essential requirements of the gas appliances directive.
Product: gas room heater
Model: MatriX 450/500-I/IIL/IIR/III
MatriX 450/650-I/IIL/IIR/III
Applicable EC directives: 90/396/EEC
Harmonized standards applied: NEN EN 613:2000 and NEN EN
613/A1:2003
This declaration is invalid, if without the written permission of Glen
Dimplex Benelux:
• Changes are made to the appliance.
• The re is connected to other exhaust materials than
specied.
2 Safety instructions
• The unit must be installed and subsequently serviced every
year and maintained in accordance with these instructions
and the applicable national and local regulations.
• Ensure that the data on the type label matches the local gas
type and pressure.
• The settings and the construction of the re must not be
changed!
• Do not place extra imitation wood or other smoldering
material on the burner or in the combustion chamber.
• The appliance is for atmosphere and heating purposes. This
means that all surfaces, including the glass, can be very hot
(over 100°C). Exceptions to this are the bottom of the re
and the control elements.
• Do not place any combustible materials within 0,5m of the
radiation area of the re.
• Through the natural air circulation of the re moisture and
uncured volatile components from paint, building materials
and carpeted oors, etc. are attracted. These parts can settle
as soot on cold surfaces. Therefore do not light the re
shortly after installation.
• Light the re for the rst time and run for several hours on the
highest setting, so that the paint can cure. Provide adequate
ventilation, so that any fumes can disperse; we recommend
vacating the room during this process.
> Please note:
1. All transport packaging is removed.
2. No children and pets in the room present.
3 Installation requirements
3.1 Fire
• This device can be built into an existing or new chimney.
• For devices with exible gas pipes, the gas regulator block is
mounted on the right side of the re for transport reason (g
1.6). The gas regulator block with the receiver and the I.T.C.
must be placed on a distance of max. 30cm behind a service
door.
When desired, there are 2 metres burner pipes
(To prevent damage to cables and pipes during transport,
these are tied together with tie-wraps.
Remove it to ensure the proper functioning of the appliance).
3.2 False chimney breast or other structure
• The false chimney should be of non-combustible material.
• The space above the re should always be ventilated using
the supplied grids or a similar alternative with minimal free
passage of 200cm² per grid.
• The false chimney breast and its construction may not rest on
the appliance.
• It is not permitted to start directly on the device with
concentric cut down pipe material.
The air supply could then possibly be closed.
3.3 Flue pipe and terminal requirements
• For the supply of the combustion air and the discharge of the
combustion gases you should always use the Flue materials
specied by Faber. Only when using these materials can
Faber guarantee the safe and proper operation of the
appliance.
• The outside of the concentric ue material can heat up to
+/-150°C. Ensure, when penetrating a ammable wall or
ceiling, construction with proper insulation and protection.
And ensure respective distance.
• Ensure for great discharge lengths that the concentric
discharge material is supported every 2m, so that the weight
of the material is not supported by the re.
• It is not permitted to start directly on the device with
concentric cut down pipe material.
The air supply could then possibly be closed.

