Regulations governing installation

1.1. Statutory regulations governing installation
The Thermo Top Z and Thermo Top C heaters have been type-tested
and approved in accordance with EC Directives 72/245/EEC (EMC) and
2001/56/EC (heater) with the following EC permit numbers:
e1* 72/245*95/54*1232*--

Installation is governed above all by the provisions in Annex VII of
Directive 2001/56/EC.
NOTE:
The provisions of these Directives are binding within the territory
governed by EU Directive 70/156/EEC and should similarly be
observed in countries without specific regulations.
(Extract from Directive 2001/56/EC Annex VII)
1.7.1. A clearly visible indicator within the user's field of vision must
show when the heater is switched on or off.
2. Regulations for installation in the vehicle
2.1. Scope
2.1.1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2.1.2, internal combustion
heaters must be installed in accordance with the requirements contained
in this Annex.
2.1.2. In the case of class O vehicles of class O ( trailers ) with heaters for
liquid fuel, it is presumed that these vehicles comply with the requirements
in this Annex.
2.2. Position of the heater
2.2.1. Parts of the vehicle body and other components in the immediate
vicinity of the heater must be protected against excessive heat and the
danger of contamination by fuel or oil.
Regulations governing installation
2.2.2. The internal combustion heater must not pose a fire hazard even
when overheated. This requirement is deemed to have been met if care
is taken during installation to ensure an adequate distance from all parts,
as well as adequate ventilation and if fire-resistant materials or heat
shields are used.
2.2.3. In class M2 and M3 vehicles the heater must not be installed in
the passenger cabin. A device in a sealed cover, which also meets the
requirements set out in paragraph 2.2.2, may be used, however.
2.2.4. The plate mentioned in paragraph 1.4 ( model plate ) or a duplicate
thereof ( duplicate model plate ) must be fitted in such a way that it is still
clearly legible when the heater has been installed in the vehicle.
2.2.5. When positioning the heater, all reasonable precautions must be
taken to minimise the risk of personal injury or damage to items in the
vehicle.
2.3. Fuel supply
2.3.1. The fuel filler neck must not be located in the passenger compart-
ment and must have a tightly fitting cap to prevent any fuel leaks.
2.3.2. The type of fuel and the fuel filler neck must be clearly identified
on heaters for liquid fuel, for which the fuel supply is separate from the
fuel supply for the vehicle.
2.3.3. A sign must be affixed to the fuel filler neck warning that the heater
must be switched off before refuelling. An identical warning must also be
included in the manufacturer's operating instructions.
2.4. Exhaust system
2.4.1. The exhaust outlet must be positioned in such a way that exhaust
fumes cannot get into the interior of the vehicle through ventilation
devices, hot-air inlets or open windows.
