INSTALLATION
Ventilation of the ambient
The unit leaves the combustion products into the environment in which it is used (appliance
type A1). It is therefore necessary to ensure ventilation and air changes of the premises
in which the appliance is installed, realizing appropriate air outlet openings on the
perimeter walls of the same, or creating a system of mechanical ventilation. To ensure a
sufficient air change, the flow of air needed can be calculated using the following equation (UNI
EN 13410):
V

For NO reason
the appliance(s) can be installed:
in rooms smaller than 12 m³
in ambient used as residential ambient
where wind speed is higher than 2 m/s
Appliances must be installed in wellventilated and manned ambient, in
compliance with current legislation
Manu_ENG_DC_DCeco_rev. 0_04_2012 page 8
Positioning
The appliances can be installed on walls / pillars, or hanging at ceiling. On request, we can
provide supports (S hooks and chains are excluded) for suspension at ceiling (picture 1), or
wall brackets to fix the heaters on the wall (picture 2) with different angled positions for
the heater. The following figures will show you how to install all types of appliances.

The brackets provided by SIABS allow an angle of installation variable once mounted on a wall
or pillar, in order to get a better heat distribution (picture 3, supports for DCeco version)
picture 3 – different angles : 5° , 15° , 30° , 45°
Manu_ENG_DC_DCeco_rev. 0_04_2012 page 9
IMPORTANT!
at each side of the burner 2 hooks are provided with M8 inserts, for fixing to a wall or
at ceiling by means of appropriate brackets (not supplied, available on request); do not
create other anchor points on the carpentry of the heater and in particular on
the body burner, but use only those designed by the factory
we recommend SIABS original brackets for installation of the radiant heaters
for fixing brackets on a wall or pillars assess the consistency of walls and the load
applied, in order to choose the correct anchors to be used; in any case provide
blocks with M8 screw minimum diameter (e.g. anchor Fischer TA - M in steel, with M8
screw)
IMPORTANT: appliances must be installed in horizontal position, contact us in case of
different inclination. In any case, the system of fixing / suspension must allow thermal
expansion of appliance (some millimetres depending on the model).
Handling
During extraction of the appliances from package and for all operations of handling till final
place of installation, gas valves / flame controls or flanges of the injection group must NOT be
used as lifting points, as in the pictures below.
Appliances must be taken at the installation point / height inside its package or using M8
inserts: all other parts of the appliances are NOT designed to withstand its weight.

Manu_ENG_DC_DCeco_rev. 0_04_2012 page 10
MINIMUM height of installation (for people comfort)
Indicative heights for the installation of appliances are as follows :
MODEL HEIGH T of INSTALLATION (mt)
4P 3,0
6P 3,5
8P 4,0
10P 5,0
12PR 5,5
12P 6,0
16P 7,0
10+10P 8,0
12+12P 9,0
16+16P 10,0
Height “MIN" means the minimum height at which the appliance should be installed so that
people who are in radiated zone, are not subject to excessive heat.
Quotes relate to appliances installed in horizontal position; for appliances with angled
position (15 ÷ 60 °), the minimum height can be reduced roughly between a 5 % (15 ° angle)
and a 20 % (60 ° angle).
Quotes relate to installation with ambient temperature of 10 ÷ 12 °C; in case of ambient
with higher or lower temperatures the minimum height of installation must be reviewed;
consider a reduction of 5 % (for temperatures lower of approx. 5 ° C) or increase of 5 % (for
temperatures higher of approx. 5 ° C).
Above MINIMUM heights of installation are indicative, consult us each case to select the
most advisable unit and the best height of installation (mostly for limit values), and for doubts
about MAXIMUM height of installation.
Manu_ENG_DC_DCeco_rev. 0_04_2012 page 11
MINIMUM distances from flammable surfaces
IMPORTANT: flammable materials inside the radiation could begin to burn and cause fires.
Minimum distances of installation must be respected between the heating surface of the
appliances and the adjacent walls, inside the area of radiation and outside, if they are
not protected against radiation or are flammable materials; in case below minimum
distances can not be met, consider to mount screens for the heat.

