1. Operation instructions

for the user and the professional

Use of electrical equipment in principle re­
quires care to exclude any potential risks from
fire, electrical shock or injury. Therefore the
unit should only be used as described in these
instructions, where any use outside the manu­
facturer‘s recommendations can lead to dam­
age or injury.
The correct match between the heat require­
ment of the room and the heating power of
the unit must be observed.
Before use of the unit, read the entire instruc­
tions and follow the information given on
proper handling of the unit.

These instructions should be kept
carefully and handed to any subse-

quent user of the unit. Please show them to
the engineer performing any repair work.

1.1 Description

The CNS is an electric direct heater exclusive­
ly for wall installation. It is suitable e.g. for heat­
ing a bathroom or as transitional or additional
heating for small rooms such as hobby rooms
or guest rooms.

Series CNS-S
After wall mounting and electrical connection
via a plug and socket, the unit is ready for use.

Series CNS-U
After wall mounting and electrical connection
via a fixed connection through a junction box
(note national regulations), the unit is ready
for use.

Function

The air in the convector is heated by heating
element and emerges by natural convection
at the top through the air outlet grille (4). The
openings in the underside of the unit provide
cooling room air

Safety device

The convector has a protective thermostat
(STR) which switches the appliance off on
overheating. After eliminating the cause (e.g.
covered air outlet or inlet opening), after a
cooling down period of a few minutes the unit
resumes operation.

1.2 Operation

The convector is switched on and off via the
switch (1) on the right­hand side. The desired
room temperature is set via the temperature
selector (2) anywhere between around +6°C
and +30 °C. As soon as the set room tem­
perature has been reached, it is maintained
constantly by intermittent heating (the heating
power of the unit must correspond at least to
the heat requirements of the room).
If several heaters are fitted in a room, the
temperature setting on each unit may vary.
To avoid excessive energy consumption
with the windows open, the unit should be
switched off during ventilation at the switch (1).

Frost protection
If the unit is used as a frost guard, set the tem­
perature selector (2) to the far right stop (*).
In this position the thermostat switches the
heating on automatically if the room tempera­
ture falls to around +6°C.

Limiting the thermostat
Using the two pins on the back of the switch
housing (3), the thermostat can be fixed in a
particular setting.

To fix a desired temperature, push pin

a

into

the hole opposite.
To limit the temperature adjustment range,
set the minimum and maximum values on the
selector knob and mark these by inserting pin

b

into the opposite, slightly offset hole each

time.

1.2.1 External room thermostat

If necessary the unit can be operated with a
commercial external room thermostat. The
temperature selector (2) must be turned to
the right stop (MAX). The room thermostat
should be located as far as possible from the
unit and at least 1.5 m high.

1.2.2 Shutting Down

To shut down the unit, move the switch to the
OFF position and remove the mains plug from
the wall socket (do not pull out the plug using
the lead).

1.3 Safety notes

The unit should not be operated

– in rooms at risk of explosion or fire from

chemicals, dust, gas or vapour,

– in the immediate vicinity of pipes or con-

tainers which transport or contain flam-
mable or explosive substances,

– if the minimum distances from adjacent

object surfaces are not observed.

• Installation (electrical installation), first op­

eration and maintenance of this unit may
only be performed by an accredited expert
according to these instructions.

• The unit must not be operated if in the

same room work is performed such as floor
laying, grinding, sealing, cleaning with petrol
and care (spray, beeswax) and similar.

• The housing surfaces of the unit and the

emerging air are hot during operation (over
80 °C). Risk of burns!

Keep small children away from the

unit.

• Do not place objects on the unit, lean ob­

jects against it or store anything between the
heater and the wall (e.g. drying washing).

Also do not place in the immediate vicinity

of the unit any flammable, combustible or
heat­insulating objects or substances such
as laundry, blankets, newspapers, containers
of beeswax or petrol, spray cans or similar.
Risk of explosion!

To prevent overheating of the unit, it
must not be covered.

A For objects of all types e.g. furniture,

curtains, hangings or textiles or other flam­
mable or non­flammable materials, the fol­
lowing minimum distances from the unit
must be observed:

To the air outlet grille ⇒

500 mm

To the sides

100 mm

To the top

150 mm

To the underside

100 mm

To the back wall

6 mm

Hot air must be able to escape unobstructed.
• The unit may not be used as a freestanding

unit.

• Do not stand on the unit.
• No changes may be made to the unit.
• The unit should never be left in operation

accidentally.

• Special care is required if the unit is used in
