User Instructions
If the heater has not been left operational
proceed as follows.
A) Checks before lighting the Air Heater
The following preliminary checks should be made before
lighting the heater(s)
a) Ensure that the ELECTRICAL supply to the heater is
switched OFF.
b) Check that all warm air delivery outlets are open.
c) Check that the thermostat is set at MAX.
d) Check that the clock control is set to an ON period.
e) Check that any other controls are calling for heat.
B) Lighting the Air Heater
1. Switch on the electrical supply at the isolator
2. If the Red Limit indicator light at the front of the heater is
illuminated, press the limit interlock reset switch at the side
of the lamp.
3. The startup sequence will commence.
4. If the burners fail to light the control box will
automatically restart the ignition sequence. If after 5
attempts at ignition the burners have still failed to light
the control box will go to lockout and the Red lockout light
inside the heater (or on the low level remote reset, MC200
or Powrtrol RR if tted) will be illuminated. To restart the
ignition sequence depress the reset button for about 1-2
seconds.
WARNING: If it is not possible to light the
heater after several attempts, contact the
installer or local service company.
C) To Shut Down the Air Heater
1) For Short Periods:
Turn the room thermostat to the OFF, or set to it’s lowest
setting.
D) Description of Operation
Important: The heater must NOT be
controlled by switching ON and OFF the
main electrical supply to it.
1) Standard Units
The ignition sequence commences each time the external
controls e.g. Time clock, room thermostat etc. call for
heat. The internal exhaust fan will run and, when sucient
combustion airow is proved by the air pressure switch, the
ignition spark will be generated, the main gas valve opens
and the burners light. The heater fan will automatically
start approximately 0 - 30 seconds (depending on the
setting of the internal timer) after the burners light. When
the external controls are satised the burners will be
turned o and approximately 2 - 3 minutes later the heater
fan will be automatically stopped. If the burners fail to light
the control box will make another four attempts at ignition.
2) High / Lo & Modulating Units
When the burners are alight, the heat output will be
controlled either to high re or low re or, in the case of
modulating units, to any point between high and low re;
depending on the requirements of the space being heated
and the external controls tted.
3) Summer / Winter Modes
Certain types of external controls will provide for two
modes of operation i.e.
Summer: The heater fan alone will run at the dictate of the
external controls to provide air movement.
Winter: The heater will operate normally.
4) Overheat Thermostat
This operates if high temperatures within the heater are
detected, the burners are turned o and a Red indicator
switch light on the front panel is illuminated. The fault
condition must be identied and rectied and the
thermostat manually reset. The thermostat is located
next to the indicator light and unscrewing the cover cap
exposes the reset button which can then be depressed.
2) For Long Periods:
Complete step 1 above. Wait for 5 minutes and then turn
OFF the electrical supply at the isolator.

NVS Range Users, Installation & Servicing Instructions Doc Ref M102 issue 2.4 May 2018.
Note: The limit thermostat(s) can only be reset
once the unit has cooled down.
Unless the cause of the fault condition is
readily obvious, for example a power cut whilst
the heater was operating, a service engineer should be
contacted.

