Electrical

The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a competent electrician
and be in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations.

Installation

This appliance may be either wall-mounted or fixed to a ceiling - see Fig. 2 for
various fixing positions and ‘Installtion’ see section below, for details on fixing.
Heaters may be mounted end to end for wide doorways.

Using the wall mounting bracket as a guide (see ‘a’ in Fig. 3) mark o the hole
positions on the wall or ceiling (see ‘B’ in Fig. 1). A minimum height of 1.8 metres
is required from floor to bracket. Fix the bracket in position by following steps as
described under the heading ‘Wall or Ceiling Mounting’.

Wall or Ceiling Mounting

Solid brick or concrete block walls must be drilled and plugged (using a spirit level
as a guide ensure bracket is level), due to dierent types of wall constructions
fixings are not included, ensure the correct fixings are used. The plug must be
located in the solid part of the wall, not just in the plaster layer.

For panelled internal walls or ceilings, it is best to locate the studding, position the
heater fixing bracket accordingly and use screws supplied. If it is not possible to
locate the studding, use type M5 Rawlplug inserts, making the 10mm holes with a
drill rather than a bradawl or a screwdriver.

Locate the heater on the mounting bracket ensuring that the pozi- head screws are
fully engaged in the slots of the bracket.

It is important that the serrated metal washer (a) is located between the heater
holding bracket (b) and the wall mounting bracket (c). Adjust heater to the required
angle then firmly tighten the fixing screw (d) inside the endcap (e) using a cross­head screwdriver (f) as shown in Fig. 4.

Electrical Connection

Ensure that the heater is securely fastened and that the supply cable is firmly
clamped before operating the appliance.

9

Release the screws at either end of the air-outlet grille (see Fig.5) to gain access to
the terminals for connection of the supply cable - see Fig. 6.

Insert the mains cable down the outside of the back panel (not on inside) and
through the rear entry cable clamp and make connection as shown in Fig. 6 (see
also Fig. 7 for detailed views of cable clamp).

Fig. 7 shows the AC3RE cable clamp detail

Connection to fixed wiring should be made through the 3 way terminal block
mounted in between the element banks.

Re-secure the outlet grille.

Thermal Safety Cut-Outs

The power supply to the heating elements will be interrupted if one or a
combination of the following abnormal events occurs.

1. Air inlet or outlet grilles are obstructed.

2. Internal ventilation is impaired due to build up of dust and flu.

3. Blower unit stalls.

NOTE:

If the cut-out operates, the fan may continue to run impairing the performance of
the heater. If this occurs, turn o unit immediately and follow the reset procedure
below.

Procedure for Resetting Cut-Out(s)

Follow the steps below to reset cut-out(s)

1. Disconnect power supply.

2. Determine what has caused the cut-out to operate and rectify.

NOTE:

This should only be undertaken by competent persons with experience
of repairing electrical appliances and in full knowledge of the possible
hazards involved.

3. After a short period of time (allowing the heater to cool down) the cut-out will
reactivate allowing electrical supply to be returned to the heater thus permitting
normal operation.

Remote Control

The product is supplied with a bluetooth remote control, the remote control should be
contained in the carrier bag along with these instructions. This remote control is required
to operate the appliance. When paired with the remote control various operational modes
and features can be accessed.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The remote control is required to operate the appliance. It is important
that the remote control remains near the appliance at all times.

Fitting the Batteries:

The remote requires two AA batteries, these are supplied with the product contained
in the bag along with the instructions and remote.

To fit the batteries:

1. On the rear of the remote, remove the
battery cover by pushing the catch
downwards and pulling outwards in one
motion.

2. It should be possible to completely remove

the battery cover to reveal the battery
cavity.

3. Carefully insert the new batteries, ensuring

the polarity is correct. Ensure the ‘+’ and
‘-‘ signs on the batteries match the signs
marked inside the battery cavity.

4. Once the batteries are in place, replace the cover, ensuring the clip has engaged fully.

Once the batteries have been successfully fitted the remote control will immediately
start scanning for a product to control. At this stage it is necessary to complete the
pairing process, see Remote Pairing Instructions.

Remote control cradle:

The remote control is supplied with a wall
mounting cradle. If desired, mount the
cradle in a suitable location. The cradle can
be mounted using suitable screws and the
appropriate wall fixing solution, not supplied.

Mark and drill the wall accordingly to mount
the remote control cradle. The remote control
can also be fixed to the cradle using the
bottom fixing screw. The use of this screw
is optional, particularly if the remote will be
used as a portable device.

12

NOTE:

If the remote cradle is not initially required, please store in a suitable
location in case of future use. The bottom fixing screw should also be
stored with the cradle.