Installation Instructions
13
3.4 Terminals
The combined supply and discharge can be done both via wall or
through the roof or through an existing chimney. Verify if the
position of the terminal meets the local regulations regarding
ventilation openings.
The ue outlet can end on an external wall or a roof. Check
whether the outlet desired by you complies with local requirements
concerning good function and ventilation systems.
> Please note:
For a proper functioning the terminal should be at least 0,5m. away
from:
• Corners of the building
• Roof overhangs and balconies
• Eaves (with the exception of the roof ridge, see Chapter 15)
3.4.1 C11, wall terminal
For a facade or wall outlet use a wall terminal (see g. 1.9 C11).
Depending on the calculation this can be a diameter of
130/200mm or 100/150mm.
3.4.2 C31, roof terminal
For a at or pits roof outlet use a long roof outlet with a diameter of
100/150mm (see g. 1.9 C31).
3.4.3 C91, existing chimney
For an existing chimney use the short chimney outlet with a
diameter of 100/150mm (see g. 1.9 C91).
In this case the existing chimney acts as air inlet an inserted exible
stainless steel pipe discharges the ue gas. The top and the bottom
should be airtight.
Depending on the calculated outlet diameter, use a exible
stainless steel tube of Ø100mm or Ø130mm with CE marking
for 600°C.
> Please note:
The minimum chimney diameter for a 130mm exible stainless
steel pipe must 200x200mm. and for a 100mm exible stainless
steel pipe 150x150mm.
3.5 Existing chimney
You can also connect to an existing replace chimney. The existing
chimney functions then as air supply and a exible stainless steel
tube drawn through the chimney carries the ue gases. The exible
stainless steel tube of Ø100mm must have a CE mark have up to
600°C.
The chimney must have the following conditions:
• The channel of the chimney must be at least 150x150mm.
• There should be no more than one device on a chimney.
• The chimney must be in good condition:
- no leakage
- well cleaned
For more information about connections to existing chimneys, ask
the installation manual “chimney connection set”.
4 Preparation and installation
instructions
4.1 Gas connection
The gas connection must comply with the applicable local
standards.
We advise using a Ø 15mm gas connection directly from the gas
meter to the appliance, with a shut-off valve in the proximity of the
appliance, which must always be freely accessible.
Position the gas connection so that it is easily accessible at all
times for service, and that the burner unit can be disassembled.
4.2 Electrical connection
The power supply must comply with the applicable local standards.
A wall socket 230VAC/50Hz must be installed near the re.
For power supply make use of the included plug adapter.
See g 2.8 or 2.9 for the wiring diagram of this connection and the
LED Symbio module.
A = plug adapter
B = control unit
C = receiver
D = LED Symbio module
E = control block
F = magnet valve
G = 2nd thermocouple
4.2.1 Smart-Home installation
You can connect the control unit to the receiver with an external
source, such as a Domotica home automation system, using the
5-wire pin connector.
(Part G60-ZCE/1000, art.no.: 06022950). The total length of the
cable may not exceed 8m. Signal relay (gold-plated contacts) or
opto-couples are recommended!
4.2.2 Faber ITC (Intelligent Technical Controller)
The ITC gives you more options, such as ECO control, control,
error messages, maintenance advice and such.

4.4.1 Hanging on the wall 450/500-650-IIL, -IIR and -III
The appliance can be wall-mounted with the optional wall bracket
(see g. 1.8).
4.5 Installing the ue materials
• When penetrating a non-combustible wall or ceiling the
opening must be at least 5mm larger than the diameter of the
discharge material. At a combustible wall or ceiling is this
100mm larger than the diameter of the drainage material.
• Horizontal sections should be installed with a slope towards
the re (3 degrees).
• Build the system from the re. If this is not possible you can
make use of an extendable adapter section.
• For truing up the exhaust system use the 0,5m. pipe, which
can be shortened and ensure that the inner pipe is always
2cm longer than the outer pipe.
• Parts, which are shortened, must be secured with a
self-tapping screw.
• Wall and roof terminals can also be cut.
• Do not insulate but ventilate built-in ue material (approx.
100cm²).
4.6 Constructing the false chimney
If possible, carry out a performance test at the re before nally
nishing the installation.
4.6.1 False chimney
* Construct the false chimney of non-combustible material in
combination with metal proles or of masonry/concrete
blocks.
* Be aware of ventilation grids and service door (see g. 1.0 to
1.5). Place above the ventilation grids a screen plate made of
non-combustible material (see g. 1.1, 1.3 or 1.5)
* Always use a lintel or reinforcing bars while bricking the
outlet. They should not be placed directly on the re.
* Built the false chimney against the appliance (see g. 1.0 to
1.5). Keep a minimum distance of 2mm between the false
chimney and the appliance, because of the extension of the
appliance.
4.6.2 Installation and nishing

