removed from the packaging carefully and inspected for damage;
Rhino TQ3 Radiant Halogen Heater
(with power cord, plug & 2 x 1.4kW infrared halogen heater lamps)
GENERAL OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
WARNING: This heater is not fitted with a device to control the room
temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are
occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own
unless constant supervision is provided.
The Rhino TQ3 may be used with an electrical supply of 110V or 230V
dependant on the model (see Rating Plate).
If your model is the 110V variant, Rhino recommend the use of the
Defender 3.0kVA Heater Transformer with 32A outlet (Part No.
E205062).
The maximum permitted lamps are 2 x 1.4kW. For lamp fitting refer to
‘Installation of Infrared Halogen Lamp ’ on page 2.
The heater can be operated with either one lamp or both lamps
illuminated as desired, but ensure two lamps are fitted at all times.
IMPORTANT: DURING RELOCATION, THE HEATER
SHOULD REMAIN SWITCHED OFF AND DISCONNECTED
FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
In the event of the heater being knocked over, a safety cut-out switch,
which activates at an angle of 35º (±10º), will disable the heater. Follow
above steps to re-start the heater.
switch ‘off’ the heater at the on/off switches
disconnect the power cord from the power supply
return the heater to a standing position as described in the
‘Caution’ section
check lamps are inserted correctly into lamp holders ensuring
cooling time has been adhered (you may need to remove the
safety guard, see ‘Installation of Infrared Halogen Lamp’)
if no damage has occurred to lamps or lamp holders, replace
safety guard if applicable, re-connect power cord to the power
supply and switch the heater back on.
Should the power cord require replacement, a complete wiring loom
should be purchased and fitted by the manufacturer, his agent or a
suitably qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
IMPORTANT: THE MINIMUM SAFE DISTANCE FOR THE
HEATER FROM ANY OBJECT, MATERIAL OR SURFACE IS
2M. THIS MUST BE ADHERED TO AT ALL TIMES.
