5. Installation

The electrical applaince may only

be operated from earth leakage pro-

tected sockets! Before operating

the apparatus, ensure that this is

the case for the socket to be used.

Make sure that the maximum current

is not exceeded when the outlet has

more than one socket or when using

extension chords. cable reels must

always be fully unwound. Ensure that

the air circulation heater is discon-

nected from mains before or during

installation. Select a place for instal-

lation where the apparatus will not be

exposed to rain or may fall into water.

Route the connecting cable such that

it will not be a stumbling hazard, can-

not be crushed or come into contact

with hot objects. Use only extension

leads matched to the power rating of

the apparatus and complying with the

applicable safety regulations. Do not

wind the connecting lead around the

apparatus and never operate the ap-

paratus with a coiled lead.

Standing installation:

To use the PHX 2.8/US greenhouse

heater as a ﬂoor mounted apparatus,

the supplied feet must ﬁrst be ﬁtted.

The following supplied components

are required for assembly:

2 x PHOENIX feet

4 x self tapping screws

4 x serrated washers

Have a Phillips screwdriver at hand.

The PHOENIX heater comes with

pre-drilled holes in the housing for

attaching the feet. Fasten the feet

here, using the self tapping screws

with serrated washers (see illustra-

tion on Page 2). Your PHOENIX air

circulation heater is now ready to

use as a ﬂoor-mounted apparatus.

Hanging installation:

To use the PHOENIX 2.8 air circula-

tion heater as a hanging apparatus,

the supplied chains must ﬁrst

be ﬁtted. The following supplied com-

ponents are required for assembly:

2 x PHOENIX hanging chains

2 x T-head Bolt and Ring Nut

The PHOENIX heater comes with

metal lugs on the housing to hook the

chains, using the snap hooks. The

other two snap hooks then hook into

the V-hooks. These V-hooks are then

fastened to the proﬁles in your green-

house (see illustration on Page 2).

Your PHOENIX greenhouse heater is

now ready to use as a hanging heater.

6. Operation

Connect the heating apparatus to any

240 V ~ 60 Hz AC socket. The PHOE-

NIX air circulation heater has two

selector switches and a thermostat.

Using the selector switches, you may

select one of the 8 possible operating

modes. Set the desired greenhouse

temperature on the thermostat. An in-

tegral lamp signals heating operation.

Thermostat:

The thermostat is linear and inﬁnite-

ly variable from 32-37°F. The printed

ﬁgures from 0-10 on the adjustment

wheel are for general orientation to

the temperature range being selected.

This means that the increasing num-

bers each mean a rise in temperature

of approx. 37 °C (see example below).

Example.: Number Temperature range

0 - 1 ≈ 32 - 37 °F 0 - 2.6 °C

1 - 2 ≈ 37 - 42 °F 2.6 - 5.2 °C

2 - 3 ≈ 42 - 46 °F 5.2 - 7.8 °C

3 - 4 ≈ 46 - 51 °F 7.8 - 10.4 °C

etc.

Refer to page 9 in the section ‘winter

operation’ to ﬁnd out how to set the

temperature exactly.

Selector switch:

Step 1: Select the desired operating

mode on selector switches 1 and 2.

Depending on the size and location

of the greenhouse we recommend

selecting a heating performance of

2800 watts or 1800 watts in the winter

months. On the other hand, the low-

er performance of 1000 watts is often

sucient in the transition periods

(autumn and spring).

1800 watts: Ideal frost protection up

to a greenhouse size of approximately

136 sq.ft. (12 m²). 2800 watts: Ideal

frost protection up to a greenhouse

size of approximately 216 sq.ft. (20 m²).

Note: If you have sensitive plants in

your greenhouse over the winter (e.g.

cacti) that cannot tolerate ﬂuctuating

temperatures then we recommend

heating in operating modes 3b, 4b or

5b. These operating modes give you

continual air circulation and do not

produce large temperature gradients

between upper and lower layers of air.

The same is also true for greenhouses

with very high humidity. The continual

circulation of air prevents the occur-

rence of mould and fungi.

If you have robust plants and mere-

ly wish to prevent frost you can use

operating modes 3a, 4a or 5a. Please

consult a gardener if you have ques-

tions in this regard.

Step 2: Select the desired temperature

range on the thermostat adjustment

wheel. Refer to the example on page

8 to see which position on the ther-

mostat corresponds to the desired

temperature and then set it accord-

ingly. Now leave the heating to oper-

ate for several hours and monitor the

room temperature with the help of a

thermometer (MIN-MAX thermometer

recommended). Then correct the set-

ting slightly upwards or downwards if

necessary if the desired temperature

is not maintained. This setting pro-

cess only needs to be carried out

once during initial operation. The

heating system will keep the tempera-

ture constant once the correct setting

has been discovered.

Note: It is unfortunately not possible

to print the temperature scale on the

adjustment wheel of the thermometer

as it reacts dierently depending on

size, insulation, stocking and location

of each greenhouse.

Recommendation:

If you would like to keep valuable

plants in your greenhouse over the

winter then we recommend installing

a second heat source that is activated

if this heating fails (e.g. during a pow-

er cut). This protects your plants from

freezing.

Summer operation:

In the summer months you can use

the air circulation mode to achieve

substantial cooling of the greenhouse

temperature. Select operating mode

2b for this purpose and open the door

or roof windows in your greenhouse.

The position of the thermostat adjust-

ment wheel is irrelevant in this case.

The greenhouse air that is heated by

the sun is continually circulated in

circulation mode and is transported

outside. This measure also regulates

humidity in the greenhouse and pro-

motes pollination of your plants.

Note: Never use operating mode 2a

for summer operation. As the air cir-

culation is regulated by the thermo-

stat in this mode it would switch o

the fan after a short period of strong

sun exposure. This would mean that

the air circulation and the associated

cooling would no longer be assured.
