Innovative, High Performance Electric Heating Technology

Features & Benefits

High Output radiant heat

HEATSTRIP ^® Intense electric radiant heaters produce radiant heat that travels through the air directly to people and surfaces below – similar to the heat rays emitted by the Sun. Radiant heating is the only viable option for outdoor or tough indoor sites.

Maximum heat performance – multiple applications

The high temperature output of the HEATSTRIP ^® Intense is perfect for exposed outdoor sites, high ceilings and hard-to-heat indoor and outdoor applications.

Suitable for permanent outdoor mounting, no protection needed.

For outdoor applications, the HEATSTRIP ^® Intense is suitable for both permanently exposed (eg. courtyards and patios) and undercover installations - does not need to be fully protected from the elements.

Corrosion protection

Built from corrosion resistant alloy, it is suitable for use in most applications, including difficult corrosive environments such as coastal areas.

Multi-Purpose Mounting Options

The HEATSTRIP® Intense is supplied with flexible mounting options. The standard bracket will allow both ceiling and wall mounting, at various angles, as well as suspension by chains/wires and metal rods.

DIY

The THY2200 & THY2200W is supplied with a lead and plug, and is therefore ideal for DIY installations with brackets included.

Element

Carbon filament infra-red heating element provides high performance instant heat.

Warranty

2-year residential and 1-year commercial warranty.

Material & Design

Anodised alloy casing and end caps with a powder coat hexagon grille. Available in both a black and off-white colour.

Spot heating principle

In most outdoor or difficult-to-heat indoor applications, there are 2 methods when looking at the size and quantity of heaters required.

Option 1 is to comfort heat the entire area based on the total dimensions of the space, regardless of whether the entire area is being fully occupied or not.

Option 2 is to spot heat the high use areas, such as over outdoor tables, BBQ's, lounges, assembly lines or indoor workstations.

Often it is more practical and efficient to spot heat these areas. Spot heating will help to reduce the initial capital cost, as well as the on-going running costs. Spot heating will allow the area to be “zoned”, meaning heating only the areas that are being used, such as tables in a restaurant or outdoor alfresco area.

The top diagram shows how HEATSTRIP® Intense is recommended to be used directly over a table, while the bottom diagram indicates how to spot heat a large area.

Selection guide

General recommendations for HEATSTRIP® Intense:

• Ideal mounting height: 2.3m to 2.5m, and the maximum is 2.8m. Minimum is 2.1m.
- Ideal mounting location: ceiling mounted, directly above area to be heated (e.g. above a table)

The below table outlines the coverage HEATSTRIP® Intense model (in m²), based on 3 different scenarios.

For example, in an outdoor area that is protected from prevailing winds by walls, café blinds etc, (e.g. outdoor enclosed)

This data is based on direct overhead ceiling mounting. If the heaters are wall mounted, the radiant footprint will be reduced.

Installation Requirements

The ideal mounting position for the HEATSTRIP ^® Intense is on the ceiling, directly above the area to be heated. If this is not possible, HEATSTRIP ^® Intense can be mounted on a wall and angled downwards. In this situation, ensure the mounting height is in the range of 2.1m to 2.5m.

For mounting heights more than 2.8m outdoors, we recommend the use of the optional accessories to reduce the height of the heater to 2.3m—2.5m. This will increase the effectiveness of your HEATSTRIP ^® . Refer to the Mounting Accessory section for more information.

Electrical connections/GPO's should not be located at the back of the heater. They should be located outside the physical footprint of the units to minimize heat build-up behind the units.

The HEATSTRIP ^® Intense is not suitable for mounting on an incline, along the length.

This Model may be hardwired and connected to an On/Off switch. In this situation, the heater must be installed by a licenced electrician.

MOUNTING

Fix the two mounting brackets to the ceiling or wall in the desired location (refer minimum bracket centre chart). Make sure the method of fixing (bolts or screws) will be more than strong enough to support the weight of the heater, allowing for strong winds and other conditions.

• Slide the 2 locking brackets into the groove on the back of the heater. Make sure the pins on the locking bracket are facing the matching holes in the top mounting bracket.
• Lift heater into position and secure the 2 locking brackets to the mounting brackets using the screws provided. Make sure the 2 pins on the locking bracket engage with the matching holes in the mounting bracket. The pins will allow for both horizontal or angle mounting as required
• Tighten all screws and tighten the round nut at the top of the bracket, so it locks onto the top part of the mounting bracket.

NOTE: The standard bracket allows for normal or angle mounting of the heater and is suitable for ceiling or wall mounting.

Maintenance

The HEATSTRIP ^® is made from durable materials, however regular care and maintenance of your heater will help prolong the life of the heater.

It is recommended that you clean the heater with a soft cloth, gently wipe the surfaces of the heater with a mild detergent to remove the built up contaminants from the environment. Then rinse all detergent off the heater.

All chemicals in the atmosphere including cigarette smoke, pollution etc. will tarnish the surface of the heater. In this case, additional cleaning and maintenance may be required. The cleaning process at least every three months will reduce the amount of build up and keep it looking as best it can. If the heater is in a corrosive environment eg. salt spray, we recommend that you clean your heater with a light spray of fresh water every week. After cleaning, turn the heater on for 20 minutes to dry any water residue and prevent water staining.

Before cleaning or inspection activity, the heater must be switched off and cooled down completely.

Do not use any abrasive materials or products to clean the heater, this includes solvents, citrus based cleaners or other harsh cleaning products.

When handling the heater, ensure that your hands are clean or that you use clean gloves as grease or dirt can mark the surface of the heater.

Do not use high pressure water to clean heaters, light water spray only.
