If Your Heater Does Not Work
 Check that power is available to the heater. The LED
light on the SL receiver should be illuminated
 Check that the fuse in the spur unit has not blown. This
can be done by replacing the fuse with another
suitable fuse.
 Check if the heater is paired with the SL controller
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 in
accordance with the 17 edition of the IEE Wiring
Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant Local Authority
Bye-Laws. This heater is fitted with a 3-core mains supply
cable and 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.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
When refitting the lid care must be taken to align the light
pipe on the lid with the indicator light.
Assembly
The Twin-Zone heater is designed to provide widespread
warmth (broad beam) or a more concentrated beam of
heat over a localised area (narrow beam), and the
selection of either is made by adjusting the position of the
element. This is determined by ensuring that the ceramic
blocks supporting the silica tubing are mounted into the
heater body in the correct position. Long end of ceramic
blocks downwards will give narrow beam and short end
downwards will give broad beam. (See Fig 2).

Assembly
The heater is supplied with the elements fitted in the
broad beam position and connected ready for
installation.
To change the beam width to the narrow setting
Remove the terminal box covers.
Remove the reflector from the body of the heater.
Disconnect the element tails from the terminal blocks.
Holding the elements by the ceramic bushes, lift
the element out of the retaining slots in the body.
Rotate the ceramic blocks into the narrow beam
position (long end downward, as Fig. 2) and replace.
The heater can now be reassembled in the
reverse order.
ENSURE THAT THE CERAMIC BLOCKS ARE ALL INSERTED
INTO THE BODY IN THE SAME OFFSET POSITION.
LONG END DOWNWARDS FOR NARROW BEAM.
Suspension
Mounting brackets for suspension purposes are
supplied with each heater. See diagrams for
alternative methods. Provision is made for mounting
by 20 mm conduit. Where the mounting brackets are
joined at the swivel point, the M6 shakeproof washer,
supplied in the mounting pack, should be used.
Angled
The diagram below illustrates a pair of heaters, which
should be adjusted to the narrow beam position,
suspended from the ceiling. Two heaters can be
mounted at 450to the vertical, thus giving wider
radiation from a single point and saving extra wiring.
Wall Mounting
The heater can be wall mounted, using the brackets
shown.
A safety guard, catalogue number HE6350, is
available if required for particular applications.
Element Replacement
A complete set of replacement elements (element
spiral assembled in silica tube) is available for all
heaters. When installing replacement elements the
cleaning instructions given previously should be
observed.

Operation
This heater can only be used when connected to a SL
Wireless Controller. Each SL controller can control any
number of heaters providing they are in the RF range.
The heater has an indicator light positioned on the
fascia panel. The light may be:
Green -when no heat is needed
Red -when the heater is on full power
SL Receiver Installation
The heater is supplied with SL wireless receiver pre
wired. The cable length is approximately 0.9m. The
controller should be screwed to the wall with 2x
number 4 or 5 screws and suitable wall plugs. Care
should be taken when installing the receiver. It must
not be positioned above, behind or below the
heater. Ideal position is on the side, minimum 250mm
from the heater. When the heater is suspended from
the ceiling, the SL receiver should be installed on the
ceiling as far as possible from the heater to avoid
damaging the electronic components when
connecting mains cable to the receiver. If the cable
between the heater and the SL receiver needs
replacing or extending, the same 2.5mm high
temperature flexible cable must be use.
