To install the HERSCHEL 3kW Variable Power Controller, follow these steps:
1. Switch off the mains supply before starting the installation.
2. Determine whether the IR load is rated below 2KW or above 2KW. If it is below 2KW, the controller can be recessed in a wall. If it is above 2KW, the unit must be mounted proud of the wall to ensure adequate cooling.
3. Connect the controller according to the wiring diagram provided in the manual, using cables suitable for the maximum load rating of the IR heater load.
4. It is recommended to use a suitably rated semi-conductor protection fuse or Z-type MCB to protect the internal triac device (max rating 20Amps).
5. Ensure that the unit is properly earthed.
6. The installation must be carried out in accordance with the current IEE regulations (BS7671).
7. Make sure all earth wires are connected to maintain earth continuity.
8. Check all wiring and tighten the cable glands.
9. Save these instructions for future reference.
Please note that it is recommended to have the installation and maintenance of this equipment carried out by suitably qualified personnel, with reference to the current edition of the I.E.E. Wiring Regulations BS7671.
