Installation and operating instructions

General Instructions
Read these instructions carefully prior to installation and use. Keep this manual for future reference. The product may only be used as set out in the assembly and operating instructions. The guarantee is only valid should the product be used in the manner intended and in accordance with the instructions.

Application
Panther FC 20–30 is a range of powerful and quiet fan heaters intended for heating and drying in industrial premises and other large buildings. They are equipped with EC motor ensuring step less airflow control.
Protection class: IP44.

Mounting

The Panther fan heater is mounted on the wall with the supplied bracket. The bracket allows the fan heater to be angled downwards and to the side (30° left or right). The product must be mounted in such a way as to allow future service and maintenance. For minimum distance, see diagrams on the introduction pages. The bracket is fixed to the unit during transportation to not damage the unit.

1. Detach the bracket from the unit by removing the lower screws.
2. Mark and drill the holes for the bracket’s keyhole slots on the wall.
3. Mount the bracket on the wall in the desired position (straight, to the left or to the right). Use screws and plugs suitable for the wall.
4. Loosen the upper screws of the unit approximately 10 mm and hang the unit on the bracket.
5. Adjust the fan heater to the desired angle and fasten it with the lower screws on both sides of the unit.
6. Tighten all screws.

See pictures in the introduction pages.
The power supply to the unit must be disconnected during all service, repair and maintenance work.

Electrical installation
The Panther fan heater is intended for permanent installation. The installation, which should be preceded by an isolator switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm, should only be wired by a competent electrician and in accordance with the latest edition of IEE wiring regulations. The electrical connection is made on the back of the unit. Pierce the grommet with a screwdriver before entering the cable. Open the lid by removing its four screws to access the connection area. The wiring diagram can be found on the inside of the lid. Power supply should be connected to the assigned terminal block.
See wiring diagrams.

Control
Panther FC is prepared for FC control system, available in several packages for different requirements. The FC packages are ordered separately. The fan heater has an integrated PC board which is connected to the selected external control system FC. Communication and sensor cables are connected to the PC board via grommets on the back on the unit. Should more than one fan heater be controlled by a single FC, an additional communication cable FCBC per unit will be required. Settings are made on the FC control panel. See manual for FC. FC will activate the after-run: when the heat is switched off, the fan will continue to run for a short while to cool the elements.

Start-up
When the unit is used for the first time or after a long period of non-use, smoke or an odour may result from dust or dirt which has collected on the element. This is completely normal and disappears after a short time.

Overheating
The fan heater is equipped with an overheat protection. If it is deployed due to overheating, reset as follows:

1. Disconnect the power supply with the isolator switch.
2. Determine the cause of overheating and rectify the fault.
3. Reset by opening the lid and pushing the red button on top of the overheat protection until a click sound is heard. See pictures in the introduction pages.
4. Put the lid back on and reconnect the heater. NOTE! All work inside the unit’s connection area must be carried out by a qualified technician and with the power supply disconnected.

Maintenance
Since fan motors and other components are maintenance-free, no maintenance other than cleaning is necessary. The level of cleaning can vary depending on local conditions. Undertake cleaning at least twice a year. Inlet and exhaust grilles, impeller and elements can be vacuum cleaned or wiped using a damp cloth. Use a brush when vacuuming to prevent damaging sensitive parts. Avoid the use of strong alkaline or acidic cleaning agents.

Residual current circuit breaker
When the installation is protected by means of a residual current circuit breaker, which trips when the appliance is connected, this may be due to moisture in the heating element. When an appliance containing a heater element has not been used for a long period or stored in a damp environment, moisture can enter the element. This should not be seen as a fault, but is simply rectified by connecting the appliance to the main supply via a socket without a safety cut-out so that the moisture can be eliminated from the element. The drying time can vary from a few hours to a few days. As a preventive measure, the unit should occasionally be run for a short time when it is not being used for extended periods of time.

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

Handling of product at end of working life
This product may contain substances necessary for the functionality of the product but potentially dangerous for the environment. The product should not be disposed of mixed with general household waste but delivered to a designated collection point for environmental recycling. Please contact the local authority for further details of your nearest designated collection point.

Safety
