Page 3: Safety Instructions
WARNING – The Si Series Panel is not designed for use as a clothes dryer. Do not cover the heating panel with any clothing, towels (wet or dry), rugs, curtains etc. These flammable items will impair the correct operation of the heating panel and might lead to overheating of the panel and fire. - Page 4 21. Single heating panel installations may use a plug-in utility power (120VAC) thermostat, which can be purchased from your local hardware/DIY store, or ILO North America representative. 22. Please consult your electrician or an ILO North America representative if you have any safety concerns or questions.

Protection Class - The Si Series Panels are rated as a Class I appliance. This means the aluminum frame is connected to electrical earth (ground). If a live conductor contacts the frame then current will flow through the earth (ground) conductor and will either trip the circuit breaker or the RCD (GFCI) if fitted.
- Page 7 Max. Ambient Temperature - This is the safe maximum temperature of the local environment the heating panel is mounted in. Max. Ambient Humidity - This is the maximum relative humidity in the local environment for the heating panel. These panels are not designed for use in wet or damp environments. Their protection class rating is IP30, which means no exposure to water is permitted.

Then install the panel as outlined above. The Si Series far infrared heating panels may be suspended from joist or rafters by steel cables or chains in a manner compliant with local building codes. It is not advised to use nylon or polyethylene cord to suspend the panels as these materials are flammable. - Page 15 Figure 9c – Large Room Installation Figure 9d – Small RoomInstallation Plan View Plan View • Figure9dshowsasmallerroomheatinstallation • In Figure 9c above, three heating panels are of 215ft (20m ).

Page 16: Correct Placement Of The Control Thermostat
The mounting height restriction that is normally included with a standard room thermostat can be ignored with Si Series Heating Panels. In a room that is warmed by Si's far infrared heaters, the thermostat may be located at any level between 1 foot (30cm) above the floor, to 1 foot (30cm) below the ceiling because the typical floor to ceiling temperature difference is only 3.5 to 5.5°F (2... -

OPEN - NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE As the Si Series Heating Panels are maintenance free it is not required for a user to ever open the heater. The heating panels are secured by rivets to prevent unauthorized opening. No user serviceable parts are contained within. -
Page 18: Troubleshooting Your Si Series Infrared Heating Panel
Reinstall the heater on its mounting brackets. Plug in the heater, switch it on, and check it for normal operation. 13. Troubleshooting Your Si Series Heating Panel If you suspect that your heating panel is defective, before returning it to the Spectrum Infrared service center, read the operating instructions carefully, and then please follow these instructions. -
Page 19: Saving Energy With Si Series Far Infrared Technology
14. Saving Energy with Spectrum Infrared’s Far Infrared Technology The sun, which is the world’s oldest source of infrared heating, emits a wide radiant spectrum. It ranges from the safe far infrared warmth, to dangerous and damaging ultraviolet wavelengths. The sun’s rays travel a great distance through space without requiring a medium to transmit its energy. -
Page 20: The Advantages Of Using Si Series Infrared Heating Panels
This far infrared at 7,000 to 10,000nm wavelengths travels mostly around the air molecules in a room. As with a standard flashlight, the far infrared light simply passes through the air as the gases have very little mass. Hence, the air is not heated. When the far infrared light collides with surfaces (including people and objects in the room) a portion of the invisible light’s energy is absorbed (causing the surface to heat up slowly) and some is reflected.
