4.2 Gas connection
The gas supply line has to meet the national valid requirements and possibly the local
requirements of the building inspector, police or fire brigade. (In GB it must comply with Gas
Engineers publication UP-1 and UP-2 together with BS 6891.
A manual isolation valve in the supply line must be placed within reach of the heater, and all gas
lines must be mounted without any mechanical tension.
When testing the supply lines with pressures above 60 mbar, this manual valve at the heater
must be closed.
The working and standing supply pressure must be a minimum of 17 mbar, and a maximum of
30 mbar ,measured at the inlet pressure nipple of the gas control in the heater
In case the heater needs to be converted to another gas type contact your supplier. It can only
be converted by the manufacturer or its representative.
4.3 Electrical connection
4.3.1 230Vac supply
The installation must comply with local and
national requirements, ( as well as IEE
regulations)
Never use a room thermostat to interrupt the
electrical supply to the heater!
Make provisions to completely isolate the heater for maintenance purposes. This can be an
isolation switch (min.3mm contact opening gap) , a power plug or a non-switched fuse spur.
The wiring diagram for the heater can be found towards the end this manual.
The supply is 230Vac. with earth. The control circuit is a two wire low voltage bus
communication.
4.3.2 Room thermostat
The heater can only be controlled by special modulating Winterwarm room thermostats:
The Multi Therm Comfort
; modulating digital clock thermostat with optimiser. It can control 1 to
8 air heaters HR10 up to HR60 or 1 to 4 air heaters HR80 up to 120.
The Multi Therm Standard
; modulating digital thermostat. It can control 1 to 8 air heaters
HR10 up to HR60 or 1 to 4 air heaters HR80 up to 120.
The Interface printboard
; special designed interface module for connecting the air heaters with
Building Mangagement Systems. (0-10V (modulating input) signal, high/low signal,
external reset and other different in and outputs.
ON/OFF thermostat
The heater cannot be controlled with a simple on/off thermostat.
In all cases the communication between heater and thermostat is based on a two wire, low-
voltage connection. In the appliance the wire for the thermostat has to be connected to
connection 4 and 5 (see also electrical wiring diagram) Attention: This also needs a change in
the settings on the print board.
4.3.3 Thermostat installation
When mounting the thermostat, take attention to the following items:
•
Mount the thermostat in a place where the air can circulate free pass the thermostat. Take
notice that the sun does not shine directly upon the thermostat (in the winter). Do not
place the thermostat on a cold wall. Place the thermostat on an inner wall free from
draught.
•
Never place the thermostat within the throw of the heater.
•
Never mount the thermostat near aerials of internal communication networks. These emit
radiation that could lead to disturbance of the thermostat. Always keep some meters
distance.
