Installing Termini™
DEFA Termini™ is designed for permanent installation in the interior of the vehicle. Termini™ can also be installed
in the bottom of the glove compartment (
IIIb
), on the centre console or on the A-pillar. The discharge opening
may not be positioned face down (
IIIc
). Termini™ must be installed so that sufficient spacing is maintained. The
holder (
II
) is designed so that it can also be installed on uneven surfaces. Remove the holder from the underside
of Termini™ by pushing it towards the back. Install the holder with the spacer sleeves (
II-A
) in the centre of the
holder (
II
). Select the three most suitable holes in the holder and fasten the holder with the three bolts supplied.
The attachment points should be as far apart as possible. Use the enclosed drilling template. DEFA always
recommends the permanent installation of Termini™.
Do not place Termini™ on the floor (
IIId
) or pointing towards the seat (
IIIc
) if you like to obtain effective heating.
When drilling holes and installing screws to fasten the interior heater, always make sure that no cables or other
electrical components underneath will be damaged.
Feed through in the vehicle interior
On many vehicle models, the manufacturers have left openings in the bulkhead in order to accommodate the
feed through of accessories. In many cases, these openings can be used to feed through the DEFA extension
cable to the interior heater.
If it is necessary to drill a hole in the firewall of the vehicle in order to feed through the DEFA extension cable into
the interior of the vehicle from the engine compartment, extreme caution must be exercised. No holes may be
drilled in double sheeting or reinforcements.
The DEFA hole saw (Ø 20 mm) is ideal for this task. It is extremely important to ensure that the tool will not
damage any installed components, brake lines, cables, etc. The supplied rubber bushing is used to seal the area
around the cable. When installing the bushing, make sure that it is properly seated. Otherwise, water may be
able to penetrate the interior of the vehicle. Before the extension cable is fed through, make sure it is routed at a
downward angle in the engine compartment
so that no water runs into the interior of the vehicle
.
When drilling holes in the firewall, it is imperative to make sure that the tool will not damage any installed com
-
ponents, brake lines, cables, etc. No holes may be drilled in double sheeting or reinforcements. Apply a suitable
rust protection coating around the hole.
Flush installation of DEFA MiniPlug
DEFA MiniPlug must be installed in such a way that it is protected from splash water and mechanical damage,
and so that the connection cable can be easily connected. If the fitting surface is not level for the fastening nut,
the enclosed installation ring must be used. If used, the O-ring is inserted in the groove in the plastic nut or
installation ring.
For flush installation, a hole with a diameter of 24.5 mm is drilled and a guide slot with a diameter of 3 mm is filed.
Use the special tool from DEFA for this. Make sure that there is enough space on the back side for the cable and the
fastening nut. Proceed with extreme caution in order to avoid damaging installed components, cables and the like.