E) Maintenance
To maintain ecient, reliable and safe operation of the
heater it must serviced by a qualied person at least
annually and preferably at the end of the heating season.
F) IMPORTANT
Free access must be maintained to and around the heater
for servicing purposes and the air supply to the heater
must not be restricted in any way. Combustible materials
must not be stored adjacent to the heater.
If at any time a gas leak is suspected, turn OFF the gas
supply at the meter and contact the local gas undertaking
immediately.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
These heaters pass the following standards for
Electromagnetic Compatibility: EN 61000-6-3:2007 A1
(Generic Emissions for Residential, Commercial and Light
Industrial Environments) and EN 61000-6-2:2005 (Generic
Immunity for Industrial Environments).
1.3.2 Location
Powrmatic NVS units are designed to operate within an
ambient temperature range of -10 to 25°C.
NVS heaters can be installed in several ways: i) suspended
from ‘drop rods’ via purpose designed M10 suspension
xing points on the heater, ii) attached to our optional
wall support brackets or iii) positioned on a level, noncombustible base. In all cases, it is important that all
supporting structures have been assessed with regard to
the relevant weight loadings.
Consideration should be given to ue routes and points of
exit, condensate, gas, electrical and control connections.
Consideration should also be given to the throw
characteristics of the heater, issues of public access and
siting of environmental control stations and/or remote
temperature sensors where the position needs to be
representative of the zone temperature to which they refer.
Where the location of the air heater is such that it might
suer external mechanical damage e.g. from overhead
cranes, fork lift trucks, it must be suitably protected.
Heaters should not be installed in hazardous areas or areas
where there is a foreseeable risk of ammable or corrosion
inducing particles, gases or vapours being drawn into the
combustion air or main fan circuits.
Areas where special consideration or advice may be
required could include but is not limited to –
• Where de-greasing solvents are present, even in
minute concentrations
• Where paint spraying is carried out
• Where styrenes or other laminating products are
used
• Where airborne silicone is present
• Where petrol engine vehicles are stored or main
tained
• Where dust is present (i.e. wood working or
joinery shops)
• Where high levels of extract persist
Installation in such areas may be possible under specic
conditions. Please consult our Technical Department for
further information.
1.3.2.1 Sizing of the heater
The heater should be correctly sized for the area that it is
heating, Full calculations need to be preformed to ensure
the correct KW output heater is tted (CIBSE elemental
methodology can be used, or the Powrmatic Technical
Department can provide guidelines).

1.3.3 Electrical Supply
1.3.5 Flue System
Wiring external to the air heater must be installed in
accordance with the I.E.E. Regulations for Electrical
Installations and any local regulations which apply.
All standard heaters are supplied by 230V - 1ph, 50Hz. The
method of connection to the main electricity supply must:-
- facilitate the complete electrical isolation of the unit(s)
- be in a readily accessible position adjacent to the unit(s)
- serve only the unit(s)
- have a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles. See
the accompanying wiring diagram for the heater electrical
connections
NVS/C and fan/silencer units can also be supplied for 400V
3N, 50Hz.
1.3.4 Gas Supply
A servicing valve and union to facilitate servicing must
be tted to the gas inlet pipe work of the heater. The gas
supply must be completed in solid pipe work and be
adequately supported. Heaters suspended by drop rods,
straps or chains must have a exible connection as the
nal link between the gas supply pipe work and the heater.
Sucient slack must be left in the connection to take
account of normal movement of the heater.
Warning
When completing the nal gas connection
to the heater do not place undue strain on
the gas pipe work of the heater.
NVS units feature a closed combustion circuit and have an
internal exhaust fan, mounted downstream of the heat
exchanger, to evacuate the products of combustion and
draw in air for combustion.
The air heater must be connected to the ue system that is
provided by Powrmatic Ltd. Several congurations of ue
and combustion air ducts are available.
The ue must terminate in a freely exposed position and
be sited to prevent the products of combustion entering
any opening in a building in such concentration as to be
prejudicial to health or a nuisance
Type B22 Installation.
Combustion air entry
(fitted with inlet grille and
inlet bend (not shown))
1.3.4.1 Service Pipes
The local gas undertaking should be consulted at the
installation planning stage in order to establish the
availability of an adequate supply of gas. An existing
service pipe must not be used without prior consultation
with the local gas undertaking. The inlet gas pressure
under running conditions must not be less than 17.5mb.
1.3.4.2 Meters
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas
undertaking, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal
with the total rate of gas supply required by all connected
equipment.
1.3.4.3. Installation Pipes
Installation pipes should be tted in accordance with IGE/
UP/2. Pipe work from the meter to the air heater must be
of adequate size. Do not use pipes of a smaller size than
the inlet gas connection of the heater. The complete
installation must be tested for soundness as described in
the above Code.

