I N T R O D U C T I O N

The Alpha H3 heater produces radiant heat like the sun, warming people and objects rather

than the air in between. It is mounted on an adjustable bracket that allows the heat to be

directed exactly where it is required. The Alpha H3 can also be used in a modular system in

that more than one heater can be connected together - see ‘Configurations’ later in the

manual. The Alpha H3 weatherproof heater is designed for indoor and outdoor use.

Please read the following instructions carefully before use. The safety of this heater is

guaranteed only by its correct usage in accordance with these instructions, therefore

they should be retained for future reference.

Before using this appliance

1. Check that the voltage indicated on the units rating label corresponds to the mains

supply voltage.

2. Do not install the heaters less than the minimum height from the floor as specified below

in the specification table.

3. Ensure that the heater has been securely fastened in its final mounting position.

4. WARNING - This appliance must be grounded and hard wired!

5. WARNING - Keep the supply cables away from the front and body of the heater which

will get hot during use.

6. Do not cover or obstruct the heater while it is in use.

7. Do not insert any object through any slot or opening in the heater.

8. Do not use if a grille is not present.

9. When replacing the emitter or cleaning the unit, ensure that the hard wired circuit(s) is

disconnected from the mains supply. Note: always ensure that the lamp emitter is cool

before handling.

10. Do not handle the halogen emitter with bare hands. If it is inadvertently

touched, remove finger marks with a soft cloth and methylated spirit or

rubbing alcohol. Otherwise, the marks will burn into the quartz glass of the

lamp emitter during use causing premature heater failure.

11. The heater is not intended for use by young children and must be supervised

by a responsible person at all times.

The heater is fitted with 3 × supply cords measuring 79in (200cm) for hard wiring.

WARNING: Wiring procedures and connections should be in accordance with the National

Electric Code (NEC) and local codes.

WARNING: If the supply cord(s) becomes damaged, it must be immediately replaced by a

qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

CAUTION: Disconnect electric power supply before working on circuit wiring to prevent electric

shock.

CAUTION:

Please observe the minimum safe distance between the heater body and any

inflammable surfaces.

CAUTION: When the electrical connection is outside weatherproof sockets must be used having

ground fault protection (GFCI or GFI).

NOTE: CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN, IF IN DOUBT.

C O N F I G U R AT I O N S

The Alpha H3 heater contains three lamp emitters. It can be installed as a single unit or

joined to one other single unit with joining bars that are available to connect the heaters

together and increase the size and output of the installation. The maximum number of Alpha

H3 heaters that can be joined together is two. Please read the section ‘joining heaters

together’ for information on how this should be done.

 The Alpha H3 heater should only be wall

mounted in a horizontal manner or hung from

a ceiling from chains (not supplied).

 When wall mounting the Alpha H3 heater, do

not position the heater at an angle more than

50° and less than 30° as shown in Fig. A.

 When ceiling hanging the Alpha H3 heater,

ensure the minimum distance from the

ceiling is adhered to as shown in Fig. B.

 Always allow the heater to cool before attempting to

reposition/move. Never attempt to move the heater

while it is switched on!

 Observe the minimum safe distance between the heater

body and inflammable surfaces and objects when

mounting.

 Please refer to the specification table for the

recommended positioning of the heater with regards to

minimum distances. Do not install the heater in a

corner!

 Keep out of the reach of children.

1. When wall mounting, securely fasten the L-shaped

wall brackets to the mounting surface using both of the

fixing holes in the short part of the bracket (see Fig. D for

mounting hole centres). Please refer to the specification

table for recommended positioning of the heater. Please

note. wall fixings are not supplied. They should be

selected to substantially support the weight of the

installation. If in doubt contact a professional for advice!

When hanging from a ceiling two equal length and gauge

chains are required and should be selected with fixings

that are adequate to hold the weight of the heater. Again,

if in doubt contact a professional for advice!

2. The heater should be mounted with the terminal box

at the bottom of the heater when being wall mounted.

3. When wall mounting, fix in the required angular

position by tightening the fixing bolts on the brackets at

the rear of the heater as shown in Fig. C. The heater

should face directly down when hanging.

4. Secure the supply cable so it is not resting on the

body or obstructing the air-vents.

Always isolate the heater from the mains su ly when

adjusting the osition.

1. Take the first heater and place it face down on a flat surface.

2. Take the second heater and place it face down and positioned parallel to the first heater.

3. Push the bolts used to hold the wall brackets through the hole in the brackets on the rear

heaters and slide a shake-proof washer on all the threads from the protruding side.

4. Slide the joining bars on each bolt and fit a washer and nut – do not fully tighten at this

point.

5. Ensure the second heater is still parallel to the first and sitting flat.

Slide the joining bars on each protruding bolt of the other heater to connect them

together and fit the washers and nuts.

7. Again, ensuring the heaters remain flat, fully tighten all four nuts to secure the joining

bars in place.

 When two Alpha H3 heaters are joined they should only be hung from a ceiling on

chains - do not wall mount!

 Always allow the heater to cool before attempting to reposition/move. Never attempt to

move the heater while it is switched on!



Observe the minimum safe distance between the heater body and inflammable

surfaces and objects when mounting.

 Please refer to the specifications table for the

recommended positioning of the heater with

regards to minimum distances. Do not install the

CAUTION: Unplug/Switch off unit from the mains supply before replacing a lamp emitter

or any maintenance procedure including cleaning.

CAUTION: Should dust or dirt appear on the reflectors, it is recommended that that the

wire grilles and lamp emitters are removed and the reflectors are wiped with a lint-free

cloth before reassembling (see lamp emitter replacement instructions).

NOTE: For re lacement lam emitters or s are arts lease contact your local

distributor quoting model ty e and rating from rating label. It is very im ortant that

your re lacement lam emitters are exactly the same as the one it was su lied

with. Failure to fit the exact same ty e can cause the heater to rematurely fail.

CAUTION: Please ensure that the length of wires on the replacement lamp emitter are the same

as shown in the diagram below (Fig. H).
