1 Introduction
1.1 Product description
The product is a duct heater with an insulated PTC heating element and plastic housing.
The product is designed for installation in a ventilation system to heat up the air to a desired target temperature. The
product is controlled linearly via an analog signal 0–10 V or with Pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal.
The supply air must be clean and free of contaminants that could block or clog the built-in heating element. Use a filter
in front of the product. The product have to operate in an environment free of particles and dust.
The product has an in-built temperature limiter that prevents the overheat of the heating element.
The product has an error signal relay that is located on the control board. The error signal relay can be connected to the
ventilation system to indicate an error.
1.2 Intended Use
The product is used to heat the outdoor or supply air in the air duct.
The product is intended to be controlled via ventilation system.
A constant airflow of at least 40 m³/h must be ensured during the operation of the product.

4| Electrical connection
• Make sure that all cable glands are tight against the cables to prevent leaks.
4.2 To install the product
• The product can be installed horizontally or vertically in the air duct.
Warning
The product installation with electronic housing pointing downwards is not allowed. Possible condensate
in the ventilation system can otherwise penetrate the housing and cause damage to the electronics.

Warning
Do not insulate the electric housing. Internal components heat
up during the operation and heat must be allowed to emitted
across the surface of the electric housing.
Caution
The housing of the product can heat up to 100 °C in case of
failure. Use insulation which can withstand such temperature.
