CTH3-SERIES INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL
SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
The installer is responsible for the following:
on the burner and in the Installation, Operation and
8, Figure 12. Write the proper clearance dimensions
in permanent ink according to your model number
and configuration in the open spaces on the tag.
• To install the heater, as well as the gas and
electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon LLC
recommends the installer contact a local Building
Inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
CAUTION
• To use the information given in a layout drawing
and in the manual together with the cited codes
and regulations to perform the installation.
• To install the heater in accordance with the
clearances to combustibles.
• To furnish all needed materials not furnished as
standard equipment.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not use heater in area containing
corrosive chemicals.
• To plan location of supports.
• To provide access to burners for servicing on all
sides, for burner removal.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS).
• To provide the owner with a copy of this
installation, operation and service manual.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in product damage.
• To never use heater as support for a ladder or
other access equipment and never hang or sus-
pend anything from heater.
Roberts-Gordon LLC 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 ensure there is adequate air circulation around
the heater and to supply air for combustion, venti-
lation and distribution in accordance with local
codes.
• To safely and adequately install heater using
materials with a minimal working load of 75 lbs
(33 kg).
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen
elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These com-
pounds 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 compo-
nents 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 the heater is placed in a approved
application.
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 LLC
®
or your ROBERTS GORDON independent
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes
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
heater (e.g. thermostat or ROBERTS GORDON
Controller).
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.
®
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.

SECTION 3: CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
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 on fire and include common
items such as wood, paper, rubber, fabric, etc.

surface temperature of 90° F (50°C) above room
temperature. Building materials with a low heat
tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, can-
vas,triply, etc.) may be subject to degradation at
lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibil-
ity to assure that adjacent materials are protected
from degradation.

Heaters installed unvented must be interlocked
with sufficient building exhaust.
Heaters must be installed according to the
installation manual.
The bottom of the vent or air intake terminal shall not
be located less than 1' (.3 m) above grade level.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death or injury.
The vent shall not terminate less than 7' (2.1 m) above
grade where located adjacent to public walkways.
Vent terminal must be installed at a height sufficient to
prevent blockage by snow and building materials
protected from degradation by flue gasses.

Secure all joints with #8 x 3/8 sheet metal screws.
Seal all joints with high temperature silicone sealant.
Vent terminal must be beyond any combustible
overhang.
8.1.1 United States Requirements
Cut/Pinch Hazard
Vent must terminate at least 3' (.9 m) above any forced
air inlet located within 10' (3.1 m).
Wear protective gear during installation,
operation and service.

NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision.
8.2 Unvented Operation
Sufficient ventilation must be provided in the amount
of 4 cfm per 1000 Btu/h firing rate (United States); 3
cfm per 1000 Btu/h firing rate (Canada).
Canada: Refer to Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code CSA B149.1 - latest revision.
Exhaust end of heater will accept a 4" (10 cm) vent
pipe using the vent adapter (P/N 90502700). To
prevent leakage of condensation, install the vent
adapter with the seam on top and seal the joint using
a high temperature silicone sealant.
Use of optional outside combustion air is not
recommended with unvented heaters.
If exhaust fans are used to supply ventilation air, an
interlock switch must be used to prevent the heater
from coming on when the fans are off. This may be
done using a pressure switch.
Any portion of vent pipe passing through a
combustible wall must have an approved thimble
to conform with the above listed codes.

FIGURE 20: Tube Termination
In noncombustible walls only, vent terminal
(P/N 02537801-1P) may be used.
For 4" (10 cm) vents in either combustible or
noncombustible walls, use Tjernlund VH1-4 (P/N
90502100) or equivalent, insulated vent terminal.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper
installation.
For 6" (15 cm) common vents in either combustible or
noncombustible walls, use Tjernlund VH1-6 (P/N
90502101) or equivalent, insulated vent terminal.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper
installation.
8.6 Length Requirements
The maximum vent length allowed is 45' (13.7 m). The
maximum outside air supply duct length allowed is 45'
(13.7 m).
8.4 Vertical Venting
For 4" (10 cm), an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502300) must be used.
The total vent length, plus outside air duct length and
any extensions to minimum heat exchanger lengths,
cannot exceed 65' (19.8 m).
For 6" (15 cm) common vent, an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502302) must be used.
For common vertical venting of more than two heaters,
A vent shall not extend less than 2' (.6m) above the
highest point where it passes through a flat roof of a
building.
Vent length should be limited to less than 20' (6 m).
If using extended heater lengths or vent lengths
greater than 20' (6 m), condensation will form in the
vent pipe. Insulation and additional sealing measures
(high temperature silicone at all seams) are required.
Optional heat exchanger beyond minimum lengths are
considered as vent length for length determination.
8.5 Unvented Operation Tube Termination
Turndown type vent terminal with a screen must be
installed at the exhaust end of the tube. Vent terminal
design shall not incorporate backdraft flap.

