Wall mounting
The heater must be positioned with respect to the minimum clearances shown in Fig. A and all cautions, notes & warnings on pages 3 and 4 adhered to.

1. Identify where you wish to position the heater and whether it will be in a portrait or landscape orientation then place the paper template on the wall for the hole positions or see diagram over page.

2. Select the dimensions for the heater model you are installing and using a pen, press through the hole centres on the template to mark the wall.
   Note, there is a 15mm drop from engagement holes on the brackets to the top hanging edges so allow for this.

3. Drill the mounting holes, insert wall anchors and fit the screws (not provided) and leave protruding approx. 5mm for the heater to hang on. Note. the slots on the back of the heater are 6mm wide so select screws which have a head larger than 6mm to ensure the heater remains captive and doesn’t fall off the wall.

4. Locate the slots on the back of the panel heater and hang in on all four screws with the cable exiting the heater downwards.

Ceiling mounting
CAUTION Always isolate the heater from the mains supply when mounting or adjusting the heater position.

• The heat panels are suitable for ceiling mounting with the optional ceiling mounting brackets available from Space-Ray.
  Note. it can also be hung from chains or suspension wires (source separately).

• The heater must be positioned with respect to the minimum clearances shown in Fig. D.

1. Identify where you wish to position the heater and place the paper template on the wall for the hole positions of the ceiling mounting brackets or refer to the dimensions over the page.
2. Select the dimensions for the heater model you are installing and using a pen/pencil, press through the hole centres on the template to mark the wall.
3. Drill the mounting holes, insert suitable wall anchors and screws (not provided). Note. plasterboard screws are not adequate! Refer to the specification table on page 4 for weights of the heaters.
4. Assembly the left and right ceiling mounting brackets (hook profiles to be outside of heater) to the joining brace as shown Fig. E & F using the nuts and washers provided.
5. Fit the ceiling mounting bracket assembly to the ceiling in the mounting holes (Fig. G) and it is recommended additional fixings are put in the slotted sections into ceiling joists.
6. Take the heat panel and offer it up to the hooks placing them through the body bracket slots and sliding along until it stops then gently lower to ensure all four corners are captive.
7. Ensure the mains supply cord does not rest on the heater.

Fitted within a suspended/false ceiling
CAUTION Always isolate the heater from the mains supply when mounting or adjusting the heater position.

• The heat panels are suitable for mounting in false/ suspended ceilings as the dimensions are the same as standard ceiling tiles.
• The heater must be positioned with respect to the minimum clearances shown in.

1. Ensure that the ceiling grid frame is suitablly sized to accommodate the heater.
2. Check the ceiling grid frame to ensure there is no damage and that it is flat.
3. Ensure that the return edge (on which the heater will sit) sufficiently covers all sides of the heater panel when it lays within the frame see Fig. L.
4. Check that the ceiling frame has sufficent supports to accomodate the weight of the panel heater, especially if more than one heater is to be installed.
5. Ensure the heater is seated fully in the frame without any gaps to maintain the fire rating of the ceiling.
6. Ensure the mains supply cord does not rest on the heater.

Operation

The heater should only be operated through an electronic thermostat/control device that meets the Ecodesign directive requirements. Please contact Space- Ray for further details.

Fig. M illustrates how a heating panel should be wired. A double pole switch/isolator must always be fitted along with a time and temperature control. Where multiple heat panels are being used, each additional Panel is wired as shown in Fig. N. Care must be taken to ensure that the total load of all heaters connected do not exceed the capability of the time and temperature controller as well as the double pole switch/isolator.

Safety
The heater is fitted with a thermal cut-off switch which will cut off the heater output if it exceeds its output limit and switch it back on when it’s cooled to a sufficient level.

Maintenance

The Panel range of heaters contain no serviceable parts.

Cleaning
Before cleaning the heater disconnect/switch off from the mains power supply and ensure the appliance is cool. The heater should be wiped with a soft damp cloth and dried. Do not use abrasive cleaning products or polishes as these can damage the finish of the heater.
