Zone Control Panel
Component Function and Installation
The zone control panel is a remote mounted control system
allowing the operation of a specific amount of heaters
within a certain zone of the building. The panels are of high
and medium capacities.
These panels will control the following quantity of heaters
depending on fuel type.

The zone control panel must be mounted to a flat, stable
wall inside the building. Use lag screws provided.
MANUAL IGNITION ZONE CONTROL PANELS
There are are a number of optional configuration zone con-
trol panels available. Two panel versions are high capacity
(# 09856-D) and medium capacity (09688-D), modulating
thermostatically controlled for stand alone, non-electrical
operation.
For manual ignition zone panels, care must
be taken to ensure that the thermostatic
control module is not exposed to outside air
temperatures. Exposure of the thermostatic
control module to outside air temperatures
(Example: when sidewall curtains are open)
may cause the heater to provide unwanted
heat.

SPARK IGNITION ZONE CONTROL PANELS
There are two optional zone control panels avail-
able. These are high and medium capacity for use
with the building's environmental control system.
Both use two normally closed solenoids.
If using a zone control panel, spark
ignition Infraconic heaters must only
be installed with a solenoid controlled
zone panel designed specifically for the
heater. Use of zone panels without so-
lenoid control will result in high carbon
monoxide levels and poor combustion.
Regardless if ordering a manual ignition zone
panel, or spark ignition zone panel, it must have
an adjustable high pressure regulator installed
upstream of the inlet of the zone control panel. This
regulator may be purchased from the L. B. White
Co. as an optional accessory. For L.P. gas, the
regulator must be capable of handling a maximum
inlet pressure of 10 psi, while supplying an outlet
pressure of 5 psi nominal. This pressure is supplied
to the zone control or individual controlled heater.
For natural gas, a regulator must be installed to
supply an outlet pressure of 5 psi nominal.
Whether ordering a manual ignition or spark ignition
heater, consult your local L. B. White dealer or
distributor or call the L. B. White Co. for recommen-
dations on the best configuration of zone panels for
your specific application.
