How to connect an infrared heater ?

Required tools and materials

ForIn order to quickly and easily install the infrared heater on the ceiling, you will need the following tools:

1. drill or screwdriver (zasverlivat holes for mounting).
2. pliers (to shorten the wires).
3. Indicator screwdriver (to determine the phase and zero).
4. metal detector (optional, used to search for wires and metal objects in the wall, you do not accidentally get into these objects when drilling. You can choose to make a metal detector improvised.
5. Simple pencil and construction tape (to mark the site of attachment to the wall.)

With regard to additional materials, the installation and connection of the infrared heater you may need:

1. Collapsible electric plug
2. Three-core copper cable, section 1.5 mm.kv.
3. Wall Mounts.(available on request, as are included only ceiling brackets).

After gathering all the necessary materials and tools list, you can continue to mount and connect the heater ..

basic process

Hanging body

First we need to definethe installation location of the infrared heater in the house (or apartment).As we mentioned above, the housing can be placed on the ceiling and on the walls, depending on the individual preferences of the owners.

first thing you need to mark the place of installation of fixtures.To do this, use a tape measure, a measure out equal distance from the ceiling to the selected area.It is also recommended to use building level with which the bracket can be smoothly put in a horizontal plane.

After marking proceed to drilling.If the ceiling (or wall) of wood, drill drill holes.If you have to deal with concrete, can not do without Punch.The holes must be created to drive a dowel and screw the brackets and then you can install the infrared heater into place.

draw your attention to the fact that the design of the unit is different.Some products have a guide fixed in brackets.A simpler option - chain anchored in the ceiling (for them and cling special holders).You can also see on the market infrared heaters on the stem, which simply put on the floor.

Electrical work

As we said at the beginning, the process of connecting an infrared heater to the network will be carried out using a temperature controller.

First you need to connect the contacts folding electric plug to the thermostat terminal blocks that are installed in the product package.Each "nest" has its own designation: N - zero, L - phase.It should be noted that both the zero and the phase terminals of at least two (from the network to the controller and from the controller to the heater).It's pretty simple - we clean the wires, insert them into the seats until it clicks (or tighten the screws).Be sure to follow the color-coded wires to the connection is correct.

To your attention the circuit is connected properly:

As you can see, to connect infrared heater through the thermostat is quite simple, the main thing is not to confuse wire and carefully tuck them into the terminal blocks.

very important thing is to select the correct location of the controller.Do not install the product near a heater, asin this case, the warm air entering will adversely affect the accuracy of measurements.It is best to place the device in a remote area, at a height of half a meter above the floor.

Also note that you need to install the controller in a very cold room, or a problem with the heating will not be solved completely.As for the number of serviced infrared devices one temperature controller, then it all depends on the power of the heaters.Typically one controller using 3 kW for a few items, the total power of not more than 2.5 kW (the stock was that at least 15%).

To You clearly see the whole process of connecting with their hands, offer to view this lesson:

In conclusion

That's the instructions for installing and connecting the infrared heater directlyand to the thermostat network.As you can see, the event is quite simple and requires no special skills in electrical engineering.

Finally I would like to add some of its own recommendations, related to the installation and maintenance of products:

• there are mechanical and electronic thermostats of today.The advantage of the first option - the low cost and ease of use.At the same time modern products with a dial are a large number of functions that will make heating not only economical, but also automatic.We strongly encourage you to give preference to modern electronic products, asit will facilitate your life and make the most efficient heating.
  
  
• Design IR heaters can be different.Strict white units do not necessarily acquire.For example, if you finish the walls realized with wooden paneling, we recommend to buy the product with the color "under the tree" housing that fits into the interior of a sauna and a wooden balcony.For the bathroom can come and classic white body, most importantly the right to place it on the wall.
• If your house does not have central heating system, it is not necessary to independently connect radiators and install electric boiler.Much better to heat the room it is infrared heaters, aswarm air is directed from the top down, not the other way around (as with convection heating).In the picture you can clearly see the principle of operation of the two systems in the room:
