The following information should be considered when installing Quartz
Infrared Heaters.
Installation should always be carried out by a qualified electrician or a
competent person in accordance with current electrical regulations, protected
by a suitably rated isolator and fuse or type3 or type C mcb.
•The heater should be mounted horizontally where possible or at a
maximum angle of 35 degrees from the horizontal using the mounting
brackets provided to ensure adequate clearances.
•If mounted on Parasols ensure the heater is left to completely cool before
closing.
•A minimum air gap of 500mm should always be allowed between the top
of the heater and the ceiling, roof or canvas.
•A safety distance of 1mtr should always be left in front of the heater.
•Heaters should not be installed in areas where hazardous vapours may be
present as defined in BS5345
•This fitting is rated classIand IP55 suitable for outdoor use. To maintain
the protection rating all connections to the mains must be done with a
minimum of IP55 equipment.
•Ensure that there is no possibility of inflammable material coming into
contact with the heater, or is too near the heater.
The essential element of the heater is the halogen filled quartz linear lamp
with a tungsten element. This operates at about 1600°C and emits short wave
infrared radiant heat.
The lamp operates at full output almost instantly and emits a radiant energy of
1.6 – 1.8 microns.

•Do not touch the heater with wet hands;
•The heater should only be used with adult supervision.

•Avoid improper use of extension cords.
Installation
•The mains lead is made from high temperature cable and as such should not be
replaced without consulting a suitable qualified electrician.
•The Fitting must always be installed using the mounting brackets provided. This
ensures correct positioning and adequate clearance.
•This unit should be mounted at a minimum of 1800mm above ground level (see
drawing below) with a minimum air gap of 500mm maintained above the heater
and the ceiling or canopy.
•A safety distance of 1mtr should always be left in front of the heater.
•Ensure that there is no possibility of inflammable material coming into contact with
the heater, or is too near the heater.
•The fitting must be earthed.
Wall mounting
Remove the bracket from the back of the heater by unscrewing the 2 x M8
bolts.
Before drilling any holes ensure that the wall is solid and that there are no
water pipes or electrical wires in the area where you are placing the heater.
Secure the bracket to the wall then refit the heater to the bracket using the 2 x
M8 bolts.
The heater must be mounted at an angle of between 45 and 90 deg. (See
drawing opposite)
Parasol mounting
Use the supplied bracket for clamping to a parasol arm. You must ensure the
canvas / material of the parasol is at least 500mm away from the back of the
heater and can not come into contact with high winds.
Maintenance
The heater contains no moving parts and therefore very little maintenance is
required other than to ensure that there is no excessive build-up of dust/dirt on
the reflectors or emitters as this can cause overheating and premature emitter
failure. To clean the appliance, turn off and disconnect from mains supply,
allow to cool then wipe with a damp cloth.
Lamp replacement
The lamp used in the fitting is robust and if knocks and shock vibrations are
avoided, will last for around 5000 hours.
To replace
1. Disconnect the heater from the power supply by unplugging from the
mains socket and wait until the body has cooled down.
2. Remove both end caps by undoing the 2 socket head screws at each end.
3. Remove the guard and end reflectors.
4. Unclip the lamp from the spring clips at each end, allowing the emitter to
move forward clear of the back reflector.
5. Unclip the reflector from the heater casing.
6. Disconnect the emitter wires from the terminals located in the electrical
box on the rear of the heater, and then remove the lamp.
7. Insert the wires of the new lamp through the holes in the heater body to
the electrical box and reconnect them into the terminals. Ensure that the
terminals are tightened correctly to make a good electrical connection.
8. Re-assemble making sure all the parts are replaced and the guard is in
position
