1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any
other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate
safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. If in any doubt consult a
qualified electrician.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
 The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances and the
safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
 Ensure that the insulation of all the cables on the appliance is undamaged and safe, before connecting it to the power supply.
 Ensure that the cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
 Regularly inspect the power supply cables and plugs etc. for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that none are loose.
 Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used and that a correctly rated fuse is fitted.
 DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
 DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
 Installation should always be carried out by a qualified electrician or a competent person in accordance with current electrical regulation
 The unit should be protected by a suitably rated isolator and fuse or type 3 (also known as type C) mcb. An inrush current (initial current
through the filament) can be expected at switch on. This current can be as high as 12 times the normal operating current, lasting around 20
milliseconds. This effect can also vary depending on temperature. In extreme cases, a type D breaker may be required.
 This heater is IP55 rated and is intended for outdoor use. To maintain the protection rating all connections to the mains must be done with a
minimum of IP55 equipment.
 The mains lead is made from high temperature cable, not a standard PVC cable and as such should not be replaced without consulting a
suitable qualified electrician.
 Ensure that the mounting bracket is adequately earthed.
 Use of an extension cord is not recommended.

consulting a suitable qualified electrician.

5. MAINTENANCE
Note: Before examining or carrying out any maintenance ensure the heater has cooled down and is disconnected from the mains
supply.

5.1 The heater contains 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 emitters as this can cause overheating and premature emitter failure.
To clean the appliance, turn off and disconnect from mains supply. Allow to cool, then wipe with a damp cloth.

6. LAMP REPLACEMENT

Note: Before examining or carrying out any maintenance ensure the heater has cooled down and is disconnected from the mains
supply.

The lamp used in the fitting is robust and if knocks and shock vibrations are avoided, will last for around 5000 hours.

6.1 TO REPLACE EITHER OF THE LAMPS

a) Disconnect the heater from the power supply by unplugging from the mains socket and wait until the body has cooled
down.
b) Remove the end cap nearest the lamp you need to replace by undoing the 2 socket head screws at the end.
c) Remove the guard and end reflectors from the replacement lamp end.
d) Remove the centre cover making sure you don’t drop the guard from the other end.
e) Unclip the lamp from the spring clips at each end, allowing the lamp to move forward clear of the back reflector.
f) Unclip the reflector from the heater casing.
g) Disconnect the lamp wires from the terminals located in the electrical box on the rear of the heater, and then remove the
faulty lamp.
h) Insert the wires of the new lamp through the holes in the heater body to the electrical box and reconnect them into the
terminals. Ensure that the terminals are tightened correctly to make a good electrical connection.
i) Re-assemble in the opposite order making sure all the parts are replaced and the guards are in position.
