4.2 Chain suspension
Eclipse heaters can be chain hung from a ceiling.
• When ceiling hanging the Eclipse heater, ensure
the minimum distance from the ceiling is adhered
to as shown in Fig. E. and maintain the minimum
distance to the oor.
• Please refer to Table 1 for the recommended
posioning of the heater with regards to minimu
distances.
• Do not install the heater in a corner!
• Always allow the heater to cool before aempng
to reposion/move. Never aempt to move the
heater while it is switched on!
• Observe the minimum safe distance between the
heater body and inammable surfaces and objects
when mounng.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
1. Please refer to Table 1 for
recommended posioning
of the heater. When hanging
from a ceiling, two chains of
equal length and gauge are
required and should be used
with xings that are
adequate to hold the weight
of the heater. If in doubt
contact a professional for
advice!
2. Aach the heater assembly
to the chains via the hole in
the centre of the middle
bracket (remove the
L -shaped wall brackets) as
shown in Fig. E. and ensure
the heater faces directly
down when hanging.
3. Arrange the mains supply
cord so it cannot be tripped
over or damaged and ensure
it is not resng on the heater
body or mounng brackets.
Also ensure it is away from
the front of the heater.

Disconnect the heater from the mains electric power supply
before any aempts are made to replace the ceramic
emier. Contact your distributor for the correct replacement

rang label.
It is important that you read through the ceramic emier
replacement procedure before commencing.

3. Slide the front trim piece out of the body nong
which channel it is contained within (for reng).
See Fig. G.
4. Slide the guard out of the body nong it is contained
within the same channel as the front trim piece.
See Fig. H.
5. If mulple ceramic emiers have to be replaced,
connue to slide the front trim pieces and guards
out of the body unl all ceramic emiers are
accessible nong the order in which the trims and
guards go. See Fig. J.
6. Locate the 2 × Phillips screws either side of the
ceramic emier and remove (ideally with a
magnec pped screwdriver which will also aid
reng) and take care to retain the spring/split
washers. See Fig. K.
7. Pull the reector holding the ceramic emier down
to expose the wiring (Fig. L). The ceramic emier
can be disconnected by rst pulling the sleeving
back to reveal the in-line connectors as shown in
Fig. M.

8. Carefully pull the in-line connectors apart to remove
the ceramic emier as shown in Fig. N. Note, when
reng, the connectors must be fully pushed
together and you should feel a dull click and the
sleeving should also be replaced back over the
connectors. Also take note of the emier wire
colours and match.
9. Working on a at surface, slide the ceramic emier
holding U-clip away from the ceramic emier raised
wiring boss as shown in Fig. P. Note. the sleeving
can be removed at this point before proceeding.
Remove the spring clip (note it’s orientaon as
shown in Fig Q) from the reector and li the
reector o the ceramic emier as shown in Fig. R.
10. Ret in reverse order and repeat for any other
ceramic emiers that need to be replaced.
5.2 Heater failure
In the event of heater failure, or for spare parts or
advice, please contact the manufacturer or your service
agent.
• Disconnect from the mains by removing the plug
from the main sockets before commencing any
maintenance procedure including cleaning.
• To ensure opmum heat eecveness, it is recom-
mended that that the guards are removed and the
reectors are wiped with a lint-free cloth should
the reectors show considerable signs of dust or
dirt.