the re is used.
6 Placing the decoration material
It is not permitted to use other or to add more material in the
combustion chamber.
Keep the pilot light always free of decoration material!
See g. 4.0 to 4.5 or the included log set card:
• Divide the glass granulate on the perforated bottom plate.
• Place the 2 large wood blocks and make sure there is no
glass granulate underneath.
• Place the other wood blocks.
• Divide the chips on the glass granulate and the perforated
bottom plate.
• Start the re as described in the user manual.
• Assess whether the ame distribution and the Symbio-effect
is good. Move or remove any chips/glass granulate to a good
Symbio-effect.
• Replace the glass (Chapter 5) and check the re image.
7 Checking the installation
7.1 Checking the main burner ignition, pilot ame
Ignite the re as described in the user manual.
• Check that the pilot ame is well above the main burner and
not covered by chips.
• Check the ignition of the main burner on full and small
setting. (Ignition must be smooth and quiet).
7.2 Checking for gas leaks
Check with a gas leak nder or spray all connections and pipes for
gas leakage.
7.3 Checking the burner pressure and primary
pressure
Check that the burner pressure and primary pressure match with
the information listed in the manual, Chapter 14 “Technical
specications”.
Measuring the primary pressure:
• Close the shut-off valve.
• Turn measuring nipple B (see g. 1.7) some turns open and
connect a measuring hose to the gas regulator.
• Take this measurement at highest setting of the re and when
the re is set to pilot light.
• Do not connect the unit if the pressure is too high.
Measuring the burner pressure:
Check the burner pressure only with proper primary pressure.
• Turn measuring nipple A (see g. 1.7) some turns open and
connect a measuring hose to the gas regulator.
• The pressure must correspond to the value indicated in the
technical specications of this manual. In case of deviation contact
the manufacturer.
> Please note:
Close all pressure measuring nipples and check for gas leakage.
7.4 Checking the ame image
Let the re burn for at least 20 minutes at highest setting and check
the ame for:
* Flame distribution
* Color of the ames
If one or both points are not acceptable then check:
• The log set layout and/or the amount of glass granulate/chips
on the bottom plate.
• The pipe connections for leaks (in case of blue ames).
• Whether the correct ue restrictor is tted. (see g, 2.0 F, rst
remove hatch “G”).
• The outlet.
- Wall terminal right side up
- Roof terminal on the right position
- If the maximum horizontal ue lengths is not exceeded.
7.5 Flue gas analyzer
If you are in possession of a CO/CO2 ue gas analyzer, then it is
possible to check the supply air and the combustion gases.
There are two measuring pipes at the front of the re between the
mounting frame and the glass (g. 2.1).
The ratio CO2 and CO must not be greater than 1:100.
Example:
CO2 is 4% and CO is 400ppm, measured at the highest point.
If the ratio is greater than 1:100 or exhaust gases are measured in
the supply air, then also check above points.

10 Conversion to other gas type
The conversion to a different gas type may only be performed by a
qualied installer/dealer.
10.1 Conversion from natural gas to propane
(or vice versa)
This can only be done by replacing the burner. To do so, please
contact your dealer.
Specify with your order always the type and serial number of the
device.
11 Flue calculation
A simple way to calculate whether the exhaust conguration is
possible in combination with your re, use the free “Faber Flue App”
and download it from:
INTERNET:
BlackBerry, Android, PC (with Google Chrome browser)
APP store:
iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Google Play:
Android smartphones and Android tablets.
Alternatively use the exhaust calculation table (see chapter 13).
The alternatives of outlet lengths and any restrictors are set out in
the restrictor table. In the table we work with start length (STL), total
vertical height (TVH) and total horizontal length (THL).
• Start length (STL):
This is the rst part that is placed on the re and represents a
certain value (g. 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 A, N and F). This value is in
the top row of the table (see restrictor table 11.1 and 11.2).
• Total vertical height (TVH):
TVH is the difference in height measured from the top of the unit to
the outlet; it can be measured or determined from the building plan.
For clarication see the TVH indication in the drawings (g. 12.1,
12.2 and 12.3).
• Total horizontal length (THL):
THL is the total horizontal length and consists of elbows and pipes
which are entirely in the horizontal plane. Elbows I, K and Q and
the elements H, J, L, M, P and R (g. 12.1 and 12.2).
• Length horizontal plane:
The horizontal length consists of the elements H, J, L, M, P and R
(g. 12.1 and 12.2).
• Elbows 90° in the horizontal plane:
Horizontal bends are bends which are entirely in the horizontal
plane (g. 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 I, K and Q).
• Bends 45° or 30° in the horizontal plane:
Horizontal bends are bends which are entirely in the horizontal
plane.
• Elbows 90° vertical to horizontal plane:
These are 90° elbows, which proceed from horizontal to vertical
(g. 12.2 and 12.3 G, O and S).
• Bends 45° or 30 °vertical to horizontal plane:
These are 30° or 45° bends with a vertical offset of less than 45°
(g.12.1 B and D).

Installation Instructions
17
• Pipes under a tilt angle:
These are pipes which are vertically ascending at an angle of 30°
or 45° (g. 12.1 C). Fill in only in combination with at least 2x 30 or
45° bends in the vertical part.
• Restrictor table:
See the restrictor table at the right vertical (TVH) and horizontal
length (THL).
For “x” and if the values are outside the table, then the combination
is not allowed. Only then adjust the TVH or THL.
If a value is indicated, check that the calculated STL value is not
lower than indicated in the table. In this case STL must be adjusted.
The found value indicates the width of the restrictor (“0” means no
restrictor). Standard is a restrictor of 30mm installed (see g, 2.0 F,
rst remove hatch “G”).
