1MS500W2 (1.0kW) User Manual
General
Your Eco Heat 1MS500W2 heater with integrated
motion sensor has been designed to save power.
With normal care and maintenance, your
1MS500W2 heater will provide years of satisfactory
performance.
The heater contains an integrated microwave
sensor, which is an active motion sensor that emits
high-frequency waves (5.8GHz). The sensor detects
the change in the echo return, and is sensitive to
movement in its detection zone.
This heater has been designed for use on 230 V
circuits. Do not use it in areas where a standard
voltage of 230 V is not provided.

Safety
Any use not recommended by the manufacturer
may cause fire, electrical shock or injury to persons.
§
This heater is hot when in use, to avoid burns,
do not allow bare skin to touch it.
§
Keep combustible materials such as furniture,
pillows, bedding, clothes and curtains at least
1000 mm away from the heater.
§
Do not cover or hang anything over the heater
as it may combust.
§
Fire risk exists if the heater is covered or
positioned incorrectly.
§
Do not leave the heater unattended while in
use.
§
Always turn the heater off when not in use.
§
Avoid using an extension cord as this may
overheat and cause a risk of a fire. If an
extension cord must be used, the cord must be
3-core and rated at 10A minimum.
§
To move the heater, switch the unit off and let it
cool for at least 15 minutes.
§
Never locate the heater where it might fall into
a bathtub or other water container. If the
heater is to be used in a bathroom, the unit is to
be installed so that switches and other
controls cannot be accessed by a person in
the bath or shower.
§
Do not insert foreign objects past the heater’s
grid. The elements are extremely hot and the
risk of electrical shock under fault conditions
exists.
Safety (Cont’d)
§
The heater is not watertight or flameproof. Do
not use the heater in rooms with explosive gas
or fumes (e.g. petrol) or while using other
flammable substances.
§
Keep the mains cord at a safe distance from
the main body of the heater.
§
Do not run the mains cord under carpeting. Do
not cover the cords with throw rugs, runners or
other floor coverings. Arrange the cords away
from traffic areas where they will not be tripped
over.
§
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
§
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
§
If the mains cord is damaged do not use the
heater. Only the manufacturer, its service
agent or a qualified electrician should replace
the mains cord.
Box Contents
Your box should contain the following items:
§
One 1MS500W2 heater
§
Two bolts
§
Four ring washers
§
Two wall mounting brackets
§
Two spring washers
§
Two nuts
Mounting
Step 1 – Bracket assembly
Assemble the bracket in the following order:
a.
Bolt, ring washer, heater bracket, wall mounting
bracket, ring washer, spring washer, nut.
Step 2 – Heater positioning
a.
Install the heater 1.8 m to 2.3 m above the floor.
b.
A minimum unobstructed distance (minimum
clearance) of 200 mm must be maintained
between the heater and any object that may
affect the operation or safety of the unit or
object.
c.
Mount/place the heater where it is out of reach
of small children.
Step 3 – Wall Mounting
a.
The wall mounting structure and the anchoring
provisions must be of sufficient strength to
support the weight of the heater, elements and
all accessories.
b.
Ensure the heater is mounted with the ‘This side
up’ sticker pointing up.
c.
Attach the heater to the wall with four
screws/bolts using the holes provided in the
wall mounting bracket.
d.
Adjust the heater downwards at approximately
a 15 degree angle. Refer to Appendix A.
Electrical Installation
All wiring must be done in accordance with
National and Local Electrical Codes and
Standards.
The heater operates from a normal 15 A 3 pin
socket outlet on earth leakage on a 230 V system,
or connects directly on a 230 V, 2-pole isolator on
earth leakage.
Operation
The heater will automatically start working once it
has been connected to the correct 230 V power
source and the integrated motion sensor detects
movement in its detection zone. The LED light will
glow to indicate the heater is on.
Radiant heat will be felt in front of the reflector
after about 30 seconds, and continue to increase
in intensity for 3-4 minutes.
Operation (Cont’d)
Microwave Sensor calibration:
Note: Allow up to 30 seconds for the motion sensor
to recalibrate after it has been connected for the
very first time. This is only necessary during
installation or when the mains supply is
disconnected. The heater will not function during
this calibration.
Motion sensor best practices
For best performance, persons or objects moving
towards the heater are ideal. Detection is possible
through wooden doors, panes of glass, “dry” walls,
ceiling tiles, or thin brick walls. Beware of windows
facing passages or roads.
Motion sensor settings and adjustment
See Appendix B for motion sensor settings and
adjustment.
Infrared Radiation
The heater uses infrared radiation to heat objects.
Do not stare into the heater for prolonged periods
at a short distance without adequate eye
protection as this may cause damage to the eyes.
Take adequate precautions to safeguard against
excessive exposure, by moving further away from
the heater or switching the heater off when heat
becomes uncomfortable.
Maintenance
The heater contains no user serviceable parts. The
elements should last in excess of 10 000 hours
(depends on operating cycles, temperature etc.).
If the heater has not been in use for a while, ensure
it is disconnected from the power source. Dust the
elements with a soft duster to remove excess dust.
This should prevent odors after first use.
Cleaning
Clean the outside of the heater only when it is
disconnected from the power source and cool. If it
has been in operation, switch off and wait for at
least 15 minutes.
Carefully wipe the exterior of the heater with a soft
damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners to clean your
heater, as these may damage the surface.
Do not let the inside of the heater get wet as this
may cause a risk of electrical shock.
Trouble Shooting
See Appendix C for trouble shooting.
Recycling
Please recycle all packaging material that came
with the heater.
If you are replacing an old heater, please go to