should be suitably lined with a re-resisting material.
Where single NVS/F units are required to cover a large oor
area, and in buildings with high roof or ceiling heights
Calecon thermal economiser units should be tted to
ensure even heat distribution and minimise stratication.
Care should be taken to avoid impeding the air throw with
racking, partitions, plant or machinery etc. Various outlet
congurations are available as optional extras to modify
the air throw pattern to suit particular site conditions.
For ducted units all delivery and return air ducts, including
air lters, jointing and any insulation or lining must be

A full and unobstructed return air path to the air heater(s)
must be provided.
If the air heater(s) is installed in a plant room the return air
intake(s) and the warm air outlet(s) from the heater(s) must
be fully ducted, into and out of the plant room to avoid
interference with the operation of the heater.
The openings in the structure of the plant room through
which the ducting passes must be re stopped.
Care must be taken to ensure that return-air intakes are
kept clear of sources of smells and fumes, and where there
is any possibility of pollution of the air by dust, shavings
etc., precautions must be taken to prevent contamination.
If necessary suitable barrier rails should be provided to
prevent any combustible material being placed within
900mm of the outlets.

2.1.1 General
Before installation, check that the local distribution
conditions, nature of gas and pressure, and adjustment of
the appliance are compatible.
The air heater must be installed in accordance with
the rules in force and the relevant requirements of any
re regulations or insurance company's requirements
appertaining to the area in which the heater is located,
particularly where special risks are involved such as areas
where petrol vehicles are housed,
reducing noise levels is important the heater should be
insulated from the structure by installing it on suitable
anti-vibration mountings. In all such cases and when the
heater is suspended it is essential that all gas, duct, and
electrical connections to the heater are made with exible
connections to maintain continuity of connection.
2.1.4 Air Distribution System
2.1.4.1 General
Where cellulose spraying is carried out, in wood working
departments etc.
NVS/C units are supplied with a centrifugal fan.
2.1.2 Fitting space requirement
For NVS/D units the normal air ow direction is from right
to left when viewing the heater from the burner/controls
end with the fan unit upstream.
The minimum clearances must be observed for installation
and servicing.
Any combustible material adjacent to the air heater and
the ue system must be so placed or shielded as to ensure
that its temperature does not exceed 65 °C.
When NVS modular components are used in conjunction
with the heater each component must be individually
supported.
2.1.3 Suspending the heater
The air heater may be installed either:
a) suspended from suitable vertical drop rods.
b) on specically designed cantilever brackets from a non
combustible wall.
c) on a level noncombustible surface. The surface must not
extend past the front edge of NVS/F heaters.
The method of installation must be capable of adequately
supporting the weight of the unit (See section 1.2) and
any ancillary equipment. Before installing the heater the
existing structure must be inspected to ensure it is suitable.
All supports should be protected against the eects of rust
or corrosion.
Raise the heater up to the point of installation using
suitable and safe means and connect to the means of
suspension.
NVS/D and NVS/C models are designed for use with duct
work to more precisely dene the point of air delivery,
and /or provide ducted return air or ducted fresh air inlet.
All ducting must be independently supported of the air
heater.
Joints and seams of supply ducts and joints between NVS
ancillary components must be securely fastened and made
airtight using appropriate sealants or sealing strips. If
required the duct work should be insulated to reduce heat
loss.
2.1.4.2 Noise Reduction
Ducting should be connected to the heater spigots via
an airtight exible coupling of noncombustible material.
Before tting the coupling it must be ensured that a
minimum clearance of approximately 15mm will be
maintained between the ends of the ducting and the
heater spigots.
Sound attenuators may be tted in inlet and outlet ducts
to reduce airborne fan noise. Materials used in outlet
sound attenuators must be capable of withstanding 100°C
air temperature without any deterioration.
2.1.5 Room Thermostat Siting
The room thermostat should be tted at a point which
will be generally representative of the heated area as
far as temperature is concerned. Draughty areas, areas
subjected to direct heat e.g. from the sun, and areas where
the air movement is relatively stagnant e.g. in recesses,
should be avoided. The thermostat should be mounted
approximately 1.5m from the oor.
Any room thermostat, frost thermostat, time clock etc.
must be suitable for switching 230V, 5A and must be of the
'snap action' type to minimise contact bounce.
For electrical connections of external controls see the
accompanying wiring diagram.
Threaded drop rods must have lock nuts tted that are
tightened down onto the 10mm xings in the heater. If

