SPECIFICATIONS
One design, two comfort solutions. The Allegro is a natural
convection unit with a unique design and all the CONVECTAIR
advantages. Use it with the optional CONVECTAIR Programmer
module (pilot wire) allowing scheduled temperature set-backs in
periods of prolonged absence. Same comfort, more savings.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
CONVECTAIR recommends that the Allegro be installed by
a qualified electrician, in accordance with national codes,
local authority having jurisdiction.
If you plan to control the Allegro with CONVECTAIR’s
Programmer module, the installation must be done using
three-conductor wiring (3/12). You may also use regular
two-conductor wire combined with a FAS 105 2/18 using only
one of the two wires (please refer to the installation guide of
the Programmer 7392 or contact CONVECTAIR for more
information).
1. Choose the location where the Allegro will be installed
(Fig. 2).
It must be installed 4 in (10 cm) from the floor.
2. Ensure that there are no restrictions to the minimum
clearances permitted which are: 20 in (52 cm) in front,
6 in (15 cm) on each side and 4 in (10 cm) on top
of the Allegro.
INSTALLATION
To avoid unnecessary length of cable behind the unit, be sure
that the supply cable comes out from the wall at the correct height
(Fig. 4)
. Should the unit be installed on an outside wall, it is
suggested to take out the supply wire behind the middle of the
unit since it is hard to reinsert excess wiring in an outside wall.
1. Free the mounting bracket by pressing and pulling both
locking brackets
(Fig. 2)
.
2. Use the mounting bracket as a template by holding against
the wall flush to the floor. Use the B mark to locate the
bottom fasteners
(Fig. 1)
.
3. Relocate the mounting bracket to match the marks with the
holes for the bottom fasteners.
4. Make sure that the mounting bracket is level then mark
the 3 or 4 holes for fastening.
5. Place the mounting bracket and fasten it with screws.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Fig. 3)
WARNING: This unit must be connected to a 240V or
208V circuit. Disconnect the power supply before making
wiring connections to prevent electrical shock or
equipment damage.
CONVECTAIR recommends that
the Allegro be installed by a qualified electrician, in
accordance with national codes, local authority
having jurisdiction.
Access to the junction box is reached by an access trap situated
at the rear on the Allegro
(Fig. 4)
.
1. Unscrew and remove the plate cover.
2. Connect the ground
(copper)
wire to the
green
wire
inside the junction box, use wire connectors (included).
3. Connect the
black
wire from the wall with the
black
wire from the junction box.
4. Connect the
red
wire from the wall with the
red
wire from
the junction box
.
5. You will find, in the junction box, a
purple
wire with a
sealed end. This wire must not be used for electrical
connection. This wire will be used only if the Allegro is
connected to CONVECTAIR’s Programmer module.
6. Carefully put back all wires inside the junction box,
slide the cover back in place and tighten.
7. Hook the Allegro onto the mounting bracket tabs with
the unit slightly angled towards you. Push the Allegro
towards the wall until it is engaged on both locking
brackets.
OPERATING CONTROLS
When the function selector is set to any other position than
“
OFF
”, the unit is automatically turned “
ON
”.
The pilot lamp , located near the thermostat, will indicate
when the unit is operating.
SETTING THE THERMOSTAT
The thermostat setting dial, situated on the control box, is
accessible when the protective cover is opened. To set the
thermostat, adjust setting dial to desired comfort level (between
5 and 7).
After approximately an hour of use, if adjustment is not
satisfactory, slightly turn the dial either left or right to raise or
lower temperature to the desired comfort level.
LOCKING THE SETTING DIAL AND THE COVER
(Fig. 4)
First, detach the unit from the wall bracket. Behind the setting dial,
two pins are provided. Remove the pins with pliers by rotating
gently.
To lock the setting dial at your desired comfort level, insert a locking pin
in the hole located in the middle at the bottom of the setting dial.
To block the setting between the minimum and a desired maximum
setting, find the hole located in the middle at the bottom of the
setting dial and put a locking pin in the hole on its right.
To lock the cover, insert the locking screwin the upper corner of the
cover in the provided space.
FUNCTION SELECTOR
The control box function selector offers 5 different positions:
Frost protection:
maintains about 8° C (45° F)
during absences of more than 48 hours.
(Not recommended in extreme cold)
.
Economy function:
temperature slightly lower
(according to previous adjustment of the set-back,
see beside) than the temperature selected in the
comfort mode, without disturbing the thermostat.
This function is used to reduce electric consumption
during the night, in unoccupied rooms or during
temporary absences.
Comfort function:
select temperature by
setting thermostat.
Stop:
turns the heater OFF.
Programmed function:
to be used only when unit
is connected to CONVECTAIR’s Programmer
module (optional).
ADJUSTING SET-BACK
The set-back control button is located in the control box on
top of the Allegro. It will allow you to adjust the amount of
set-back desired: between 2 and 7° C.
As a general rule the ideal set-back for maximum energy
efficiency and optimal comfort, is between 2 and 4° C. You
can reduce a little more during mild weather but, on the other
hand, during very cold weather, the set-back should be
minimal.
If you wish to have different levels of comfort in different
rooms, doors should remain closed. In large open areas, all
units should be set at the same temperature.
OPERATION
When the Allegro is on, it will cycle every 25-30 seconds. The
indicating light tells you when heat is on. The Allegro will
always remain warm and ambient temperature will remain
constant. It is normal that in very cold temperatures the unit
could become hot. Caution is advised when young children
are present.
WARNING: In certain cases, the louvres may become
yellow after a while. This phenomenon is not due to a
manufacturing defect. It is caused by smoke or suspended
particles present in the surrounding air, heated and blown
out through the louvres. This coloration can be reduced by
cleaning the louvres on a weekly basis.
MAINTENANCE
To keep your Allegro clean, a regular maintenance is
suggested. To remove dust, use a soft cloth. To remove a
stain, use a damp cloth. Never use abrasive products which
could damage surface.
For a better performance and a maximum efficiency, it is
suggested that dust and lint be regularly removed from
protective grille situated at the base of your Allegro.
PREVENTION
It is recommended to frequently clean the louvres in front of
the unit especially in areas where smoke and dust are present.
Never use this heater during construction or other activities
that generate high amounts of dust particles.
NOTE
During the first time operation of the unit, it is possible that a
slight odour and smoke are expelled from your Allegro. This
phenomenon is normal and shall cease after a few minutes of
use.
THERMAL SAFETY CUT-OUT
The Allegro is equiped with a thermal safety cut-out switch
that will shut the unit off in case of overheating. Reset the
unit and re-arm the switch by pressing on the black button
located in the back near the center (depending on the
model) of the Allegro.

following tests :
1. Make sure the breaker in the distribution panel
is on the “

2. Check that the function selector is set to .
3. Check and reset the thermal
safety cut-out (see above).
4. Turn the setting dial to the position
9
.
5. If after all these tests, the light is still off and no
heat is generated, call your electrician or the
nearest CONVECTAIR repair centre.
