Installation and operating instructions
General Instructions
Read these instructions carefully before
installation and use. Keep this manual for
future reference.
The product may only be used as set out in
the assembly and operating instructions. The
guarantee is only valid if the product is used
in the manner intended and in accordance
with the instructions.
Application
Carbon infrared heater IHC produces a
gentle and direct heat which together with
the soft glow, is ideal for outdoor restaurants
where design is important. IHC has a heat
distribution best suited for close and slightly
higher installations. Protection class: IP44.
Positioning
The heaters must be placed so that they
cover the area to be heated, see fig. 1. The
normal mounting height is 2–3 metres above
the ground/floor. A rule of thumb for infrared
heaters is that 600–800 W/m² increases the
experienced temperature by about 10 °C. The
output demand can be reduced if the area to
be heated is protected. If the area only has a
roof, at least 800 W/m² should be installed.
600 W/m² is sufficient if the area has three
walls. For enclosed areas, the output demand
must be calculated. Optimum comfort is
achieved if the heat is distributed from at
least two directions.
Start-up
When the unit is used for the first time or
after a long period of disuse, smoke or odour
may result from dust or dirt that has collected
on the element. This is completely normal
and disappears after a short time.
Connection
IHC is equipped with a 0.9 metre cord with
plug for connection to an earthed outlet
socket.
The connection cord must not rest against
the unit as the surface becomes hot or can
be hit by thermal radiation. Contact an
electrician if the cord needs to be changed.
Note that due to the high temperatures in the
heater, a cord of the type H05 RN-F 3G1 mm²
or the like should be used.
In the event of uncertainty contact an
electrician.
Mounting
IHC is installed horizontally on walls with
supplied bracket. The heater can be angled
up to 45°. The heater can also be mounted
on e.g. a parasol or a post, a suitable U-bolt
(not included) is used for this together with
the supplied console. For ceiling installation
use ceiling bracket IHE (accessory). For other
mounting alternatives, see accessories.
For minimum distance, see diagrams on
introductory pages.
1. Secure the bracket on the wall with at least
2 screws. If the keyhole slots are used, an
addition screw is needed to fix the bracket.
See the introduction pages.
2. Remove the screws fixed to the unit's back
on delivery.
3. Hook the unit on the bracket.
4. Lock in position with the screws.
Replacing the lamp
The heat lamp is of the highest quality and
unless it is subjected to mechanical strains in
the form of vibrations and impact it will last for
a long time. The service life is dependent on
the ambient temperature and how the heater
is installed. When the heater is installed freely
and outdoors the temperature will be low and
the life of the lamp can be expected to be in the
region of 3000 hours.
The lamp must be replaced by an installer or
other skilled person.
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Wait until the unit is cold.
3. Remove the covers at both ends (four
screws).
4. Pull the grille to one side.
5. Remove both reflector ends (two screws).
6. Loosen the connections on the terminal
block.
7. Pull the lamp out of the lamp holders.
8. Check that the replacement lamp has the
correct output and voltage.
9. Fit the new lamp. Note do not touch the lamp
with your fingers, wear gloves or the like.
