IMPORT ANT : STATUTE LAW DEFINES THA T ALL GAS APPLIANCES MUST BE INSTALLED BY COMPETENT
PERSONS, (i.e. CORGI REGISTERED INSTALLERS) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GAS SAFETY
(INST ALLA TION AND USE) REGULA TIONS (CURRENT EDITION). F AILURE T O COMPL Y WITH THESE
REGULA TIONS MA Y LEAD TO PROSECUTION.
2.HEA TER COMP ARTMENT AND CLEARANCES (SEE BS 5864)
2.1IMPORTANT: If the heater is to be fitted to an existing base duct (warm air plenum), always ensure that installation is carried
out such that the rear left hand corner of the heater is aligned with the rear left hand corner of the base duct, so that any
overhang or blanking off will be at the front and/or right hand side. In any event, blanking plates must be mechanically
secured and all joints sealed.
2. 2When the heater is fitted into a compartment, a minimum clearance from the compartment walls of 25mm (1in) at the sides, rear
and front must be left. Consideration should also be given to the space required for the removal and replacement of the filter
tray and the entry of the gas and electrical supplies.
2. 3For service access, a minimum of 450mm (18ins) is required at the front of the heater. Space must also be allowed, in a
compartment installation, to permit the removal of the heater. The clearance between the appliance and the compartment
should not be less than 75mm (3in). However, where clearances are less than 75mm, the internal surface of the compartment
must be lined with non-combustible material. The compartment must be of a fixed rigid structure.
2.4In airing cupboard installations, the part used as the air heater compartment must comply with the relevant section of BS 5864
and must be completely separated by either a non-combustible partition or a perforated metal partition with the perforations
not exceeding 13mm (1/2in). The secondary flue must be a tight fit where it passes through the partition and must be suitably
protected (see BS 5440:Part 1).
2.5In under-stairs installations, the compartment must comply with the relevant section of BS 5864, provided that in addition, all
internal surfaces, including the base, are non-combustible or lined with non-combustible material. This requirement is
applicable only to dwellings of more than two storeys.
2.6In slot fit installations (see instructions packed with Slotfit Kit TS50), the slot fit compartment must comply with the relevant
section of BS 5864. Side and rear clearances should be not less than 25mm (1in).
Important: Ensure that the rear of the heater is at no time subjected to air pressure subject to leaks from underfloor, joists or
roof spaces.
2.7In freestanding installations (see instructions packed with T op Closure Kit TCS50), only one or two walls will be in close
proximity to the air heater; these must be non-combustible in compliance with the relevant section of BS 5864.
2.8If the appliance is to be installed onto a combustible surface, a suitable base tray (BT50 ) is required. However, when a base
duct is used, this provides sufficient protection for combustible material and no further insulation is required.
2.9For Slot Fix applications (see instructions packed with the Slot Fix Kit), it is important to ensure that the draught diverter relief
is maintained on both sides of the application.
3.VENTILA TION AND COMBUSTION AIR
3. 1The room or internal space in which the heater is installed requires a permanent air vent of minimum effective area 81cm
(12in2). The air vent should be either direct to outside air or to an adjacent room or internal space (other than a toilet or
bathroom) that itself has an equivalent air vent direct to outside.
3. 2Combustion air may be introduced, via a 120mm (5in) nominal bore pipe, connected to a return air duct or plenum from a
ventilated area and fitted with a lockable damper. The damper should be adjusted to control combustion airflow to 0.0137m3/s
(29cfm), (i.e. 1.11m/s [220ft/min] velocity in a 120mm [5in] bore pipe). If this arrangement is used, a non-closeable warm air
register MUST be provided in the same area as the front of the air heater or heater compartment if a return air grille is not
located in that area.
2
3.3When installed in a compartment, two permanent ventilation openings into the compartment are required, one at high level
and one at low level, both communicating either directly with outside air or with a ventilated room or space. The minimum
effective areas specified in Table 1 are related to the rated heat input of the Air Heater, and assuming that an ELJAN 6
circulator is fitted.
