PlaceMent anD clearance reQuireMentS
The system dimensions and required clearances MUST be taken into
consideration when choosing its location within a structure. (See
Figure 2 for dimensions and clearance requirements.)
The best installation location for the system is in a space requir-
ing heat so some amount of the heating requirements can be satis-
fied through static dissipation from the warm outer panels of the
ThermElect Hydronic system. In situations where the system is not
installed in an area it is intended to heat (i.e. garage or storage area),
it is important to account for the heat lost through static dissipation
by making proper adjustments when sizing the system.
This area must remain free of debris and most importantly the
room air should be maintained at less than 85 o Fahrenheit. Area
may require ventilation. Refer to Specifications (Pages A.01-A.02).
It is the responsibility of the installer and system designer to provide
this ventilation.
In addition to the physical space requirements, the weight of the system must also be taken into consideration when
selecting the installation surface. A level concrete floor is the designed installation surface, but most well supported
surfaces are acceptable. If unsure of floor load capacity, consult a building contractor or architect.
Special requirements must be considered if placing the system in a garage or other area where com-
bustible vapors may be present. Consult electrical, building, and fire prevention codes.
SySTEM REQUIREMENTS
FIgURE 2
dIMENSIONS
Some electrical codes may require a greater front and/or left side
clearances depending on operating voltages and other factors.
CLEaRaNCES
 Back = 8 inches
 Bottom = 1 inch (from combustible material)
 Right Side = 12 inches
 Top = 8 inches (from combustible material)
 Left Side & Front = 36 inches (for ease in servicing)
Adhere to clearances and provide appropriate ventilation to maintain
no greater than 85 o F air temperature in area where system is installed.
Risk of fire. Can cause injury or death.
Violation of the clearance require- •
ments or failure to provide proper
ventilation can cause improper op-
eration of the system. Maintain the
placement and clearance require-
ments as specified and provide
ventilation as necessary.
Moving the system after install
•
may result in equipment damage.
Do NOT move system from original
installed location.
