BRIEF DESCRIPTION HI-SPEC M31 is an open-flued, fan assisted downflow, ducted warm air heater, which may be supplied with SYSTEM E-T or BASIC control. A HIJAN 6 circulator is available as an option. A rear rising duct kit is available for this air heater.
Installation shall be in accordance with the current editions of:- Building Standards (Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations Building Regulations Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (as amended) BS 7671 Institute of Electrical Engineers (I.E.E.) Wiring Regulations BS 6891 Installation of Low Pressure Gas Pipework of up to 28mm (R1) in domestic premises (2nd family gases). BS 5440 Pt.
If any room or area from which air is drawn for ventilation or combustion contains an extract fan, the permanent vents must be sized to ensure that the operation of the appliance(s) at full rate is/are not adversely affected. A spillage test as specified in sub-para 7.8 (Safety Checks) is carried out and any remedial work undertaken.

7.7 AUTOMATIC CONTROLS CHECK 7.7.1 Ignite the Pilot and Main Burners and allow to operate for 15 minutes to ensure stability. 7.7.2 Set the TIME CONTROL to ‘ON’. 7.7.3 Turn the Thermista-stat or room thermostat slowly clockwise until the Main Burner ignites. 7.7.4 Ensure that the fan starts to operate after a short period (approx.
9. MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT: Ensure that the gas and electricity supplies are isolated before commencing any maintenance or replacement of components. After completion of any maintenance, always test for gas soundness and carry out a complete functional test of the appliance in accordance with the Commissioning Instructions at Section 7.1 to 7.8 inclusive. 9.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 9.1.1 Operate the appliance and check for the correct function of the burner and controls. 9.1.2 Turn OFF the gas and electrical supplies to the appliance. 9.1.3 Remove the air heater front panel. 9.1.4 Remove and check the return air filter/cleaner for cleanliness, remove and clean the Air Circulation fan as detailed in paragraph 9.8.

9.10 ELECTRONIC MODULE REMOVAL (SYSTEM E-T models only) 9.10.1 Ensure that the electrical supply is isolated. 9.10.2 Remove the appliance louvre door, release the securing screws and hinge down the fan chamber door. 9.10.3 Disconnect terminals ‘21’ through to ‘33’ from the Electronic module. 9.10.4 Release the 2 x screws and nuts securing Electronic module to Electrical Assembly and remove module.
10. DEFECT DIAGNOSIS 10.1 IMPORTANT If an electrical defect occurs after installation of the appliance; preliminary earth continuity, polarity and resistance to earth checks should be carried out with a multi-meter. On completion of any maintenance/fault finding task that has required the breaking and remaking of electrical connections, then checks of c ontinuity, polarity, and resistance to earth must be repeated. 10.2 WARNINGS 10.2.1 When purging or checking gas supplies, ensure that ventilation to the room or cupboard is adequate, and that all naked lights are extinguished. 10.2.2 SYSTEM E-T MODELS When carrying out any electrical testing, a test meter MUST be used, since low resistance test devices can cause damage to the Electronics module.
