Description of Device
The units are operating with electric energy. They are spe-
cially designed for the usage of hot air hoses and for a fully
automatic, all-purpose and simple application.
The units are equipped with capsuled electrical heating
elements, noiseless maintenance-free axial fans, safety
and after-cooling thermostat, thermostat socket and
connecting cable with plug.
The units are in accordance with the basic safety and
health requirements of the relevant EC – regulation.
The units are handled simply and are safe in operation.
Working of device
The units are equipped with a 4-stage operating switch.
In the first stage only the supply air fan is operated and
the units can be used for air circulation.
In the 2nd – 4th. stage the heating elements are acti-
vated and hot air is discharged.
The units can be operated with a room thermostat
(accessories) which is ready to be plugged in, to ensure
a constant room temperature. When the pre-selected
temperature has been reached, the thermostat stops
the heating operation to restart it when the temperature
has fallen below the set value.
When the units have been switched off by the operating
switch or the room thermostat, the supply air fan contin-
ues running for a certain time to cool down the heat ex-
changer, and then it stops automatically.
!
Connecting cable extensions may be laid exclu-
sively by authorized electricians based on the unit
capacity, cable length and taking the local terms of
use into account.
Starting
A well trained person is to be charged with the opera-
tion and control of the units.
