*Minimum 16 inches from Side Wall

Figure 4 - Minimum Clearance for

Combustible to Wall

NOTICE: Non thermostat con- trolled heaters may be used as a vented product. If so, you must always run heater with chimney flue damper open and damper clamp installed. If running heater with damper open, noncombus- tible material above the fireplace opening is not needed. Go to Installing Damper Clamp Ac- cessory for Vented Operation, page 12.

Minimum Noncombustible Material Clearances

If Not Using Mantel

Note: If using a mantel proceed to If Using Man- tel. If not using mantel, follow the information on this page.

You must have noncombustible material(s) above the fireplace opening. Noncombustible materials (such as slate, marble, tile, etc..) Must be at least 1/2 inch thick. With sheet metal, you must have noncombustible material behind it. Noncombus- tible material must extend at least 8" up (for all models). If noncombustible material is less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood accessory (24" Models Only). See Figure 5 for minimum clearances.

If Using Mantel

You must have noncombustible material(s) above the fireplace opening. Noncombustible materials (such as slate, marble, tile, etc.) must be at least 1/2 inch thick. With sheet metal, you must have noncombustible material behind it. Noncombustible material must extend at least 8 inches up (for all models). If noncom- bustible material is less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood accessory (24" Models Only). Even if noncombustible material is more than 12", you may need the hood accessory to deflect heat away from your mantel shelf. See Figure 5 and Figures 6 and 7, page 11, for minimum clearances.

IMPORTANT: If you cannot meet these minimum clearances, you must operate heater with chimney flue damper open. Go to Installing Damper Clamp Accessory for Vented Operation, page 12.

One of the main features shared by all these models is their ability to optimize energy efficiency. They are designed with smart energy management systems that monitor and control energy distribution effectively. This ensures that energy consumption is minimized while maximizing output, making them ideal for both residential and commercial applications.

SMA18VPA and SMA24VNA are both characterized by high-performance inverters that convert DC electricity from solar panels into AC electricity. These models utilize cutting-edge inverter technology which increases energy yield even in partial shading conditions. Similarly, SBJ series, including SBJ24VNA and SBJ18VNA, emphasize modularity and flexibility, allowing users to expand their systems according to changing energy needs.

In terms of connectivity, these models are equipped with advanced communication protocols. This includes Wi-Fi and Ethernet options, which facilitate real-time monitoring and remote management through user-friendly mobile applications. Users can seamlessly track their energy production, consumption, and savings on their smartphones or tablets.

Another notable characteristic is the emphasis on durability and reliability. The materials used in these constructions are often weather-resistant, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance costs over time. For instance, SMA24VPA utilizes robust casing that protects internal components from environmental damage.

Furthermore, these systems are designed to be environmentally friendly. Many of the models boast certifications that confirm their compliance with international environmental standards, promoting a sustainable approach to energy consumption.

In terms of scalability, the Desa series stands out. Users can start with a smaller setup and gradually expand as their energy needs grow. This adaptability makes these models suitable for a wide range of applications from small homes to larger industrial installations.

In conclusion, Desa SMA18VPA, SMA24VNA, SBJ24VNA, SBJ24VPA, SMA24VNA, SMA24VPA, SBJ18VNA, SBJ18VPA, SMA18VNA, and SMA18VPA are at the forefront of energy technology.
