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 celling. 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 suspend on chains
or conduit 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.
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, minimum 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 mains 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 use.
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 controller, the LED indicator light
will turn red.
This heater can only be used in conjunction with any SL wireless
controller. Each SL controller can control any number of heaters providing
they are in the RF range.
Please refer to the SL user and operating instructions for full operational details.
