Part 1: INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
1.
General
The infrared radiant heaters of this series are gas appliances which can operate on
natural or LPG
They conform with the European Norms ( EN 416-1:2009 ) and
The installation of the gas radiant heaters must conform with the current
national/international regulations for gas appliances and take into account the local
Building Regulations and the requirements of the local gas supply company.
Electrical installation, gas and electrical connection of the appliance must be
undertaken by qualified installers and executed in conformity with regulations in
force in the destination country of the goods.
Because there may be local differences in some of the requirements, the following
recommended installation instructions are not binding. Any necessary approval must
therefore be obtained before the installation is carried out.
2. Areas of use
The gas radiant heaters are fully automatic, direct fired appliances for ceiling or wall
mounting.
They are intended for the heating of halls and large rooms by infrared radiation: they
heat, in the same way as the sun's radiation, the body, the floor, the walls and all the
objects which their radiation reaches and which, for their part, absorb a part of the
energy radiated.
The surrounding space and the air are thus only heated minimally by convection by
the warm surfaces and objects.
Thermal inertia is thus practically eliminated.
The radiant heaters are particularly suited for installation in the following spaces:
- with installation heights between 4 and 9 m dependent on heat output (Guidance:
5.5-7 m generally recommended, dependent on model, 4m for very localised
heating, 9m for background heating)
- in which it is not wished to create any air movement
- in which various temperature ranges or heating time cycles are wanted.
Against this, installation is to be avoided in the following cases:
- installation heights under 3 and above 9-10 m
- where inflammable or explosive materials are being used or can arise
- where air flow rates above 2.5 m/s or high air or ground humidity exist
In some individual cases, the installation can still be possible if special approval is
obtained at the appropriate stage in planning.
