General Installation Instructions  

With the power supply cable connected please complete these remaining instructions before 
energising. 

  Place the heater on its feet in the desired operational location and make further minor 

adjustments to each foot as required in order to prevent the heater from rocking.  
Failure to do so could cause damage to the heater.  

  Ensure the distance between the Isolator and the ground is at least 40mm at all 

times.  

  The installer and the end user shall ensure that the unit has free and unrestricted air 

flow to allow natural convection to occur at all times. DO NOT COVER the heater and 
do not allow anything to rest on or against it when in operation.  

 

Terminate / connect the power supply end of the power cable to 

the isolated power supply or a certified plug as required. 
 
Warnings 

  No additional cable entries are to be made within the terminal box. Only EXHEAT 

Industrial Ltd. can facilitate this. 

  No alterations are permitted to the factory installed wiring. 

  The cable  glands installed to the MFH  heater should be such that they do not 

decrease the IIB + H2 rating of the heater.  All cable glands are to be suitable for the 
rating and size of the supply cables.  IP washers are to be used where applicable. 

  Before connection ensure that the supply corresponds with that specified on the 

nameplate label, and that the sizes and types of cables to be used are suitably rated 
for the load and temperature of the product. 

  Each heater circuit must be protected by a suitably rated over current device and 

earth leakage circuit breaker device.  See below for earth connection details. 

  The covers of the MFH range terminal boxes are removed by simply un-bolting the lid 

fittings.  When re-fitting ensure that any gasket seal is in good condition and correctly 
located.  The main cover mating faces 

MUST

 be kept clean and free from any debris 

at all times. 

  The installer or end  user must connect to the EXHEAT Industrial Ltd designated 

terminals within the terminal box - DO NOT disturb factory fitted wiring.
