Page Page 11 .General Information EHC Combination Electric radiators have been designed using the latest technology to create an elegant solution for all hard to heat situations. They can be installed in almost any location apart from the safety restrictions noted in this manual. The range has been developed to provide a flexible solution for electric heating in Domestic properties, Conservatories, Holiday homes, Offices and any temporary heating situation. Our unique patented ’Magmatic’ heating tablets provide the heat source for your new radiator. Whilst the radiator is classed as a 100% efficient Direct Acting appliance, the heating tablets provide partial storage to prolong your heating comfort and to reduce running costs. The radiator has a robust body which incorporates a spot welded high fin surface area to ensure that there are no contraction noises during the heating cycle. The high fin design boasts 6 times the normal radiator surface area to provide a balance of Convection and Radiant heat for your added comfort. The radiators can be simply plugged in to a Standard socket or Hard wired to an existing spur connection. The range has the flexibility of being Wall mounted or free standing on Castors or Feet. For added versatility we can supply Conservatory radiators which are also ideal for use below windows with low sills. Control types: All our standard model sizes are supplied with a TEI 1 manual room thermostat. For a fully controllable central heating system, the radiators can be installed with our EHC Control Box, Single or twin Zone Programmer 's and Room Thermostat s to comply with the latest Building Regulations. In addition to the above we also supply Radio Frequency controlled radiators which provide all the benefits of the standard version however the control wiring is eliminated. These models can be controlled by our T-Pod and T-Basic Programmers. Also available is our TDI range of Electric Radiators. Simply plug in the radiator to a standard 13amp socket and control by TIME & TEMPERATURE using the TDI control located within the side of the radiator. WiFi Control: DSR WiFi Control is our easy to use App based control system. To take benefit of this feature you simply need to purchase and connect the radiators to our DSR Wifi Gateway. The DSR WiFi App gives you total control of all your heaters independently or in groups should you choose. The system can be controlled from a computer,smart phone or tablet using our Free App. Additionally, adding an optional Power Meter to the system will give you further controllability over the total available power within your home. The Power Meter constantly monitors the whole house electrical demand. If the set demand is ever reached the system will temporarily disable your chosen heaters until the demand is reduced where they will be reactivated automatically. All EHC radiators are manufactured to the highest safety and quality Standards. Each radiator is CE Marked and carries all the necessary European Approvals. Each radiator is fully checked and tested prior to leaving the factory and as such is packed with full Quality certification. We hope you enjoy the comfort provided by this superior product and we look forward to being of assistance to you in the future. Page 22.Safety Information Handling This radiator is very heavy. Take adequate precautions when lifting and manoeuvring it. Always assess the load, and seek assistance with heavy or awkward loads that are beyond your capabilities. Positioning This radiator is very heavy. In order to maintain stability and to ensure its future safety in use, it is essential that the radiator is FIXED SOUNDLY TO A WALL and that the brackets are mounted on a FIRM, LEVEL SURFACE. Castors or Feet can be purchased as an accessory. Care should be taken to avoid irregular surfaces. It is important that the following instructions are strictly followed. Keep the following minimum safety distances to avoid fire risk due to high surface temperatures of the appliance during heating cycles: Lateral heating walls – masonry ........................................................50 mm Lateral heating walls – combustible matter ......................................100 mm Heating walls above floor ...................................................................80 mm Cover plate – combustible covering installed on top of it ................150 mm Cover plate – non-combustible covering installed on top of it .........100 mm Please note that our IPX4 rated models should be used in bathrooms. Portable radiators must not be fitted in bathrooms or wet areas. CAUTION – This radiator must not be located below or in front of a fixed socket outlet. DO NOT POSITION under windows where curtains may contact the radiator. DO NOT PLACE THE APPLIANCE in the vicinity of a swimming pool. Installation It is important that the fixing device chosen is appropriate to the wall material to which the radiator is being fixed. Some modern internal building materials are very low density block and require specialised fixing devices to provide a safe, secure installation. Ongoing safety CAUTION – If during any reassembly of the radiator, a part of the thermal insulation shows damage or deterioration which may impair safety, it should be replaced with an identical part. CAUTION – In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the radiator. DO NOT COVER OR OBSTRUCT the surfaces of the appliance. DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS in contact with the radiator. Page 33.Installation Preparation 1.Before beginning, remove the radiator and parts from the box and check everything is present and correct. In addition to the radiator body, there should be a top grille, a pair of mounting brackets, four suspension hooks, a set of mounting screws & plugs and an instruction manual. 20 cm37 cm50 cm67 cm 80 cm110cm140 cm Rad.

Wall fixture and fittings 2.Drill, plug, and secure the brackets to the wall. Appropriate fixtures must be used depending on the wall material: Solid brick/High density block walls These must be drilled and plugged with the Rawlplug No. 10 size fibre inserts provided. The correct size of drill (5.5mm) should be used and the hole should be drilled to a depth of 8mm greater than the length of the Rawlplug so that the fixing is made below the plaster layer. Low density block walls A special fixing, such as Unifix LB70 should be employed, (following fixing instructions). Panelled internal walls It is preferable to locate the studding and use the No.10 size wood screws provided. Where it is not possible to locate the studding use Hollow wall anchors and securely fasten the brackets to the plasterboard when this method is used we recommend that radiator feet are used to take the full weight of the radiator. For other wall materials the wall panel manufacturer should be consulted for details of suitable wall fixing GeYiFes. Note: Radiators will be set to an approximate height of 185mm from the floor when support feet are used. 3.Fit two Small suspension hooks into the bottom slots in the brackets, and hang the bottom of the radiator on them. Make sure the radiator is sitting right back on the hooks and not just resting on the fins. Fit the other two Large suspension hooks in the top slots of the brackets, and lift them up. Push the radiator back against the wall and drop the suspension hooks back down to lock it in position. The top grille of the radiator can then be fitted and secured with the securing screws at each end. Page 53.Installation (cont.) 6.At the bottom of the radiator, next to the mains connection there is a small temperature sensor. Loosen the gland and pull the sensor down by approx 5 cm, then re-tighten the gland. This enables the radiator to gauge the room’s temperature.
