3. Installation
Warning! Do not leave the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, nails etc.) within
reach of children as they represent potential hazards.
Warning! Electrical devices may only be operated in wet rooms connected to a residual
current circuit breaker.
Warning! Before initial operation of the device please ensure that this connection is provided
at the planned connection location.
Warning! The installation location must be selected so that the devices cannot be sprayed
with water or fall into water in any event.
Warning! This device is only approved for connection to 110VAC, 50/60Hz AC Voltage. It
must be protected from heavy soiling and moisture. Different uses to those described above
can lead to damage to the device, e.g. short circuit, electric shock etc. Always follow the
safety and installation instructions.
Warning! The device must be disconnected from the mains supply when opening the cover
or removing parts. Only transport it using the carrying handle that is designed for this purpose.
Please note! Lay the connection cables in such a way that nobody can trip over them and
they cannot be crushed or come into contact with hot objects.
Please note! Only use extension cables that are compatible with the output and in
accordance with the valid safety regulations for the device.
Please note! Make sure that the devices are disconnected from the mains power before and
during installation.

When using the Palma heater you have the choice of operation with or without the included
wet room thermostat Thermo 2. However for exact temperature regulation and energy-saving
operation we urgently recommend using the Thermo 2.

3.2 Installation of Palma heater
Warning! The distance from the inflammable objects should be at least 20”. Adjust the
heater so that there is a distance of at least 16” between the wall and the air intake opening.
Warning! A free space of 1.5 meters should be left in front of the output opening if possible.
Place the heater in your greenhouse (4).
Warning! Never install the device close to taps, wash basins or other water sources.
Warning! Only use this device indoors.
Warning! Do not cover the heater.
Warning! Do not insert any objects into the openings on the device as this risks injury,
electric shock or damage to the device.
This heater is for use on 110VAC, 50/60Hz.
Warning! Never try to operate the device using a
different voltage. The cord has a plug as shown at A in below figure. An adapter as shown at C is
available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green
grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle
is available.

11
Now insert the mains plug into the socket of the Thermo 2(5) or, if operating without the
Thermo 2, directly into the mains socket (6).
Warning! Never insert or remove the power plug with wet hands. When using a multiple socket
or an extension cable please ensure that the maximum current carrying capacity is not exceeded.
Cable drums must always be completely unrolled. Do not wrap the connection cable around the de-
vice and never operate the device with wound cable. Never pull the power cord itself; only remove
the plug from the socket holding the grips on the mains plug.
To set the Palma RAW to wintermode, see section 4.2.
To set the Palma to wintermode, see section 4.3.
To set the summer mode, see section 4.4.

4. Use the Palma and Palma RAW
4.1 General operation
The Palma air circulation heater is fitted with a selector switch and a thermostat. Use the selector
switch to choose one of the 3 possible operating modes. Set the desired room temperature using
the thermostat. An integrated operation lamp indicates heating operation (7).

13
4.2 Use the Palma RAW in winter mode
Select position 3 as the mode on the selector switch and set the thermostat to maximum. The
operation lamp will light up when the Palma 2.0 RAW starts with heating (8).
Image 8
Check the room temperature using a thermometer (9) .
Image 9

14
When the desired room temperature is reached then slowly turn the thermostat in an anticlockwise
direction until the operation lamp switches off (10).
The heater will now maintain the set temperature by re-starting the heating function when the
room temperature falls below this level. In the event of temperature discrepancies you may need
to adjust this a little.
Please note! Unfortunately it is not possible to print a temperature scale on the thermostat
switch as behavior will differ depending on size, insulation, filling level and location of each
greenhouse.
Image 10

15
4.3 Use the Palma in winter mode
Set the desired room temperature on the wet room thermostat Thermo 2 (11). The setting can
be found in the Thermo 2 operating instructions.
Select position 3 as the mode on the selector switch. And set the heater thermostat to the
maximum setting (12).
Image 11
Image 12

16
The wet room thermostat Thermo 2 will now take over temperature regulation and the Palma
heater will be switched on if the room temperature falls below the set level. If the temperature is
reached then the heater will switch off again.
4.4 Use the Palma and Palma RAW in summer mode
Please note! The Thermo 2 is not required for summer operation. Just plug the Palma
heater directly into a mains socket. In the summer months use of the air circulation mode can
achieve substantial reduction of the greenhouse temperature.
Select mode 2 on the selector switch of the Palma heater and open the door or the roof
window on your greenhouse (13). The position of the thermostat switch is irrelevant here.
The greenhouse air that is heated by the sun is constantly circulated by the air circulation mode
and thus moved outside. At the same time this measure regulates the humidity in the greenhouse
and promotes the pollination of your plants.

4.5 Safety feature
Temperature controlled circuit breaker: If the device overheats the temperature-controlled circuit
breaker will switch the device off temporarily. To switch the device back on, turn the heater off for
5 to 10 minutes to cool down (14).
Another reason for the shutdown would be blockage of the intake or outlet opening.
• In this case please remove the corresponding objects (14). It could also be an indication that
the ventilator has failed. • In this case switch the heater off, remove the plug (15) and contact an
authorized specialist to arrange repair.

Warning! The casing heats up during operation. Install the in such a way that
accidental contact is avoided. The device only cools slowly after it is switched off.
Only transport it using the carrying handle that is designed for this purpose.

5 Cleaning, maintenance, environment and disposal
5.1 Cleaning and maintenance
Warning! Switch the device off before each cleaning and leave it to cool for approximately 30
minutes before beginning cleaning. Warning! Do not use any abrasive, caustic or cleaning materi-
als. Clean the casing with a damp cloth (not wet), vacuum cleaner or feather duster.
5.2 Environment and disposal
Please note! Only dispose of devices at a corresponding collection centre.
Please note! Only authorized specialists are permitted to carry out repairs on the device.
Please contact the manufacturer or distributor in this regard.
Warning! Incorrectly executed repairs can represent a hazard for the user and other persons.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for any damage caused by frost, insufficient heating
performance for the room dimensions or insufficient heat insulation.
