Section 5, Installing Fan Heaters

•If a “passive” radiant heat system is desired (i.e. baseboard or fin and tube configurations), consult ITR for recommended installation procedures and design.

Multiple Zone Heating

The Oasis™ Heating Module can supply heat up to five interior zones using the Distribution Module (Optional). Refer to Section 9 – Installing Distribution Module.

Up to five thermostats (positive DC compatible) can be installed to allow temperature regulation of the zones. The thermostat controls the fan heater.

For larger installations, consult ITR.

Accessories and Components Needed

In addition to the fans themselves, you will need at least some of the following optional accessories and equipment which are not supplied but which can be purchased separately.

•Thermostats — thermostats can be installed in the interior.

•Air Outlet Vents — covers that are installed flush with the wall to vent heat for the installed heater unit.

•Fan Guards — to protect the fan blades from damage, recommended for fans installed in storage areas or other accessible areas where something could contact the fans.

•Screws — #10 sheet metal screws or wood screws to mount the fan units. See Figure 5-2: Mounting a Spacesaver Fan.

•Two-Speed Fan Switches – to enable low and high- speed settings from inside the coach or yacht; for use with the ITR Cabin heater and Spacesaver fan.

•Three-Speed Fan Switches — to enable low, medium and high-speed settings from inside the coach or yacht; for use with the ITR defrost heater.

•Air Ducting — to allow you to install fans in a remote location (i.e. not directly adjacent to the interior space
