Part Number Coding
The VES HEATLINE Duct Mounted Heater Battery brings wider versatility to existing and new
ventilation installations. Intelligent control options for BMS or LCD room units, plus a
Thyristor (EHB option) /Valve actuator (LPHW option) heater make this the ideal solution to
accurately heat individual rooms. HEATLINE is also both simple to install and maintain.
Duct sizes form a slow as 100 Square/Round on EHB, 200 Square/Round on LPHW. Operating
temperature -20 to 70 ºC.

ensure that access panels are not obstructed in any way and safe working access for
maintenance must be provided in accordance with the Health and Safety, and Building
Regulations. For confirmation of required access please see the appropriate unit outline
drawing.
Consideration must also be given by the installer for adequate illumination of the unit
location in order for safe maintenance. Further consideration should be given to the unit’s
position and secured into place as appropriate. This is especially important with external
mounting as the wind and elements may effect overall stability.

When moving the unit, handle with care and in such a manner
as to avoid damaging the external finish as this may reduce
the ability to reduce corrosion. Units are to be rigged and
lifted using spreaders, taking into account the weight of the
unit, and lifting gear should be arranged so as not to bear on

Duct Installation 6
For sensitive installations, VES can offer a 4 to 20 mA control option.
Important
Fan run on sequence determined by BMS.
Warning
To ensure safety and compliance, please refer to O&M manual for wiring, fan run-on, and
installation instructions.
Warning
6.1 Airflow
Caution The heater can be used for horizontal or vertical airflow. The air should be evenly
distributed across the duct and the minimum air volume as stated on the air heater name
plate must be maintained.
6.2 Thermal
Cutout (Auto)
(EHB option only)
Every heater is provided with a thermal cutout which will break contacts when the duct
temperature rises above 70 °C. This cutout is provided to comply with M & E specifications
and will require removal of the terminal cover to reset.
Supply must be isolated before removing cover.
Warning
N.B. It is very important that all electrical connections are properly made. Elements are
tested prior to dispatch and are within tolerance of ±7½ W of total load. If the elements are
found to be faulty they can be easily removed and replaced. Elements stored in damp
conditions may need drying to attain correct insulation readings - contact VES Andover Ltd. if
in doubt.
6.3 Testing
(EHB option only)
Continued
Supply to Heatline should be 1ph or 3ph and a neutral - refer to name plate for
correct supply.
The heater is fitted with a manual reset high temperature cutout which has NC
(normally closed) terminals and an air flow pressure switch. This is connected in
series with the main contactor coil circuit, to remove power from the heater in the
event of over-temperature or airflow failure. Under no circumstances is this circuit to
be by passed.
Ensure sufficient earth connection to terminal is provided.
The speed controller must not switch off fan independent of control system or
allow airflow to fall below stated volume on the electric heater battery.
Fan run on timer required. Turn off 0-10 V heat demand signal 2 minutes before fan
enable signal.
Separate cables should be installed for 0-10 VDC, Control signal and 24 VAC switched
enable signal in compliance BS7671/2008.

external piping is to be supported independently from the coil. Fluid filters are
recommended.
It is important that water and steam coils are protected against damage from extreme
weather conditions during the winter season. If the water is allowed to freeze in the coil
system, damage may occur potentially bursting pipes and resulting in emergency problems.
Fitting a frost thermostat at the unit inlet and ensuring that boilers run continuously in low
ambient temperatures can help to prevent this.
Heating coils do not cool immediately when the hot water supply is turned off. The residual
heat must be dissipated to avoid damage. The continuous running of the fan after
shutdown resolves this, by operation of a run-on timer; the recommended length of run-on
is 2 minutes minimum.
On HeatLine units, a Low Pressure Hot Water (LPHW) coil will be installed. Coils are normally
suitable for LPHW at 82 °C flow and 71 °C return temperature. LPHW coils are supplied as

the coil connection. The air vent should be at the highest point, with the drain at the
lowest. The coil should be regularly vented so as to avoid potential air locks, resulting in a
fall off of duty.
It is recommended that a check be made as to whether any treatment is required to the
water supply for prevention of corrosion and scaling of the equipment. Information
regarding the necessary action to be taken can be obtained from the relevant Local Water
Supply Authority.
The unit will have been supplied with connections either left or right-hand side looking in
direction of airflow. Please see order acknowledgment for confirmation of this handing.

LPHW units feature a coil connection cover. To access during installation carefully remove
the cover by unfastening the fixings around the cover. Holes have been provided in the
housing base for pipe work entry. Please follow the appropriate manufacturer’s instruction
carefully when fitting a valve actuator. Ensure that the cover and fixings are replaced upon
completion.
