INSTALLATION & USER GUIDE

INTRODUCTION
In the event of items missing or visible damage please contact us on 01245
324560.
This heating appliance is intended for mounting on a wall at low level. The
minimum recommended installation height is 150cm (6 inches) from the floor.
There is no clearance required on either side of the heater.
This heater must not be used in bathrooms or other high humidity areas.
Eco-Powerad® units are designed for use on two-pipe pumped central heating
systems and are also suitable with use in a system where hot water is generated
from renewable sources. This product is not suitable for one-pipe heating
systems. Pipe connections are 15mm.
We recommend the use of Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV”S) to connect the
unit to the heating system and to control the room temperature.
Please note, only reversible angle valves are suitable.
Connections into each end of radiator are via 15mm copper tube. Not ½ female
iron.
Make sure the male iron fitting supplied with the rad valves are removed, so
connections can be made via the compression fitting.
Alternately this heater can be used in conjunction with a wall mounted remote
room thermostat. Refer to the manufacturers instructions supplied with the
thermostat.
Eco-Powerad® is classified as a fixed appliance and electrical connection should
be via a double pole 3A fused spur.
The fused spur must not be directly above the heater but should be accessible
after completion of the installation.
If the pre-wired mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons. The appliance must
be earthed.
To avoid possibility of vibration, this product must be installed on a flat, even
surface.
To comply with Building Regulations Part L (Part J in Scotland) this heater is fitted
and controlled by an integral room thermostat.
Please note the guarantee may be invalidated if this product is not installed and
used in accordance with this guide.

Heating
Ensure your central heating is ON and set the Theromstatic Radiator Valve
(TRV) or room thermostat (if fitted) to the required position .
Set the fan speed switch to the desired position (I or II). Providing the water
temperature in the system is more than 38°C and the thermostat controlling
your central heating system is calling for heat, the heater will switch on.
Moving the switch to (0) will turn off the heater.

Your Eco-Powerad® heater is designed to operate as part of your central
heating system in the same way as a panel radiator. It will switch on and off
automatically with you central heating system.

transferring its heat to the aluminium fins, room air is drawn in the top grille
and heated as it passes through the heat exchanger before being gently
expelled back into the room at floor level.

ends on either side of unit using (TRV”s) Thermostatic Radiator valves (not

Take care not to stress or overtighten fittings as this could damage the unit
pipework. (Note- If the heater is being wired in conjunction with a wall
mounted remote room thermostat is is recommended that isolating valves are
fitted to the flow and return pipes in place of TRV”s)
Check for water leaks. Remove any trapped air from the system via the vent
valve via the access holes in either side of the unit (if the flow in connected to
the right hand side then the opposite side vent must be bled and vice versa.)
Do not over tighten the air vent
