The DX1500 / DX1000 is suitable for timber framed cavities.
Most existing masonry cavities will not be suitable.
The cavity design & shape will be dependent on a number of things:
B2 Designing the Cavity
B
The following aspects must be considered when designing this installation:
• Appliance physical size
• Single sided or Double sided
• Wall nishing and interaction with appliance
• Positioning of appliance in regards to wall lining (depth into wall)
• Is a Fascia to be used? one side or two sides?
• Exhaust cowl aspect – horizontal / vertical and ue conguration
• Flue exhaust fan noise
• Exhaust cowl access for maintenance
• Duct layout and cavity spaces to run ducting
• Duct fan position
• Access to duct fan for maintenance
• Gas pipe layout
• Gas isolation valve / pressure test point position
• Electrical isolation switch
• Home automation network connections - Ethernet cable layout
□
This DX1500 / DX1000 re is to be installed prior to any wall lining.
The wall lining is the very last task to be completed in this installation.
The cavity and wall linings may be constructed from standard timber framing materials
and do not need to be non-combustible.
Do not line the top of the cavity.
It is not necessary to line the sides, or back of the cavity.

Note: The wall lining directly above the appliance will get warm and hence may discolour
paint nishes that are susceptible to temperature damage or distort vinyl wall coverings.
For durability of nishes and surfaces you should contact the relevant manufacturer for
their specication and avoid materials with temperature ratings less than 80deg C.
Note that a 20mm or less wall lining must be used when installing a DX-series replace without a velo fascia. For wall linings of a total thickness of 10mm or larger, a “Linear Trim” may
be purchased to cover any exposed wall lining. A 9mm wall lining is recommended for ease of

B11 Television Clearances
800
MIN
The following are the recommended minimum clearances for the
location of any electrical equipment (such as a Plasma TV, LCD TV
or home theatre system) above an Escea DX Series gas re.
Note: The above television clearance recommendations are to
be treated as a suggestion of a suitable installation only. It is the
responsibility of the end user to check the installation instructions of their electrical appliances to ensure that the location in
relation to the gas re is suitable. Escea in no way guarantees or
takes responsibility that the above installation suggestion will be
suitable for all electrical or home entertainment appliances.
Note: Dimension from base of appliance.
For installations with a recessed TV above, allow at least 300mm
above the top of the appliance to allow for Duct and ue routing.
B12 Ducting
Note: The duct fan must be installed in a location accessible for service or replacement, a service hatch (to allow for access) may be required.
This gas re requires a small network of ducting situated in either the ceiling or under the
oor to distribute heat generated by the appliance.
A centrifugal fan (separate purchase) is connected to the duct system and this draws air
through the appliance where it is heated, and then distributes it via the ducting network.
The centrifugal fan is powered by the appliance. When placing outlets in rooms other
than the room the appliance is installed, it is important to allow for return air to
equalise pressure between the rooms.
Caution: Provision must always be made for return air from heated rooms
e.g. undercut doors or natural leakage.
ACDEFGSERVICE
B
WARNING: OVERHEATED ROOMS ARE NOT SAFE FOR INFANTS
DX res require a minimum of three outlets in the ducting system to be fully open at all
times. At least two of those outlets must be present in the same room that the re resides
in. There can be a maximum of 5 outlets for the DX1000 and 8 outlets for the DX1500. A
standard duct kit (separate purchase) has provision for the three minimum outlets - You
can use your own ductwork and outlets, but you must ensure they are rated to temperatures of at least 90 degrees Celsius and have an appropriate R-value.
Ductwork must be adequately sized to avoid excess backpressures. Inadequate duct sizes
will cause unnecessary fan noise and premature fan failure.
We recommend removing the close aps from at least three of the duct outlets to prevent unnecessary back pressure and fan noise.
Ductwork must not be crushed or exposed to excessive heat sources.
Note: If duct backpressure is too great, the appliance can shut down due to overheating.
□
This ducting fan will generate mechanical noise. Ideally it must be installed in a position
where noise will not interfere with daily activities. All air ducts will make noise no matter
how well the system is designed. Increasing the number of outlets is a simple strategy to
reduce this noise.
13
Page 14
For installations with the duct fan installed in the appliance cavity we recommend:
A C D E F G SERVICE
B
- Contact Escea’s free Architectural Advice Service at [email protected] and forward them
a copy of the intended design for comment.
- The cavity to be clad with sound gib.
- The fan to be wrapped in a sound absorbing material.
- The system be tested for sound related issues before it is enclosed. Please contact
Escea for more information at this stage if advice is needed.
- The duct fan must be hung on the provided hanger.
- The ducting must always have a “C” shape or an “S” shape to break up the sound
waves on both sides of the duct fan.
-The duct fan must be installed in a location accessible for service or
replacement, a service hatch (to allow for access) may be required.
-Never place the fan in such a way to result in a straight run to the top of the re,
as the sound of the fan will echo out the front of the re.
B13 Duct Fan mounting
Using the 3x spring mounts supplied, the duct fan should be installed in one of the
following positions as shown below. You must use the spring mounts as this will help
decrease noise by not transferring vibration into the walls.
Note: The duct fan must be installed in a location accessible for service or replacement, a service hatch (to allow for access) may be required.
Run the electrical cable from the duct fan to the cavity where the appliance will be installed. Ensure the cable is not draped over or in contact with the outer shell of the appliance or either of the exi ue tubes and kept clear from any other possible heat sources.
Fix it appropriately and allow enough cable loop to prevent tension on the cable plugs.
The duct fan unit length is approx 350mm and diameter is approx 340mm.
The duct fan must not be exposed to the outdoors.
END OF SECTION B
By the end of this section, you should have:
□ A framed, but un-lined, cavity sized to suit your fascia and ue conguration
□ Provision for sucient access to the powerue for future servicing