2.2 Flue/Combustion Air Duct System
The minimum distance between surfaces of the ue pipe
and any surfaces made from combustible materials is
300mm.
If it is necessary for the ue pipe to pass through a
structure made from combustible materials a metal sleeve
must be used so that the minimum clearance of 300mm is
maintained.
The ue and combustion air ducts supplied with the heater
are capable of withstanding their own weight over the
allowable ue lengths. Wall bands and bracing brackets,
or equivalent, must be used to provide lateral stability and
should be used at centres not exceeding 2.5 metres.
All models are supplied as standard with a rear ue outlet
and the ue outlet and combustion air sockets temporarily
tted.
2.2.1. Fitting Flue/Combustion Air Sockets
1. Apply a bead of silicon sealant around the face of the
ange on the exhaust fan outlet tube that can be seen
from the outside of the heater. Place the ue socket on the
outside of the heater to mate with this ange and clamp
the two anges together, on either side of the heater panel
using the screws provided. Ensure that the silicon sealant
has sealed between the two anges.
- 300mm below an opening e.g. window, air brick
etc.
- 200mm below eaves or gutter.
- 300mm from an internal or external corner.
- 1200mm from a surface facing the terminal.
- 1500mm vertically from another terminal on the same
wall.
- 300mm horizontally from another terminal on the same
wall.
- 2000mm from ground level.
2.2.3. Installation of Flue System
Note: A terminal guard, as supplied by
Powrmatic Ltd, must be tted to horizontal ue
terminals.
Notes for all systems.
i) Final overall length of adjustable disconnection
piece must be between 360 - 415mm.
ii) 45° osets may be used if required. Each set is
equivalent to 0.5m of ue length.
iii) Where NVS heaters are used in clean environments it
is permissible to take the combustion air directly from the
heated space. The supplied mesh intake plate, must be
tted to the combustion air inlet on the rear of the heater.
2. If ducted combustion air is not required (see Section
1.3.7.) t the mesh inlet plate behind the unused
combustion air inlet hole.
3. Apply silicon sealant and ret blanking plates as required
to seal unused panel holes.
2.2.2. General Requirements
See Figures 1a to 2b for the dierent types of ue
installation. In all cases the ue outlet socket must be
connected via the provided ue system to outside air.
The maximum permitted length of ue system is 6m, or
12m if the ue outlet only is used. If an oset is required
two sets of 45° bends should be used each set being
equivalent to 0.5m of ue length. 90° bends may be used
but each set will be equivalent to 1.0m of ue length.
All outer joints must be nished with the provided locking
bands. A smear of silicon grease to the inside of sockets
will assist in tting components together. All ue and
combustion air ducts must be supported independently
of the air heater. The ue or ue/combustion air terminal
must not be installed so as to be less than:
2.2.3.1. Horizontal System - Rear Outlet
Note: If the outlet is required to the side of the
unit 90° bends may be tted directly onto the
inlet/outlet spigots on the heater.
1. Locate the position of the ue terminal,
allowing for a slight gradient running down from the
heater to the terminal of 2° - 3° and cut a hole to suit.
2. Fit the ue terminal, securing via the wall plate and
weather with silicon sealant or similar.
3. Fit the twin to concentric adaptor to the terminal section
and extend the ue and combustion air ducts to the heater
using straight lengths. Fit an adjustable length prior to the
unit, to facilitate ue disconnection for servicing. Extend
the adjustable lengths to make the nal connection to the
appropriate heater inlet/outlet spigots.
4. Ensure that internal silicon sealing rings are in place and
that all tubes are pushed fully home. Secure concentric
lengths with the locking bands provided.
5. A suitable 90° elbow should be tted to the ue
condense drain pipe which in turn is connected to the
condense trap. See 2.2.4

