1. Please check that your HEATSCOPE® radiant heater and accessories are complete and not damaged. In special take care of the glass holders of the model range VISION, which hold and surround the glass ceramic front screen. Press the holders carefully back in position, untill they click into place again.

If the housing or reflector is deformed/damaged or the heating element is broken, do not use the HEATSCOPE® unit. Please contact the vendor or the manufacturer.

The cable must not be crushed, squeezed or damaged.

If the unit or accessories show signs of defects, cracking, breakage or other damage or if the industrial glass ceramics screen is damaged, discontinue use and have them repaired. In this case, disconnect the unit from the power supply, return it to the manufacturer or dispose of it. The unit should be labelled accordingly to prevent it being reconnected.

2. For installation use only the supplied accessories or original accessories approved by the manufacturer. The power cable or other components of the HEATSCOPE® radiant heater may only be replaced by a professional servicing company enlisted by the manufacturer. Before starting the installation, you must ensure that the operating voltage corresponds to that stated on the nameplate of the HEATSCOPE® or accessories. Note that depending on the currently available supply voltage the actual power of the device may change as well as the emitted power as a result of environmental influences.

The supply cable must be connected generally in a commercially available wet room distribution box with IP65 protection class acc. to IEC or UL / CSA (not within the scope of supply).

3. A short power-supply cord (or short detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a larger cord.

Extension cords (or longer detachable power-supply cords) are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

lf an extension cord (or a long detachable power-supply cord) is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2) lf the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding type 3-wire cord.

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).

Outdoor extension cords should be used with outdoor use products and are surface marked with suffix letter „W“ and with a tag stating "Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances“.

CAUTION! To provide continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

4. HEATSCOPE® heaters together with all available accessories feature IP protection class IP24. Nevertheless, it is mandatory to install the unit on a surface where it is well protected from any weather influences like rain and dust from above; so the HEATSCOPE® has to be installed under a roof, an overhang or in combionation with the optional available weather shield. Never install the HEATSCOPE® heater on combustible material like wood, wooden surfaces etc.

5. CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground. As soon as the unit is connected to a power source and switched on using an „ON/OFF“ switch or other operating component, it takes a maximum of 15-30 seconds until it reaches its operating temperature.

Important! Before first use, please clean the heater surface with an alcohol-free customary glass cleaner. Fingerprints can cause discolour at the surface.

6. CAUTION! Hot surface! Avoid contact! Risk of burns! – The front screen (approx. max. 572 °F) and protective fin front (approx. max. 752 °F) gets very hot while the unit is operating.

Do not cover either part of the front or the entire front of the radiant heater. Do not touch any part of the HEATSCOPE® during operation and up to 30 minutes after switching it off.

7. For your own safety, never dry textiles or other materials using the HEATSCOPE®. Covering the radiant heater may result in a fire! Always maintain a distance from the heating surface of the HEATSCOPE® of at least 60.00 inch from textiles, cloth and other easy inflammable soft materials.

8. Ensure that cables, furniture, flammable materials or other objects do not come into contact with the surface of the radiant heater and never cover the unit. Under no circumstances should the unit be covered or enclosed with insulating or similar materials. Adequate ventilation surrounding the heater must be ensured at any time. Ledgers, beams and rafters must not be cut into or grooved to install the infrared heater.

The following spacings are necessary to limit the temperature between the HEATSCOPE® radiant heater and adjacent surfaces:

Ceiling installation: min. 6.70 inch to the ceiling, min. 79.00 inch to a horizontal surface, min. 16.00 inch to a vertical surface;

Wall installation: min. 6.00 inch to the ceiling, min. 71.00 inch to a horizontal surface, min. 16.00 inch to a vertical surface.

When installing the HEATSCOPE® radiant heater, ensure that the safety clearances from the wall and ceiling set out in this manual are maintained.

Always maintain a distance from the heating surface of the HEATSCOPE® of at least 60.00 inch from textiles, cloth and other easy inflammable soft materials.

9. Disconnect the radiant heater from the power supply before cleaning it, adjusting the angle or removing it from the wall/ceiling. Wait until the heating elements are not glowing any more and the housing is noticably cooled down. If buried cables are used, switch off the power using an omnipolar switch.

