An occasional wipe over with a soft cloth is all that should be necessary.
- Do NOT use metal or furniture polish on any part of the heater.
- Do NOT touch the heater with wet hands or in any way bring water into contact with it.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
If Your Heater Does Not Work
- Check that power is available to the heater. The LED light on the SL receiver should be illuminated
- Check that the fuse in the spur unit has not blown. This can be done by replacing the fuse with another suitable fuse.
- Check if the heater is paired with the SL controller Should none of the above remedies work, then telephone the helpline number shown in these instructions (UK ONLY). Do not attempt to repair the heater.
Connection to the Main Supply
Electrical installation should be carried out by a competent installer,
preferably registered with NICEIC in accordance with the 17th edition of the
IEE Wiring Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant Local Authority Bye-Laws.
This heater is fitted with a 3-core mains supply cable and must be permanently
connected to the electricity supply via a double pole switch having 3mm gap on
each pole. There are no exceptions. A switched Fused Connection unit to
BS.1363. Part 4 is a recommended mains supply connection accessory to ensure
compliance with safety requirements applicable to fixed-wiring installation.
Note: When switched on for the first time the appliance may emit a slight smell.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
When refitting the lid of the receiver box, care must be taken to align the
light pipe on the lid with the indicator light.
Assembly
The Twin-Zone heater is designed to provide widespread warmth (broad beam) or a more concentrated beam of heat over a localized area (narrow beam), and the selection of either is made by adjusting the position of the element. This is determined by ensuring that the ceramic blocks supporting the silica tubing are mounted into the heater body in the correct position. Long end of ceramic blocks downwards will give narrow beam and short end downwards will give broad beam. (See Fig 2).
The heater is supplied with the elements fitted in the broad beam position and
connected ready for installation.
To change the beam width to the narrow setting Remove the terminal box covers.
Remove the reflector from the body of the heater. Disconnect the element tails
from the terminal blocks. Holding the elements by the ceramic bushes, lift
the element out of the retaining slots in the body. Rotate the ceramic blocks
into the narrow beam position (long end downward, as Fig. 2) and replace. The
heater can now be reassembled in the reverse order.
ENSURE THAT THE CERAMIC BLOCKS ARE ALL INSERTED INTO THE BODY IN THE SAME
OFFSET POSITION.
LONG END DOWNWARDS FOR NARROW BEAM.
Suspension
Mounting brackets for suspension purposes are supplied with each heater. See
diagrams for alternative methods. Provision is made for mounting by 20 mm
conduit. Where the mounting brackets are joined at the swivel point, the M6
shake proof washer, supplied in the mounting pack, should be used.
Angled
The diagram below illustrates a pair of heaters, which should be adjusted to
the narrow beam position, suspended from the ceiling. Two heaters can be
mounted at 450 to the vertical, thus giving wider radiation from a single
point and saving extra wiring.
Wall Mounting
The heater can be wall mounted, using the brackets shown.
A safety guard, catalogue number HE6350, is available if required for
particular applications.
Element Replacement
A complete set of replacement elements (element spiral assembled in silica
tube) is available for all heaters. When installing replacement elements the
cleaning instructions given previously should be observed.

SL Receiver Installation
The heater is supplied with SL wireless receiver pre wired. The cable length
is approximately 0.9m. The controller should be screwed to the wall with 2x
number 4 or 5 screws and suitable wall plugs. Care should be taken when
installing the receiver. It must not be positioned above, behind or below the
heater. Ideal position is on the side, minimum 250mm from the heater. When the
heater is suspended from the ceiling, the SL receiver should be installed on
the ceiling as far as possible from the heater to avoid damaging the
electronic components when connecting mains cable to the receiver. If the
cable between the heater and the SL receiver needs replacing or extending, the
same 2.5mm high temperature flexible cable must be use.
Operation
When the appliance is connected to the mains sup-ply, the LED indicator will light up green, showing that the power is available to the unit.
When the heat output has been enabled by a wire-less controller, the LED indicator light will turn red.
This heater can only be used when connected to an SL wireless controller. Each
SL controller can control any number of heaters providing they are within the
RF range.
Please refer to the SL controller installation and control guide for full
operational details.
