RE: pelonis disc furnace.w MODEL 1500W-ll
DEAR VALUED CUSTOMER:
You are now the owner of what we believe is the finest electric supplementary zone
heater available anywhere. You can be confident that your new Pelonis product will
give you years and years of low-cost, dependable heat.
Your pelonls disc tumace" is designed to maintain a constant room temperature,
as selected by you using the comfort control. By way of a patented electronic fan
speed control and taking full advantage of the unique properties of the Positive
Temperature Co-Efficient (PTC) heating elements you are able to maintain a cons-
tant room temperature with the most efficient and economical use of electricity.
As the room temperature approaches that pre-set by you, the disc furnace will
automaticlly reduce the speed of the fan and reduce the power consumed by the
PTC heating elements, saving you money!
NOTE: In the case of an abrupt reduction in room temperature, and only when the
unit is operating at low fan speeds, several minutes may be required for the heater
to respond to the changed room temperature and come up to higher heat output.
Please note that this new Thermostatically Controlled Model operates
sumewhat differently than other Pelonis modeis:
1)
Temperature Sensor - When unpackaging the Model
1500W-II,
the temperature sensor probe
{located on cord) must be extended fully out to the rear.
This sensor tells the unit the temperature of the incoming air;
2)
Testing your Model 1500W-II - Set the thermostat at maximum
(80°F)
for the greatest heat
flow. If set at a temperature close to exisiting room temperature, the fan speed will drop to
low rpms and there will be little heat flow from the unit;
3)
Warm Case - In normal operation, the Model 1500W-II will run "cool" at hig-her rpms until the
room temperature approaches that temperature set on the unit. When room temperature is
achieved, the fan speed decreases to approximately 200 to 400 rpms. As the heating
elements are always "on" and maintain a constant temperature of approximately 380
o
F, at
low fan speeds the case of the unit will become warm or even hot to the touch, but never
burning hot. Even when the unit is warm or hot, the unit can be comfortably and safely pick-
ed up by the integral "handle" (the top back lip of the case). .
Energy Conservation - To achieve maximum energy conservation, reduce the set-
ting of your existing heating system thermostat to lower than normal settings, such
as 55° to 60°, and use your Pelonis supplementary zone heater to achieve comfor-
table temperatures in only those rooms being occupied.
Please refer to the National Certified Testing Laboratories Report on the reverse
side for operating cost information. While yourPelonis cannot do the impossible,
nor defy the laws of physics, it will operate with exceptional safety; it will
automatically maintain desired room temperatures, and it will give you years and
years of dependable service, at a low cost of operation.