2.2.4. Condense Length
Note: NVS heaters are NOT tted with an
internal trap and must be tted with an
external trap similar to drawing that is shown
below. The trap can be fabricated using
standard domestic 32mm waste water ttings.
Ensure that the dimensions shown are adhered to.
As NVS heaters will generally be mounted at high level
drainage under gravity will be adequate. Where this is
not possible a proprietary condensate pump should be
used. Install following the instruction provide with the
condensate pump.
Notes:
Trap must be positively connected to both the
heater andthe ue condense outlets.
Two separate traps may be used if required.
Access points and/or unions must be included to allow for
trap cleaning.
The approximate amount of condensate the units will
produce per hour is:
Fit the condensate drain trap to the drain pipe at the rear of
the heater (15mm). Connect the condense drain length (or
condense drain Tee) (15mm) to the same trap assembly. See
Fig 3. The traps must be lled with water after installation
and before the heater is commissioned.
page no. 18 of 36
NVS Range Users, Installation & Servicing Instructions Doc Ref M102 issue 2.4 May 2018.
Where it is necessary to route some, or all, of the drain
pipe external to the building precautions must be taken
to prevent the condensate freezing in low temperature
conditions. The drain pipe must be insulated and, if
necessary, tted with a trace heating cable.

2.4 Electrical Cable Installation
2.4.1 Electrical Connections
Warning: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
Wiring external to the air heater must be installed in
accordance with the I.E.E. Regulations for Electrical
Installations and any local regulations which apply. Wiring
should be completed in exible conduit.
Heaters are for use with 230V, 1N, 50Hz supplies.
The method of connection to the main electricity supply
must:-
- facilitate the complete electrical isolation of the heater(s)
that will prevent remote activation of the heater during
servicing.
- be in a readily accessible position adjacent to the
heater(s).
- serve only the heater(s).
- have a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles.
See the wiring diagram for the heater electrical
connections.
All units, (with the exception of units supplied with a
centrifugal fan/silencer duct section) are fully prewired
and only require nal connections for the incoming mains
supply and completion of the control circuit (230V).
Warning: Lockout reset is by a switched
Neutral to the controls in the heater.
The electrical supply must be run to a point adjacent to the
heater and be suitably terminated to provide an isolation
point that will prevent remote activation of the unit during
servicing.
Reference must be made to Section 1.2 to ascertain the
electrical loading of the unit(s) being installed so that
cables of adequate cross-sectional area are used for
the electrical installation. The length of the conductors
between the cord anchorage and the terminals must be
such that the current carrying conductors become taut
before the earth conductor if the cable or cord slips out
of the cord anchorage. All external controls must be of an
approved type.

the modulating regulator. The following are applicable to
this application.
1. The setting of the slide switches 1 & 2 should both be to
OFF.
2. Potentiometer P1 (Default setting 100%)
The control current of the V7335A is controlled by P1,
varying between 50% and 100% of the input signal.
E.g.
-When P1 is set at 100% (fully clockwise) maximum power
(165mA @ 22VDC) is provided to the modulation coil with a
10VDC input control signal.
-When P1 is set at 50% (fully anticlockwise) maximum
power (165mA @ 22VDC) is provided to the modulation coil
with a 5VDC input control signal.
3. Potentiometer P2
Controls the minimum drop-out voltage between 0% and
40% E.g.
- When P2 is set at 0% the drop-out voltage with an input
control signal of 0-10V-DC is 0.3V-DC.
- When P2 is set at 40% the drop-out voltage with an input
control signal of 0-10V-DC is 4.0V-DC.
4. Potentiometer P3 (Default setting 100%)
Controls the maximum hold-in voltage. Its proportional
value is added to the P2 setting E.g.
- When P2 is set at 0% and P3 is set at 5%, the hold-in
voltage of the burner relay is adjustable between 5% and
100% of the input control signal. If the input control signal
is set at 0-10V-DC the hold-in voltage of the relay is 0.5VDC.
- When P2 is set at 40% and P3 is set at 5%, the hold-in
voltage of the burner relay is adjustable between 45% and
100% of the input control signal. If the input control signal
is set at 0-10V-DC the hold-in voltage of the relay is 4.5VDC.
The following table shows the relationship between P2 and
P3 settings.
