Installation
5. Installation
This chapter shows how to install the radiator. Before the device is assembled, the wall structure
must be checked for suitability. It may be necessary to create additional openings or an air duct for
rear ventilation. All protective films and transport protection must be removed.
NOTICE
Damage due to incorrect mounting location
The IR radiator is not suitable for outdoor use!
The radiator may only be used inside buildings and must not be exposed to
environmental conditions such as extreme humidity or wetness with possible
formation of condensate or corrosive media in the ambient air and other
weathering.
The radiator is not intended for installation in the cabin ceiling or in a sloping roof.
5.1 Cabin specifications
The cabin must be planned and constructed in accordance with the specifications before the
radiator is installed.
Electric cables
►
All electrical installations that are laid inside the cabin must have silicone cables and should be
suitable for a temperature of min. 170°C.
All cables must be laid in such a way that they are reliably protected, e.g. in a cable duct. EOS
recommends that all connection cables be routed through a flexible metal pipe connected to the
protective earth.
Planning advice
►
The emitters should be arranged so that the user is heated from
as many directions as possible for an optimal heat treatment.
An example given in the Fig. 3 shows the installation in four cor-
ners by a single person cabin. Depending on the cabin size and
layout the position of radiators may vary.
The distance between the emitter and body surface depends on
the power output.
By Vitae 750 W the recommended distance to the user should be approx. 50 cm.
Also by other versions (350 - 500 W) the distance should not be less than 15 cm.
