These instructions should be read and carefully retained by the user.
The installation of these appliances must always be carried out by a competent
electrician and be in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations and
relevant Building Regulations.
The radiated heat from the heater is considerable and must be taken into
account when siting the heater. Ensure that the heater is not used in close
proximity to the skin or eyes.
Always isolate the heater from the supply before undertaking any maintenance
work of the appliance.
The Vector range of heaters are designed for internal use only. They are not
rated as flame-proof and must not be used when flammable dusts, gases, or
vapours, etc., are likely to be present in the atmosphere. If in doubt, advice
should be sought from the Health and Safety Executive inspectors or local fire
officers.
Quartz lamps are extremely fragile and must be handled with extreme care at all
times. Avoid touching the surface of the quartz sleeve with bare fingers. If the
sleeve is accidentally touched remove the finger print with a soft cloth moistened
with methylated spirits.
As with any fragile fitting mounted above head height, care must be taken when
siting the heater to avoid locations where it may be subjected to knocks. In high
risk areas such as sports halls etc. extra guarding may be required to protect the
heater from flying objects.. If in doubt consult the heater manufacturer.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EAR THED. HEATERS MUST BE
MOUNTED OUT OF REACH FROM OVERHEAD WALKWAYS AND
OPENING WINDOWS. THE HEATER MUST BE SECURELY FIXED AS IT
WILL BE DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF ANY INSECURITY IN ITS
FIXINGS.

  • Page 2 ASSEMBLY VECTOR 1 Remove the front assembly (see fig.1) and disconnect the lamp leads from the terminal block. Remove knockout(s) as shown in fig.2. DO NOT attempt to remove knockouts on assembled heater as this will cause damage to the fragile lamps. If a guard is to be fitted it is necessary to remove one end cap from the heater front (see fig.3).
  • Page 3: Installation

    INSTALLATION FLOOR WALLS & CEILINGS The minimum mounting heights are: - Vector I and Vector RP 1.8M Vector II 2.5M Vector III 3.0M (Also applies to apposite wall when wall mounted) The above dimensions also apply to the distance required to a side wall when suspended and a distance of 1.0M is required to any end wall for all heaters regardless of type of mounting.
  • Page 4: Electrical Supplies

    IMPORTANT When deciding upon the best location, consideration must be given to the following requirements. a. Avoid structures liable to vibration, e.g. crane gantries, which could otherwise adversely affect lamp life. b. The lamps are designed to operate within 5° of the horizontal plane. It is very important to ensure that the heater is mounted horizontally, otherwise the operating life of the lamp could be impaired.
  • Page 5: Maintenance

    IMPORTANT Ensure the electrical supply cable is routed and restrained to prevent contact with the external surfaces of the heater and is not positioned in the direct heat beam. When heater is close to a ceiling the reflectors must be rotated to avoid the heat beam from directly overheating it.
  • Page 6: Safety In Operation

    SAFETY IN OPERATION The heater is operated by simply switching on the electrical supply, or, if used in conjunction with a control system, then the supplier’s instructions must be observed. ALWAYS disconnect the heater from the supply before attempting to work on or near it.
