IMPORTANT These instructions should be read and carefully retained by the user.

The installation of these appliances must always be carried out by a competent
electrician and be in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations and
relevant Building Regulations.

The radiated heat from the heater is considerable and must be taken into
account when siting the heater. Ensure that the heater is not used in close
proximity to the skin or eyes.

Always isolate the heater from the supply before undertaking any maintenance
work of the appliance.

The Vector range of heaters are designed for internal use only. They are not
rated as flame -proof and must not be used when flammable dusts, gases, or
vapours, etc., are likely to be present in the atmosphere. If in doubt, advice
should be sought from the Health and Safety Executive inspectors or local fire
officers.

Quartz lamps are extremely fragile and must be handled with extreme care at all
times. Avoid touching the surface of the quartz sleeve with bare fingers. If the
sleeve is accidentally touched remove the finger print with a soft cloth moistened
with methylated spirits.

As with any fragile fitting mounted above head height, care must be taken when
siting the heater to avoid locations where it may be subjected to knocks. In high
risk areas such as sports halls etc. extra guarding may be required to protect the
heater from flying objects.. If in doubt consult the heater manufacturer.

WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. HEATERS MUST BE

MOUNTED OUT OF REACH FROM OVERHEAD WALKWAYS AND
OPENING WINDOWS. THE HEATER MUST BE SECURELY FIXED AS IT
WILL BE DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF ANY INSECURITY IN ITS
FIXINGS.

SPECIFICATIONS The Quartzray Vector range is available in 1,2 and 3 lamp models with

outputs of 1.5kW, 2kW, 3.0kW, 4kW, 4.5kW, and 6kW respectively. The Vector
III lamp model is supplied as a dual voltage unit and is suitable for use on 230­240V 1pH and 400-415V 3N supplies.

ASSEMBLY

VECTOR 1

Remove the front assembly (see fig.1) and disconnect
the lamp leads from the terminal block. Remove
knockout(s) as shown in fig.2. DO NOT attempt to
remove knockouts on assembled heater as this will
cause damage to the fragile lamps.

If a guard is to be fitted it is necessary to remove one
end cap from the heater front (see fig.3).

VECTOR RP
Similar to Vector 1 but rain cover must be removed

before front assembly can be removed (see fig 4).

IMPORTANT
The supply cable MUST enter the back box from below
on this rain-proof model to prevent water entering the
heater. If the heater is to be wall mounted the two

screws/nuts retaining the cover support bracket will
need to be removed.

VECTOR II
Remove two front assemblies (see fig.1) and centre
cover (3 screws). Remove knockout for cable entry
as shown in (fig.2). DO NOT attempt to remove
knockout on assembled heater as this will cause

damage to the fragile lamps.
The incoming supply cable must enter by one of the
three knockout positions inside the centre cover.
DO NOT use the two chain hook holes at each end of
the back box.

If guards are to be fitted remove one end cap from
each front assembly (see fig.3).

VECTOR III

Remove three front assemblies (see fig.1) and two
centre covers (3 screws each). Remove knockout for
cable entry as shown in (fig.2).
DO NOT attempt to remove knockout on assembled
heater as this will cause damage to the fragile lamps.

The incoming supply cable must enter by one of the
three knockout positions behind the right hand centre
cover. DO NOT use the two chain hook holes at each
end of the back box.
