1. For your safety
♦
Make sure that the mains power supply matches the rated inputs.
♦
Never allow animals or children to play with or touch the product. Attention! The panel may become very hot while it is working
(160°C/320°F version BT e 320°C/608°F versions HT);
♦
Warning: to avoid overheating do not cover the product. Never place any object in contact with the appliance.
♦
This product may not be used by people (children included) with reduced physical, sensorial or mental capacities, or with inadequate
experience and knowledge, unless they are under the supervision of a person responsible for their safety or have been suitably instructed
by the latter. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the product.
♦
Products do not include any ambient temperature control device. Do not use the radiant panel in small environment where there may be
people with reduced physical capacities, who are not able to leave the room by themselves and that are not constantly supervised for their
own safety.
♦
Do not use the product in rooms saturated with explosive gas, vapours generated by solvents or paints or flammable vapours/gas.
♦
Always position the product so that the plug is immediately accessible.
2. Safe positioning
♦
Only use the product in its horizontal position with the heating surface facing the floor.
♦
Never position this appliance immediately underneath a power socket. The product must hang from the ceiling, leaving at least 15 cm
between the rear surface of the product and the ceiling and 180 cm between the heating surface and the floor.
♦
Do not hang anything on the heater and do not cover it while it’s working. Leave at least 1m distance from furniture and/or objects right
beneath the product. The panel must be installed leaving at least 50 cm from the side walls.
♦
This product has a single electrical insulation construction (class I) and therefore requires an earth connection;
♦
Always make observe the minimum distances from walls, furniture and/or objects, as indicated in picture 1.
♦
Never install the product on a surface made of wood or synthetic material.
♦
This product is IP54 protected. It may therefore be used in areas subject to water and dirt.
3. Installation
♦
After carefully reading sections 1 and 2, proceed with installation using 4 steel chains that can bear the weight of the product;
♦
Inside the packaging you will find a plastic bag with 4 steel hooks to install the product (Fig. 2);
-
Fix the 4 hooks to the 4 nuts (without tighten them up to much) inside the aluminium frame placed in the back of the product;
-
Slide the hooks along the frame in the correct position, always beware of the ties reported in fig. 2;
-
Tighten the hooks screwing them firmly until they are blocked in the desired position.
♦
Choose the 4 points where the chains will be fixed for installation, according to the minimum distance in fig. 1
♦
Fix the 4 chains in the 4 chosen points using proper wall anchors or other systems that could bear the weight of the product and according
to the surface you are hanging the product to;
♦
Hang the product to the chains using proper linking methods.
4. Electrical connections
♦
Before starting a new installation always remember to disconnect electricity and be sure it can’t be switched on accidentally.
♦
Every product of this range must be installed and used by trained and authorised people.
♦
Installation must comply with safety rules in force in your country and to notices reported in this instruction leaflet. Before installing the
product make sure that the mains power supply matches the rated power inputs. The electrical connection to the mains power supply must
also include a multi-pole switch with a minimum contact distance of 3mm. As a priority, always abide you national wiring rules.
♦
Our range includes different versions of panel heaters, diversified for the number of heating elements and their power input. To make
installation more flexible and compatible with your actual electric system, every product has been provided with an external connection box
to connect phase, neutral and earth wires.
♦
In products with 2 or 3 electric heating elements, every phase is accessible through the connection block in order to:
-
Create supply circuits that allow to separately activate each single heating element, to reduce the power input in mid-season when a
reduced heating is needed.
-
Connect the product to a three-phase system, balancing power between the different phases to give constant power input to the
system
♦
For a correct installation and connection to the electric grid, it is necessary to:
1.
Choose whether to use a mono phase or a three phase connection, according to the schemes in TAB 2 and therefore define the right
number of conductors;
2.
Thoroughly select the right section of conductors for the purchased version of the product, as indicated in TAB1;
3.
Decide whether to do the connection with a power cable or through a duct (rigid or flexible) and choose the strain relief or the right
joint connector (Minimum protection degree IP54).
4.
Open the connection box (fig. 3/a),drill it through the marked point (fig. 3/b) and fix the strain relief or the joint connector (fig 3/c-d).
The diameter of the hole to drill on the connection box changes according to the dimension of either the strain relief or the joint
connector, and the hole must be drilled on the top side of the box exactly where the the point is marked.
5.
Make the necessary electric connections (fig 3/e-f) caring not to peel the conductor more than 8mm to avoid the risk of contact
between conductors. Do not screw the connection block on wires isolation sheath;
