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.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION:
The Herschel MIAMI may be plugged in to a waterproof socket. Any extension lead used must have sufficient
capacity to carry the current required by the heater as show in in Table 1. All plugs, sockets and switches
intended for use outdoors must have an appropriate water ingress protection.
Alternatively the plug can be removed and the unit connected to fixed mains wiring. Fixed wiring
installations must only be carried out by competent persons or a qualified electrician according to national
regulations and the unit must be earthed. The electrical supply to the unit should be provided by connecting
to a current protection device suitable for the electrical rating of the unit in accordance with Table 1 and
providing disconnection in both poles. All fixed wiring must have sufficient capacity to carry the current
required by the heater.
Always disconnect the heater from the power when not in use.
Where two or more Miami units are used on the same circuit, Herschel recommends you use a Type C circuit
breaker to handle the initial current when the heater is switched on.

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.
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’).
MOUNTING POSITION:
The Herschel MIAMI is a shortwave infrared heater characterised by a strong beam of heat suited for use in
colder areas or areas that may be subject to light winds, whilst still maintaining heating effectiveness. It is
ideal for mounting on parasols and for use on patios and in restaurant or pub gardens. When used outdoors
or other areas with air movement/wind, the directional Infrared spread may reduce by 1/3 to 1/2 from
published figures.
MIAMI has several mounting options including permanent wall / ceiling installation using the bracket
supplied; Parasol installation using our specially designed parasol bracket (sold separately) or free-standing
installation on Herschel’s heater stand (sold separately).
For all installations, the Herschel MIAMI must be located in a position to allow proper and efficient use but
one that ensures hot parts are not touched accidentally. The minimum installation height of the MIAMI
above the floor is 1.8m (71”). Under no circumstances is the unit to be installed at less than 1.8m (71”) from
the floor. Consideration should be given to any temporary or occasional structures such as stages or
platforms and adjusted accordingly.