Installing the Electricity and Gas to the Appliance
C1 Power Supply
While the cavity is being created
consideration should be given to
appropriate location of a standard 3 pin,
EARTHED 230/240V power outlet. This
must be within 1.0m of the bottom right
of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Locating the power outlet within the cavity makes the installation very neat
but provision MUST be made to be able to switch the power supply o and on (electrical isolation switch) and MUST be accessible after the heater has been installed. This is
normally done by means of a separate switch located outside of the cavity and wired to
the plug. This will allow technicians to isolate the power supply before servicing the appliance.
This appliance must not be located immediately below a socket outlet.
This appliance will draw a maximum of 2 Amps from a 230/240V supply.
No additional power supply is required for the power ue.
C2 Network Cable
A 5 meter length of network (Ethernet) cable has been supplied and is coiled inside the
lower right of the replace. Access this via the removable access panel, and connect it to
the buildings modem.

The gas connection is inside the appliance and is ½” male BSP on the lower right of the
appliance as shown. Access is through the bottom of the rebox via a hatch (shaded grey
in the right diagram).
C5 Gas Isolating Valve
A gas isolating valve must be installed in the gas line as close to the appliance as possible.
Fix it in a convenient position to allow it to be closed o quickly and easily during normal
operation. Take into consideration access to this valve once the wall linings are on. This
will also allow for easier servicing in the future.

E11 Home Automation Setup
Escea D-Series replaces have a simple interface for connection to a home automation
system. Simply put this allows the replace to be woken up and started and then shut
down. The “Close to wake” connection shown is essentially taking one of the 3.3 volt DC
pins on the replace micro controller and pulling it down to ground. In order to isolate
the replace from the automaton system a relay needs to be used as shown. This allows
you to use any nominal voltage to drive the relay while keeping the replaces 3.3V supply
isolated.

F5 Locating Wall Mount Cradle for Wireless Control
The appliance’s remote contains the thermostat that will sense the room temperature
A C D E F G SERVICE
B
and communicate this back to the heater via radio frequency.
A wall mount cradle has been provided for the wireless control and where possible the
control should be housed in this cradle.
The location of this cradle should be decided by
taking into account the following factors;
□ Simple, convenient access for the user
□ Away from air ow and drafts through the
room
□ The parts of the room that people are likely to
spend time
□ Away from direct sun light
□ A suitable distance away from the heater
□ Ideally 1.2m to 1.5m from the oor
The radio frequency signal will go through some
walls but for best results Escea suggest that the
cradle position is less than 10 metres away from
the heater.
The best height o the ground to locate the cradle is about chest height. This gives a
good average room temperature and easy access for the user.
Please ensure that cradle is screwed rmly onto the wall using the screws provided.
F6 Operating the Appliance
If you haven’t done so already, insert the supplied “AA” size batteries, being careful of the
polarity.
You should now see on the display of the remote the time showing “0:00”.
To turn the re on, press the “POWER” button once, and within a few seconds the appliance will begin its startup sequence.
NOTE: The appliance begins its startup with a 15 second pre-start purge, where the
combustion fan runs on its own to clear the rebox before it tries to ignite. During the
pre-purge the remote will alternately show the remote’s “Set” temperature and a rotating
segment indicator to show that the re is in start up mode and will try to ignite.
When the appliance has lit, set the room temperature by pressing the ‘plus’ or ‘minus’
buttons repeatedly until the display is showing the desired temperature. The remote will
then revert back to the ‘current’ room temperature 30 seconds after making the change.
Run the appliance on full for an hour with the windows and doors open in the dwelling.
This will ensure any running-in smells have the chance to dissipate.
The appliance is turned o by pressing the “POWER” button once more. The remote will
display the time only.

F7 Normal Operating Sounds and Smells
Note: Each time the re is lit from cold the glass may fog up with condensation. This is normal and the
A C D E F G SERVICE
condensation will disappear within a few minutes once the glass heats up.
Sounds
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas appliance. This is perfectly
normal due to the fact that there various types of materials used within your appliance.
Listed below are some examples. These are all normal operating sounds and should not
B
be considered as defects in your appliance.
Fan:
Escea gas appliances use electric fans to push heated air into the room. It is not unusual
for the fan to make a “whirring” sound when ON. This sound will increase or decrease in
volume depending on the speed setting of your fan.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valves turn ON and OFF, a dull clicking sound may be audible, this is
the normal operation of a valve. When the re is switched o after being run for a while,
there may be popping and uttering noises as the residual gas in the burners burns away.
These are normal and should be no cause for concern.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Dierent types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at dierent rates resulting in some “cracking” and “ticking” sounds being heard throughout the heating and cool
down processes.
Smells
The rst few times the unit is operated, the unit may release an odour and the ames will
appear orange caused by the curing of the paint, the burning o of the starch in the gas
logs and the oils in the metal. This is a temporary curing process which will disappear
with use.
A deposit on the inside of the glass, caused by the starch in the logs, may appear as a
build up after several uses. If this lm is not removed, it will bake on and may become
dicult to remove. When the glass is cold, remove it (see section E5) and clean the inside
with a non-abrasive cleaner.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
UNDER NORMAL USE, NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE GLASS REMOVED.

S2 Error Codes
This gas re has been designed to show error codes to help explain and identify any fault
situation that occurs. These codes will appear on the wireless remote control in the form
of a large letter “E” with a number beside it. Codes can normally be reset by turning the
heater o then on again at the wall.
The following table shows what each code means and possible ways to rectify the situation. In the case of persistent or repeated shutdown errors, action must be taken immediately to nd and repair the fault.
Error Code Suggested action
• Excess lint and dust build-up on the PCB / Controller.
• Possibly fascia panels installed incorrectly resulting in restricted air
ow.
Electronics Over
Temp
Flame Failure or
Power Flue trip
Appliance Over
Temperature
Sensor Trip
• Ensure correct gaps are present around glass.
• Room air fans may be slowed or stalled. Remove rebox, check that
fans are plugged in, cleaned, and free turning.
• (DX only) check that the duct fan is not reversed and blowing “into”
the replace instead of out from the replace.
Note: This error has a permanent lock out and will require the unit to be
reset after the initial error (turning the power to the re o “at the wall”
then on again after a few seconds).
The re has tried to light three times and failed.
• Check gas supply and check other gas appliances to see if they are
aected. If you have two separate LPG cylinders, switch over to the
full bottle or contact your gas supplier. You may need to retry igniting the re a few times after re-establishing gas supply.
• Check correct gas pressure to the appliance with all other appliances
running.
• Check the electrode placement in relation to the pilot ame. Ensure
it is well enveloped in ame as per the diagram in the installation
instructions. Ensure no small coals have dropped onto the ignition
electrodes between the burners.
• Ensure the electrode is not contacting any metalwork including the
burners and has the correct air gap.
The bimetallic snap disk mounted on the exhaust collector box has
tripped. The possible causes for this could include:
• Possibly fascia panels installed incorrectly resulting in restricted air
ow.
• Room air fans may be slowed or stalled. Check that fans are plugged
in, cleaned, and free turning
• The regulator being set too high resulting in excess heat build-up.
• The inlet ue not being connected and the appliance drawing warm
air from the cavity. Check ues are securely connected at both ends.
• Incorrect Jetting

