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.

WALL OPENING
(WITHOUT FASCIA)
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
installation.

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
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 aa@escea.com 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.
ACDEFGSERVICE
B
If you do not wish to connect the replace to the modem, the Network /
Ethernet cable should be run to somewhere accessible by a service
technician, such as a cupboard.

be sucient to deliver the following volume of gas to the heater with all other gas appliances in the home running at the same time:
C4 Gas Pipe Position
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.
DX1500 Gas Consumption = 42MJ/hr
