Victory Heatlight HLQ Series User manual

Quartz Infrared Zone Heaters
The following information should be considered when installing Quartz Infrared
Heaters.
Installation should always be carried out by a qualified electrician or a competent person
in accordance with current electrical regulations, protected by a suitably rated isolator
and fuse. If using MCB’s type3 or typeC must be used.
The heaters should always be installed using the mounting brackets provided to
ensure adequate clearance from the wall.
A minimum air gap of 450mm should always be allowed between the top of the
heater and the ceiling or roof.
A safety distance of 1mtr should always be left in front of a 1.5KW heater. Heaters
of 3KW and 4.5KW should have a safety distance of at least 1.5mts and the 6KW
heater leave 2mts.
You also should ensure no flammable material could come into contact with the
heater.
Heaters should not be installed in areas where hazardous vapours may be present
as defined in BS5345
It is recommended the heaters be operated with a guard in front of the lamp and
should always be fitted to units mounted below 2.2mtrs.
The heater should only be installed in an indoor or weather protected environment.
The essential element of the heater is a halogen filled quartz linear lamp with a tungsten
element. This operates at about 2200C and has a filter to stop most of the white light
and emit short wave infrared radiant heat. The lamp operates at full infrared output
almost instantly and emits radiant energy at 1.2microns.
Quartz heaters are recommended by The Electricity council and Building Services
Research Association for General space heating, Zone heating and localised spot
heating.
This product conforms to EU Directive 2002/96/EC.

INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY READ BEFORE
INSTALLATION AND RETAINED BY THE USER.

Before installing this heater, please read all the enclosed instructions carefully
and follow any recommendations regarding installation and use.
Electrical installation
The HLQ range comprises 1, 2 and 3 lamp Heater Models.
One and two-lamp heater models are factory fitted with high temperature silicon rubber
flexible cable conforming to BS 6500 having a temperature rating of 180°C continuous.
In the three-lamp heater use high temperature silicon rubber flexible cable conforming
to BS 6500 having a temperature rating of 180°C continuous.
Appliances must be earthed.
It is advised that Type 3 (Type C) MCBs are used. In multi-lamp single phase
installations, in order to prevent the initial inrush current causing nuisance tripping,
MCBs over rated by 60 - 70% may be required.
The HLQ fitting has been packed with a separate wall mounting bracket and lamp(s)
ready for attachment and fitting to the heater. Please leave the lamp(s) in transit packing
until ready to fit.

Switch on heater(s) and confirm that lamp(s) operating.
Ensure each heater aims its warmth into the target area by adjusting heater angle(s)
as necessary then tighten bracket bolts when satisfactory coverage is achieved.
Check that lamp(s) remain in a horizontal plane for all angles of heater(s).
Lamps must only be operated within 5° of the horizontal plane.
The user/customer should be made aware of all aspects of operation and safety and
strongly advised to retain these instructions for reference.
In unoccupied premises it is recommended that the heating system is switched off and
isolated from the electrical supply.
Maintenance
HeatLight Quartz Heaters contain no moving parts and therefore very little maintenance
is required other than to ensure that there is no excessive build-up of dust/dirt on the
reflectors or lamps as this can cause overheating and premature lamp failure.
Depending on siting conditions a heater should be regularly inspected, but at least once
per year.
Before any maintenance work is carried out
Allow heater case/lamp to cool to avoid injury.
Always isolate appliance(s) from electrical power supply.
Re-read instructions prior to lamp replacement.
