Herschel Inspire panels are rated to a standard (minimum IP54) enabling them to be located within zone 2
in a bathroom. This means they can be placed above a sink and outside other splash zones, or the white
panels can be installed on the ceiling. They cannot be installed in zones 0 or 1.
Installation in potentially wet or humid rooms such as bathrooms must be carried out by a suitably qualified
installer and comply with local electrical safety requirements. Installation must be such that:
•
the heater must not be able to become detached from the fittings and fall into a bathtub, shower,
swimming pool or other water container;
Switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person in the bath or shower.
•
If in doubt, do not install. Herschel Infrared Ltd shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injury caused or
resulting from inadequate fitting or incorrect placement of heaters close to water sources.
POSITIONING:
This is an infrared panel heater. It heats objects by transferring energy directly from the heater into the
object. Therefore, consider placing the heater where it will not be immediately obstructed by objects like
furniture or where it cannot effectively radiate out, such as at the edge or in the corners of a room. Objects
placed in front of the heater will heat up and can prevent effective heat dispersion into the room. Avoid
placing it opposite windows or open doorways.
Only White Panels are designed for ceiling mounting, please check with your local dealer before mounting
to the ceiling. To ensure a firm mounting point is obtained for ceiling installations, locate a ceiling joist
(which may be behind plasterboard) to install the mounting brackets onto.
If mounting in a ceiling grid do not place insulation material directly onto the rear of the panel.
Herschel Glass panels consist of ESG (security glass). This is a special mechanically stabilized glass, which will
break in small, edgeless pieces. The mounting location should be chosen in such a way that the glass cannot
be accidentally broken and people will not be in danger from a possible break in the glass.
The minimum distance from the back side of the panel must be 25 mm to the mounting surface. This will
always be the case if the mounting hardware provided is used.
Objects in front of the panel must be at least 400mm away and 200 mm away from the sides. The distance
from the sides of the heater must also be respected if it is intended to recess the heater into the wall or
ceiling. Failure to do so will cause excess heat to build up behind the heater and will void the warranty.
The distance between the sides of the heater and the sides of any adjacent heater must be a minimum of
800mm. Failure to do so could cause excess heat to build up behind the heaters and will void the warranty.
INSTALLATION:
WARNING:
Installation should only be carried out by trained and approved engineers or competent persons.
If the heating panel is being hard wired, the electrical installation should only be carried out by suitably
qualified personnel.
Wiring to this appliance must be connected in accordance with the relevant national electrical safety
standards. It is a Class 1 appliance and must be earthed.