3.4If any room or area from which air is drawn for ventilation or combustion contains an extract fan, the permanent vents must be
sized to ensure that the operation of the appliance(s) at full rate is/are not adversely affected. A spillage test as specified in
sub-para 6.8 (Safety Checks) is carried out and any remedial work undertaken.

4.DUCT SYSTEM
(See British Design Manual - Gas fired W arm Air Heating)
4.1RETURN AIR
4.1.1All return air shall be POSITIVEL Y ducted from outside the compartment to the top of the unit via a return air duct or , if
appropriate, using a Side Return Air Kit SR50, and mechanically secured. It is recommended that the return air duct not
be routed directly from the main living area, but from a convenient central area serving the remainder of the dwelling.
4.1.2The return air system should be constructed of fire-resistant material. The flue shall not be run through an area serving
as a return air path. It is extremely important that the correct size of return air grilles and ducting is used. For heaters on
maximum output the return air duct size should not be less than the equivalent of 300mm x 250mm (12" x 10"). If flexible
duct is used the duct diameter should not be less than 350mm (14") dia. The return air grille should have a free area of
not less than 1266cm2 (196in2).
4.1.3An adequate and unobstructed return air path is essential from areas not served by a directly ducted return and to
which warm air is delivered. All such rooms should be fitted with relief grilles which have a free area of 0.0088m2/kW
(1in2/250Btu/h) of heat supplied to the room. The only exceptions are kitchens, bathrooms and WC.’ s.
4.1.4The return air duct should allow for ease of removal for access to the flue.
4.1.5All duct work in the room or internal space in which the heater is installed shall be mechanically secured, and sealed
with ducting tape.
4.2W ARM DELIVERED AIR
4.2.1All duct work, including riser ducts, should be fully insulated with 50mm (2in) fibreglass or similar. If short extended
duct runs are taken below floor level these should be similarly insulated, and in addition wrapped with a sound vapour
proof barrier, and protected from crushing.
4.2.2The duct system should be carefully designed to suit the needs of its specific heating requirements and building
layout. The type of duct system, (i.e. radial/extended plenum/stepped) should be installed using the least number of
fittings to minimise airflow resistance. The base duct, which equalises the air pressure to supply ducts, shall be
constructed to support the weight of the heater, which shall be secured to the plenum with screws on at least two
sides, and sealed using self-adhesive foam strip, ducting tape or sealing compound. All ducting and blanking plates
shall be mechanically secured and sealed.
5.INST ALLA TION REQUIREMENTS
Note: For ELJAN 6 circulator Installation Instructions, see separate instructions ZZ778.
5.1 FLUES (see British Standards BS 5440 Pt. 1 Flues)
5.1.1All joints shall be soundly sealed.
5.1.2The flue should be kept as short and warm as possible.
5.1.3Sufficient support brackets shall be installed to bear the weight of the total flue system.
5.1.4The spigot connection of the heater draught diverter will accept internally the spigot end of a non-asbestos flueto BS
567 or twin wall metal flue to BS 715 of nominal 100mm (4in) diameter.
5.1.5A split collar should be fitted to provide for flue maintenance or inspection.
5.1.6The flue shall be in accordance with the Building Regulations and British Gas Materials and Installations specification
3rd edition) with regard to clearance and shielding from combustible materials.
330
Page 4
5.1.7All materials shall be in accordance with Building Regulations requirements.
5.1.8The flue should run as vertically as possible. Horizontal runs should be avoided if at all possible and any directional
change should be as gentle as possible. If there is any doubt about the flue configuration, the equivalent flue height
should be determined (see 5.1.11).
5.1.9If the appliance to be fitted is a replacement, the old appliance should be checked for signs of spillage prior to
commencement of the installation and appropriate action taken, (i.e. check flue system and renew as necessary).
5.1.10 It is recommended that at least 600mm of vertical flue should be provided from the top of the draught diverter (for new
installations this shall be incorporated into the flue design). However, when carrying out replacement installations, an
existing flue system may be encountered, where the vertical flue above the appliance to the first bend is less than
600mm. In the first instance, the installer must judge whether this distance can be achieved practicably by some means.
