tion of the units, the units are to be stopped.
◊ During the operation of the units the applicable local
regulations are to be observed and the relevant
safety measures to be taken.
◊ Make sure that the prescribed safety distances from
combustible objects are observed.
◊ A free air suction and air discharge must be en-
sured.
◊ The blow off opening of the unit may not be nar-
rowed or equipped with hoses or conduits.
◊ Never place foreign objects into the unit.
◊ Do not cover the units during operation.
◊ The units may not be operated near bath tubs,
showers, swimming pools, etc.
◊ The units may not be operated directly beneath a
wall socket.
◊ The units may not be exposed to direct water jets.
◊ Make sure that no water penetrates inside the units.
◊ The units may not be operated in rooms which are
endangered by explosions.
◊ Protect all electric cables outside the units from
damage (e.g. caused by animals).
Starting
A well trained person is to be charged with the opera-
tion and control of the units.
1. Check the main voltage is in accordance with the
unit voltage.
230V / 1~, N, PE / 50 Hz.
Description of the Unit
The units are operating with electric energy and are
suitable for a fully automatic, all-purpose and simple ap-
plication.
The units are equipped with a capsuled electrical heat-
ing element, room thermostat, noiseless maintenance-
free axial fans, safety and after-cooling thermostat and
connecting cable with plug.
The units are in accordance with the basic safety and
health requirements of the relevant EC – regulation.
The units are handled simply and are safe in operation.
Application
◊ Drying of new buildings.
◊ Spot heating of working places outside or in fire-
proof halls and production places.
◊ Permanent or temporary heating of rooms.
◊ Defrosting of machines vehicles and fire-proof stor-
ing goods with keeping the prescribed distance of
safety.
2. Put operating switch into position "0".
3. Insert the power plug into a correctly
fused mains socket.
Fuse protection 16 A (inert).
Working of the unit
The units are equipped with a 2-stage operating switch.
In the first stage the heating element are activated and
hot air is discharged.
The units are operated with a room thermostat to en-
sure a constant room temperature. When the pre-
selected temperature has been reached, the thermostat
stops the heating operation to restart it when the tem-
perature has fallen below the set value.
When the units have been switched off by the operating
switch or the room thermostat, the supply air fan contin-
ues running for a certain time to cool down the heat ex-
changer, and then it stops automatically.
If the temperature at the blower aperture rises above
80° C the heating operation is stopped and will restart
after the cooling-down period automatically.
In the 2nd stage only the supply air fan is operated and
the units can be used for air circulation.
Connecting cable extensions may be laid exclu-
sively by authorised electricians based on the
unit capacity, cable length and taking the local
terms of use into account.
The electric connection of the units is to be carried
out via a special supply point with fault current
safety switch.
For optimum unit operation, the device should not
be operated at an ambient temperature above 25 °C.