The valve solenoids have failed the pre-ignition test. This is to detect a
faulty valve solenoid. However, it is possible a wire has dislodged.
• Check that the connections to each solenoid are secure and in place.
It may be that the connections on the ends of the wires need to be
tightened a little (e.g. with a pair of pliers) to ensure a robust connection to the valve terminal.
• Disconnect and reconnect the rebox connectors ensuring they are
rmly pushed into place.
• It could also be that one of the solenoids on the valve inside the re
has failed. If this is the case the valve will need to be replaced.
The remote cannot communicate with the re. Reasons for this could
include:
• The re being turned o “at the wall” i.e. a loss of power to the re or
the remote is outside of its eective radio frequency range (too far
away from the re). Typical remote range is 1m to 10m.
• Ensure there is power to the re by pressing the auxiliary on/o (red)
button on the re, then press the on/o button on the remote to
clear the error.
The hot air duct temperature sensor has detected excessive heat at the
duct outlet.
• Ensure that there are at least TWO air vents installed and open in the
same room as the replace
• Ensure the duct fan is operating when the replace is running. If not
check that the duct fan cord is plugged into the replace.

• Check the the ue fan is plugged in at both ends and operating
correctly.
• Check whether the pressure switch is activating at startup (there is
an orange indicator LED in the control tray). If not check the pressure
switch electrical connection is correct.
• Check that the hoses are connected at both ends. Ensure the hoses
are not kinked.
• Ensure the pressure switch is mounted vertically and the diaphragm
is operational. The grey hose should be connected to the low pressure port and the translucent to the high pressure port
• Check that both ues are securely connected at both ends to the
appliance and the powerue wall terminal and that the ue is not
damaged

S3 Cleaning the Fuel bed and Glass
ALWAYS USE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE FASCIA AND GLASS.
NEVER RUB THE FASCIA.
The outside of the fascias must only be cleaned with a clean damp cloth, dry o after
cleaning. The high temp silver powder coating that is used on Escea fascia parts contains
certain amounts of aluminium that when rubbed too hard will oxidise leaving a black
smudge that cannot be removed. Always clean when cold.
This is a service procedure that will need to be carried out whenever soot builds up on
fuelbeds and/or inside of glass.
If soot build up becomes excessive or regular then one of the following actions may be
required;
• Reset gas pressure, pressure may be too high;
• Reposition fuelbed, check with specic fuelbed instructions for details;
• Clear any blockage from primary aeration port of burner;
• Check ue tube is not damaged or disconnected.
• Check exhaust fan is operating and cowl is not blocked in any way.
Step 1: Remove fascia panel (if tted) by pulling it from
the wall.
Step 2: Removing the Glass
Using the supplied 3mm Allan Key (hex drive) unscrew
the bolts around the glass retainer.
Take care that the glass and frame does not fall forward
at this stage. Pull the top of the frame toward you slightly and lift the glass and frame out
and away from the re. Ensure to hold on the glass, and take care that the glass does not
fall from the frame. Place the glass & frame carefully aside - This is a two person lift.

