load current is less than 13A.  In both cases, the switch must be double pole (disconnecting both live and neutral conductors) and form part 

of the fixed wiring in the installation in accordance with applicable wiring regulations.   The spur fuse should also be rated in accordance with 

the appropriate table.  In either case the switch used to operate the Herschel Aspect XL must be indoors and readily accessible.
The cable used to connect to the existing wiring should be correctly rated solid core wiring cable. Please note that the use of flexible appliance 

cable with stranded conductors for permanent wiring (except for the final connection between a cable outlet and the fixed equipment) is 

prohibited by IEE wiring regulations. Where applicable, these regulations preclude the use of a 13A plug and socket for powering the Herschel 

Aspect XL. For the final connection to the Herschel Aspect XL, only the flexible cable and cable entry supplied with the unit must be used. The 

cable must connect to the supply in a suitable enclosure or cable outlet designed for that purpose. The cable outlet current carrying capacity 

must be greater than the recommended fuse current rating given in Table 1 or Table 2.

If the flexible cable is taken through a wall for connection purposes, suitable conduit or mechanical protection must be used through the wall 

to protect the cable from mechanical damage within the wall. The mounting position of the unit must ensure that any mechanical damage 

to the flexible cable is unlikely. If physical damage to the cable is possible, suitable conduit protection must be provided. Fixed wiring must 

be protected.

MOUNTING POSITION: 

The Herschel Aspect XL must be located in a position to allow for proper and efficient use but one that ensures hot parts are not touched 

accidentally. The recommended height for the mounting is 2.3m to 2.5m (90”-98”) from ground level, The Herschel Aspect XL should be firmly 

and permanently attached to the wall using the bracket supplied, with the heaters angled down at 60 degrees from vertical (see diagram 

1).  The bracket allows the heater to be mounted between 50° and 70° from vertical and should not be mounted outside these parameters. 

The Herschel Aspect XL is designed to be mounted horizontally on a wall. DO NOT MOUNT VERTICALLY,  The heater is not designed for ceiling 

mounting.
