The supply to the heater must be switched separately using a switch appropriately rated for the load and
supply voltage. A switched fused spur may also be used on existing ring main circuits where the load current
is less than 13A. In both cases, the switch must be double pole (disconnecting both live and neutral
conductors) and form part of the fixed wiring in the installation in accordance with applicable wiring
regulations. The spur fuse should also be rated in accordance with the appropriate table. In either case the
switch used to operate the Herschel Advantage IR must be indoors and readily accessible.
Advantage IR2
Ensure supply voltage does not exceed
245V
Advantage IR3
Ensure supply voltage does not exceed
245V
The cable used to connect to the existing wiring should be correctly rated solid core wiring cable. Please
note that the use of flexible appliance cable with stranded conductors for permanent wiring (except for the
final connection between a cable outlet and the fixed equipment) is prohibited by IEE wiring regulations.
Where applicable, these regulations preclude the use of a 13A plug and socket for powering the Herschel
Advantage IR. For the final connection to the Herschel Advantage IR, only the flexible cable and cable entry
supplied with the unit must be used. The cable must connect to the supply in a suitable enclosure or cable
outlet designed for that purpose. The cable outlet current carrying capacity must be greater than the
recommended fuse current rating given in Table 1 or Table 2.
If the flexible cable is taken through a wall for connection purposes, suitable conduit or mechanical
protection must be used through the wall to protect the cable from mechanical damage within the wall. The
mounting position of the unit must ensure that any mechanical damage to the flexible cable is unlikely. Any
exposed flexible cable is to hang down (not tied UP) and must have adequate clearance from the heater to
prevent scorching or damaging the cable.
Colour coding used in the supplied mains cable: BROWN wire is to be connected to LIVE (‘L’), the BLUE wire
to NEUTRAL (‘N’) and the GREEN/YELLOW wire to EARTH (‘E’).
MOUNTING POSITION:
The Herschel Advantage IR must be located in a position to allow proper and efficient use but one that
ensures hot parts are not touched accidentally. The recommended installation height of the Advantage is
2.3m to 2.5m (90”-98”) from the floor and under no circumstances is it to be installed at less than 2.3m from
the floor. In all cases it should be installed at a height where it cannot be touched in operation.
Consideration should be given to any temporary or occasional additions such as stages or platforms, and the
height should be adjusted accordingly. The Herschel ADVANTAGE IR should be firmly and permanently
attached to the wall using the bracket supplied, with the heaters angled down at 60° from vertical (see
diagram 1). The bracket allows the heater to be mounted between 50° and 70° from vertical and should not
be mounted outside these parameters. The Herschel Advantage IR is designed to be mounted horizontally
