SUSPENDED CEILING MOUNTING
RP3 panel heaters can be laid in a standard 24mm 'T' bar suspended ceiling grid. When
mounting in a suspended ceiling consideration should be given to the weight across the
ceiling frame. If necessary additional support should be provided using the rear mounted
brackets.
Note:- If mounting in the very rarely used micro T bar ceiling grid 4 x 3mm thick spacers
may be required between the T bar and the edges of the panel heater to stop the heater
moving around.
3.2
CEILING MOUNTING (bracket supplied)
Panels can be hung mounted directly on to a suitable ceiling using the
supplied bracket.
Either use the bracket as a template or the above drawing and mark the
4 fixing holes using a pencil.
Attach the bracket to the ceiling using 4 suitable screws / fixings (not
supplied).
Follow steps 1 - 4 to slide the heater onto the bracket.
Once the heater is correctly on the bracket it will hang like drawing 4.
Please check that the heater is correctly supported by the bracket.
If ceiling mounting, under no circumstances must the heater be left or
turned on without securing in position as per instructions above.
3.3 HUNG MOUNTING
Dispose of the ceiling bracket. M8 or M10 hanging hooks (not supplied)
must be mounted directly to the heater using the 4 corner brackets.
Panels can then be hung from a suitable ceiling or beam using chains
or cords.
3.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
❑
IMPORTANT!

appliance must be
earthed; the supply circuit must be adequate for the input of the
appliance, and the circuit protected by a suitable fuse. If the heater is to be connected
to a fixed electricity supply, a suitable termination must be provided adjacent to the final
position of the appliance. In this instance, such a termination must be a double pole
switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles.
