How an Ecovector
®
fan convector works
Hot water from your central heating system passes through the heat exchanger transferring its heat
to the aluminium fins. Cooler air is drawn in by the fan and heated as it passes through the heat
exchanger before being Expelled gently back into the room. Fan convectors use around 5% less
energy than a radiator to heat up a room, give a more even temperature spread and achieve the
required temperature in much less time.
This heater is fitted with a low temperature cut
out thermostat that prevents the fan from
operating until the central heating system water
passing through the heat exchanger reaches 38°.
Heating
Ensure your central heating system is on, the heat
output switch set to normal l and the fan- only
switch set to RED (Heating). Providing the water
temperature in the system is more than 38°C and
the thermostat/s controlling your central heating
system is calling for heat your heater will switch on.
If you require a faster warm up move the heat output
switch to boost ll. moving the heat output switch to 0
will turn off the heater.
Air Circulation (summer use)
Ensure central heating is off. Set the fan-only switch
to BLUE and the heat output switch to either l or ll.
Ecovector
®
will run to provide a cooling flow of air.
If the heater is being used in conjunction with a room
thermostat, the thermostat must be set to maximum.
Fault Finding
This heater is covered by a free five-year parts and labour guarantee. Please refer to the fault
finding section of the installation guide for advice. In the event of difficulty please contact us
on 01 45 3 4560. it will be helpful if you do not disconnect the heater from the central
heating system.

INSTALLATION & USER GUIDE

Introduction
This heater is primarily intended for installation onto a wall at high level. The maximum
recommended installation height is .1 metres to the underside of the heater. There is
no clearance required above or to the side of the heater.
Electrical installations for these heaters must only be carried out by a suitably qualified
person.
Model HL 1000-12V
This model is designed for use in bathrooms and other high humidity areas. For these
applications it is essential that the heater, transformer and fused spur are installed in line
with current regulations relative to fixed current equipment in high humidity areas, wet
rooms and/or bath and shower rooms.
The transformer has been designed to fit into a surface-mounted or recessed pattress
box (not supplied) similar to those used for shaver sockets (47mm deep). The
transformer can be mounted horizontally or vertically however it must not be directly
above the heater but should be accessible after completion of the installation.
Supply to the transformer must be via a 3 amp fused spur. The fused spur must not be
directly above the heater but should be accessible after completion of the installation.
Twin core cable is fitted to the product for connection to transformer. HL 1000-1 V
should not be earthed
Models HL 1000, HL 2300, HL 2900 & HL 4000
These models must not be installed in bathrooms or other high humidity areas.
Ecovector® is classified as a fixed appliance and electrical connection should be via a
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.
This appliance must be earthed.
For models HL 900 and HL 4000 we recommended that when securing the product to
the wall two persons should lift the heater into position.
All models
These heaters are designed for use on standard two-pipe pumped central heating
systems. Pipes are 15mm for models HL 1000, HL 1000-1 V, HL 300, HL 900 and
mm for model HL 4000. Either pipe may be used as flow or return. These heaters are
not suitable for one-pipe systems.
We recommend the use of full flow isolating valves. The valves should be accessible after
completion of the installation. We also advise the fitting of an air vent at the highest
point on either the flow or return pipe to remove any air trapped within the system.
To avoid the possibility of vibration these heaters must be fitted on a flat even surface.
To conform to Building Regulations Part L (Part J in Scotland) these Ecovector® heaters
can be controlled by a remote wall mounted room thermostat (Smith’s Environmental
Products Part No. RT00 ). For further details please contact us on 01 45 3 4560.

Dear Customer,
We are delighted you have chosen one of our products and trust you are
satisfied with the installation. We would ask you to take a few minutes to
read the User Guide to help you gain maximum benefit from your Ecovector
®
fan convector. As with all our products your Ecovector
®
is covered by a
free five-year parts and labour guarantee and we would be grateful if you

P.s Your Ecovector
®
is designed to operate as part of your central
heating system in the same way as a panel radiator. Providing you
leave the heat output switch in either the normal I or boost position
II and the fan-only switch set to RED your Ecovector
®
will switch
on and off automatically with your central heating system.

Heat output performance continued from page 5
Heat outputs are tested in accordance with BS4856. The temperature of the water in
the
Central heating system will affect the heat output of this heaters. ∆t 60°C assumes a
Mean water Temperature of 80°C and a room temperature of 0°C. ∆t 50°C assumes a
mean water temperature of 70°C and a room temperature of 0°C. ∆t 0°C assumes a
Mean water Temperature of 40°C and a room temperature of 0°C.
Fault Finding
1. Fan does not run on any switch setting.
a. Check the power supply is turned on.
b. Check the fuse in the fused spur.
c. Check the wiring connections at the fused spur.
. No heat output on settings l or ll.
a. Vent any trapped air from the system (with the central heating system
turned OFF).
b. Check the central heating is turned ON.
c. If fitted ensure the room thermostat is calling for heat.
d. Balance the central heating system if installed on the same circuit as panel
radiators and increase the circulating pump speed if required.
e. Increase the boiler water temperature.
In the event of difficult please contact us on 01245 324560. It will be helpful
if ou do not disconnect the heater from the central heating s stem.

1. Release the outer casing by
removing the screws on
the underside of the
casing.
3. Connect the heating
system flow and return
pipes to the heater pipe
work. Do not use soldered
fittings to the heater pipe
work as the heat generated
could damage internal
wiring and components. We
recommend the use of full
flow isolating valves. The
valves should be accessible
after completion of the
installation. We also advise
the fitting of an air vent at
the highest point on either
the flow or the return pipe
to remove any air trapped
within the system. Check
for water leaks. Vent any
trapped air from the
heating sy
stem
.
2. Secure heater to the wall
using fixings suitable for
wall and level. If necessary
use packing to compensate
for uneven wall surfaces.
Maximum recommended
installation height is .1
metres to the underside of
the heater. For models
900 & 4000 we
recommend that two
persons should lift the
heater into position.
