INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
A qualified electrician must carry out the electrical installation of this convector. The electrical installation
must comply with the current UK and Irish regulations. Any claim on the warranty could be invalid if these
requirements have not been met.
The convector requires a 220/240V 50/60Hz power supply, a Fused Spur must be included in the wiring to
the heater.
Connecting wires:
Brown: Live
Blue: Neutral
Yellow-Green: Earth
The connecting wires must be of the appropriate cross section, with regards to the length of cable, type of
cable and power rating of the heater (Refer to your installing electrician for details).
The Merida Heaters must be connected to the fixed wiring of the premises using a
fused
connection box fitted
with the appropriate sized fuse for the convector – see Technical Data on Page 5. If the fused connection is
also switched, the switch should provide a double pole disconnection with a minimum of 3mm contact gap.
The circuit should be protected by an appropriately rated circuit breaker or RCD and if this heater is installed
in a bathroom it
must
be supplied from a circuit that is protected by a high sensitivity RCD with a maximum
rating of 30mA.
We recommend that the connection box is positioned 10cm to the right of the heater and 15cm above the
floor.
LOCATION
T
he ideal place to site the heater is as close as possible to
coolest wall in the room but it is not recommended to site
the heater on un-insulated exterior walls, in this case, the
part of the wall behind the heater should be insulated.
In bathrooms, the heaters must not be sited inside the
protected area. The control unit switches must not be
reachable, directly or indirectly, by a person in the bath or
shower.
The heater, under no circumstances, should be installed
below an electric power point.
Choose the location of the heater with respect to the
minimum distances that are indicated in Figure 1 (Right).
Note: If a window sill protrudes less than 20mm the gap
above the heater can be reduced to 10mm.
MOUNTING THE HEATER
In order to mount the heater on the wall, first attach the mounting bracket
supplied with the appliance to the wall.
Remove the bracket attached to the back of the heater by pressing on the
two clips on the top of the bracket to release them from the upper holes on
the back of the heater. Once the upper bracket is released, withdraw the
lower part of the mounting bracket. See Figure 2.
1. Stand the mounting bracket on the floor and measure the distance from
the wall using the information in
Table 1
below
.
Mark the top holes, as
shown in Figure 3a.
Remove the bracket and drill and plug the wall for the fixing screws.
