Heaters are supplied with a universal bracket which may be fixed through the mounting
holes to any suitable structure. The bracket allows the heater to be inclined to the
required angle from the vertical and permits the heater to be swivelled laterally. It is
recommended that when inclined from the vertical and swivelled care is taken to ensure
that the lamps are still horizontal.
WARNING: These heaters are designed to be wall mounted only - they must not be
ceiling mounted. They most not be mounted in a room containing a bath
or shower. Do not mount heaters closer than 3.5 meters from curtains or
similar soft furnishings.
Mounting Brackets
Wiring to the heater must be installed in compliance with the requirement of the wiring
regulations and any local or insurance regulations.
All heaters are suitable for use on 230-240V single phase supplies. The 4.5kW model is
supplied as a dual voltage unit and is also suitable for use on 415V three phase supplies.
Heaters must be protected by fuses to the following rates:
Wiring between the heater and the spur outlet or isolation switch must be in a heat
resisting cable (e.g. butyl rubber or high temperature PVC insulated). Sufficient slack
cable must be left to allow for angular adjustment of the heater body.
An all-pole isolating switch with a minimum separation of 3mm in each pole must be
fitted adjacent to the heater to facilitate local isolation.
If miniature circuit breakers are to be used, to avoid ‘nuisance tripping’ due to the high
in rush at switch on, a type 3 or ‘C’ rated MCB with a tripping coefficient of 7-10 times
rated current should be used. Any other switching device should be Tungsten lamp
load rated.
4.5kW heaters must be connected in accordance with the instructions. When connecting
to 415V three phase supplies the links must be removed from the terminal block. When
using the heater on 230-240V supplies the “Danger 415V” notice should be removed
from the terminal cover.
* Always ensure that the cable grip is tightened. *
