Safety notes Unit description

The electric infrared heaters can

either be portable or stationary.

The units

are operated with

electric power and have been

designed in such a way that

they can be used universally and

in a straightforward manner.

The units

are equipped with an

enclosed electric heating resistor,

robust pedestal, mounting bracket

and a power cable with protective

contact plug.

The units can not be regulated

thermostatically.

The units

conform to

the fundamental health and safety

requirements of the appropriate EU

stipulations. The units are reliable

and easy to operate.

The units may be used among

other things for the following:

■

Spot heating outdoor

workspaces and ﬁre-proof

manufacturing facilities and

halls

■

Temporary room heating

■

Maintaining the temperature

of frost-sensitive parts

■

De-icing machines, vehicles and

non-combustible warehoused

goods while adhering to

the relevant safety distances

The units have been built in

accordance with state-of-the-art

standards at the time of shipping.

The units have been subjected

to extensive material, functional

and quality inspections prior

to delivery.

However, dangers can arise

from the units if they are used

improperly or not as intended

by untrained personnel!

Please observe the following notes:

■

Adhere to the respective

applicable local regulations

(including the regulations

of the local power supply

company) and the relevant

legal safety regulations

whenusing the units

■

The personnel tasked with

operating the units must check

the units for visible defects

on the operating and safety

devices as well as the presence

and function of the protective

devices prior to commissioning

■

In the event of defects that

endanger the operational

safety of the units, operation

must be discontinued

immediately

■

The units may only be used

in an assembled state and

for their intended purpose

■

Safety components

(e.g. protection grids) must

not be removed or rendered

inoperative

■

The units must not be operated

in potentially explosive areas

■

It is imperative that safety

distances to combustible

materials be maintained

■

The protection grid and areas

of the surface become very hot

when the units are operational

■

The direction of radiation may

only be altered when the units

are in a cool state

■

Never insert foreign objects into

the units

■

The units may only be operated

in enclosed spaces continuously

and without supervision

if a suitable room thermostat

is installed

■

Never operate the units without

supervision unless it can be

guaranteed that no unauthorised

persons will be in the vicinity

of the units

■

The units must not be covered

during operation

■

The units must not be operated

directly below a wall socket

■

The units must not be operated

in the vicinity of bathtubs,

showers, swimming pools etc.

■

The units must not be exposed

to direct jets of water

■

Never allow water to enter

the inside of the units

■

All electrical cables for the

units must be protected against

damage (e.g. by animals)

The minimum safety distances

stated below must be adhered

to at all times.

Installation as a standing unit

1. Fasten the mounting angle (A)

onto the pedestal using 3 M8

screws and lock washers.

2. Fasten the unit’s mounting

bracket (B) onto the mounting

angle using 2 M8 screws and

lock washers.

3. Set the unit

down in a stable

position on a

level and non-

combustible

base.

Installation on a wall

1. Remove the mounting bracket

(B) from the unit housing (C).

2. With due consideration for

the required safety distances,

attach the mounting bracket

(B) horizontally and securely

to a load-bearing wall consisting

of non-combustible material.

3. Mount the unit housing (C)

back onto the mounting

bracket (B).

The power cable should hang

down.

4. Adjust the direction of radiation

as required and tighten

the lateral fastening screws.

Unit installation Safety distances

The units are delivered in a pre-assembled state and can be operated

either as an standing or wall-mounted unit.

Min. 1.80 m

Min. 1.0 m

CAUTION

Observe adequate safety

distances at all times!

REMKO EST

1. Remove the mains plug from

the mains socket.

Caution! The units are hot!

It is imperative that the units cool

down sufﬁciently before they are

touched.

If the unit does not heat up, follow

these steps to locate the fault.

1. Check the mains fuses on site.

2. Check the mains plug.

3. Check the mains cable for

damage.

4. Check that the heating resistor

is functioning correctly.

It is only possible to replace

the heating resistor at a

specialist workshop.

If all of the functional checks

have been carried out without

any ﬁndings, please contact

an authorised service station.

ShutdownCommissioning Troubleshooting

Individuals who have been

adequately trained in the handling

of the units, should be tasked with

the operation and monitoring

of the units.

The personnel tasked with

operating the units must check

the units for visible defects on

the operating and safety devices as

well as the presence and function

of the protective devices prior

to starting work.

If defects are discovered these

must be reported to the supervisor.

1. Set the unit up in a stable

standing position or ensure

that the unit is securely ﬁxed

to the wall.

2. Check the mains voltage.

230V/1~/50 Hz.

3. Connect the unit’s power plug

to a properly installed and

safeguarded mains socket.
