Mounting Instructions.

WALL MOUNTING
IMPORTANT!

1. The following points should be noted: The heater should always have a minimum clearance of 500mm from a ceiling and at least 1000mm from any object.
2. Ensure that the mounting surface is capable of supporting the weight of the heater.
3. The mounting bracket must be sufficiently earthed.

• Remove the wall mounting bracket from the heater by removing the two bolts from either end of the bracket.
• Before drilling ensure that there are no wires or water pipes in the area where the heater is to be placed.
• Use the bracket as a template. Fix the met-al bracket to the wall by using a minimum of 3 holes and appropriate fixings (not supplied).
• Refit the heater back onto the bracket,
• Adjust the angle of heater to direct heat where required, between 45°and 90° (see fig.1).
• Now tighten up the two bolts tightly

PARASOL MOUNTING.
IMPORTANT! Only the QZWP30N is capable of parasol mounting. The supplied bracket for clamping to a para-sol arm. You must ensure the canvas / mate-rial of the parasol is at least 500mm away from the back of the heater and can not come into contact with high winds.

Electrical connections

WARNING: Ensure that the electrical supply is isolated and made safe before making any electrical connections. The Quartz heater must be connected to the known good earth. The terminal block earth terminal is clearly marked with the standard earth symbol.
NOTE: If Quartz heaters are NOT being used in conjunction with a Quartz driver unit then, because of the high surge currents associated with tungsten loads, it is recommended that Type ‘B’ circuit breakers are used with a current rating of 2 x the heater load. Connection to a Switched Fused Spur / Isola-tor.

• Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth connection.
• Connect the BROWN live wire to the live connection.
• Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral connection’.
• After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraints and that the restraint is tight.

Single To 3Phase.
IMPORTANT! Only the QZWP45 can be used on 3phase. Please make sure you have read the Safety instructions and you are a suitably qualified 3phase electrician before continuing.

• Open the electrical box on the back of the heater
• Undo the screw in the terminal block clamping the 3 live cables coming from the lamps.
• Move one of the cables to the terminal marked L3
• Move the second cable to the terminal marked L2
• Make sure the remaining cable is still in L1 and tighten up all the screws.
• YOU SHOULD NOT TOUCH ANY OF THE NEUTRAL CABLES COMING FROM THE LAMPS
• Now remove the main cable and replace it with a suitable rated 5 core 3phase cable. This must be a high-temperature silicon cable.
• Heater needs to be connected to L1, L2 L3, Neutral, and Earth.

Operation.
Soft start controllers are available, see product code “QSC6” or “QSC3”.
Note: The infrared lamps in this heater are fragile and as such, it is important that they are not subjected to any unnecessary shocks or vibration and is not moved when in use. Wait till the heater has cooled down before moving.

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in Section 1 before using the heater.

• Ensure the heater is at least 1000mm from any object. The heater can be tilted from 45° to 90° set it to the required angle before switching the heater on. Adjust the heater angle by loosening the two bolts on the wall mounting bracket. Tighten the bolts again when the desired angle is reached.
• Ensure that the mains supply is adequately protected and that the mounting bracket is earthed, then switch on.
• Make sure the heater is disconnected from the main supply before any cleaning is attempted. Also, allow the heater to cool completely.
• When the heater is no longer required, switch off and if possible unplug the unit.
• Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth.
• To replace any of the lamps, contact your authorized dealer.
• The mains lead is made from high-temperature cable, not a standard PVC cable and as such should not be replaced without consulting a suitably qualified electrician.

Maintenance.

Note: Before examining or carrying out any maintenance ensure the heater has cooled down and is disconnected from the mains supply.
The heater contains no moving parts and therefore very little maintenance is required other than to ensure that there is no excessive build-up of dust/dirt on the reflectors or emitters as this can cause overheating and premature emitter failure. To clean the appliance, turn off and disconnect from the mains supply, allow to cool then wipe with a damp cloth.

Spares.

Note: Spare are available from your distributer. Please quote the following Lamp codes when requesting spares.
