How an Ecovector® fan convector works

Hot water from your central heating system passes through the heat exchanger transferring its heat
to the aluminium fins. Cooler air is drawn in by the fan and heated as it passes through the heat
exchanger before being Expelled gently back into the room. Fan convectors use around 25% less
energy than a radiator to heat up a room, give a more even temperature spread and achieve the
required temperature in much less time.

This heater is fitted with a low temperature cut
out thermostat that prevents the fan from
operating until the central heating system water
passing through the heat exchanger reaches 38°.

Heating

Ensure your central heating system is on, the heat
output switch set to normal l and the fan- only
switch set to RED (Heating). Providing the water
temperature in the system is more than 38°C and
the thermostat/s controlling your central heating
system is calling for heat your heater will switch on.
If you require a faster warm up move the heat output
switch to boost ll. moving the heat output switch to 0
will turn off the heater.

Air Circulation (summer use)

Ensure central heating is off. Set the fan-only switch
to BLUE and the heat output switch to either l or ll.

Ecovector® will run to provide a cooling flow of air.

If the heater is being used in conjunction with a room
thermostat, the thermostat must be set to maximum.

Fault Finding

This heater is covered by a free five-year parts and labour guarantee. Please refer to the fault
finding section of the installation guide for advice. In the event of difficulty please contact us
on 01245 324560. it will be helpful if you do not disconnect the heater from the central
heating system.

INSTALLATION & USER GUIDE

Introduction

This heater is primarily intended for installation onto a wall at high level. The maximum

recommended installation height is 2.1 metres to the underside of the heater. There is
no clearance required above or to the side of the heater.

Electrical installations for these heaters must only be carried out by a suitably qualified
person.

Model HL 1000-12V

This model is designed for use in bathrooms and other high humidity areas. For these
applications it is essential that the heater, transformer and fused spur are installed in line
with current regulations relative to fixed current equipment in high humidity areas, wet
rooms and/or bath and shower rooms.

The transformer has been designed to fit into a surface-mounted or recessed pattress
box (not supplied) similar to those used for shaver sockets (47mm deep). The
transformer can be mounted horizontally or vertically however it must not be directly
above the heater but should be accessible after completion of the installation.

Supply to the transformer must be via a 3 amp fused spur. The fused spur must not be
directly above the heater but should be accessible after completion of the installation.
Twin core cable is fitted to the product for connection to transformer. HL 1000-12V
should not be earthed

Models HL 1000, HL 2300, HL 2900 & HL 4000

These models must not be installed in bathrooms or other high humidity areas.

Ecovector® is classified as a fixed appliance and electrical connection should be via a

3A-fused spur. The fused spur must not be directly above the heater but should be
accessible after completion of the installation. If the pre-wired mains cable is damaged it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons.
This appliance must be earthed.

For models HL 2900 and HL 4000 we recommended that when securing the product to
the wall two persons should lift the heater into position.

All models

These heaters are designed for use on standard two-pipe pumped central heating
systems. Pipes are 15mm for models HL 1000, HL 1000-12V, HL 2300, HL 2900 and
22mm for model HL 4000. Either pipe may be used as flow or return. These heaters are
not suitable for one-pipe systems.

We recommend the use of full flow isolating valves. The valves should be accessible after
completion of the installation. We also advise the fitting of an air vent at the highest
point on either the flow or return pipe to remove any air trapped within the system.

To avoid the possibility of vibration these heaters must be fitted on a flat even surface.

To conform to Building Regulations Part L (Part J in Scotland) these Ecovector® heaters
can be controlled by a remote wall mounted room thermostat (Smith’s Environmental
Products Part No. RT002). For further details please contact us on 01245 324560.

P.s Your Ecovector® is designed to operate as part of your central
heating system in the same way as a panel radiator. Providing you
leave the heat output switch in either the normal I or boost position
II and the fan-only switch set to RED your Ecovector® will switch
on and off automatically with your central heating system.
