general-purpose outlet is required to be positioned within 1.5 m of the appliance. Wiring shall be
in accordance with the local supply authority regulations. Ensure that the polarity of the
power outlet is correct, as shown in Figure 5.

A suitable electrical light is to be provided near the appliance to assist with servicing and the
switch placed adjacent to the access opening.
Room Thermostat
The appliance is run with either a manual or a programmable room electronic thermostat. The
thermostat should be installed on an internal wall, approximately 1.5 m above the floor where it
will be exposed to open flow living room air circulation, normally near the return air intake. It
should not be installed on an outside wall or where it is exposed to direct sunlight, heat sources,
draughts, or other conditions, which could adversely affect its operation. Generally, the
hallways/walkways, living or dining room is a suitable location, provided there are no cooking
facilities or refrigeration appliances on the opposite wall facing the thermostat. Mount the
thermostat and run a 24-volt control wiring from the thermostat to the heater unit. Connect the
terminals labelled "R" and "W" on the thermostat to the screw type terminals labelled "R" and "W",
respectively, on the PCB connection strip. Ensure that the hole through the wall for wiring to the
thermostat is sealed to prevent draughts from affecting the thermostat sensor. The control wiring
that passes into the heater should use a cable gland for safe harnessing the wiring on to the
PCB. This gland should be fixed in the hole located at the lower left-hand side of the upper
access door. For further information concerning the thermostat please refer to the separate
thermostat instructions used with the unit.
Duct Connections
All return air and the supply air duct connecting collars are circular or oval. Refer to Table 2 for
dimensions. Two starting collars are provided with each unit. It is very important to the
satisfactory functioning of the installation that the duct system be properly sized,
installed, and pressure balanced.
Warm Air Ducting
From the outlet/supply air duct connection of the unit, install adequately sized ductwork to the
outlet/supply air registers. Flexible ducting should be used where noise transfer may be a
problem particularly at the duct connection points. All ductwork, fittings and registers shall be
sized to comply with AS5706- Design Manual for Indirect Gas Fired Ducted Warm Air Central
Heating Systems or the relevant one. It is highly recommended that the ductwork be insulated,
especially where it runs through an unheated space. The supply air connection should be
transitioned to the proper duct size. All ducts should be suspended using flexible hangers.
Ductwork should not be fastened directly to the structure. Care should be taken to ensure that all
ducting is free from internal obstructions, free of leaks and adequately supported. Likewise,
ducting should not be caved in, crushed, or slack in any manner.
