3 Installation .
Observe safety requirements during heater
installation.
3.1 Mounting Location
The heater may be installed both in- and outside the
vehicle, provided it is protected from water ingress.
For outside mounting the heater should be installed in
an area protected from water and dirt. The heater must be
installed in a way preventing direct water ingress (e. g.
when the vehicle crosses water barriers).
Heater dimensions are shown in Figures 5-8.
3.2 Heater Installation
Mounting positions should be in accordance with
those shown in Fig.9-12. The intake of the heater should be
positioned in such a way that, under normal operating
conditions, exhaust gases of the engine or of the heater could
not be sucked into it.
During installation and operation of the heater, intake
and outlet of the heater should be protected against foreign
objects getting into them.
When installing the air ducts to the heater, they should
not have deformations, reducing the flow area of the duct.
The maximum length of the output duct should not exceed
5 meters in total.
Install the heater in a way to prevent contact with
protruding parts of the floor or other cabin
structures.
Do not connect air lines to
PLANAR-8DM air heaters.
3.3 Mounting Holes.
For heaters PLANAR-2D, PLANAR-4DM2 and
PLANAR-44D, holes in the body of the vehicle should be
made as shown in Fig.12. The heater may be installed using
mounting plates* shown on Fig. 11. In this case, existing studs
inside the heater must be replaces with long studs.
Cut the opening inside the vehicle body (in case the side
wall/floor is not thicker than 3 mm) for PLANAR-8DM heater
installation as shown on Fig. 12.With the thickness of the
vehicle body (floor) of more than 3мм, installation of the
heater requires the following:
1. Cut a rectangular hole in the vehicle body sized 180×95
mm
2. To attach a mounting bracket* to the heater (this bracket
can be made of steel sheet at least 2.5mm thick, see Fig.12);
3. Install the exhaust pipe, air intake, and fuel line to
the heater and fasten the whole assembly to the body of
the vehicle
