Assembly and operating instructions
General Instructions
Read these instructions carefully before 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 if the product is used in the manner
intended and in accordance with the instructions
Application
With its smart functions and streamlined design, the PF Smart fan convector is
the perfect choice for fast and efficient heating. The PF Smart is suitable
for most environments including offices and homes. It is ideal for
installation in premises that are used rarely, such as weekend cottages and
assembly halls where rapid heating is desirable. In addition, the PF Smart can
be remotely controlled so that the premises is warm by the time you arrive.
Protection class: IP24.
Approvals
- When the maximum surface temperature is set to 60 °C, PFS is suitable for use in preschools, afterschool recreation centres and toilet and bathroom facilities.
- The convector is approved for installation in wet rooms provided that no control devices (buttons, switches, etc.) are within reach of persons in baths or showers. Convectors for portable use must not be used close to pools, bathtubs or showers.
Protection class: IP24.
Mounting
Fan convector PFS is mounted on the wall with the included wall bracket. The
convector must not be placed immediately under a fixed socket. For minimum
dimensions with permanent installation, see fig. 2. PFSE can also be used as a
portable unit, floor stand is available as an accessory.
Mounting with wall bracket
- Mount the wall bracket stable on the wall with screws in the oval holes (at least 2x). It is important that the wall bracket is aligned to a straight horizontal position. Guide holes on the wall bracket can be used to mark out where the bracket should be positioned to end up 10 cm above the floor. Fig. 3.
- Hang the fan convector on the wall bracket.
- Rotate the lock plate (Fig. 4) and fasten with a screw in the wall, so that the fan convector is mounted securely.
Mounting when a connection box is to be used To enable the installation of a surface-mounted connection box behind the fan convector, the wall bracket is bent in order to place the unit further from the wall. See Fig. 5 and 6.
- Bend the wall bracket acc. to Fig 6. The holes in the bent-down part are used to fasten the wall bracket to the wall.
- Follow steps 1-3 in section “Mounting with wall bracket”.’
Portable use
PFSE can also be used as a portable unit. Floor stand PFSS is available as an
accessory. Fig. 7.
- Mount the floor stand with the included screws.
- Hang the fan convector on the floor stand. The lock plate is not used and should be removed.
- Fasten the stand to the unit with screws included, in intended holes, PFSE4 1x, PFSE10/17 2x.
Connection
PFSE is equipped with a 1.2 metre long cord with plug for connection to an
earthed power socket (230V~). PFSD is intended for permanent installation and
is connected via cable without plug.
The installation, which should be preceded by an omnipolar 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.
Fan convector PFS is switched on with the switch placed low on the right
plastic end.
See wiring diagrams.
Switching surface temperature 60 / 90 °C On delivery, max. surface temperature is set to 90 °C. To select the lower surface temperature – max 60 °C, remove the jumper on the circuit board placed below the display inside the convector.
- Disconnect the power supply.
- The front is opened by removing the screws on the plastic ends (2x), pull the front at the bottom and then lift it up. (Fig. 8)
- Remove the jumper. Fig. 9.
- Reinstall the front.
A surface temperature of 60 °C can at some conditions result in a power reduction, to keep the temperature low.
Start-up (E)
When the unit is used for the first time or after a long period of disuse,
smoke or odour may result from dust or dirt that has collected on the element.
This is completely normal and disappears after a short time.
Service, repairs and maintenance
For all service, repair and maintenance first carry out the following:
- Disconnect the power supply.
- The front is opened by removing the screws on the plastic ends (2x), pull the front at the bottom and then lift it up. (Fig. 8)
- Reinstall the front.
Maintenance
In all electrical heating appliances, small clicks can occur due to movement
when the material expands and contracts with changes in temperature.
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, fans 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.
Overheat protection
The fan convector is equipped with overheat protection. The overheat
protection resets by turning off the unit during 10 minutes.
Replacing the fan motor
- Disconnect the power supply.
- The front is opened by removing the screws on the plastic ends (2x), pull the front at the bottom and then lift it up. (Fig. 8)
- Disconnect the cables to the motor.
- Remove the screws securing the motor and lift it out.
- Install the new motor as above in reverse order.
- Reinstall the front.
Safety
- For all installations of electrically heated products should a residual current circuit breaker 300 mA for fire protection be used.
- Keep the areas around the air intake and exhaust grilles free from possible obstructions!
- The unit may have hot surfaces during operation and when cooling down!
- The unit must not be fully or partially covered with clothing, or similar materials, as overheating can result in a fire risk! (E)
- This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Troubleshooting
Symptom | Cause | Action |
---|---|---|
The fan symbol is flashing. No heat and the fan runs at maximum speed. |
The internal temperature has exceeded the upper limit, even though the heat is off. The fans automatically run at the highest speed and the heat is blocked until the internal temperature is below
the limit, and then return to the previous settings.
| • Check that the air flow is not blocked at the intake grille or outlet grille.
• Clean the inside of the unit.
• Check that the internal sensor (at the outlet grille) are placed correctly.
The text “Heat OFF” appears. No heat.| The control considers that no heat is emitted from the heating element. (The temperature difference between the room sensors and internal sensors is less than 5 °C after 90 sec.)| • Check that the air flow is not blocked at the intake grille or outlet grille.
• Disconnect the power for at least 10 minutes in order to reset the overheat protection.
• Reconnect power and cancel the alarm by pressing the OK button for 3 seconds.
The text “Sens Out” flashes in the display and there is no heat.| The
lower sensor is defective or is de- tached from its fastening.| Contact Frico
for support.
The text “Sens In” flashes in the display and there is no heat.| The
upper sensor is defective or is de- tached from its fastening.| Contact Frico
for support.
The fan convector emits heat, but it becomes progressively more difficult
to achieve
the desired room temperature, even though the settings are unchanged.
| The internal temperature reaches its limit value faster, which limits the heat emis- sion.| • Check that the air flow is not blocked at the intake grille or outlet grille.
• Clean the inside of the unit.
• Check that all motors operate correctly.
All the fans are inactive.| The fan speed is set to OFF.| Switch fan
mode to Auto.
The function with fans off at reduced mode (FRT) is active.| Put FRT function
to OFF in Settings.
The quick plug for the first motor is de- tached.| Check the fan motor
connections.
If the problems continue, please contact Frico for support.
