  • Note that the room temperature should be at least 17 °C and keep the  f l oor areas and heaters clean in order to avoid any fogging e ect.

3.4 Minimum distances
  • Make sure you do not fall below the minimum distance (C) between the  rear wall and ceiling/wall predetermined by the fi xing brackets (V brackets). 
  • Ensure that continuous air circulation is possible between the rear wall  and the ceiling/wall. 
  • Keep a minimum distance of 60 cm in all directions in areas of IP classes 65/67.


3.5 Positioning of the    receiverThe positioning of the receiver may only be done on the edge of the heater or by mounting it on the room ceiling.

  • Remove the protective fi lm from the adhesive tape on the back of the wireless receiver. 
  • Attach the wireless receiver to the back of the infrared heater in one of the four shown positions. 
  • Ensure that the side with the control element is facing outward so that you can operate the wireless receiver after the heater is mounted. 
  • Make sure to maintain a minimum distance of 2.5 cm from the V-brackets to allow for their rotation during heater installation.

3.6 Installing the heater
Recommended tool
A Cordless screwdriver or electric drill 
B Cutter knife or Stanley knife 
C Pencil or ballpoint pen 
D Hammer 
E Spanner with 8 mm WAF (open-end or ring) 
F Spanner with 10 mm WAF (open-end or ring) 
G 8 mm drill suitable for the material of your wall / ceiling
Assembly template
  • Use the accompanying assembly template to determine the position  of the drilling holes for product installation to the wall / ceiling. Always pay attention to the requirements for the installation site and  the necessary minimum distances (see Point 3.4). 
  • We recommend using a spirit level when mounting onto a wall to ensure a vertical mounting position.
Assembly
1. First drill the required holes at the previously marked positions using an 8 mm drill suitable for the material of your wall or ceiling.

  • Drill 4 holes for heaters up to max. 120 cm in length.
  • Drill 6 holes for heaters from 150 cm in length. 

The accompanying drilling template will also specify the number of holes. Please ensure correct positioning of the drilling holes for optimum mounting of the wall bracket (V-brackets) to be screwed on later.  
Use (if suitable for the material of your wall / ceiling) the supplied dowels, lag bolts and washers from the “Standard fi xing set” supplied with the heater as shown on the left. 

2. Insert the dowels into the holes (drive in with a hammer if necessary) and screw in the screws with washers using a 10 mm spanner. Do not  completely tighten the screws. Make sure there is 4 mm of space be tween the washer and the wall / ceiling.

3. Check whether all wall brackets (V brackets) of your heater point   in the same direction with the opening. If not, align the V-brackets uniformly in one direction. It doesn’t matter which direction it is. 


In case of ceiling assembly, make sure the next assembly step is undertaken by two people. Have a ladder at hand (if required).

4. Lift the heater to the mounting position so that the openings of the V-brackets are situated directly in front of  the screws that are already in place.



5. Slide the heater sideways until the screws are fully engaged  into the V-brackets. Pay attention to the washers. 

6. Lock the heater in place by rotating the V-brackets 180º:

Wall mounting:  
Turn any “V-bracket” 		Ceiling mounting:
Turn any two “V-brackets”

7. Tighten all 8 or 12 screws using both 8 and 10 mm spanners. Check the secure fi tting of the heater.
