Installation and operating instructions for air circulation heater INDIANA 2.0
Note: Should you have sensitive plants (e.g. cacti) that cannot tolerate temperature
variations in your greenhouse during winter, we recommend operating the heater in
operating mode 3 or 4. In this operating mode, the air is continuously circulated and
evenly distributed, avoiding temperature gradients between upper and lower layers of air.
The same is applicable to greenhouses with very high humidity. The danger of fungi and
mould is averted through continuous air circulation.
Operating modes 5 or 6 are appropriate if it is merely necessary to protect more robust
plants against frost. If in doubt, please consult a gardener about this.
Step 2: Set the desired temperature on the thermostat dial.
Referring to the above example, determine the thermostat setting corresponding to the
desired temperature and set the thermostat. Now allow the heater to run for a while and
monitor the temperature using a thermometer (we recommend a MIN-MAX
thermometer). Make minor adjustments up or down if the desired temperature was not
maintained.
This setting only needs to be made once, during initial start-up. After the correct setting
has been made, the heater will keep the greenhouse temperature constant.
Note: It is unfortunately not possible to show temperatures on the dial of the thermostat
because the temperature is dependent on size, insulation, stocking and location of each
individual greenhouse.
Summer operation:
Select operation with air circulation to ventilate your greenhouse in summer or promote plant
pollination. Choose position 2 on the selector switch for this purpose. In this operating mode, the
thermostat does not control the functions.
Recommendation:
Should you wish to keep valuable plants in your greenhouse over winter, we recommend installing a
second source of heating as a backup if this heater should fail (e.g. power failure). In this way you
can prevent your plants from succumbing to frost.
Note: Some smoke or smell may be evident during initial start-up. Do not worry. This is produced by
residues of oil or dust on the heater elements due to the manufacturing process.
Safety feature
Temperature-controlled switch-off: The apparatus will automatically be temporarily switched off if
it should overheat. To restore again, switch off the heater for 5 to 10 minutes to cool down. Another
reason for automatic switch-off may be blockages in the air inlet or exhaust apertures. In this case,
please remove the obstructing objects.
It may, however, also be an indication that the fan has failed. In this case, switch off the
heating apparatus, unplug it and call on an authorised specialist for repairs.
