Models
These units are 1035mm wide 4.5kW & 6kW
modular heaters designed for mounting above
doorways and similar entrances, and may be
used as space heaters. 622mm wide 3kW and
4.5kW modules are also available.
Thermally Operated Cut-Out
The appliance is fitted with a thermally
operated cut-out (TOC). This is a safety device,
which switches the heater off if, for any reason,
the appliance overheats. The TOC can only be re-set
after the appliance has cooled down. In order to re-
set the TOC, proceed as follows:
 Switch off appliance at mains and leave for
approximately 10 minutes.
 Switch appliance back on and TOC will re-
set.
 Ensure that the appliance is functioning
correctly. If the TOC control operates
again, the appliance should be checked
by a competent electrician.
The heater carries a ‘Do Not Cover’ label to warn
the user that if the appliance is covered, there is a
risk of overheating.
Maintenance
Always ensure that the main external electricity
supply is switched off before attending to the
servicing of your Claudgen heater.
To obtain best results from your heater it is necessary
to avoid the build up of dust and dirt within the unit
and on the air inlet and discharge grilles. For this
reason regular cleaning is necessary, paying
particular attention to the removal of dirt build up on
the rotor blades. A single drop of light oil should be
applied to the motor bearing from time to time.
If Your Heater Does Not Work
 Check that power is available to the heater. The
LED light should be illuminated
 Check that the thermal cut-out has not operated.
Follow the reset instructions given under the
section headed ‘Thermal Operated Cut-out’.
 Check that the fuse in the spur unit has not blown.
This can be done by replacing the fuse with
another suitable fuse.
Should none of the above remedies work, then
telephone the helpline number shown in these
instructions (UK ONLY). Do not attempt to repair the
heater.
Connection to the Main Supply
Electrical installation should be carried out by a
competent installer, preferably registered with
NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical
Installation Contracting) in accordance with the 17th
edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations, (BS.7671), and
any relevant Local Authority Bye-Laws. The Heat-
Zone can be connected in a number of ways
depending on the form of control required.
Whichever method is used, it should be permanently
connected to the electricity supply via a double
pole switch having 3mm gap on each pole. A
switched Fused Connection unit to BS.1363. Part 4 is
a recommended mains supply connection
accessory to ensure compliance with safety
requirements applicable to fixed-wiring installation.
Note: When switched on for the first time the
appliance may emit a slight smell. This is purely the
evaporation of a fluid used in the manufacturing
process.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

Mounting
When mounted over a standard shop doorway
the unit should be fitted as low as possible and not
more than 2.3 meters from ground level. A single
unit will provide reasonable coverage for a one
metre doorway, and for wider doorways units can
be mounted end to end.
The unit should be positioned so that the airflow is
not obstructed by any part of the doorframe.
Installation
Carefully unpack the unit and remove the top cov-
er fixing screws. The heater may be mounted using
the mounting bracket provided.
Loosen mounting screws, allowing the mounting
bracket to be removed from the unit. Making sure
that the mounting bracket is horizontal, fix the
bracket to the wall using 4 x No 8 wood screws.
Place the unit on the mounting bracket ensuring
the washers are spaced as shown on diagram 2 (a
plain washer either side of the mounting bracket).
Tighten screws to hold the unit at the required an-
gle.
Wall bracket assembly
The heater may also be mounted directly onto a suitable wall or bearer by four No. 8 wood screws
through the holes provided in the back of the unit casing. Keyhole slots are provided for the top two
fixings.
Electrical connections
These units are suitable for connection to a 230/240 volt 50 Hz single phase ac supply. The heaters con-
sume 4.5kW & 6kW respectively at 240 volts when switched to the full heat position.
Model HE8320 –4.5kW
