1.5. Electrical installation

The appliance requires a single-phase 230 V supply. It is necessary to check carefully that the supply
voltage agrees with the required voltage of the appliance. The heater does not need installation
requirements outside the norm, therefore it is suitable for installation in accordance with the
Electrotechnical Low Voltage Regulations. Although it is well known by the installers, we include
below some of the basic rules.
For installations in bathrooms or toilets, please take into account the following volume considerations
and explanations for each one:
PROHIBITION VOLUME: This volume is made up of the space within the vertical planes tangent to the
outer edges of the bathtub, toilet, washbasin or shower, and the horizontal planes made up of the
floor and a level of 2.25 m above the base of the fittings or 2.25 m above the floor where the fittings
are embedded into it.
PROTECTION VOLUME: This is comprised of the same horizontal planes described in the prohibited
volume and other vertical planes located within 1 m of those already mentioned.
In the PROHIBITION VOLUME: switches, sockets and lighting must not be installed within this volume.
In the PROTECTION VOLUME: switches must not be installed within this volume, but secure sockets
with differential protection may be installed.
The heater must be installed outside of the PROHIBITION VOLUME. The power supply will have to be
wired through a omnipolar interrupter, circuit breaker or contactor. The installation must be protected
with fuses of a rating that corresponds with the intensity absorbed. The socket must be placed in such
a way that when the heater is installed the plug is accessible. An earth connection must be included
throughout the electrical installation. In order to ensure this connection the plug comes provided with
the relevant contact. It is important that the style of any other plug used is the same type as the one
provided with the appliance.
The electrical system of the premises or house must be checked to ensure that it is equipped with
an "EARTH" wire. This appliance complies with the regulations on radio-electric disturbances and
interferences.
NOTE: All maintenance and replacement of the fittings is prohibited (including the feed cable), unless
it is by the Technical Assistance Service.
