WATER INGRESS PROTECTION:
Herschel SUMMIT is rated to a standard IP64. If used outdoors the Herschel SUMMIT must be under
permanent cover and fully protected against the risk of any water ingress or exposure to rainfall. The
canopy/roof/cover must be of a permanent nature and minimum distances observed, as detailed in Diagram
3, page 4 of these instructions. The cover must extend a minimum of 2m (79") around the heater. Herschel
SUMMIT is not intended for installation in locations that are permanently wet or humid.
Installation in potentially wet or humid rooms such as bathrooms must be carried out by a suitably qualified
installer and comply with local electrical safety requirements. Installation must be such that:
•
the heater must not be able to become detached from the fittings and fall into a bathtub, shower,
swimming pool or other water container;
•
Switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person in a bath or shower.
If in doubt, do not install. Herschel Infrared Ltd shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injury caused or
resulting from inadequate fitting or incorrect placement of heaters close to water sources.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION:
Installation must only be carried out by competent persons or a qualified electrician according to national
regulations. Wiring must be connected in accordance with the relevant national electrical safety standards
and must be earthed. The electrical supply to the unit should be provided by connecting to a circuit
protected by a fuse or miniature circuit breaker suitable for the electrical rating of the unit in accordance
with Table 1 and providing disconnection in both poles. Any electrical connections intended for use outdoors
must have water ingress protection ratings as good as, or better, than the protection rating of the heater
(IP64).

SUMMIT 2600 & 2600R
The mounting position of the unit must ensure that any mechanical damage to the flexible cable is unlikely.
Any exposed flexible cable is to hang down (not tied UP) & must have adequate clearance from the heater
to prevent scorching or damaging the cable.
The Kanthal element used in the SUMMIT produces an inrush current when first switched on. If 4 or more
Non-Remote-Control units are intended for installation on the same circuit, a soft start device must be used
to protect the heaters. Please refer to your electrician or Herschel for further information and to obtain
recommended soft start units. Failure to do so will damage the heaters and invalidate the warranty.
Ensure supply voltage does not exceed 245 volts.
