HEATING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CEILING & WALL MOUNTING

• Application for land and coastal installations ONLY
•  Heaters must be installed according to the minimum installation clearances shown in these diagrams

The stated clearance to combustible materials represents the surface temperature of 149°F above room temperature. Building material with a low heating tolerance (such as plastic, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply ect.) may be subject to degradation at a lower temperature. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure that adjacent materials are protected.

WARNING
MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN HEATERS MEASURED FROM EDGE OF HEATER MUST BE AT LEAST 500mm (20”)

WARNING – Outdoor Installation
This heater MUST be permanently installed by an authorized/licensed person. Do not perform maintenance, or carry out installation or assembly procedures while electrical power is switched on. Wait 2 hours after switching off the heater before handling.

WARNING – Outdoor Installation
It is important that regular maintenance is carried out on the heater to maintain appearance. INSPECT AND CLEAN AT LEAST EVERY MONTH FOR THE BODY AND STRUCTURE.
INSPECT AND CLEAN MORE FREQUENTLY IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS SUCH AS COASTAL ENVIRONMENT.

Standard Variants
Ensure that the heating unit is not directly exposed to rain or water contact. For the longest product life and to maintain product appearance, mount the heater undercover and protect from rain and weather.

Marine Variants
In a salt-air environment, such as near an ocean, corrosion occurs more quickly than normal.
Stainless 316 has been used in the Marine confi duration.
Remove salt spray from the heater immediately to prolong heater life. Use a qualifi ed technician to check monthly for corroded areas and remove from service when heater safety is compromised.

HEATING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1. Unscrew and remove plug-in wall bracket (a).

2.  Attach extra supplied cable gland into the same hole from the outside of the bracket. Fasten in place with the metal cable gland nut from inside the bracket (b).
   To exit the cable through the wall bracket directly into your ceiling or wall cavity, start from step 3.

3.  Attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall using fasteners appropriate for the surface (c). Ensure the bracket is fi firmly secured with fasteners in all 4 holes before proceeding. For wall mounting, ensure the silver plug or cable gland (a) is facing upwards.
   WARNING: The bracket mounting surface MUST be protected from rain. This is necessary to stop water from entering the bracket & maintain the specifi ed IP rating.

4.  Ensure M6x14mm screws are inserted into both sides of the heater bracket with 6mm (0.3”) of the threaded shaft exposed under the screw head (d).

5.  For cable exit through the side of the wall bracket: feed heater power cable through cable gland in-wall bracket (e).

6.  For cable exit into the ceiling or wall cavity: make a small hole in the black foam on the bracket mounting surface to pass the cable through. Make an electrical connection now or feed the cable into the wall or ceiling for subsequent connection (f). This is described under ‘Electrical Installation’ on page 11.

7.  Insert heater bracket into the mounting bracket by hooking M6 screws into place in mounting slots
   
   
   NOTE: This is easier when the top of the cable gland is completely removed when feeding the cable through the bracket. The cap can then be inserted onto the cable for fastening

HEATING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.  To fi x heater at the desired angle, fully insert M3x10mm positioning screws (included with wall bracket) on both sides of mounting bracket whilst holding heater in the desired position (h). The heater can be positioned straight, or be angled 30deg either way.
2.  Fit the smaller cover over the heater bracket so that the slots pass over the shafts of the M6x14mm mounting screws (i). Fit the larger cover over the smaller cover in the same way from the opposite side of the bracket (j). Use angled covers if the heater is angled. Use straight covers if the heater is not angled.
3. Tighten mounting M6 screws fi rmly, ensuring covers fi t snugly against the bracket on all sides (k).

HEATING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ENSURE THE CORRECT CEILING RECESS KIT IS BEING USED. REFER TO THE TABLE ON PAGE 9 FOR MORE INFO.

1. Prepare ceiling cut-out with dimensions from images on P.11 to fi t ceiling recess frame (a). The heater must be installed with a heater surface at least 2400mm (94”) above the fl oor level, with 500mm (20”) clearance to the nearest wall on all sides of the heater. Minimum distances to combustibles within the cavity must be according to only one of the two options shown.
2. From below, bring the ceiling frame up and into the ceiling cutout. Fasten ceiling frame into cut-out at both ends and center using appropriate screws (b). Which locator hole to use is dictated by the thickness of the ceiling surface. The fastening screws must be inserted into a strong material that can easily support the weight of the heater. Your installation may require re-enforcing before the frame can be safely installed.
3. Unscrew and remove the plug-in wall bracket. Attach extra supplied cable gland into the same hole from the outside of the bracket. Fasten in place with metal cable gland nut from inside the bracket (c).
4. Feed heater power cable through cable gland from inside of wall bracket (d).
5.  Ensure M6x14mm screws are inserted into either side of the heater bracket with 6mm (0.3”) of the threaded shaft exposed under the screw head. (e).
6. Insert heater bracket into the mounting bracket by hooking M6 screws into place in mounting slots (f).
7. Fix heater to bracket in straight position using M4x10mm positioning screws on either side of mounting bracket (g). Ensure M6 screws are sitting fully in the mounting slots (as if the heater were hanging from the wall bracket).
8. Fit the smaller, straight cover over the heater bracket so that the slots pass over the shafts of the M6x14mm mounting screws (h). Fit the larger cover over the smaller cover in the same way from the opposite side of the bracket
9.  Tighten mounting screws fi rmly, ensuring covers fi t snugly against the bracket on all sides (j).
10. . Firmly tighten the cable gland in-wall bracket so that the cable does not move when pulled.
