T
he position 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 30º to 45º to the vertical.
Location
Mounting
IMPORTANT - When deciding upon the best location, consideration must be
given to the following requirements
(A) Avoid structures liable to vibration, e.g. crane gantries which could otherwise
adversely affect lamp life
(B) The lamps are designed to operate within 5º of the horizontal plane. It is
very important to ensure that the heater is mounted horizontally, otherwise the
operating life of the lamp could be impaired.
(C) Allow a minimum of 0.5 metre clearance between the top of the heater and
the ceiling. (Dimension ‘C’ on the appliance rating label.) Allow a minimum of 1.5
metre clearance between the edge of heater and the adjacent wall facing that edge.
(Dimension ’B’ on the appliance rating label.)
(D) Ensure appliance is mounted the correct way up so that it can be tilted down
but not up.
(E) Ensure flammable materials, fabrics, etc. are kept at least 3.5 meters away from
the product when mounting at and at all times.

Mounting height: Allow the following mounting height between the base of
the heater and the floor. (Dimension ‘A’ on the appliance rating label).
NOTE: If more than one heater is to be installed, ensure that the lamps of adjacent heaters
are more than 3.5 metres apart.