Where this is not practicable, the existing flue system may be used, providing there is no evidence of spillage from the
old appliance (see 5.1.9 above). Every effort must be made, however, to ensure that the existing flue complies in every
other way to BS 5440 Part 1, including the visual inspection, flue flow and spillage test described in 4.3.2 of the above
standard. Flue configurations may be assessed in terms of equivalent vertical height - details are given in 5.1.11. For air
heaters, the minimum equivalent vertical height is 1 metre. The installer must make a judgement based on his
knowledge and experience and the examination and testing described above as to whether an existing flue system can
be used.
Note: Ventilation of the compartment, room or internal space in which the appliance is to be installed must be checked for
compliance with the requirements of BS 5440 Part 2 ( Ref. Section 3 of these instructions) and upgraded as necessary.
5.1.11 Calculation method for flue sizing: ( from BS 5440: Part 1, Appendix A)
a.This appendix provides a procedure for estimating whether a given flue design is likely to ensure full clearance of
combustion products.
b.The procedure is based on calculating the ‘equivalent height’ of the flue under consideration, (i.e. that height of the
straight vertical circular flue pipe of specific size which will produce the same flow rate as the flue under
consideration). The equivalent height is calculated from the formula:
(Ki + Ko )
e
He = Ha x ____________________
(Ki + Ko)a - KeHa + Sum K
where:
He is the height of the equivalent flue;
Ha is the vertical height of the actual or proposed flue;
Ki is the inlet resistance of the flue;
Ko is the outlet resistance from the flue;
subscript e refers to the equivalent flue diameter;
subscript a refers to the actual or proposed flue diameter;
Ke is the resistance per unit length of the equivalent flue;
Sum K is the resistance (other than the inlet and outlet resistance) of the actual or proposed flue.
Note: K and Sum K are obtained from T able 2. Ko and Ki are obtained from T able 3.
c.T able 2 gives resistance factors for common flue components for use in the formula. Table 3 contains the appropriate
inlet and outlet flue resistances, (the flue is likely to be satisfactory if its equivalent height exceeds 1m).
d.W orked Calculation Example:
A warm air unit with a 100 mm diameter flue spigot, fitted with a pre-fabricated flue system leading to a ridge tile in the loft (refer Fig.
2):
From table 3:
Kia Inlet resistance of actual flue= 2.5
Koa Outlet resistance of actual flue= 2. 5
Kie Inlet resistance of equivalent flue= 2. 5
Koe Outlet resistance of the actual flue= 2.5

5.1.12 Where flue blocks are used, builders should ensure that no obstruction is created during erection. The installer should
ensure that the connection flue does not project beyond the internal wall of the flue blocks and that there is provision
for examination and servicing.
5.1.13 Important: Before installing the appliance, carry out a visual check of the flue system as directed in the relevant
section of BS 5440 Pt. 1, then check the flue performance as follows:
a.Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed.
b.Introduce some heat into the flue, using a blow torch or other means.
45O bend
2 x 300 mm lengths

c.Carry out a flow visualisation check with a smoke pellet at the intended position for the appliance. Ensure that
there is discharge of smoke from the correct terminal only , and no spillage into the room. Smoke coming out of
other than the correct terminal only, or a down draught or ‘no flow’ condition, indicates that the flue has failed
the test, and the appliance shall not be connected until the defect has been found and rectified, and the test
satisfactorily completed.

5.2ELECTRICAL
5.2.1Mains.
a.The heater is supplied with mains cable (PVC sheathed, heat resisting to 85oC), 3-core Brown-Blue-Green/Y ellow ,
6A, 0.75mm2), connected to a terminal block and exiting through the heater at the right hand top front. The cable
is suitable for a 230V 50Hz supply and shall be connected to the fixed wiring using a double pole switched,
fused spur, incorporating a protective earth link. The fuse fitted shall be rated 5A to BS 1362. Connections shall
be in accordance with the current edition of I.E.E Regulations BS 7671.
b.MODAIRFLOW Models: An electronic control (Thermista-stat) is supplied which acts as a room thermostat.
c.Non-MODAIRFLOW models: A 24V room thermostat (not supplied), that complies with BS 800, BS 3955 and BS
4201 is essential to ensure close control of comfort conditions. An anticipator is located within the thermostat
and is graded in amps. The anticipator should be checked and adjusted to 0.2A.
