Introduction

These heaters are primarily intended for installation directly onto a wall at low level. They
must not be installed in bathrooms or other high humidity areas. Please contact us on
01245 324900 for details of products suitable for these applications.

The minimum recommended installation height from the floor to the underside of the
heater is 100mm. The maximum recommended installation height from the floor to the
underside of the heater is 500mm.

A minimum clearance of 75mm is required either side of the heater (except Staccato
models) to allow for the insertion or removal of the outer case fixing screws. No side
clearance is required for Staccato models.

These heaters are designed for use on standard two-pipe pumped central heating systems
with a maximum water temperature of 86°C and a maximum pressure of 6 bar (88lbs/in2).
Pipes are 15mm or 22mm depending on model and either pipe may be used as flow or
return.

These heaters are 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. All heaters must be earthed.

We recommend the use of full-flow isolating valves. The valves should be accessible after
completion of the installation.

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

These heaters are fitted with and controlled by an integral room thermostat. This conforms
to Building Regulations Part L (Part J in Scotland). For further details please contact our
Technical Support on 01245 324560.

Please note the guarantee may be invalidated if this product is not installed and used in
accordance with these instructions.

Installation Guide

1. Release the outer casing by removing the screws on either side of the casing. For

Staccato models the screws are accessed through the front of the chassis.

2. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall

using fixings suitable for the wall type. Ensure
the bracket is level and flat to the wall. If
necessary use packing to compensate for an
uneven wall surface. Minimum recommended
installation height is 100mm to the underside
of the heater. Maximum recommended
installation height is 500mm to the underside
of the heater. Hang the heater on the
mounting bracket. Locate all four fixing holes;
two top and two bottom on either side of unit.
Mark the wall through the holes and remove
unit from bracket. Drill a suitable sized hole
through each mark. Hang the heater onto
the bracket and secure with fixings suitable for
the wall.

Signature & Sovereign Models

It will be necessary to remove the bleed screw cover-plate
situated at the top left hand side of the unit above the
supply pipe work. This will enable you to access the top
left fixing hole and at a later stage vent the air from the
unit.

Sentry & Sentinel Models

The mounting bracket does not fit central to the unit. The
mounting bracket should be fixed 20mm to the right of the
centre of the unit.

3. Connect the heating system flow and return

pipes to the heater pipe work. Do not use
soldered fittings to the heater pipe work as the
heat generated could damage internal wiring and
components. We recommend the use of full flow
service valves.

The valves should be accessible after completion of the
installation. Check for water leaks. Remove any
trapped air from the unit via the built in bleed screw
located on the top of the internal supply pipe work.
