HEATING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CEILING & WALL MOUNTING

• Heaters must be installed according to the minimum installation clearances shown in these diagrams.
• Heaters must be away from the fourth wall.

The stated clearance to combustible materials represents surface temperature of 149º F above room temperature. Building material with a low heat tolerance (such as plastic, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply etc.) may subject to degradation at 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 20″
WARNING – Outdoor Installation
This heater MUST be permanently installed by an authorised/licenced person. Do not perform maintenance, or carry out installation or assembly procedure while electrical power is switched on. Wait 2 hours after switching off the heater before handling.
WARNING – Outdoor Installation
Ensure that the heating unit is not directly exposed to rain or water contact. For longest product life and to maintain product appearance, mount heater under cover and protect from rain and weather.

OPTION 1
To exit the cable through the side of the wall
mounting bracket, start from step 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).
   NOTE: Continue to step 3 below
   
   OPTION 2
   To exit the cable through the wall bracket directly into your ceiling or wall cavity, start from step 3.

3. Attach mounting bracket to ceiling or wall using fasteners appropriate for the surface (c). Ensure the bracket is 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 entering the bracket & maintain IPX4 rating.

4. Ensure M6x0.6” screws are inserted into both sides of heater bracket with 6mm 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).
   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.

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 electrical connection now or feed cable into wall or ceiling for subsequent  connection (f). This is described under ‘Electrical Installation’ on page 11.

7. Insert heater bracket into mounting bracket by hooking M6 screws into place in mounting slots (g).
   

8. To fix heater at desired angle, fully insert M3x0.4” positioning screws (included with wall bracket) on both sides of mounting bracket whilst holding heater in the desired position (h). The heater can positioned straight, or be angled 30deg either way.

9. Fit the smaller cover over the heater bracket so that the slots pass over the shafts of the M6x0.6” 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 heater is angled. Use straight covers if heater is not angled.

10. Tighten mounting M6 screws firmly, ensuring covers fit snugly against the bracket on all sides (k).

CEILING RECESS (SOLD SEPARATELY)

WARNING
Instructions below are suitable for ceiling surfaces 0.4-1.2” thick. For ceiling surfaces thicker than 1.2” , contact Bromic for alternative installation options.
WARNING
The heater shall, under no circumstance, be covered with insulating material or similar material.
WARNING
Individual clearances to combustibles are fixed minimums to each individual option and cannot be combined between Option 1 and Option 2
WARNING
The heater must be completely protected against water contact from above.
WARNING
Joists, beams and rafters shall not be cut or notched to install the heater.
WARNING
MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN HEATERS MEASURED FROM EDGE OF HEATER MUST BE AT LEAST 20″

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES OPTION 1

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES OPTION 2

1. Prepare ceiling cut-out with dimensions from images on P.9 to fit ceiling recess frame (a). Heater must be installed with heater surface at least 2400mm above the floor level, with 500mm clearance to the nearest wall on all sides of the heater. Minimum distances to combustibles within cavity must be according to only one of the two options shown.
   

2. From below, bring ceiling frame up and into ceiling cutout. Fasten ceiling frame into cut-out at both ends and centre 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 reenforcing before the frame can be safely installed.

3. Unscrew and remove 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 heater bracket with 6mm of the threaded shaft exposed under the screw head. (e).

6. Insert heater bracket into 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 (i).

9. Tighten mounting screws firmly, ensuring covers fit snugly against the bracket on all sides (j).

10. Firmly tighten cable gland in wall bracket so that cable does not move when pulled.
    

CEILING RECESS (SOLD SEPARATELY)

11. Attach the bracket end-cap to the wall bracket using the 4 M5 screws and nuts provided (k).
12. Carefully remove the 4 M5 screws fastening the heater mounting bracket to the back of the heater. Be careful not to move or put any force on the bracket. Place the 2 halves of the ceilling recess mounting plate over the screwholes. Re-insert the screws & tighten firmly. (l)
13. Make electrical connection from heater to power supply. This is described under ‘Electrical Installation’
14. Raise one long side of heater up into ceiling frame cavity & then raise whole heater into cavity. (m)
15. Rotate the heater into level position in the ceiling cavity (n) and then lower down onto the ceiling frame . Ensure the heater brackets are hooked over the ceiling frame and sitting in the slots on both sides. (o)

TUBE SUSPENSION

• Heater must be installed with heater surface at least 94” above the floor level.
• Installation is identical to ‘Ceiling & Wall Mounting’ above.
