Infrared Heating Unit PION Classic®

Heating by means of infrared radiation is highly eective and reasonably economical. It is currently
considered to be the most eective type of heating. Heat transfer by means of infrared rays causes
that 93 % of the radiated heat is absorbed by the oor, walls and objects in the room, which then
warm up the surrounding air.
PION Classic® infrared heater is designed to be installed either on the ceiling or on the walls. The heating
side of the panel heats up to 250 °C, evenly radiating heat rays and heating up the surrounding surfaces,
which then use the accumulated heat to warm up the surrounding air. Unlike conventional convection
heating, the vertical temperature distribution is homogeneous; the air near the oor is slightly warmer
than the air at head level of a standing person so one feels very comfortable.
This heating method has many advantages over the other types, such as increased area for heat transfer,
occurrence of rotating columns of dust limited to a minimum, generally slower cooling of the room, mi-
nimum heating of air under the ceiling and signicantly reduced drying of air. All these features in turn
contribute to the conservation of electricity, thus ranking infrared heating among the most convenient
and at the same time energy ecient methods of modern heating.
Dear Customer,
We would like to thank you for the trust you have put in our company by purchasing
the PION Classic® infrared heater.
We rmly believe that you will be satised with its thermal comfort, convenience and
low cost of use.
Please take a few minutes to review this manual, which will provide you with
the necessary information about installing and using your new heater.

Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions for Unit Operation
•Use the heater solely for the heating purposes for which it is stipulated.
•It is strictly prohibited to aect any changes to the heater’s construction. Any such
changes will invalidate the product’s warranty.
•Install the units in strict compliance with the instructions stipulated in the sections
dedicated to the physical and power-grid installation of the heater.
•The heaters may be used for the purposes of heating residential and/or oce spaces;
with the exception of premises where there is a danger of explosion.
•The heaters may be used in humid interiors; however, they must be kept out of direct
contact with water or other liquids.
•Do not submerge the heating units in water or other types of liquid to avoid damaging
them.
•While hot, the appliance’s power cord must not come into contact with the unit’s
heating surface or touch it in any way.
•When installed, it is forbidden to hang or attach objects onto the heating unit and/or
cover its surface.
•After installation, when hung from the room’s ceiling, the solidity of the xtures should
be tested by applying a load roughly equivalent to 12kg in the middle of the unit’s body.
•Any repairs to the heater must be carried out solely by the qualied personnel of an
authorised service provider; when repairing the heating unit only original spare parts
may be used.
•Do not touch the heat-emitting panel as this reduces the heater’s function/al eciency.
Safety Precautions Regarding Electricity
•The heater may only be connected to an alternating current source with a 230V voltage.
•The heaters may be connected to the power grid only by means of the designated
power cord.
•Should you require a xed power grid connection using thermostats, commission
a professional to carry the installation out on your behalf
•Any incorrect electrical installation of the appliance will invalidate the warranty.
•The heater must be grounded using a safety device safeguarding the appliance from
high-voltage and short-circuit risks.
Children’s Safety
•Prevent children from handling or coming into contact with the heating unit whatsoever.
WARNING:
While in operation the external temperature of the heat-emitting panel may reach
250 °C. Due to the imminent danger of suering burns, it is strictly prohibited to
touch the surface of the heater while in operation as well as shortly after switching
it o.

•Open the package and take out the heater. Place it on a horizontal surface of your choice
with the heat-emitting panel face down.
•Select a place on the ceiling that is suitable for the unit’s installation and mark the spots
where you will screw in or anchor the hooks–please refer to the installation scheme at all
times.
•When connecting the heating units to the power grid, please use appropriate type of
power cord. The appliance’s power cord must not
be left lying on the unit‘s surface while hot or touch it
in any way!
•Drive the end of the chain with the wider loop tip
into the groove that runs lengthwise along the top
side of the casing and drag it to the desired position
on either side of the unit.
•Screw the hooks rmly in and then hang the heating unit by the metallic chains.
•Before switching the unit on wipe the heat-emitting panel with industrial alcohol.
•The heater should reach the selected temperature within approximately thirty minutes
after switching it on.

WARNING:
You may detect odours emanating from the appliance the rst time it is used. This
happens when the substances used for the conservation of technical parts start
burning o. This smell shall, however, disappear shortly and constitutes no cause for
concern.
WARNING:
Make sure you adhere to the stipulated minimum mounting height (H) during the
installation of the heating unit.
The standard enclosed xture set ensures safe mounting of the heater to ceilings with
various types of natural surfaces (wood, concrete, metal etc.). If you wish to mount
the unit to a ceiling with an articial surface nish (e.g. PVC) then standard mounting
is allowed only if the plastic material has a thermal tolerance of 80 °C or more.

Power-Grid Connection Instructions
If you have chosen xed power grid connection for installing your heating unit, please
commission a professional to carry the installation out on your behalf. For this type of
installation, the following instructions must be adhered to:
•The heating unit must be connected to a power grid by means of a power cord with
a correct and sucient current capacity.
•Attach the power cord wire ends to the relevant clips on the heater as indicated.
•Right from the external casing of the electrical clips the power cord must lead vertically
straight up towards the ceiling, parallel to the chains. The power cord may never be left
lying on the heater while its surface is hot—the cable would come to harm.
•Make sure the correct polarity is observed.
•When connecting the unit to a power grid while using a thermostat the installation must
be carried out in compliance with the instructions provided by its manufacturer.
•The thermostat should be mounted 1.5 meters above the oor. When selecting its posi-
tion, avoid draught and such zones that would put the thermostat under direct impact
of heat rays or other types of heat sources, should you wish to avoid malfunctions.
Unit Operation and Maintenance
The heating unit you have purchased basically does not require any maintenance or
service. There are only two tasks necessary for ensuring its continuous reliable operation
over the years:
•If dusty, use a wet cloth to clean the casing and use industrial alcohol for wiping the
heat-emitting panel (only when the heater is o and cool).
•Once a year, prior to the heating season, check whether the wire contacts of the power
cord are in working condition and make sure the clip connectors have not come loose.

The infrared heater may only be used under the following conditions:
•The ambient temperature must be between -50 °С to +50 °С.
•Relative air humidity at a temperature of 25 °С must not exceed 80% .
Problem Solution Tips
Insucient

• Check what the voltage is on the unit’s terminal clamps, the values should read
230 V +/- 10 V when in operation.
• Make sure that the thermostat is in perfect condition.
• Compare the values indicated on the thermostat with the reading of your
standard indoor thermometer, duly located next to the thermostat. The devia-
tion in thermostat start-up must fall within the range of +/- 2 °C.

not heat •Make sure there is power in the power grid.
• Check whether the power cord is intact.
• Check all contacts at the unit’s terminal board.
• Check the power plug contact points .
• See whether the thermostat is working properly.
• Turn to authorized dealers for help.
The heater should be stored in its original package on such premises where temperature ran-
ges between -50 °С and +50° С and air humidity does not exceed 80%. The heater should be
safeguarded against banging, dust and moisture. The heat-emitting panel should be treated
and handled with extra care; don’t touch its surface. Should it ever get stained then you may
wipe it with industrial alcohol.
