THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
(IPX5)
Important Safety Advice
Because the heater contains no moving parts little
maintenance is required. Before undertaking any
maintenance work on the heater due attention must be
paid to the following:
This heater is designed to be horizontally mounted on a
wall. It must not be ceiling
mounted or
mounted vertically
under any circumstances.
Always ensure a safe mounting height, at or above a
minimum height of 1.8 metres from ground level, so that
the heater can not be touched when in operation.
The heater must be wall mounted level ± 5º to the
horizontal.
Do not locate the heater immediately above or below a
fixed socket outlet or connection box.
Always disconnect the heater from the electricity supply
before attempting to work on or near it.
Always ensure a safe means of access using an access
tower or properly supported ladder.
Do not cover the heater.
Keep combustible materials away from the heater.
Do not position patio furniture, sunshades, awnings and
other combustible materials too close to the heater.
Do not look into the heater for prolonged periods
Do not use the heater if the elements are broken - as
injury may occur.
Allow adequate time (minimum of 30 mins.) for the
elements and body casing to cool before attempting to
work on the heater.
Do not allow the supply cord to sit or hang in front of the
heater while in use.
The supply cord should be regularly examined for signs
of damage and the appliance is not to be used if the cord
is damaged.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an
assembly available from the manufacturer or service
agent.
Note: Provide sufficient slack to the cable to allow for
angular adjustment of the body.
The bulbs are extremely fragile and must be handled
with extreme care at all times. Always handle the Halogen
bulb without touching the glass (by gripping the ceramic
ends gently but firmly) to maximise bulb life. If the bulb
is accidentally touched by bare fingers remove the
fingerprint with a soft cloth moistened with methylated
spirits.
General
The CPH range of heaters are especially designed for use
on patio areas. The heaters provide warmth and comfort for
recreational areas. The CPH10 & CPH15 use halogen
elements which produce a high proportion of their output in
the short-wave infra-red spectrum. This provides a high
comfort factor – similar to the natural energy from the sun.
The IPX5 rating means the appliance is suitably rated to be
permanently installed either internally or externally.
Electrical
The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a
competent electrician and be in accordance with the current
IEE wiring regulations and any local or insurance regulations.
The CPH10 & CPH15 are designed for use on a 230-240V
AC single phase supply. A double pole isolating switch with
a minimum separation of 3mm in each pole must be fitted to
facilitate isolation. This switch must either be positioned
inside a building or have an IP rating against water ingress
suitable for external installation. The appliance must be
supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a
rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA. The
RCD should be type 3 or C rated, with a tripping coefficient of
7-10 times the rated current. Any other switching device should
be Tungsten lamp rated. The appliance must be connected
to a socket-outlet having an earthing contact (for Class I
appliances).
Installation – Wall Mounting
Heaters are supplied with an integral mounting bracket which
may be fixed through the mounting holes to any suitable
structure. The bracket allows the heater to be inclined at the
required angle. The recommended fixing height to the centre
line of the bracket is 2.0m from ground level - see
Fig. 2
. The
integral mounting bracket may be removed by fully
unscrewing to facilitate its fixing. The siting of the heater(s)
should be such as to allow an even and uninterrupted
distribution of radiation to the area(s) to be heated. Heaters
are most effective when the beam angle is inclined down at
an angle of between 30º to 45º to the vertical - see
Fig. 2
.
When deciding upon the best location, consideration must
be given to the following requirements:
a
. Avoid structures which might vibrate e.g. crane gantries.
These could adversely affect element life
b.
Comfort and safety could be compromised unless the
heater is mounted at or above 1.8m from ground level.
c
. Allow a minimum of 500mm minimum clearance between
the top of the heater and any surface - see
Fig. 1
.
Element Replacement
(see
Fig’s 3 & 4
)
WARNING – BEFORE UNDERTAKING THIS TASK ENSURE THE
HEATER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECRICITY SUPPLY
AND LEFT TO COOL FOR A MINIMUM OF 30 MINUTES.
a. Remove six screws to release both end caps - see
Fig. 3
.
b. Slide the protective guard out on either side - see
Fig. 3
.
c. Remove four screws to release both reflector ends - see
Fig. 3
.
d. Remove four screws and remove both sealing brackets -
see
Fig. 3
.
e. Lift out the lamp assembly - see
Fig. 3
.
Note: Take care not to touch the bulb with bare hands.
f. Disconnect both element wires from the terminal blocks -
see
Fig. 4
.
g. Remove the rubber ends from the lamp - see
Fig. 4
.
Replace the lamp and reverse the procedure to re-assemble
the heater.