IMPORTANT: appliances with 2 burners and only 1 gas group (gas valve and flame control)
can be installed with MINIMUM inclination = 5 % and MAXIMUM inclination = 45 %;
outside this range the start-up between the 2 burners and safety of the units is NOT
guaranteed.
IMPORTANT: appliances with 2 burners and only 1 gas group (gas valve and flame control)
are equipped with only 1 electrodes set (detection and spark) for command and running of the
whole unit, so both the burners; the burner with the electrodes group MUST STAY in the
lower part of the unit when installed.

PUT IN OPERATION and FIRST START-UP
When you first start the appliances is important to make some preliminary checks to
ensure its proper running; operations listed below are considered essential:
make sure there are no losses in the gas line and that is properly sized
check that the pressure and type of gas used comply with the data on the plate
of the characteristics of the appliance
check that the power electric line has been correctly sized, which has been respected
phase - neutral polarity and that the cable grounding is connected
make sure the mechanical installation (supports) of the appliance have been properly
carried out and that the connections bolts are tight
use only steel materials, since heat is transferred from appliances to supports
Start-up sequence includes the following phases:
giving tension to the appliances, ignition electrode begins sparkling, and the gas valve
opens
the sparkling electrode ends after 30 seconds
in the case has not been detected the presence of flame, control flame goes into block
after 30 seconds; for re-start it is necessary to remove tension for a period of not less
than 20 seconds: after that period of time, the start-up sequence can be repeated; if
the heater continues going into block, refer to the section 'Maintenance' of this manual
switch-off of the heater is done by taking out power supply to control unit
IMPORTANT: in case of failure at time of first start-up, pressure settings have to be
checked, acting on PO and PI pressure intakes
Only in case of maintenance, following instruction of qualified SIABS personnel,
pressure settings can be modified using the following procedure:
remove the cap of pressure regulator (R)
unscrew the screw of intake pressure, upstream at the nozzle (PO) and connect a
suitable gauge, to check correct pressure during setting
remove the cap of pressure regulator (R) and act, as shown in pictures (turn
clockwise to increase and counter clockwise to decrease), on the screw of
adjustment till match up to the pressure gauge reading with that stated on plate on
the characteristics
the new and correct nozzle pressure should be checked at intake pressure PO
disconnect the pressure gauge and close the screw of intake pressure (PO)
reassemble the cap of the regulator R and place a new suitable seal

MAINTENANCE
Ordinary maintenance
An appropriate use of the appliances, plus their proper and regular maintenance are essential
to ensure better performance and longer working life.
At least once a year before the season of use, it is strongly advisable to perform an
intervention for control / inspection and cleaning:
visual inspection of radiant surface (if any cracked ceramic plate)
cleaning of radiant surface with compressed air with NO HUMIDITY at LOW PRESSURE
from inside
nozzle cleaning
electrodes cleaning, correct position and efficiency sparkling
check of keeping all the electrical connections
search for possible losses on the gas circuit and gas valve
check of gas pressure at nozzle
general control of all components of the appliance
control of openings and ventilation systems (natural and/or mechanical)
control of alarm signals, if any
If the appliances are installed in dusty environments is advisable to clean more frequently the
burners blowing compressed air at low pressure, working from holes in the flange / venturi
pipe. In case the appliance is running, shut it down and wait, before you blow, that it is cold.
Before making any maintenance, make sure that both the gas and the
power supply have been excluded, and that the apparatus is cold. For all
routine and / or extraordinary maintenance, cont act only professionally qualified
staff, or rather a Technical Assistance Centre authorized by SIABS
Manu_ENG_DC_DCeco_rev. 0_04_2012 page 22
Nozzle replacement
In case you need to change the type of gas for which the appliance was prepared, you should
contact SIABS to get the specific transformation kit, specifying the model of appliance, serial
number and the new gas. The operations must be performed by qualified personnel and in
compliance with the regulations.
IMPORTANT: If you change the nozzle to move to a different type of gas (f.e.: from LPG G30
to G20 natural gas) it is compulsory to change also the plate label with technical data,
placing a new label with the new data, repeat checks listed at page 20 “PUT IN
OPERATION and FIRST START-UP”, afterwards put seal again after operation.
Act as follows:
- unscrew and take out the gas nozzle using a CH13 spanner
- screw properly new gas nozzle
N.B. – appliances running with G31 / G30 gases
- some models require a special plate to be mounted on flange (reduction of air intake)
- dismount the plate (if mounted) in case of change from G31 / G30 gas to G20 gas
- mount the plate (if supplied) in case of change from G20 gas to G31 / G30 gas
