CLASSIC Heated Rails - 24V

VERSION: 2021.04

OVERVIEW

Notes: Non thermostatically controlled heated towel rails only heat to optimal temperature when covered with a towel.

* Note - only applied to heated ladders - please ignore for non heated models

1. WIRING & TRANSFORMER (*)

• Using the supplied low voltage wire, make provision to connect this wire from the transformer location, through the wall surface at the

location of either wall mounting points (legs). If the rail is being mounted vertically, then use the top mounting point for the supply wire.

Ensure the hole where the wire protrudes the wall surface, is no more than 10mm diameter.

• Install a 24V~ transformer with sufﬁcient output power appropriate to the speciﬁcation of the product (see product rating label) in an

accessible ventilated area - e.g. in the ceiling cavity above the heated towel ladder.

• Connect a switched mains supply appropriate to the transformer input. Note it is preferable that this supply is controlled by a timer. Do

not install any switching device that controls the low voltage circuit - always switch the mains supply to the transformer only.

2. TOWEL RAIL

• Using the supplied double sided tape, stick the Drilling Template on the wall by locating the larger hole over the supply wire.

• Using a spirit level, the supplied diamond drill bit and Drilling Template as a guide, drill 4 pilot holes in the wall surface (remove

templates after). You will need to use a standard 6.5mm spade bit to complete the drilling to the depth of the green wall plugs.

• Insert the 4 green wall plugs into the wall and screw the 2 Wall Mounting Components to the wall.

• Using the supplied green connector, connect the element to the low voltage supply wire from the wall

• Feed the looped end of the element wires into the rail (from the left or the right)

• Fit the rails onto the mounting components

• Slide the ﬂanges towards the wall and tighten the Grub Screws using the supplied 2.5mm Allan Key

• Test - heating takes 30 minutes to reach full temperature (with dry towel draped over rail)

WARNING

• This appliance MUST be installed by a licenced registered electrician.

• In order to avoid hazards for children, this appliance shall be installed so that the lowest rail is at least 600mm above the ﬂoor.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualiﬁed persons in order to

avoid a hazard. All pole disconnection in the ﬁxed wiring shall be provided.

• This product should be supplied by an approved transformer which provides 24V~ output voltage and sufﬁcient output power

appropriate to the speciﬁcation of the product - see product rating label. Transformer must not be overloaded.
