Manual reset of the internal electric heater(s); replacement of electric heater(s)

In the event of overtemperature of the resistive elements, a manual reset of the heater thermal protection could be needed. There are two release buttons (one suitable for horizontal unit, one for vertical unit), placed on the frame of the electric heater and they can be approachable by the end filter panels (fig. 17); to facilitate this service, a screwdriver can be used. In case of replacing of the heater operate as follows :

  • remove the middle panel also
  • disconnect the heater by the fast connector
  • by 5 mm Allen key remove the closure element of the sliding guide of the heater
  • remove the heater by side; depending on unit size, heater can be composed of 90°-articulated elements in order to operate within the gap spaces as described in the previous 4.3
  • replace the heater with a new one following the opposite sequence

Removal of roof cover (QRCE vertical unit)

In the event of outdoor installation, access to upper panels is possible by preventive removal of the roof cover; this is fixed on each upper side by M6 screws, for which a 5 mm Allen key is needed (fig. 18).