SECTION 9: GAS PIPING
SECTION 9: 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 line. This can cause a gas leak resulting in
an unsafe condition if the gas connection is not made
WARNING
Meter and service must be large enough to handle all
the burners being installed plus any other connected
load. The gas line which feeds the system must be
large enough to supply the required gas with a
maximum pressure drop of 1/2" wc When gas piping
is not included in the layout drawing, the local gas
supplier will usually help in planning the gas piping.
Fire Hazard
Tighten gas hose fittings to connect gas
supply according to Figure 21.
Gas lines must meet applicable codes:
United States: The Flexible Stainless Steel Gas

rates and can easily integrate with a building
automation system.
A programmable, 7-day programming, modulating
thermostat can be installed to supply an analog (4-
20mA) or (2-10Vdc with 500 Ohm resistor) control
signal to dictate the heater(s) firing rate. The
thermostat shall energize the T24 and T25 (R and
sensors (P/N 10081520) and outdoor air sensors
(P/N 10081521) are available.

Thermostats
The thermostat will control the heater(s) firing rate
based on the demand signal communicated from
thermostat program taking into account space
temperature. The thermostat will energize T25 (W)
terminal. At high heat, a demand signal will turn the
heater(s) on at maximum heater(s) firing rate. Once
the room temperature gets close to the thermostat
set point, then the thermostat program will slow the
heater(s) firing rate down until the room temperature
reaches the thermostat set point.

10.4.8 Remote Analog Signal
Remote Analog Signal 0-10 Vdc or 4-20mA output
from external controller or Building Management
System (BMS) directly dictates heater(s) firing rate.
An algorithm must be programmed into the BMS or
external controller to receive zone air temperature
signals from its own temperature sensors and then
deliver an output signal to the heater(s) for the
desired firing rate.
For 0-10Vdc control of the heater(s) firing rate, the
following control conditions apply:
ON/OFF relay at the external controller or BMS must
be wired to R and W terminals on the heater control
board to turn the heater ON and OFF.
Minimum rated input at 1% of signal (0-1Vdc).
Full rated input at 90% of signal (9Vdc).
Input varies linearly between 1Vdc and 9Vdc.

SECTION10:WIRING
For 4-20mA control of the heater(s) firing rate, the
following control conditions apply:
2. Based on sensed temperatures, the BMS will
output an analog signal for the desired heater(s)
firing rate.
ON/OFF relay at the external controller or BMS must
be wired to R and W terminals on the heater control
board to turn the heater ON and OFF.
(Open Circuit = OFF, Closed Circuit = ON).
Minimum rated input at 1% of signal (0-4 mA).
Full rated input at 90% of signal (18 mA).
3. As heater(s) receive the analog signal from the
BMS, the heater(s) modulate to the correspond-
ing firing rate.
4. As sensed air temperature rises closer to the
desired temperature setpoint, the BMS will
reduce the output signal, in turn reducing heater
firing rate.
Input varies linearly between 4 mA and 18 mA.
BMS controllers often offer PID loop control that can
optimize output signal and rate of change of the
output signal. Common analog application is defined
as follows:
5. Upon satisfying temperature setpoint, the BMS
will either:
a. Turn off the heater.
b. Reduce the signal so that the minimum
heater firing rate is maintained until the
sensed temperature rises above the
setpoint to a cut-off limit temperature when
the BMS turns off the heater.
1. BMS sensors that monitor zone air
temperatures are located in the heating space.

11.1 Sequence of Operation
continues to run for a 45 second post-purge
period. After the post-purge, the heater turns
OFF and the LED on the control board flashes
slow green.
The control inside the heater's control compartment
is equipped with a tri-color LED. The LED offers
comprehensive diagnostic capability. The LED
status will be referenced throughout this section.
1. When the control is powered and there is no call
for heat from external heat demand device, the
LED on the control flashes slow green; LED is
ON for the same period it is OFF.
6. If flame is lost at any time during heater
operation, the heater will RETRY for ignition.
Upon RETRY the LED shows a fast yellow flash
(LED rapidly flashes). The heater will RETRY for
ignition three times. After four ignition attempts,
the heater will lockout for one hour or until reset.
To reset the heater, remove power for 10
2. On a call for heat from the heat demand device,
the heater will go to PRE-PURGE. The LED
indicates one green flash. The blower speed will
vary as the pressure switch setpoints are
verified. When the PRE-PURGE is successfully
completed, the heater will go into the

3. After the igniter warms up, the heater will go to
the IGNITION state. Power is supplied to the
gas valve operator, gas flows, ignites and the
flame is proven. The LED shows two green
flashes on the LED. If a flame is not sensed, the
heater will RETRY, See Item 6 below for further
details.
Turn gas valve and electric power OFF and wait five
minutes for unburned gases to vent from heater.
Turn ON main gas valve.

4. When the IGNITION state is completed, the
heater will go to WARM UP state. The unit will
fire at maximum input for 15 seconds. When the
WARM UP state is completed the device will go
into RUN state. The control board will monitor
the heat demand device and modulate the
heater input to meet the demand. The LED still
shows two green flashes.