10. The HEATSCOPE® features an omnipolar „ON/OFF“ switch. The unit can be controlled manually either using an IR remote control (supplied, depending on the model) or a selector switch on the unit itself (depending on the model as well). The unit must be connected to a residual current circuit breaker and a fuse on the installation side – a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) must be installed.

11. The unit must only be used with an approved isolating system, which must be built in the existing electrical installation acc. to the facility regulations. The heater comes as standard with a separate open-ended cable for connection purposes.

12. The power cable or buried cable with omnipolar switch may only be replaced by a professional specialist electrical company enlisted or approved by the manufacturer. Heating elements, other components or parts of the housing may only be replaced by a service organisation enlisted by the manufacturer.

If you yourself or someone enlisted by you carries out repairs, they will not be covered by the guarantee. Improper repairs and incorrect installation or operation shall invalidate the guarantee immediately.

13. If the heater was installed inappropriately or was connected unhomogeneously with the local electrical supply cable, high transfer resistances may occur, which lead to overheating of the device. For the heating system and many custom applications the heaters were equipped with a NTC temperature control and an additional latching temperature limiter. Ordinarily possible overheating due to inappropriate installation is protected by the NTC temperature control and the latching temperature limiter. If overheating of a carbon heating element occur due to interlinkage of mounting and installation mistakes, the carbon filaments inside of the quarz tubes will fuse and safely disconnect the current flow. Even after a mechanical break of the quarz tubes, the carbon heating spirals will not work any longer. Besides the fin front screen of the SPOT heaters and the glass ceramic, high temperature resistant front screen of the VISION heaters provide best protection of the installed carbon heating elements.

Functional description of the NTC temperature control: If the system temperature of the electronical control exceeds 217.4 °F, the upper heating element will shut off temporary by default to avoid overheating of the electronical parts. After a short time the heating element will switch on automatically again. The self-controlled shut off of the heater will take place only, if the heat dissipation inside the device is inappropriate, if the heat radiation is interfered or if the ambience temperature is way too high. Apart from that the NTC temperature control supports energy safings, if the ambient temperatures are too high and the highest heating level of the heating unit is not necessary.

Functional description of the latching temperature limiter: If the NTC temperature control is not working against expectations, the latching temperature limiter will shut down the lower heating element permanently, until the heater is shut off totally by hand. After cooling down (warm to the touch) and fixing the inappropriate heat dissipation inside the device and/or the interfered heat radiation the heater can be switched on again. If the lower heating element shuts down once more, a system malfunction or a heat dissipation inside the device or an interference of the heat radiation or an error in the electrical installation may be the reason. If a system malfunction inside the device causes the shut down, the heater must be repaired by a professional technician; please contact your dealer immediately. If a wrong cable connection causes the shut down, this has to be checked and fixed through a professional electrician on the spot.

Installation and connecting regulations with tested and approved luster terminals are part of the delivered equipment.

14. The radiant heater must not be installed directly below a power source/socket. The sides of the unit must be at least 8.00 inch from the nearest power source. Sockets/power sources must be freely accessible at all times and comply with the following specifications: 220–240 V AC , 50/60 Hz, 16 A with 16 A fuse. No other loads may be connected to this power source.

15. The radiant heater must not be installed in close vicinity to bath tubs, showers or pools nor in rooms where there is permanent high humidity. The distance to the bathtub or shower must be at least 40 inch and the distance to the pool at least 80 inch. A person standing in the bath tub, shower or pool should never reach the switch or controller of the heater. If the HEATSCOPE® is installed in such an environment with high humidity, the switches or other operating components must be positioned in such a way that they cannot be touched by persons who are in direct contact with water. When a radiant heater is installed in a bathroom, the CE standard requires that at least one heating element visibly „glows“ as soon as the unit is switched on.

16. CAUTION! To provide continued protection against the risk of electric shock, disconnect the supply cord before cleaning, adjusting the angle or removing it from the wall/ceiling. Wait until the heating elements are not glowing any more and the housing is noticeably cooled down. If buried cables are used, switch off the power using an omnipolar switch. Wait at least 30 minutes after the last use before you start cleaning it. All surfaces should be cleaned using a damp cloth only. Never use cleaning products containing alkaline substances such as sodium hydroxide or soap, surfactants or solvents such as alcohol. Use only a very soft cloth or a brush for the reflector and the heating elements.

Do not clean this product with a water spray or the like.

17. Make absolutely sure to always switch off the device after use.

18. Store product indoors when not in use – out of the reach of children.
