Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Models UESA-3 035 through 102 are design certifi ed to the CE EN1020 standard for use General in industrial and commercial installations only. All models and sizes are available for use information with either natural, propane or butane gas with operating temperature between -15°C...
2. UNIT HEATER Use the minimum clearances in section 4 and the throw data in the technical data table addended when determining where to suspend the heater. LOCATION Recommended minimum height is 2.5mm. For best results, the heater should be placed with certain rules in mind. Always REMARK ensure that minimum clearances are maintained.

Electrical supply 7. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND The electrical installation must only be carried out in accordance with the IEE regu- CONNECTIONS lations and by an appropriately qualifi ed person. The electrical supply line to the heater should include a main isolating switch. The minimum clearance distance between the contacts must be more than 3 mm.
If a restriction or excessive fl ue pipe length causes the sensing pressure to be be- low the allowable level, the pressure switch will shut off the main burner. Figure 12 Combustion air pressure switch UESA-3 Set point Off (Pa) Table 7 Set points OFF 1312UESA-3/GBEN, page 17/29...
