PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR NEW FITTING PLEASE RETAIN
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
READ THIS FIRST:
This heater is designed as a low wattage solution for localised background
heat and frost protection, it is not a general purpose room heater.
If the heater is to be used continuously it must be used with a thermostat
to control the switching operation. Otherwise, continuous use will overuse the
thermal cut-out safety feature which is designed to protect the heater, not to
control room temperature.
Check the pack and make sure you have all of the parts listed on the front of
this booklet. If not, contact the outlet where you bought this product.
This product must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the
current building and IEE wiring regulations. As the buyer, installer, and/or
user of this product it is your own responsibility to ensure that this fitting
is fit for the purpose for which you have intended it. Eterna Lighting cannot
accept any liability for loss, damage or premature failure resulting from
inappropriate use. This product is designed and constructed according to the
principles of the appropriate British Standard and is intended for normal
domestic service. Using this fitting in any other environments may result in a
shortened working life. This product is designed for wall mounting and must be
used horizontally this heater should not be used vertically and should not be
used as a free standing portable appliance. If the heater is to be installed
in a location where it may be touched or handled or could cause injury, we
recommend fitting a protective guard (available from Eterna). The mounting
position should allow the free movement of air around the heater. Obstructing
the air flow could result in overheating. Switch off the mains before
commencing installation and remove the appropriate circuit fuse or lock off
MCB. This unit is suitable for indoor use only. This product is not suitable
for bathroom use. This product is designed for permanent connection to fixed
wiring: this must be a suitable circuit (protected with the appropriate MCB or
fuse). This product is suitable for installation on surfaces with normal
flammability e.g. wood, plasterboard, and masonry. It is not suitable for use
on highly flammable surfaces (e.g. polystyrene, textiles). Before making
fixing hole(s), check that there are no obstructions hidden beneath the
mounting surface such as pipes or cables.
Make sure that the fixings are strong enough to support the considerable
weight of the fitting and hold it rigidly. Do not site the heater directly
beneath a mains outlet socket. This product must be connected to earth
termination.
WARNING – To avoid overheating, do not cover the heater.
This tubular heater is not intended to be used by children and persons with
sensory, physical and/or mental impairments that would prevent them from using
it safely. Small children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with this tubular heater. If you have made a fixed connection to the mains,
you are advised at every stage of your installation to double-check any
electrical connections you have made. After you have completed your
installation there are electrical tests that should be carried out, these
tests are specified in the current IEE wiring and building regulations. When
first used, there may be a burning off of excess sealant. This will only occur
on first use.
INSTALLATION – SINGLE HEATER:
-
Choose the location for your new heater giving consideration to all of the points above.
-
Fit the mounting brackets on to the fitting and slide towards each end of the heater. (See opposite for assembly diagram).
-
Hold the heater against the mounting surface and mark the position of the fixing holes.
-
Remove the mounting brackets.
-
Use a spirit level to check holes are level.
-
Make fixing holes using an appropriate sized drill bit.
-
Insert the plastic plugs and secure the bottom part of the bracket using the screws supplied. If the screws supplied are not appropriate for your installation, choose suitable alternatives.
-
Rest the heater onto the mounting brackets and secure in place.
-
Make connections to the electrical supply in accordance with the following code:
Live – Brown or Red
Neutral – Blue or Black
Earth – Green and Yellow -
Restore the power supply and switch on.
INSTALLATION – MULTIPLE HEATERS:
- Follow the directions for fitting a single heater. See below diagram for minimum spacing distances between heaters.
- Loosen the gland nut on the mains supply cap.
- Take out the screw at the end of the heater and slowly slide off the mains supply cap, taking care not to pull the wires out of the terminals. Ease the cable through the gland nut as you do this.
- Remove the top knockout on the mains supply cap and fit the spare cable gland nut. The gland nut should be inserted with the short thread entering the cap and the large nut remaining on the outside.
- Tighten the gland nut securely but take care not to over tighten.
- Check the length of cable required between the two heaters and cut to length giving sufficient spare cable to enter the first heater.
- Loosen the small section of the new cable gland nut and thread the cable through.
- Strip back the cable end with approximately 25mm of coloured insulation showing and approximately 5mm of bare conductors.
- Make the connections to the heater making sure that both supply and through connections are secure and that there are no strands of wire protruding from the terminal block.
- Secure the spare cable clamp in position.
- Secure the mains supply cap back in position threading both cables back through the gland nuts.
- Tighten the gland nut assemblies.
- Secure the cable between the two heaters. Make sure that the cable does not rest on top of the heater.
- Repeat for each additional heater.
- A maximum of 1000 Watts total may be connected together. Add together the total Wattage of all interconnected heaters and ensure the maximum is not exceeded.
- If daisy-chaining heaters together, the fuse in the spur may need to be changed:
For Wattages up to 600, a 3A fuse must be fitted.
For Wattages over 600, a 5A fuse must be fitted.
