All electrical appliances produced for the Company are guaranteed for one year against faulty material or workmanship. This applies only if the appliance has been used for purposes in accordance with the instructions provided and has not been connected to an unsuitable electricity supply, or subject to misuse, neglect, damage or modified or repaired by any person not authorised by us. This guarantee is offered to you as an extra benefit and does not affect your legal rights.

The correct electricity supply voltage is shown on the rating label attached to the appliance.

Reasonable care has been taken to ensure that this guide is accurate at the time of printing. In the interest of progress the Company reserve the right to vary specifications from time to time without notice.

Overview

Please read this guide carefully and retain for future use and maintenance.

This appliance has been designed and manufactured to the highest international standards, however, care must be taken for optimal results and safety. This appliance also meets the requirements of

EU Directive 2004/106/EC for EMC and

2009/125/EC Directive.

Safety & Care

The 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. The appliance should not be operated in ambient temperatures greater than 30°C (86°F), otherwise the life of the heater emitter could be shortened. These radiant heaters are capable of projecting a significant amount of radiant energy for a considerable distance in front of the reflector. Great care should be taken with their mounting, if there are flammable materials in the vicinity. These heaters must not be used in areas subject to flammable vapours such as paint solvents or petrol fumes.

Warning

Cleaning

Always disconnect the heater from the mains before cleaning. The heater should not require any maintenance, but it is strongly advised that it is kept clean. An occasional wipe over with a soft cloth is all that should be necessary.

• Do NOT use metal or furniture polish on any part of the heater.

• Do NOT touch the heater with wet hands or in any way bring water into contact with it.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

If Your Heater Does Not Work

• Check that power is available to the heater. The

LED light on the SL receiver should be illuminated

• Check that the fuse in the spur unit has not blown.

This can be done by replacing the fuse with another suitable fuse.

• Check if the heater is paired with the SL controller

Should none of the above remedies work, then telephone the helpline number shown in these instructions (UK ONLY). Do not attempt to repair the heater.

Connection to the Main Supply

Electrical installation should be carried out by a competent installer, preferably registered with NICEIC in accordance with the 17 edition of the IEE Wiring

Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant Local

Authority Bye-Laws. This heater is fitted with a 3-core mains supply cable and must be permanently connected to the electricity supply via a double pole switch having 3mm gap on each pole. There are no exceptions . A switched Fused Connection unit to

BS.1363. Part 4 is a recommended mains supply connection accessory to ensure compliance with safety requirements applicable to fixed-wiring installation.

Note: When switched on for the first time the appliance may emit a slight smell.

WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

When refitting the lid care must be taken to align the light pipe on the lid with the indicator light.

General

Ceramic heaters are high intensity radiant appliances, using ceramic emitter elements as the energy source.

The emitters radiate their energy primarily in the longwave infrared waveband with high energy conversion efficiency and good heat penetrating properties.

All heaters are supplied complete with wall mounting brackets. Their robust construction makes them suitable for most types of industrial and commercial situations. An outline drawing of the units, together with their overall dimensions is shown in figure 1.

As well as an efficient conversion of electrical energy into radiant heat energy, the effectiveness of radiant heaters depends on efficient absorption of this energy by the people in the building. More efficient absorption is obtained if the radiant heat is directed from one or both sides of the person. In any situation, the optimum angle for the heaters will be with the plane of the reflectors at about 45 0 to the horizontal.

Heating schemes should be designed such that the area to be heated is effectively covered by units which are mounted close to this angle .

Installation

The mounting position and spacing of these units will depend on the mounting height and reference should be made to the technical data to determine the optimum position. The minimum recommended mounting heights are as follows:

HE8515SL (1.5 kW) 2.3 metres

HE8530SL (3.0 kW) 2.7 metres

For wall mounting, a bracket arrangement is supplied as standard and this is shown in figure 2. With the unit wall mounted, it is essential that the radiant energy is directed away from the wall. The minimum clearances from the ceiling or the adjacent walls are shown in figure 3. For maximum heating effect on the occupants of the room, the angle of the front face of the unit to the horizontal should be about 45 0 .

NOTE: IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO SWIVEL THE BODY

MORE THAN 80 DEG FROM THE VERTICAL

Assembly

Unpack the heater, remove all outer packaging.

Although the appliance’s construction is robust, care should be taken when assembling the yoke and when securing onto the hanging bracket the yoke/heater assembly.

For all units, assemble the yoke onto the heater body, tightening the clamp bolts finger tight.

Secure the hanging bracket to the wall with suitable fixings. Ensure the position of this bracket will allow suitable clearances between the heater, when fitted, and adjacent walls, ceilings or objects. See Fig 3.

Mount the yoke/heater assembly to the hanging bracket using the bolt, washer and nut provided.

Finally adjust the direction of the heater to irradiate the desired area and tighten up all clamping nuts and bolts.

SL Receiver Installation

The heater is supplied with the SL wireless receiver pre wired. The cable length is approximately 0.9m. The controller should be screwed to the wall with 2x number 4 or 5 screws and suitable wall plugs. Care should be taken when installing the receiver. It must not be positioned above, behind or below the heater.

Ideal position is on the side, minimum 250mm from the heater. When the heater is suspended from the ceiling, the SL receiver should be installed on the ceiling as far as possible from the heater to avoid damaging the electronic components when connecting mains cable to the receiver. If the cable between the heater and the SL receiver needs replacing or extending, 2.5mm high temperature flexible cable must be use.

Operation

When the appliance is connected to the mains supply, the LED indicator will light up green, showing that the power is available to the unit.

When the heat output has been enabled by a wireless controller, the LED indicator light will turn red.

This heater can only be used when connected to an SL wireless controller . Each SL controller can control any number of heaters providing they are within the RF range.

Please refer to the SL controller installation and control guide for full operational details.
