Method 2 (Alternative Option)
This method may be used as an alternative only when the side and end clearances shown in the preferred method
are not achievable.
Top
A minimum clearance of 800mm must be provided between the heater roof and any obstruction above the heater.
The clearance must be maintained for the entire length of the heater.
Side
A platform is to extend 750mm out from the gas connection side for the full length of the heater. A minimum service
clearance of 350mm is required in front of the fan compartment on the gas inlet side of the heater.
Note:
All minimum service height clearances are to the underside of the rafters or any obstruction.
Method 3 (Lay down)
In addition, all StarPro internal units can be installed with an option to lay the unit on its side. The unit must be
installed with the lay down kit provided by Brivis. When the kit is purchased it will include all components needed to
lay the unit on its side as well as complete detailed instructions.
Service clearances for StarPro (Using Brivis laydown kit):
Front
• A minimum of 750mm must be provided in front of the unit for the entire surface area of the controls access panel
Sides
• A minimum clearance of 300mm must be provided at the supply air end to access the condensate drain (HX
models only)
Top
• Where unit is installed beneath floor, there must be a minimum clearance of 200mm between the unit and the
lowest part of the floor structure.
• 700mm from ground level to the underside of the floor joists or bearers must be maintained in front of the unit for
access.
Platform
• When installed on a combustible surface, the heater must rest on a fire-resistant board (at least 6mm thick) which
complies with AS 5601 and that is as large as the heater and extend at least 300mm beyond the appliance in front
of the louvres or fixed opening in the roof. There must be an air gap of no less than 25mm between the bottom
of the heater and the board.
2.3 Splitting Internal Model Heaters
The StarPro Max/Plus Internal model heaters can be split in half to allow for ease of installation. To split the heater,
follow these simple instructions:
• Remove the heater’s roof after removing the 4 roof screws.
• Disconnect the speed sensor loom from the control board and remove it from the heat exchanger cabinet.
• Remove the main fan motor and speed sensor loom access plate located on top of the fan cabinet
compartment by removing the single screw.
• Unplug the main fan loom at the connection located inside the access hole which has just been uncovered.
• Remove the 2 screws fastening the fan cabinet tabs to the heat exchanger cabinet. These are located at the
top of the fan cabinet on the heater’s split line.
• Pivot the fan cabinet upwards high enough to dislodge the lower locking tabs fixed to the fan cabinet near
the base.
• The heater is now split in two.
• Protect the exposed looms and tabs from damage while the heater is split in two parts.
• Once ready, reassemble in reverse order.
Note:
Ensure when reassembling the heater that everything is put back and connected correctly.
