If in doubt, do not install.
Herschel Infrared Ltd shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injury caused or
resulting from inadequate fitting or incorrect placement of heaters close to water sources.
POSITIONING:
This is an infrared panel heater. It heats objects by transferring energy directly from the heater into the object.
Therefore, consider placing the heater where it will not be immediately obstructed by objects like furniture or
where it cannot effectively radiate out, such as at the edge or in the corners of a room. Objects placed in front
of the heater will heat up and can prevent effective heat dispersion into the room. Avoid placing it opposite
windows or open doorways.
Only specific models are designed for ceiling mounting, please check with your local dealer before mounting to
the ceiling.
Herschel Glass panels consist of ESG (security glass). This is a special mechanically stabilized glass, which will
break in small, edgeless pieces. The mounting location should be chosen in such a way that the glass cannot be
accidentally broken and people will not be in danger from a possible break in the glass.
The minimum distance from the back side of the panel must be 25 mm to the mounting surface. This will always
be the case if the mounting hardware provided is used.
If mounting in a ceiling grid do not place insulation material directly onto the rear of the panel.
Objects in front of the panel must be at least 400mm away and 200 mm away from the sides. The distance from
the sides of the heater must also be respected if it is intended to recess the heater into the wall or ceiling. Failure
to do so will cause excess heat to build up behind the heater and will void the warranty.
The distance between the sides of the heater and the sides of any adjacent heater must be a minimum of
800mm. Failure to do so could cause excess heat to build up behind the heaters and will void the warranty.
INSTALLATION:
WARNING:
Installation should only be carried out by trained and approved engineers or competent persons.
If the heating panel is being hard wired (so the plug is removed), the electrical installation should only be carried
out by suitably qualified personnel.
Wiring to this appliance must be connected in accordance with the relevant national electrical safety standards.
It is a Class 1 appliance and must be earthed.
When placed in public areas, installation must comply with relevant local electrical standards. For certain public
buildings like schools and care homes the heaters must be installed according to the specific legislation for these
types of buildings.
The electrical supply to the unit should be provided by connecting to a circuit protected by a fuse or residual
current device (RCD) or Ground Fault circuit interrupter (GFCI ) suitable for the electrical rating of the appliance.
Temperature control must be effected by a Thermostat.
Colour coding used in the supplied mains cable: BROWN wire is to be connected to LIVE (‘L’), the BLUE wire to
NEUTRAL (‘N’) and the GREEN/YELLOW wire to EARTH (‘E’).
CAUTION:
Ensure mains power is OFF before commencing an installation involving fixed wiring.
Any fixed wiring outside the heater coming into contact or close proximity to the heater must be protected
by sleeving with a temperature rating of at least 90°c.
