The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN & YELLOW	EARTH
BLUE	NEUTRAL
BROWN	LIVE
BLACK	PILOT WIRE

(See also ‘Pilot Wire Connection’)

The heater is fitted with a length of flexible cable for connection to the fixed wiring of the premises through a suitable connection box positioned adjacent to the heater.

The supply circuit to each heater must incorporate a double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm

Pilot Wire Connection

The BLACK control wire is designed to carry a signal from slot in or wall mounted Dimplex programmers. If, however a programmer is not being used, the pilot wire should be isolated in accordance with the current IEE Wiring Regulations.

Do NOT connect the BLACK pilot wire to earth

Any 240V insulated cable may be used to link pilot wires around the ring main. A low signal current is used. Suitable connections would be either an additional single core wire marked or colour coded appropriately or use a 4 core cable throughout the ring main. Please refer to the relevant programmer installation and operating instructions for further details on pilot wire connection
