Range of standard models
Air thermostats
Air thermostats can be provided to automatically switch the heater on/off and/or
to change the fan speed/heat output, in response to a fall or rise in ambient air
temperature.
Fitted air thermostats, Models 13, 15, 17, 20, 21, 23 and 25 only.
Capillary thermostats or room thermostats with accelerator heater, can be fitted for
on/off and speed change control.
Switches
Fitted external, internal or remote room switches can be provided to switch the
heater on/off, change fan speed, allow thermostats to work automatically or
to override any thermostats. The override “manual” switch allows the fans to
circulate room air when the boiler plant is shut down during the summer. A switch
can also be provided to open or close motorised dampers (models 19, 22, 53 and
88 with motorised damper).
Motorised damper
Damper models 19, 22, 53 and 88 can be provided with a 230V AC damper motor
as a standard option. 24V AC damper motors are available if specially requested.
Electric heating
All models, figure numbers 3, 4 and 6 only, can be fitted with a single phase, one
or two stage electric heating module, instead of the standard hot water heating
coil. The module includes electric element(s), power relay(s), high temperature cut-
out and miniature circuit breakers. Please refer to the Performance section of this
catalogue for outputs of models with electric heater modules.
Special controls
Various special control arrangements can be supplied to suit particular applications.
A 24V AC relay can be fitted, to allow a heater to be switched on/off remotely by a
Fitted plinth
controlled 24V AC supply.
24V AC relays can also be fitted, to allow master/slave operation of several fan
convectors from one pair of room thermostats. Please contact our local Agent/
Sales Engineer for details.
Fitted plinth
A 100mm or 150mm plinth, finished in black powder coating, can be fitted to all
floor and duct models, to raise the heater above the finished floor level.
Pencil proof loose grille and fixing frame Fitted isolating ball valves
Pencil proof loose grilles with fixing frames can be provided for use with heaters
which do not have fitted grilles. The fixing frame is intended for installation in
a wall opening, allowing the loose grille to be fixed to the frame with screws,
which are recessed between the grille blades. A loose grille has a natural anodised
surround and black powder coated grille core.
Loose grilles are unsuitable for external use. Proprietary weatherproof louvres are
recommended where outside air is to be introduced.
