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
IR360 must be readily accessible.
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 IR360.
For the final connection to the Herschel IR360, 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.
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 IR360 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 IR360 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 IR360 should be firmly and permanently
attached to the ceiling. A ceiling mounting plate is not
supplied with this heater. A suitable mounting plate must
be fitted having adequate strength to bear a load of 16kg
(equal to 4 times the mass of the unit).
The Herschel IR360 should be installed with a minimum
clearance of 300mm (11.8
”) between the top surface of the
heater and the ceiling.
