Electrical Installation

WARNING:

This Heater MUST

be permanently installed and hard

wired by an authorized / licensed

electrical professional. Do not

perform maintenance or carry out

installation or assembly procedure

while electrical power is switched on.

CAUTION:

A circuit breaker is

required for proper installation. Do

not load beyond 80% capacity. The

type of circuit breaker must be C

curve type.

1. DIR15A10GR (1500W) is

designed for connection to the

120V~ 60Hz electric mains

equipped with a grounding wire.

2. DIR18A10GR (1800W),

DIR22A10GR (2200W) and

DIR30A10GR (30000W) heater

is designed for connection to

the 240V~ 60Hz electric mains

equipped with a grounding wire.

3. The heater must not be located

immediately below an electrical

connection. Power point should

not be located at the back of the

heater. The power point needs to

be located outside the physical

footprint of the heater to minimize

heat build-up behind the heater.

4. If the heater is to be mounted on

an incline (e.g. Vaulted ceiling),

ensure the electrical connection

point is below the heater.
