Ducted Gas Heater OM
• Making sure the home is well insulated. Features such as wall-to-wall floor coverings, drapes, pelmets and even
wall insulation can help reduce energy consumption. Ceiling insulation is mandatory.
• Save energy and lower gas bills by turning the heater off at night and on again in the morning.
• Keep the temperature setting low if people are active in the house. The normal operating temperature range is
17ºC to 21ºC.
• Do not leave external doors and windows open.
• Fumes from candles, fragrant oil burners, cooking or smoking may be drawn into the system (especially if the
Return Air inlet grille is in the ceiling) and can cause staining around the heating outlets. Installing an Electronic
Air Filter in the return air grille will help to avoid this problem.

Notes on Heater Operation
When the heater is first turned on, there will be a delay before warm air is delivered from the duct outlets. Allow
approximately one minute for the burners to generate heat, before the fans start. This process ensures that the air
delivered into the house is warm.
With any ducted heating system, it is not unusual to see vapour discharging from the flue terminal when the heater
is in operation. The flue terminal may be hot during operation.
This unit has been preset and tested using typical system settings. However, the installer may have varied the fan
speed settings to suit the specific installation configuration. Please consult the installer to set the heater according
to personal needs and preferences.
The network controls within the SP and BX5 model heaters automatically adapt heater output to suit the number of
outlets that are open. Check the outlet guide for the appropriate number of outlets to open for best performance.
1.6
Power Supply Interruption
If the power supply is interrupted during heater operation, a safety function turns off the gas supply. When the
power is restored, the safety function allows the heater to resume normal operation. If the power is off for more than
approximately 2 hours the networker wall control unit (if fitted) it may require the time and day to be reset.
1.7
Switch the System On
a.
Ensure the wall control unit is switched off.
b.
Ensure that the gas supply tap adjacent to the heater unit is turned on.
c.
Ensure the heater unit power plug is firmly connected to the 240V power point and switch on the power
supply.
d.
Turn the wall control unit on. The heater can now be operated from the wall control unit.
Note:
Several attempts may be required to start the heater if it is a new installation, has been shut down for an extended period, or the
gas supply has been interrupted. This is due to the need to purge air from the gas pipe.
SP and BX5 models display a busy code at the top of the networker during these ignition re-attempts. If re-ignition is not
successful, the heater locks out and a spanner icon displays. Refer to Section 10, System Messages. All heater models
automatically perform up to four re-ignition attempts before locking out, but the system may still need to be reset several times
depending on how long it takes to purge the air.
