4. Installation Instructions
4.1. Number required
The number of heaters required depends on the size and nature of the room, the required temperature
and the relevant climate zone.
4.2. Installation Instructions
CAUTION
The following points must be observed!
Mounting
The heater must be properly secured using the suspensions eyes or (if it is being fixed down) using
the tunnel brackets on its bottom. Secure the heater using chain or steel cable at least 4 mm in
diameter.
The heater must be as close to the horizontal as possible, and certainly not inclined at an angle of
more than fifteen degrees.
The heater must not be connected to a duct system and no inflammable objects should be placed
within three metres of its outlet.
Oil connection
The oil used as fuel must be purified. (see page 10)
Check the fuel supply lines regularly for leaks and loose fittings.
The oil tank must meet the relevant environmental standards and must be contained within a spillage
sump. The capacity of the sump must be at least the same as the capacity of the tank. The sump
must be protected from the rain.
The bush in the spillage sump through which the primary fuel hose passes must be watertight and oil-
tight by hose clips.
The main fuel pipe must be sturdy and made of stainless material.
The diameter of this pipe must be at least 3/4" (20 mm).
The oil tank and each of the oil boxes must be fitted with a manual oil valve.
The fuel hose must be secured to the heater and to the oil tank with suitable hose clips.
Oil hoses should not be left on the ground, lead them along a steel construction or wall without sharp
bends.
Electrical
Make sure to use a well earthed socket.
Never take off the power when the heater is still working, always let it cool down.
Safety
Never remove the grille or service hatch when the heater is or might start running.
Never use the heater when parts are removed
Keep a free space around the heater, see next page
To avoid oxygen depletion, the room in which the appliances are installed must have enough
ventilation
-
either by a mechanical extractor device or ventilation system that extracts at least 10 m
3
of air per
hour for every 1 kW of installed output,
-
or it must have adequate natural ventilation;
If the room has two openings, a ventilation factor of 1.0 (i.e. one change of room air per hour) can be
achieved naturally providing these openings have a free opening area of at least 60 x B cm
2
where B
is the installed output in kW.
The overall output of the installed appliances must not exceed 1 kW per 20 m
3
of room volume if
natural ventilation is used.
Always replace defect or faulty parts with original ones or with the same specifications.