Step 3: Take out fuel bed and gently clean away any soot from fuelbed with a soft hearth
brush. The burner tops and fuel media tray can be vacuumed to remove any excess material.
Step 4: Clean the inside and outside of glass with normal glass cleaning products. Use a
CLEAN DRY cloth only. Stubborn marks may be cleaned with a ceramic glass cleaner.
Step 5: Reinstate fuel media and glass and test run heater.
NOTE WHEN REPLACING THE GLASS:
When replacing the glass, note that the metal ange shown
to the right must be on top (not the bottom), or the glass will
not t correctly to the replace.

S4 Checking Operating Pressure
A C D E F G SERVICE
B
WARNING: The regulator that is supplied with the re MUST NOT BE REMOVED.
Removal of the regulator, or replacing it with one not intended for use with an Escea re,
will void the limited appliance warranty.
By law, the original installer has supplied a test point prior to the appliance. With all
gas appliances within the house running on full, including this DX1500, check the inlet
pressure upstream of the appliance. It must conform with the table in section E8.
To check the operating pressure, with one burner
removed only place your Manometer hose onto
the jet spigot as shown. Ensure you place the
manometer well away from the other burner as
this will get hot.

S5 Replacing a Remote Control
If the wireless control becomes lost or damaged, a new one can
be ordered from any Escea retail agent. When you have the new
remote, the following procedure needs to be followed to “teach”
the remote to only communicate with that re.
1. Ensure the re and remote are set to “O ” (only the time is
displayed on the remote).
2. While the remote is in its “OFF” mode with only the time showing
on the display, press the MINUS, PLUS and FAN BOOST buttons
simultaneously (as shown right) until the characters “03” light up on
the display. Release the buttons and the remote will count down and display “GO”. The
screen will then display all characters and should be reading 00. This will put the remote
into test mode.
Note: if the digits start counting then the remote is already paired.
3. Press and hold the – (minus) button until the two large temperature digits reading 00
start to ash slowly. Release the –
(minus) button. The remote control
is now ready to be addressed to the
re.
4. Press and hold the red auxiliary
on/o button on the replace for a
minimum of ten seconds, or until the
two large temperature digits start
counting upwards from 00 to 99
repeatedly.

Note: Pressing the red auxiliary
button on/o button will start the
re. Once the remote control is counting the re can be turned o by pressing the red
auxiliary button again.
5. Press the large power button in the middle of the remote control to exit the test mode
and return to normal operation. The remote should only be displaying the time. Check
the re will start using the remote control by pressing the large power button. Turn it o
again using the remote control.
6. The re is now re-addressed to the remote control.

S9 Servicing the Horizontal / Vertical Powerue
Ensure the power to the Powerue is o by disconnecting the power to the appliance
inside. If the appliance has been running, allow the Powerue to cool before attempting
to service it.
Servicing a horizontal Powerue:
If the Powerue needs servicing, the fan can be accessed from the outside of the installation for Horizontal termination, and accessed from within the roof space for Vertical
termination.
Undo the screws on the outside of the Powerue box and seperate the two parts, giving
you access to the fan inside.
Removing this plate gives complete access to the fan for servicing or replacement. Check
that all the seals are still intact. Check the fan electrical terminals, motor and impellor are
not corroded. Ensure there is no signs of leakage in or around the terminal.
When reassembling the powerue, line up the round silicon grommets with the outlet
tube of the fan and push the cowl back into place. Ensure all seals are still in place and
replace all of the screws to hold the cowl in the correct position.
Servicing a vertical Powerue:
If the vertical Powerue needs servicing the fan can
be accessed without disturbing the nal twin walled
ue length or roof terminal.
To gain access to the fan and electrical terminals
remove the eight screws that hold the base of the
Powerue to the lid, making sure to support the
base while removing the screws.
Note: When inspecting or working on the Powerue
take care not to damage the two exible ue pipes
that connect to the Powerue base.
ACDEFGSERVICE
B
Once the base has been removed clean away any dust or debris found and check that the
fan electrical terminals, motor and impellor are not corroded. Also check for signs of leakage in or around the Powerue.
When reassembling the Powerue support the base under the lid and replace the 8
securing screws. After assembly check that the two exible ue pipes are sealed and not
damaged and that the twin walled nal ue length and roof terminal are still sealed.
Note : Take care not to trap any wires between the base and lid of the Powerue when
reassembling.