5.2.2Thermista-stat/Room Thermostat and its location.
a.The Thermista-stat/Room Thermostat should be located where there is free air circulation approx. 1.5m (5ft) from
the floor.
b.A void the following locations:-
i )In a room where temperature is greatly affected by the sun or any other heat source, e.g. radiant fire, wall
light fittings or TV set.
i i)Near an outside door or windows, or on an outside wall.
iii)Where affected by warm air ducts, diffusers, waste pipes or the heater itself.
iv)Where subject to vibration.
c.For MODAIRFLOW models, connect Thermista-stat wires to control panel terminals ‘4’ and ‘5’ (see Fig. 5a and
6a), connection polarity being important, connect +ve side on control panel to +ve side on Thermista- stat.
d.For non-MODAIRFLOW models, connect room thermostat wires control panel terminals ‘16’ and ‘17’
5.3GAS(SEE BS 5864 AND BS 6891)
5.3.1An independent gas supply pipe from the meter is to be preferred wherever possible. When this is not possible, the
pipe must be capable of taking the complete input of the heater and all other gas appliances being served by this same
pipe. This supply should be suitably sized to conform to British Standards requirements of no more than 1.0 mbar (0.4in
wg) pressure drop (See table of discharge in BS 6891).
5.3.2The 1/2in union gas cock (supplied) must be fitted to the gas inlet of the heater for easy isolation during servicing. The
gas pipe should be fitted and installed so that it is durable, substantial and gas tight. To assist in determining whether
a gas connection may not be tight, a leak detection fluid should be applied around the connection. Under no
circumstances should a flame be used to locate a gas leak. Gas entry to the air heater is through either side to a Rc1/
(1/2in BSP . external [taper] thread).
5.4DRAUGHT DIVERTER & DEFELCT OR PLATE:
5.4.1The HI-SPEC J50 heater is supplied with a draught diverter which houses the TTB, and which requires fitting to the
rear of the heater prior to installation, using 6 x 4mm screws and lock washers (provided). Connect the TTB to the
terminal block situated on the rear upper left hand corner of the appliance.
5.4.2The deflector plate prevents spillage from the draught diverter in the event of a leak between the air heater and the
base plemum and MUST be fitted as shown in fig 3 using the screws provided.
5.5DEFLECTOR PLA TE SAFETY CHECK:
2
In order to ensure that the deflector plate is preventing warm air from entering the draught diverter and therefore causing spillage, the
following test MUST be carried out BEFORE commissioning:
5.5.1Turn on the power supply to the heater.
5.5.2Set the summer airflow switch to “on”.
5.5.3Using a smoke match, introduce smoke into the heat exchanger at the burner opening.
5.5.4Ensure that the smoke is drawn into the heat exchanger and not blown back from the burner opening.
5.5.5If smoke is blown back from the burner opening, check for air leaks between the heater and the base plenum,
paying particular attention to the rear of the heater directly beneath the draught diverter.

9.DEFECT DIAGNOSIS
9.1IMPORT ANT :
If an electrical defect occurs after installation of the appliance; preliminary earth continuity, polarity, and resistance to earth
checks should be carried out with a multimeter. On completion of any maintenance/fault-finding task that has required the
breaking and remaking of electrical connections, then checks of continuity , polarity, and resistance to earth must be
repeated.
9.2W ARNINGS:
9.2.1When purging or checking gas supplies, ensure that ventilation to the room or cupboard is adequate, and that all
naked lights are extinguished.
9.2.2MODAIRFLOW models: Before commencing defect diagnosis, ensure that the Thermista-stat is set to maximum,
mains supply is ‘ON’ and the time control is at an ‘ON’ position.
9.2.3Care is to be taken during the replacement and handling of electronic assemblies, (i.e., electronic panel, airflow sensor
or Thermista-stat). It is not practical to rectify defects on these assemblies, except at the manufacturer , and any
attempt to do so may render the guarantee or factory replacement arrangement invalid.
