Installation
Warning! Do not leave the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene,
nails etc.) within reach of children as they represent potential hazards.
Warning! Electrical devices may only be operated in wet rooms connected
to a residual current circuit breaker.
Warning! Before initial operation of the device please ensure that this
connection is provided at the planned connection location.
Warning! The installation location must be selected so that the devices
cannot be sprayed with water or fall into water in any event.
Please note! Lay the connection cables in such a way that nobody can trip
over them and they cannot be crushed or come into contact with hot objects.
Please note! Only use extension cables that are compatible with the
output and in accordance with the valid safety regulations for the device.
Please note! Make sure that the devices are disconnected from the mains
power before and during installation.
When using the Palma 2.0 heater you have the choice of operation with or
without the included wet room thermostat Thermo 2. However for exact
temperature regulation and energy-saving operation we urgently recommend using
the Thermo 2.
To install the Palma 2.0, go to section 3.1.
To install the Palma 2.0 RAW, go to section 3.2.
Keep the Palma 2.0 clean and protect it from heavy soiling and moisture.
As described in the chapter Introduction and Technical Data on page 3, the
Palma 2.0 can be operated stand-alone (=Palma 2.0 RAW) or with the included
wet room thermostat Thermo 2.
However, for precise temperature regulation and energy saving operation the
use of the Thermo 2 is strongly recommended.
General control elements of the Thermo 2
3.2 Installation of Palma 2.0 heater
Warning! The distance from the inflammable objects should be at least
20”/ 50 cm. Adjust the heater so that there is a distance of at least 16”/ 40
cm between the wall and the air intake opening.
Warning! A free space of 1.5 meters should be left in front of the output
opening if possible.
Place the heater in your greenhouse (4).
Now insert the mains plug into the socket of the Thermo 2(5) or, if operating
without the Thermo 2, directly into the mains socket (6).
Warning! Never insert or remove the power plug with wet hands. When using
a multiple socket or an extension cable please ensure that the maximum current
carrying capacity is not exceeded. Cable drums must always be completely
unrolled. Do not wrap the connection cable around the device and never operate
the device with wound cable.
To set the Palma 2.0 RAW to wintermode, see section 4.2.
To set the Palma 2.0 to wintermode, see section 4.3.
To set the summer mode, see section 4.4.
Warning! Never insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.
Palma 2.0 Controls
Use the Palma 2.0 and Palma 2.0 RAW
4.1 General operation
When the desired room temperature is reached, turn the thermostat slowly
counterclockwise until you hear a ”click” (10). Due to the bimetal
thermostat’s measuring tolerance of ± 5 °C, it may be necessary to check the
set temperature with a thermometer and readjust it if necessary. To do this,
turn the thermostat switch in the desired direction (1-10).
Mode of the Palma 2.0
Device not in operation
Air circulation without heating (circulation in constant operation)
2 kW heating output (heating controlled by thermostat, air circulation in
constant operation)
4.2 Use the Palma 2.0 RAW in winter mode
Select position as the mode on the selector switch and set the thermostat to
maximum. The operation lamp will light up when the Palma 2.0 RAW starts with
heating (8).
Check the room temperature using a thermometer (9) .
When the desired room temperature is reached then slowly turn the thermostat in an anticlockwise direction until the operation lamp switches off (10).
The heater will now maintain the set temperature by re-starting the heating function when the room temperature falls below this level. In the event of temperature discrepancies you may need to adjust this a little.
It is not possible to print a temperature scale around the thermostat knob because the heating behavior will differ based on the environment the Palma 2.0 RAW is used in. For example the size, insulation, filling level and location of the greenhouse where the Palma 2.0 RAW is operated in, can make a significant difference. This is why it is recommended to use use the Palma 2.0 together with the optional and included Thermo 2 thermostat as described in chapter 4.3.
Select position as the mode on the selector switch. And set the heater thermostat to the maximum setting (12).
The wet room thermostat Thermo 2 will now take over temperature regulation and the Palma 2.0 heater will be switched on if the room temperature falls below the set level. If the temperature is reached then the heater will switch off again.
4.4 Use the Palma 2.0 and Palma 2.0 RAW in summer mode
Please note! The Thermo 2 is not required for summer operation. Just plug the
Palma 2.0 heater directly into a mains socket. In the summer months use of the
air circulation mode can achieve substantial reduction of the greenhouse
temperature.
Select mode 2 on the selector switch of the Palma 2.0 heater and open the door
or the roof window on your greenhouse (13). The position of the thermostat
switch is irrelevant here.
The greenhouse air that is heated by the sun is constantly circulated by the air circulation mode and thus moved outside. At the same time this measure regulates the humidity in the greenhouse and promotes the pollination of your plants.
4.5 Safety feature
Temperature controlled circuit breaker: If the device overheats the
temperature-controlled circuit breaker will switch the device off temporarily.
To switch the device back on, turn the heater off for 5 to 10 minutes to cool
down (14).
Another reason for the shutdown would be blockage of the intake or outlet opening.
- In this case please remove the corresponding objects (14). It could also be an indication that the ventilator has failed.
- In this case switch the heater off, remove the plug and contact an authorized specialist to arrange repair.
Cleaning, maintenance, environment and disposal
5.1 Cleaning and maintenance
Warning! Switch the device off before each cleaning and leave it to cool
for approximately 30 minutes before beginning cleaning.
Warning! Do not use any abrasive, caustic or cleaning materials. Clean
the casing with a damp cloth (not wet), vacuum cleaner or feather duster.
5.2 Environment and disposal
Please note! Only dispose of devices at a corresponding collection
centre.
Please note! Only authorized specialists are permitted to carry out
repairs on the device.
Please contact the manufacturer or distributor in this regard.
Warning! Incorrectly executed repairs can represent a hazard for the user
and other persons.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for any damage caused by
frost, insufficient heating performance for the room dimensions or
insufficient heat insulation.
