Smith’s LL 640 Ecovector II Low Level User Manual

Introduction

In the event of items missing or visible damage please contact us on 01245 324560.
This heating appliance is intended for mounting on a wall at low level. The minimum recommended installation height is 100mm from the floor. There is no clearance required on either side of the heater.

This heater must not be used in bathrooms or other high humidity areas.

Ecovector ll Low Level is designed for use on standard two-pipe pumped central heating systems where the system hot water is generated from either a boiler or renewable sources. This product is not suitable for one-pipe heating systems. Pipe connections are 15mm.

We recommend the use of full flow isolating valves. These valves should be accessible after completion of the installation.

Ecovector ll Low Level is classified as a fixed appliance and electrical connection should be via a double pole 3A fused spur. The fused spur must not be directly above the heater but should be accessible after completion of the installation. If the pre-wired mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons. The appliance must be earthed.

To avoid possibility of vibration, this product must be installed on a flat, even surface.
To comply with Building Regulations Part L (Part J in Scotland) this heater is fitted and controlled by an integral room thermostat

Please note the guarantee may be invalidated if this product is not installed and used in accordance with this guide.

Product performance

Heat outputs tested in accordance with BS4856 using entering water temperature and 340 l/h (75gph) flow rate.
Sound levels measured at 1.5m.

Installation – product

1. Fix unit to wall
Ensure the unit is level and fix to the wall using suitable fixings via the chassis mounting holes.
The minimum height from the floor should be 100mm and if there is any shelving above the unit it should be at a minumum height of 100mm above the unit.

2. Connect the pipes
We recommend the use of full flow isolating valves. These valves should be accessible after completion of the installation. Pipe work can be brought out from the heater directly or through the rear chassis.

Connect the heating system flow and return pipes to the heater pipework. Do not use soldered fittings to connect onto the heater, as the heat generated could damage internal components and prevent disconnection from the system for maintenance. The pipe nearest the chassis is the supply flow and the pipe nearest the front of the heater is the return. Failure to connect (connections are labelled) to the correct pipes will result in the heater not working correctly.

Check for water leaks. Remove any trapped air from the system via the vent valve on the top left hand side of the heat exchanger. Do not over tighten the air vent.

3. Electrical supply and electrical connection

ALL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH BS7671, 1992 AND THE IEE REGULATIONS. CHECK THE VOLTAGE ON THE HEATER IS CORRECT FOR YOUR SUPPLY. IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

If the pre-wired mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons.

Isolate the supply and connect the heater three core mains lead to the fused spur (3A) in accordance with the instructions provided on the mains lead label. (The supply wire which is coloured green or green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked E on the appliance, the supply wire which is coloured black or blue must be connected to the terminal marked N on the appliance and the supply wire which is coloured red or brown must be connected to the terminal marked L on the appliance).

The fused spur must not be directly above the heater but should be accessible after completion of the installation.

Installation – controller

1. Introduction
This product is supplied with a wireless battery powered wall-mounted time and temperature controller. The product will NOT function without the wall mounted controller. The controller can control an unlimited number of heaters.

The controller is primarily designed to minimise energy wastage and ensure the room is maintained at the comfort level set by the user.

In the basic setting, the controller is a simple room thermostat in which the heater will run until the set temperature is reached. If the room temperatures falls the heater will switch on again until the set temperature is reached. The operating range is between 15°C and 35°C.

1. Choosing a position in a room for the wall controller. The Controller should be positioned 1.5m above the floor and in the same room space as the heater. The controller should be fixed to the wall. Avoid areas with draught or direct sun. Do not position the controller above or close to the heaters or other heat sources damp areas or areas where the controller can be mechanically damaged should also be avoided. Avoid installing the controller in areas where there are metal objects between the heater and the controller. This will reduce the RF range. The RF range in ideal conditions can be up to 20m however this can be reduced when the signal is passing through the walls or other objects. The range can be also affected where the controller is mounted close to power cables, motors or equipment producing strong electromagnetic field. If the temperature control feature is used it is necessary to use one controller for each room or zone.
2. Installation – The controller is supplied with a white plastic mounting box that needs to be fixed to a wall at 1.5m above floor level. The controller is powered by two AAA batteries, supplied. To activate the controller pull the plastic tab located at the + battery terminal.
   The batteries should be replaced every 12 months.

2. Controller – Quick Set up
IMPORTANT – THIS HEATER WILL NOT WORK UNLESS USED AND PAIRED WITH THE SLVTB THERMOSTAT CONTROLLER

Note: If the heat symbol flashes the target temperature of the SLVTB thermostat controller is lower than the current room temperature – if the heat symbol is solid the SLVTB thermostat controller target temperature is higher than the current room temperature.

4. Commissioning

1. Ensure the fused spur is switched ON.

2. Ensure the heater is paired with the wireless controller.

3. Ensure the controller is switched on and calling for heat.

4. Set the fan speed switch to Normal or Boost and the right hand switch to blue (summer) – the fan should run.

5. Turn on the central heating system.

6. Set the right hand switch to Red (Winter).
   The fan should run and heat will flow within a few minutes.

7. Balance the central heating system if Ecovector Low is installed on the same circuit as panel radiators.

8. To turn the heater OFF set the controller switch to OFF (heating symbol not shown on display)

5. Installation completion
Refit outer casing to the chassis and secure with screws.

Heating operation

Ensure the central heating system is ON. Switch on the power supply to the unit. Set the thermostat control to the desired temperature.

Providing the water temperature in the central heating system is more than 33°C (Standard LTC only) and the thermostat is calling for heat the product will switch on.

Fault finding

Providing the power supply is switched on and the thermostat control is calling for heat the heater will switch on and off automatically with the central heating system.
In the event of any difficulty, please contact us on +44 (0) 1245 324560.
It will be helpful if you do not disconnect the heater from the central heating system.

How it works

Your Ecovector is designed to operate as part of your central heating system in the same way as a panel radiator. Providing you leave the heater switches in their normal operating positions it will switch on and off automatically with you central heating system.

Heat from your central heating system passes through a heat exchanger transferring its heat to the aluminium fins, room air is drawn in the lower grille and heated as it passes through the heat exchanger before being gently expelled back into the room.

Ecovector includes a low temperature thermostat that prevents the fan(s) operating until the central heating system water passing through the heat exchanger reaches a set temperature.

How to operate

Ensure your central heating is ON, the controls calling for heat (Setpoint above the room temperature) & any fan speed selected; normal or boost.
Providing your system temperature exceeds 33°C the fans will run.

Fault finding

Providing the power supply is switched on and the thermostat control is calling for heat the heater will switch on and off automatically with the central heating system.
In the event of any difficulty, please contact us on +44 (0) 1245 324560.
It will be helpful if you do not disconnect the heater from the central heating system.
