this power requirement.  
A transformer relay operated system will not give any  
post purge pump operation to completely exhaust  
products of combustion from the system or provide  
indication of operating conditions.  
12.4 DPST Transformer Relay (P/N 90436300)  
The transformer relay wiring diagram is shown on  
Page 45, Figure 28. The transformer relay can be  
used to control an EP-100 or EP-201 pump  
CORAYVAC® system. The double pole relay can only  
be used to control two zones of burners.  
The electrical circuit is a 120V AC (20A) supply.  
The transformer 24V AC output for the thermostat is  
rated at 40VA. Thermostats used with the  
The System Control is UL listed in accordance with  
UL873 – Temperature Indicating and Regulating  
Equipment.  
transformer must not exceed this power requirement.  
A transformer relay operated system will not give any  
post purge pump operation to completely exhaust  
products of combustion from the system or provide  
indication of operating conditions.

SECTION 13: STARTING THE SYSTEM  
SECTION 13: STARTING THE SYSTEM  
Start with the main gas valve closed and the electric  
power off.  
2. Allow at least ½ hour operation for temperature  
to normalize, then check system vacuum bal-  
ance. Vacuum can be measured by inserting a  
manometer hose into the end vent as shown on  
Page 50, Figure 35. Normal end vent vacuum  
should be set at approximately 2.5'' w.c. to 3.0''  
w.c. (hot).  
13.1 Checking the Gas Line  
1. Open the main valve and verify that no gas is  
flowing through the meter.  
2. Purge the line if this was not done following  
pressure testing with air.  
Vacuum adjustments are made by means of the  
damper in the pump inlet and the adjustable  
damper coupling(s) in the system. Check the  
vacuum at all end vents and then adjust the  
damper coupling to obtain equal vacuum  
readings of 2.5'' w.c. to 3.0'' w.c. If end vent  
vacuum exceeds 3.0" w.c., adjust the pump inlet  
damper until vacuum readings are 2.5'' w.c. to  
3.0'' w.c.  
3. Verify that the gas pressure is not above  
14'' w.c. (1/2 PSIG).  
4. Close the main gas valve.  
13.2 Checking the Electrical System  
1. See that all temperature setpoints are set below  
room temperature.  
2. Turn on power supply to system controls.  
With systems designed to operate at maximum  
vacuum, it may not be possible to obtain  
vacuum differential readings at or slightly above  
2.5'' w.c. If so, adjust the damper couplings to  
maximum but equal vacuum reading. Be sure to  
lock all dampers securely after adjustment.  
3. Check to see that no part of the system (i.e.  
burners, pump or air supply blower) is powered.  
4. Individually check each zone by raising the zone  
temperature set points separately. Raising each  
zone temperature set point above room  
temperature should start the pump immediately.  
After a 45 second delay, the burners will begin  
their ignition sequence by sparking at the  
3. Reset temperature setpoints to desired room  
temperature.  
electrode (visible through the burner window).  
4. If heat is not required, turn off main switch and  
close the main gas valve.  
5. Make a preliminary vacuum check at burners in  
branches that have an adjustable damper  
coupling. See Page 50, Figure 35 for manome-  
ter hookup to check vacuum. This check is to  
insure that all dampers are open before the  
system is fired. Vacuum, as measured at the  
end vents, should be approximately 3.5'' w.c. or  
slightly above (cold).  
13.3 Starting the System  
NOTE: During the initial firing, the protective oil on  
the tubing may smoke for 30 to 60 minutes and  
adequate ventilation should be provided.  
1. Start with all temperature setpoints below room  
temperature.  
2. Open main gas valve.  
3. Turn up temperature setpoints one zone at a  
time, waiting to see that all burners in a zone  
start. When the burner ignites, a blue flame will  
be observed through the viewer window.  
4. If any abnormal operation occurs, see the trou-  
bleshooting section of the service instructions.  
13.4 Setting the Vacuum  
1. Set temperature setpoints above room tempera-  
ture. See that all burners are operating properly.

SECTION 14: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE  
SECTION 14: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE  
The heater is equipped with a direct-spark ignition  
system.  
14.4 Pre-Season Maintenance and Annual  
Inspection  
14.1 Sequence of Operation  
WARNING  
1. Turn the thermostat up. When the thermostat  
calls for heat, the pump will start immediately.  
After a short period, the burners will begin their  
ignition sequence. Sparking will begin at the  
electrodes and the gas valve will be energized  
45 seconds later.  
2. The flame will be sensed by the flame sensing  
rod and the electrode is de-energized.  
Explosion Hazard  
Service and annual inspection must be done by a  
contractor qualified in the installation and service of  
gas-fired heating equipment or your gas supplier.  
3. If a flame is detected, the gas valve  
remains open. When the call for heat is  
satisfied, the burner shuts off. On CRV-Series  
systems equipped with the optional ROBERTS  
GORDON® System Control, or ROBERTS  
GORDON® ULTRAVACTM, the pump will  
continue operation for a post-purge period of  
two minutes.  
Turn off gas and electrical supplies before performing  
service or maintenance.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,  
injury or property damage.  
To ensure your safety and years of trouble-free  
operation of the heating system, service and annual  
inspections must be done by a contractor qualified in  
the installation and service of gas-fired heating  
equipment.  
Turn off gas and electric supplies before performing  
service or maintenance. Allow heater to cool before  
servicing.  
4. If no flame is detected, the module will close and  
a purge period begins. If a flame is not  
established, a second purge and warm-up will  
take place and then a third trial cycle will begin.  
After three trials, the module will lockout for one  
hour or until reset.  
5. A reset is accomplished by removing power  
from the module for at least 5 seconds (thermo-  
stat cycle is required) or automatically after 1  
hour.  
Before every heating season, a contractor qualified in  
the installation and service of gas-fired heating  
equipment must perform a thorough safety  
inspection of the heater.  
For best performance, the gas, electrical, thermostat  
connections, tubing, venting, suspensions and  
overall heater condition should be thoroughly  
inspected.  
NOTE: Gas flow and burner ignition are among the  
first things that should be inspected.  
Please see Page 52, Section 14.5 for suggested  
items to inspect.  
14.2 To Shut Off Heater  
Set thermostat to lowest setting.  
Turn OFF electric power to heater.  
Turn OFF manual gas valve in the heater supply line.  
14.3 To Start Heater  
Turn gas valve and electric power OFF and wait five  
minutes for unburned gases to vent from heater.  
Turn ON main gas valve.  
Turn ON electric power.
