INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
- High temperature, risk of re, keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, and other
combustibles at least 36 in. (915 mm) from the front of the heater. To reduce the risk
of re, do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of the heater.
- Allow 2 in. (50.8 mm) minimum clearance between the back of the panel and the
ceiling structure.
- Allow 8 ft. (2.4 m) minimum clearance from the oor.
- 6 in. (152 mm) space between the panel and adjacent walls is recommended.
- Allow 36 in. (915 mm) minimum clearance between the heater and a device
sensitive to heat of 40 °C (104 °F) and higher.
- Use power supply wire suitable for at least 75 °C (167 °F).
- Canadian installations shall be made according to the provisions of Section 62 of
the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and to regulations of all authorities having
jurisdiction. United States installations are to be made in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes where applicable. When determining the number of
branch circuits required to accommodate the heating load, note the branch circuit must
be derated in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code or National Electrical Code as
applicable. The heater must be grounded to prevent the risk of electric shock.
- For proper heater performance, ensure the supply voltage matches the voltage printed
on the heater nameplate. DO NOT connect the heater to a higher voltage. Connection to
lower voltages is permitted but will cause the heater to operate at a reduced wattage.
- Ensure the electrical supply is de-energized before connection in an approved box using
approved wire connectors.
- Replace and screw the cover of the internal junction box before testing.
INSTALLATION
1- To avoid a risk of re caused by overheating of the wires, all wires connected to the
heating panels must be provided for a minimum temperature of 75 ˚C (167 °F).
2- Allow 2 in. (50.8 mm) minimum clearance above the panel.
3- It is recommended to use steel suspension cable 3/64 in. (1.8 mm) in diameter.
4- To access the internal junction box, remove the 2 screws holding the plate in place.
INSTALLATION OF THE RADIANT PANEL
SUSPENDED FROM A CEILING
1- Make sure the ceiling can support the heating panels.
2- A suspension cable (not included) must be attached to the 4 suspension clips and
attached to the ceiling structure.
3- The panels will be installed suspended from the ceiling. Figure 1.
4- Proceed to the electrical wiring according to Figure 3.
INSTALLATION OF THE RADIANT PANEL
INSERTED INTO A T-BAR SUSPENDED CEILING
1- Make sure the ceiling can support the heating panels.
2- Remove the acoustic tiles at the appropriate places in order to distribute the heat as
evenly as possible.
3- It may be necessary to remove a T bar if they are too close together.
4- Make sure the suspension cables of the T bars are secure and that they do not
interfere with the installation of the panels.
5- Remove the panel on the T bars and suspend the ceiling panel using suspension
cable. Figure 2. A suspension cable (not included) must be attached to each
of the 4 suspension clips and attached to the ceiling structure.
6- Proceed with the electrical wiring according to Figure 3.
INSTALLATION OF THE RADIANT PANEL
SURFACE OR RECESSED MOUNTED ON GYPSUM CEILING
