INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SERIES OKA – INFRARED RADIANT HEATERS
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD WARNING - During operation, take precautions to ensure that
combustible materials are always kept at a safe distance from the radiant energy. This heater is
not intended for use in hazardous areas where flammable vapours, gases or liquids or other
combustibles are present. Remember that objects placed under an infrared heater can take a while
to reach stabilized temperatures. If you are unsure of the suitability of the heater for the intended
application, check with the factory for recommendations. Failure to comply can result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
DESCRIPTION
1.0 The OKA radiant heater is suitable for process heating in
non-hazardous areas protected from rain, snow or splashing, where
heating element temperatures in excess of 1382°F(750°C) will not
present the risk of fire or explosion. This heater is not intended for
use in comfort heating applications.
2.0 The OKA heater is available with metal sheathed, quartz
lamp or quartz tube heating elements. Use heaters with metal
sheathed elements where there is heavy vibration or mechanical
shock. Quartz tube or quartz lamp elements are very fragile and
require extreme care in handling. Heaters utilizing quartz tubes or
quartz lamps are unsuitable for applications in locations where the
risk of heavy vibration or mechanical shock exists.
3.0 To avoid damage in transit, heaters with quartz lamp or
quartz tube elements are shipped with the elements not installed in
the fixture.
4.0 A minimum of handling of the quartz sheath is
recommended since any type of contamination on the sheath may
reduce service life.
INSTALLATION
The system designer is responsible for
the safety of this equipment and
adequate back-up controls and safety
devices must be installed. Failure to
comply could result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
Heaters must be wired by qualified
personnel in compliance with local
codes.
5.0 Verify that the nameplate voltage and wattage are suitable
for use on the available electrical power supply. Do not connect
the heater to an electrical supply voltage other than shown on the
product label.

For metal sheathed heaters, insulation
contamination
accumulation can cause fault to the
element sheath generating arcing and
releasing molten metal. Install proper
ground fault protection to prevent
personal injury and/or property
damage.
When mounting, maintain a minimum clearance to
380 mm

FIG. 1 – MOUNTING CLEARANCES
Heaters with quartz tube or quartz lamp
type heating elements are suitable for
horizontal mounting only. Heaters with
metal sheathed heating elements can
be mounted in any desired position.
For short circuit protection, heaters must be installed with
