INSTALLATION
These infrared heaters are designed for comfort
are to be permanently mounted to the wall or ceiling with the
fixture directed to the area to be heated. The unit is designed to
give years of safe, trouble-free operation when properly installed,
operated and maintained.
A. Site Selection:
The supporting structure where the heater is attached must have
adequate strength to safely support the heater. This heater has
been evaluated by UL for outdoor use only if mounted
underneath an overhang using a quartz tube heating element.
The heaters should not be mounted close to insulation, drapery
or similar materials which could come in contact with the cabinet
or heater guard. The heaters are intended for elevated mounting
locations so that they radiate down to the floor area. A mounting
height should be selected so that the heater has adequate
clearance to moving equipment and personnel, yet low enough to
deliver heat to the selected area. For heater weights and
minimum clearances, see tables 3 & 4:
