Information about the device

Device description
The infrared radiant heater (blacklight) IRD 1200 serves to quickly generate heat without emitting light.
The device is based on the functional principle of heat generation by infrared radiation. Persons or objects are heated directly.
Via a stainless steel heating coil enclosed in aluminum, the device emits most of its radiation energy in the long-wave infrared spectrum. The device does not generate any dazzling red light during operation. In addition, this type of heat generation is also energy-saving. The full heating capacity is only reached after approx. 10 min of operation.  This is why the device is classified as slow-acting with regard to its operating principle.
The maximum effective range is approx. 2.7 meters. Wind and draught, however, can reduce this effective range. For this reason, it is recommended to use the device in outdoor areas sheltered from the wind.
The 3 heating levels can be selected using the remote control.
The device indicates operation by means of two colored LEDs.
Using the timer function the device can be switched off automatically with time delay.

• suitable for outdoor use in areas sheltered from the wind
• IP55 type of protection – splash- and water-jet-proof
• suitable for mounting on walls and ceilings
• at an adjustable angle
• with no dust circulation (suitable for allergy sufferers)

Assembly
Warning of electrical voltage
Risk of injury due to incorrect assembly!
Local or national regulations may apply for installation.
We recommend having the installation carried out by a qualified electrician.
The device is suited for wall and ceiling mounting. Observe the following requirements for the installation:

Warning
Risk of fire due to improper installation!
There is a risk of fire if the required minimum distances are not observed.
Observe the “Installation” section in the “Assembly and start-up” chapter and the technical data in the “Technical annex” chapter.

Mounting the wall/ceiling holder
Info
The mounting procedure is identical for all devices.
ü Use tools suitable for the intended task.

1. Connect one device holder and one mounting bracket each using two medium hexagon screws (M6), hexagon nuts (M6), and spring washers (Ø 6.1 mm).
2. Connect the second device holder to the second mounting bracket.
3. Push the two device holders into the guide rails one after the other. Pay attention not to push the device holders over the power cable when inserting them into the guide rail.
   
4. The brackets’ position can be freely adjusted. The recommended distances are provided in the table below:
   

   Holder distance	IRD 1200	IRD 1800	IRD 2400	IRD 3200
   Minimum	400 mm	600 mm	800 mm	1100 mm
   Maximum	930 mm	1195 mm	1460 mm	1815 mm

5. Tighten the two wing screws on the device to lock the device holders.
   

Installation
When installing the device, observe the minimum distances from walls and other objects as described in the Technical data chapter.

• A minimum distance of 220 cm and a maximum distance of 270 cm from the floor.
•  A minimum distance of 100 cm to the front or from objects.
• A minimum distance of 30 cm from the ceiling in case of wall mounting or, for technical reasons, 19.5 cm in case of ceiling mounting.
• A minimum distance of 20 cm to the sides.
• Do not install the device directly in front of a wall socket.
  The socket should be located next to the device. If the device is installed on a pitched ceiling, the socket should be located at the bottom side of the device.
  
• Do not install the device directly behind a door.
• Please note that the minimum distance to the front also applies to objects mounted on the ceiling, e.g. fans, lamps or sprinkler systems.
  

Info
Please note that in the case of ceiling mounting the distance from the ceiling is 19.5 cm due to the length of the mounting brackets.
For wall mounting, the minimum distance of 30 cm from the ceiling applies.

The following is required for installation:

• a pencil for marking the drill holes
• a suitable drill
• wall plugs appropriate for the structure of the wall and for the device weight
• a screwdriver
• a spirit level

Note
Always install the device with the help of other persons.

1. Measure the distance between the holders on the device and use this value for the distance between the drill holes.
2. Mark the drill holes on the wall/ceiling. Please note the mounting brackets must be fastened vertically.
3. Drill the holes into the wall/ceiling at the marked positions.
   
4. Insert suitable wall plugs into the drill holes.
5. Screw the mounting brackets to the wall/ceiling.
   
6. Check the mounting brackets for a tight fit.
7. The device can be installed at an inclination angle of 0°, 15°, 30°, or 45°.
   Please note that the inclination angle must be 15°, 30°, or 45° for wall mounting and 0°, 15°, or 30° for ceiling mounting.
   
8. Connect the mounting brackets on the device to those on the wall/ceiling at the desired inclination angle. For each side, use two Phillips screws, two small hexagon nuts (M4), and spring washers (Ø 4.1 mm).
   
9. Make sure that the device is attached securely.

Errors and faults
Warning of electrical voltage
Tasks that require the device to be opened must only be carried out by authorized specialist companies or by Trotec.
The device has been checked for proper functioning several times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless, check the device according to the following list.
Noise generation (clicking) during switch-on or cooling:

• This is not a fault. The device’s metal parts expand when heated and contract when cooling, and thus generate noise. This is a perfectly normal process. No measures are required.

The device does not start:

• Check the power connection.
• Check the power cable and mains plug for damage. If you notice damages, do not try to take the device back into operation.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Check the on-site fusing.
• Wait for 10 minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company or by Trotec.

The device does not emit heat:

• The heating element may be defective. If the heating element is defective, have it replaced by a specialist electrical company.
• Check the heating level on the segment display. If P0 is displayed, the device is running in standby mode. Switch the device on by selecting another heating level between P1 and P3.
• Check the on/off switch. If the on/off switch is set to the 0 positions, the device is switched off.
  Switch the device on.
• Check the operating light. If the operating light flashes red, the device is running in standby mode. Switch on the device by selecting a heating level via  the remote control.
• Contact a specialist electrical company.

The heat output is low:

• Strong wind or cold temperatures in outdoor areas can impair the device’s heat output.
• Check whether the device is installed in the correct position. The device may be installed too high or the inclination angle may be incorrect.
• The device is undersized for the area to be heated.
• The heating rod might be defective. Have a defective heating rod replaced by a specialist electrical company.

RCD or another fuse trips:

• Check the fuse. Switch off any other devices to reduce the load on the line.
• Contact a specialist electrical company.

The device slightly vibrates during switch-on and then stops vibrating:

• Slight vibrations during switch-on are a normal process.

No measures are required.
The device does not respond to the infrared remote control:

• Check whether the distance between remote control and device is too large and reduce it if necessary.
• Make sure there are no obstacles, such as furniture or walls, between the device and the remote control. Ensure visual contact between the device and remote control.
• Check the charging status of the batteries and change them if required.
• If the batteries have just been changed, check them for correct polarity.

Note
Wait for at least 3 minutes after maintenance and repair work. Only then switch the device back on.
The device still does not operate correctly after these checks:
Please contact customer service. If necessary, bring the device to an authorized specialist electrical company or to Trotec for repair.
