Models These units are 1035mm wide 4.5kW & 6kW modular heaters designed for mounting above doorways and similar entrances and may be used as space heaters. 622mm wide 3kW and 4.5kW modules are also available.
Thermally Operated Cut-Out
The appliance is fitted with a thermally operated cut-out (TOC). This is a
safety device, which switches the heater off if, for any reason, the
appliance overheats. The TOC can only be re-set after the appliance has cooled
down. In order to reset the TOC, proceed as follows:
- Switch off appliance at mains and leave for approximately 10 minutes.
- Switch appliance back on and TOC will reset.
- Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly.
If the TOC control operates again, the appliance should be checked by a competent electrician. The heater carries a ‘Do Not Cover’ label to warn the user that if the appliance is covered, there is a risk of overheating.
Maintenance
Always ensure that the main external electricity supply is switched off before attending to the servicing of your Claudgen heater. To obtain the best results from your heater it is necessary to avoid the build-up of dust and dirt within the unit and on the air inlet and discharge grilles. For this reason, regular cleaning is necessary, paying particular attention to the removal of dirt build-up on the rotor blades. A single drop of light oil should be applied to the motor bearing from time to time.
If Your Heater Does Not Work
- Check that power is available to the heater. The LED light should be illuminated
- Check that the thermal cut-out has not operated. Follow the reset instructions given under the section headed ‘Thermal Operated Cut-out’.
- Check that the fuse in the spur unit has not blown. This can be done by replacing the fuse with another suitable fuse.
Should none of the above remedies work, then telephone the helpline number shown in these instructions (UK ONLY). Do not attempt to repair the heater.
Connection to the Main Supply
Electrical installation should be carried out by a competent installer,
preferably registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical
Installation Contracting) in accordance with the 17th edition of the IEE
Wiring Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant Local Authority Bye-Laws. The
heat zone can be connected in a number of ways depending on the form of
control required. Whichever method is used, it must be permanently connected
to the electricity supply via a double pole switch having a 3mm gap on each
pole. There are no exceptions. A switched Fused Connection unit to BS.1363.
Part 4 is a recommended mains supply connection accessory to ensure compliance
with safety requirements applicable to the fixed-wiring installation.
Note: When switched on for the first time the appliance may emit a slight
smell. This is purely the evaporation of a fluid used in the manufacturing
process. WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Mounting
When mounted over a standard shop doorway the unit should be fitted as low as
possible and not more than 2.3 meters from ground level. A single
the unit will provide reasonable coverage for a one-metre doorway, and for
wider doorways units can be mounted end to end.
The unit should be positioned so that the airflow is not obstructed by any
part of the doorframe.
Installation
Carefully unpack the unit and remove the top cover fixing screws.
The heater may be mounted using the mounting bracket provided.
Loosen mounting screws, allowing the mounting bracket to be removed from the
unit. Make sure that the mounting bracket is horizontal, fix the
bracket to the wall using 4 x No 8 wood screws.
Place the unit on the mounting bracket ensuring the washers are spaced as
shown in diagram 2 (a plain washer on either side of the mounting bracket).
Tighten screws to hold the unit at the required angle.
Wall bracket assembly
The heater may also be mounted directly onto a suitable wall or bearer by four No. 8 wood screws through the holes provided in the back of the unit casing. Keyhole slots are provided for the top two fixings.
Electrical connections
These units are suitable for connection to a 230/240 volt 50 Hz single phase ac supply. The heaters consume 4.5kW & 6kW respectively at 240 volts when switched to the full heat position.
Model HE8320RX – 4.5kW
Model HE7426RX – 6kW
The appliance should be connected to the supply via a circuit in which there
is an all-pole switch. Test for correct operation and refit the cover.
Wiring diagram
NOTE: The unit MUST be reliably earthed.
Controls
When the appliance is connected to the mains supply and the wall socket is
switched ‘ON’ the mains neon indicator will light, showing that the power is
available to the unit.
Operation
This heater can only be used in conjunction with a CRXSL wireless programmable
controller.
Each CRXSL can control any number of heaters in the same room.
CRXSL wireless controller
To replace the fan heater assembly
Remove the top cover.
Disconnect the internal wiring from the main terminal block and earth stud.
Release the three fixings which secure the switch bracket to the right hand of
the main case.
Remove the four nuts and washers fixing the fan heater assembly to the back of
the case.
The fan heater assembly can now be eased forward and removed from the heater
case.
Fit replacement fan heater and reassemble in reverse order.
Noise levels
Sound pressure levels dBA is measured at a 3m distance with a single air
curtain mounted at its maximum mounting height, operating in a room with
average acoustic characteristics as defined in CIBSE Guide B5 (reverberation
time 0.7s at 1kHz) and a room size equivalent to 8 air changes per hour
(ac/h). The dB meter must not be in the direct airflow of the heater. Care
needs to be taken when selecting air curtains for an installation as noise
levels can be several dB higher if the mounting height is reduced, if the room
is more ‘live’ (i.e. hard surfaces, no furnishings or absorbent materials), if
the room is smaller than 8 ac/h equivalent or a combination of these factors.
Noise levels will also increase if more than one air curtain is installed at
the same doorway (e.g. +3dBA for 2 equal point sources: direct field).
Please refer to the CRXSL installation and control guide for full operational
details.
