Wiring to this unit must be connected in accordance with the relevant national electrical safety standards
and must be earthed. The electrical supply to the unit should be provided by connecting to a circuit
protected by a fuse or miniature circuit breaker suitable for the electrical rating of the unit in accordance
with Tables 1 or 2.

Aspect XL3
The supply to the heater must be switched separately using a switch appropriately rated for the load and
supply voltage. A switched fused spur may also be used on existing ring main circuits where the load current
is less than 13A. In both cases, the switch must be double pole (disconnecting both live and neutral
conductors) and form part of the fixed wiring in the installation in accordance with applicable wiring
regulations. The spur fuse should also be rated in accordance with the appropriate table. In either case the
switch used to operate the Herschel Aspect XL must be indoors and readily accessible.
The cable used to connect to the existing wiring should be correctly rated solid core wiring cable. Please
note that the use of flexible appliance cable with stranded conductors for permanent wiring (except for the
final connection between a cable outlet and the fixed equipment) is prohibited by IEE wiring regulations.
Where applicable, these regulations preclude the use of a 13A plug and socket for powering the Herschel
Aspect XL. For the final connection to the Herschel Aspect XL, only the flexible cable and cable entry supplied
with the unit must be used. The cable must connect to the supply in a suitable enclosure or cable outlet
designed for that purpose. The cable outlet current carrying capacity must be greater than the
recommended fuse current rating given in Table 1 or Table 2.
If the flexible cable is taken through a wall for connection purposes, suitable conduit or mechanical
protection must be used through the wall to protect the cable from mechanical damage within the wall. The
mounting position of the unit must ensure that any mechanical damage to the flexible cable is unlikely. Any
exposed flexible cable is to hang down (not tied UP) and must have adequate clearance from the heater to
prevent scorching or damaging the cable.

MOUNTING POSITION:
The Herschel Aspect XL must be located in a position to allow proper and efficient use but one that ensures
hot parts are not touched accidentally. The recommended installation height of the Aspect XL is 2.3m to
2.5m (90”-98”) from the floor and under no circumstances is it to be installed at less than 1.8m from the
floor. In all cases it should be installed at a height where it cannot be touched in operation. Consideration
should be given to any temporary or occasional additions such as stages or platforms, and the height should
be adjusted accordingly. The Herschel Aspect XL should be firmly and permanently attached to the wall using
the bracket supplied, with the heaters angled down at 60° from vertical (see diagram 1). The bracket allows
