General instructions
Read these instructions carefully before
installation and use. Keep this manual for
future reference. During installation and
maintenance and when replacing the lamp
the heater should always be disconnected
from the power supply.
The element of IRCF is a halogen quartz
lamp that is operating at about 2200 ºC.
The guarantee is only valid if the heater is
installed and used in a way that is described
in this instruction.
Application area
IRCF is especially designed for spot heating
of premises with large air volumes, such as
churches, aircraft hangars, industries and
warehouses.This infrared heater is tested and
approved according to the EMC- and LVD
regulations and is CE compliant.
Normally IRCF is used to give comfort for
people in the area in front of or under the
heater.
With its high efficiency and compact size it
is perfect for many difficult applications.
Mounting
After unpacking make sure that the appliance
is complete and shows no signs of visible
damage.
Make sure that the voltage is the same as
indicated on the rating label.
IRCF must be mounted at least 2,3 m above
the floor.
Normally the heater is mounted at 3 – 6 m
height, for spotheating the appliance should
not be mounted higher than 5 m. The best
comfort is experienced when a person is
heated from two directions.
Enclosed in the package there is a wall
bracket. Make sure that the wall is firm and
that proper screws are used.
Make sure that the appliance is directed
at the surface that shall be heated, for
adjustments se fig. 2.
Fig. 3 shows other mounting alternatives,
chains and S-hooks needed for such
installations are to be purchased separately.
Following important notes must be followed:
- The heater should always be installed
horizontally and only by using the brackets
provided.
- The heater must not be located directly
below a wall socket.
- Make sure that the power supplying cable
does not come in contact with the lamps or
is reached by the thermal heat.
- The minimum distances according to page
2 must be kept.
- Do not use the heater directly near a
bathtub, a shower or a swimming pool.
- The heater must be installed so that a
person standing in a shower can reach
neither the switch nor the heater.
- The heater must not be installed in areas
where hazardous vapours may be present.
Electrical installation
The electrical installation should be
carried out by a qualified electrician and in
conformity with prevailing regulations. When
fixed an all-pole switch with at least 3 mm
breaking gap should precede the appliance.
If a cable connects the heater it should be of
type H05 RN-F or similar.
N.B: The cable glands must be classified as
the heater.
Start up (E)
When the unit is used for the first time or
after a long period of disuse, smoke or odour
may result from dust or dirt that has collected
on the element. This is completely normal
and disappears after a short time.
Residual current circuit breaker (E)
When the installation is protected by means
of a residual current circuit breaker, which
trips when the appliance is connected,
this may be due to moisture in the heating
element. When an appliance containing a
heater element has not been used for a long
period or stored in a damp environment,
moisture can enter the element.
This should not be seen as a fault, but is
simply rectified by connecting the appliance
to the mains supply via a socket without a
