Important: At least one hot air outlet vent must be permanently open. This vent must be located the furthest
distance from the Space Heater. The hot air duct must not be fed into the centre branch of a T fitting see Fig. 22b.

Step 9 Internal and Underfloor Installation - Fitting Cold Air Supply
The Whale® Space Heater must be adequately supplied with cold air. If the Space Heater is installed in a bed box or
another confined space; vents into the area must be fitted or ducting used to supply the Space Heater with cold air. If
a vent is fitted, it must be no smaller than one designed for use with 60mm ducting. If ducting is fitted it must supply
air from the living space of the vehicle. To fit the ducting, push it onto the cold air inlet, where it will be gripped by the
nozzle.

Step 10 Mounting of Control Panel
When mounting the Whale® Control Panel, find a suitable convenient and accessible position. For good temperature
control, select a position away from draughts and approximately 1.5m above the floor. Ensure suitable access for
wiring loom connection and cable. Note: The cable supplied with the retail Space Heater to connect the Control
Panel to the Space Heater is 3.5m long. The minimum depth behind panel for wiring must be 40mm. If using a
Control Panel specific to the manufacturer of the vehicle the electrical connections must be made in accordance with
Step 11.
Option 1 - Mounting of Whale Space Heater Control Panel
The Whale Space Heater Control Panel requires a cut out 95mm wide x 42mm high. Feed the wires through the cut
out in the wall and locate into desired position. Secure with 4 screws (No.4 x
frame.
In some instances, it may be necessary to make the wiring connections in Step 11 before securing the Control Panel
to the wall.
Please note: It may be possible to retrofit the Whale® Control Panel into existing frames.
