1. Drill six holes in the ceiling to match 6 (3 per
side) of the 14 holes available in diagram.
Note: The installation clearances given must be
kept outside the broken lines shown. The lines
represent the outer edges of the fascia panel.
2. Plug the drilled holes according to the ceiling

To mount the heater appliance via suspension
rods or chains
A ceiling tile spacer is available as an accessory.
This kit allows the fascia to protrude 85 mm
beneath the nished ceiling tile, matching the
prole of the Skyline®CT18 hydronic model.
A Surface mounting kit is also available which
provides a complete four sided trim when tted to
a solid ceiling.
1. If the mounting area is to align with a false or
suspended ceiling panel, then the holes must
be centred to the panel.
2. Cut the suspension chains or rods to the
required length for the installation. Secure to
the mounting surface.
3. Secure the lower ends of the chains or rods
to the top four corners of the heater appliance.
Adjust the lengths of the chains or rods as
necessary to ensure the heater appliance is true
and level.
4. Refer to the section under Electrical
Connections.
5. Replace and secure the panel marked

This heater appliance may
be mounted in the
following methods Unit Operation
Please note: This heater will NOT function without
the wall mounted wireless controller (supplied) .
The controller can control an unlimited number
of heaters.
Wireless Controller
The controller is primarily designed to minimise
energy wastage and ensure the room is
maintained at the comfort level set by the user.
In the basic setting, the controller is a simple
room thermostat in which the heater will run
until the set temperature is reached. If the room
temperatures falls the heater will switch on again
until the set temperature is reached. The operating
range is between 15°C and 35°C.
The controller also has a number of advanced
features that, if required MUST be set during
the installation process. Please discuss with your
customer which features they require.
• Temperature control for Comfort (COMF)
This can be set to limit the maximum
temperature set by the user.
• Temperature control for Setback (SETB)
This can be used for frost protection or
situations where a minimum room temperature
must be maintained. The setback temperature
can be set between 0°C and 15°C.
• Run-back Timer
This can be used to limit the run time of the
heater from between 5 minutes and 2 hours.
The Run-back Timer cannot used be used in
conjunction with Temperature control for
Setback (SETB)
Choosing a position in a room
The SLVT B controller should be xed to the
wall. Avoid areas with draft or direct sun. Do
not position the controller above or close to the
heaters or other heat sources. Damp areas or
areas where SLVT B can be mechanically damaged
should also be avoided. Avoid installing the
controller in areas where there are metal objects
between the heater and the controller. This
will reduce the RF range. The RF range in ideal
conditions can be up to 20m however this can
be reduced when the signal is passing through
the walls or other objects. The range can be also
affected where the controller is mounted close
6. Replace the fascia and ensure it is secured with
all the original screws.
