Assembly
Sun-Zone provides a wide beam distribution of radiant heat. Each unit is supplied complete with a fitted metal sheathed wire element, wire guard and a pair of mounting brackets.
Installation
The Sun-Zone must not be mounted close to a wall or ceiling. The minimum
distances are shown below in figure 1.
The Sun-Zone should be mounted at a minimum height of 2.1m from the floor.
The Sun-Zone can be wall or ceiling mounted, it can also be suspended on
chains or conduits as shown in Figure 2.
Fixing centers
| Part No. | Bracket/Chain | Conduit |
|---|---|---|
| HE6502SL | 1170mm | 1250mm |
| HE6503SL | 1570mm | 1660mm |
Special Note
Sun-Zone uses a metal sheathed wire element and it is a characteristic of this
element that a small amount of moisture can be absorbed from the atmosphere
during storage or even after installation if not in regular use. It is
possible that the amount of moisture absorbed could decrease the earth leakage
resistance with spurious operation of the current sensitive earth leakage
circuit breaker recommend for the Sun-Zone circuit. Should such a condition
occur, disconnect the heater and run for a few minutes in the circuit without
the earth leakage protection, this will drive off any offending moisture.
Return the circuit to its correct state with the RCCB connected. This must
only be carried out by a competent electrician.
SL Receiver Installation
The heater is supplied with the 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, a minimum of 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 the main 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 used.
Operation
When the appliance is connected to the mains supply, 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 wireless 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.
