Installation and operating instructions

General instructions

Read this user manual carefully before installation and use. Save the manual for future use.
The product may only be used for what appears in these installation and operating instructions.
The guarantee only applies if the instructions have been followed and the product was used as described.

Areas of use
Panther FC 6-15 is a very quiet series and efficient heater fans intended for heating and drying in e.g. workshops, sports halls, shops and meeting rooms.
Protection class: IP44.

Mounting

Heating fan Panther is mounted on the wall with included wall bracket. The bracket makes it possible to angle the heating fan downwards and to the sides (30° to the left or right). The product must mounted so that future service and maintenance can be  performed. For minimum distance, see figure on introductory pages.
The wall bracket is mounted on the fan heater in order to not be damaged during transport.

1. Detach the wall bracket from the appliance by taking remove the lower screws.
2. Mark and drill holes in the wall, with the console as a template.
3. Mount the bracket on the wall in the desired position (straight ahead, to the left or to Right). Use screws and plugs adapted to the wall.
4. Loosen the upper screws approximately 10 mm and hang the device on the console.
5. Adjust the heating fan to the desired angle, fix with the bottom screws on both sides off the device.
6. Make sure all screws are tight.

See pictures in the introduction pages.

Electrical installation
The heating fan is intended for fixed installation.
The installation, which must be preceded by an all-pole switches with a switching distance of at least 3 mm, must be carried out by a qualified installer and in accordance with this user manual and current regulations.

**** For all service, repair and maintenance, the power supply to the device must be disconnected.

Electrical installation is done on the back of the unit.
Perforate the penetration with a chisel before the cable is pushed through. Open the unit’s cover after loosening its four screws to access the switch room. Wiring diagram is on the inside of the lid. Power supply is connected to designated terminal block.
See connection diagrams.

Regulation

Panther FC is prepared for FC control system. FC available in several different packages. The FC packages are ordered separate. The heating fan has an integrated control board that connects to selected external control system FC. Communication and sensor  cables are connected to the control board via through-holes on the device back.

If more than one heating fan is to be controlled by one common FC, the system needs to be supplemented with an additional communication cable FCBC per unit.
Settings are made on the FC control panel. See manual for FC. FC activates fallback; when the heat is turned off, the fan continues to run moment to cool off the heating elements.

Start-up

When the device is used for the first time or after a longer break, smoke may appear or odors from accumulated dust or dirt on the elements. This is completely normal and disappears after a short while.

Overheating

The heating fan is provided with overheating protection. If it has triggered due to overheating, it is reset as follows:

1. Break the current with the all-pole switch.
2. Determine the cause and correct the error as caused the overheating.
3. Reset by removing the cover and press the red button on the temperature limiter until a click is heard. See images in the introductory pages.
4. Screw the lid on and connect the heating fan again.

ATTENTION! All work inside the appliance connection space must be made by a qualified specialist and in a voltage-free state!

Care
Because the fan motors and others components are maintenance-free, nothing is required maintenance other than regular cleaning, how often depends on local circumstances however, at least twice a year. Intake and exhaust grilles, fan wheels and elements can vacuumed or wiped with a dry cloth. At vacuuming use a brush so as not to damage fragile parts. Avoid strongly alkaline or acidic cleaning agents.

Earth fault circuit breaker

When the installation is protected by earth-fault circuit breakers and this triggers when the connection can this is due to moisture in the heating elements. When a unit that contains heating elements not used for a long time or stored in a humid environment, moisture can penetrate. this is not to be regarded as an error but is most easily rectified by connecting the unit via a socket without earth-fault circuit breaker, whereby the elements dry.
The drying time can vary from a few hours to one couple of days. For preventive purposes, it is suitable that the facility is put into operation for shorter periods of time during longer periods of non-use.

Packaging
The packaging materials are chosen with consideration to the environment and are therefore recyclable.

Handling of expired product

This product may contain, for the function necessary, but environmentally harmful substances and therefore must not be thrown away among ordinary people household waste when no longer in use, but must be handed over to a recycling station.
More information about where and how recycling must take place can be obtained from the local authorities or where the product was purchased.

Security

• For all installations of electrically heated products should earth fault circuit breaker 300 mA for fire protection be used.

• Ensure that the area around the device’s suction and exhaust grilles are kept free of material which can obstruct the air flow through the device!

• The device must not be covered in whole or in part as overheating of the device can result fire hazard!

• The device must not be placed directly under fixed wall socket!

• This appliance can be used by children over 8 years and by people with reduced physical, emotional or mental capacity, and by people with a lack of experience or knowledge, provided they are supervised or that they receive instructions regarding safe use of the device and its contents dangers. Children must not play with the device.
  Cleaning and maintenance must be carried out by the user and must not be performed by children without monitoring.

• Keep children under 3 years of age away from appliance or monitor them closely.

• Children between the ages of 3 and 8 may only switch the device on and off if it is placed or installed on the normal the place of use and the children are supervised carefully and instructed in the safe use of the device and the risks involved.

• Children between the ages of 3 and 8 may not enter plug, adjust, clean or maintain the device.

WARNING: Some parts of the device may become very hot and cause burns. Where especially attentive if there are children or sensitive people nearby.
