Why choose HEATSTRIP® electric radiant heaters for your outdoor or hard-to-heat indoor area?

Many conventional patio heaters rely on convection heating which works by heating the surrounding air to provide comfort. This can be quite impractical for outdoor and open-indoor areas as there is typically constant air movement which can easily blow away the warmed air. Radiant style heaters transfer heat directly to objects through infra-red waves.

While convection heaters heat the air between objects, radiant heaters directly heat the surface of the objects themselves.

HEATSTRIP ^® electric radiant heaters are more effective within an outdoor or uninsulated indoor area because they provide targeted warmth directly to the people and objects in their path.

Discrete, stylish heating for undercover outdoor and indoor open areas

Using the radiant heating principle, HEATSTRIP ^® can provide effective and energy efficient comfort heating for undercover outdoor and indoor open areas. HEATSTRIP ^® has successfully enabled many entertainment venues such as restaurants, pubs and clubs to utilise their outdoor dining areas day and night, through all seasons. Within your workplace or business, HEATSTRIP ^® can provide comfort heating for designated outdoor smoking and leisure areas, as well as for workstation spot heating in factories, warehouses and showrooms. Within your home, HEATSTRIP ^® can provide comfort heating for undercover alfresco dining and BBQ area, patios, verandas, courtyards and balconies.

Subtle, minimalist design

The stylish, slimline black face of the HEATSTRIP ^® does not emit light or glow when in use, blending elegantly into your décor. Ceiling, wall and umbrella mounting options ensure that your valuable floor and table space is not wasted.

Efficient, cost effective electric heating

The innovative design of the HEATSTRIP ^® enables comfortable and even heat dispersion from the heater surface with minimal operating costs.

Operating cost comparison

In many instances, patio heaters powered by gas bottles are used as an outdoor heating source. The below table shows the operational cost comparison between HEATSTRIP® and a bottled gas outdoor heater. Not only are the hourly running costs considerably less with HEATSTRIP®, but you never have to worry about running out of gas, no refilling, no unattractive gas bottle to waste space; and HEATSTRIP® actually improves the value of your property.

RUNNING COST	OUTDOOR GAS HEATER	HEATSTRIP® CLASSIC ELECTRIC RADIANT HEATER
		THH1800A THH2400A THH3200A
PER HOUR	2.78/hr	0.36/hr	0.48/hr	0.64/hr
PER YEAR	500.40	64.80	86.40	115.20

Notes:

1. Calculations of hourly running cost for outdoor gas heater is based on \25.00 average to fill a 9kg gas bottle and average running time of 9 hours. \25.00 / 9 hours = \$2.78 per hour
2. Electricity rate of 20.0 cents/kWh
3. All calculations are excluding GST.

1.8kW x 0.20 cents = \$0.36 or 36 cents per hour
2.4kW x 0.20 cents = \$0.48 or 48 cents per hour
3.2kW x 0.20 cents = \$0.64 or 64 cents per hour

Calculations of yearly running cost are based on 180 hours usage

180 hours x \2.78 = \500.40 yearly running cost for outdoor gas heater

180 hours x \0.36 = \64.80 yearly running cost for 1800W HEATSTRIP®

180 hours x \0.48 = \86.40 yearly running cost for 2400W HEATSTRIP ^®

180 hours x \0.64 cents = \115.20 yearly running cost for 3200W HEATSTRIP®

Spot heating principle

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

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 high use areas. Spot heating will reduce both the initial capital cost as well as the ongoing running costs. Spot heating will allow the area to be “zoned”, meaning only the areas that are being used are heated, such as tables in a restaurant or outdoor alfresco area.

Option 1 and 2 show a comparison between heating an entire area or spot heating over a table.

The bottom layout shows the flexibility of using HEATSTRIP ^® to provide a comfortable environment, even when the layout of the area is very unusual.

Radiant footprint

HEATSTRIP® electric heaters produce radiant heat which heats objects rather than the air. Therefore, it is imperative that

objects to be heated (ie. people), are within the direct radiant footprint of the heater.

The diagram to the left shows the radiant footprint of HEATSTRIP® Classic, and is an approximate guide based on a fully enclosed outdoor environment.

This diagram shows that the maximum heat output is found directly under the heater, and the temperature decreases as you move away from the heater.

It highlights the importance of maintaining recommended mounting heights, and if possible, positioning the heater directly above the area to be heated.

Note that the temperature is the same for all 4 models, regardless of the wattage.

However, as the size increases and the length of the unit increases, the radiant footprint will be longer.

The below diagrams show the approximate heating area for each model, based on both an indoor and outdoor enclosed environment, with direct overhead mounting.

The radiant footprint is reduced in angled, wall mounted installations.

Selection guide

General recommendations for HEATSTRIP® Classic:

• Ideal mounting height: 2.3m to 2.5m. Maximum is 2.7m in a fully protected/enclosed outdoor environment.
• Ideal mounting location: ceiling mounted, directly above area to be heated (eg. above a table)
• Based on the radiant footprint of the previous page, for a protected outdoor area, a minimum of 500W/m ^2 is required. For indoor spot heating, a minimum heating capacity of 400W/m ^2 is recommended.

The table below outlines the coverage of each HEATSTRIP® Classic model based on 3 different scenarios with direct overhead mounting. For example, for an outdoor area that is protected from prevailing winds by walls, café blinds etc, Model THH 1500A will cover 3m^2 and Model THH2400A will cover 4.8m^2 .

For angled wall mounting applications, the coverage is reduced by up to 40%.

Installation Requirements

The ideal mounting position for the HEATSTRIP® Classic is on the ceiling directly above the area to be heated. If this is not possible, HEATSTRIP® can be mounted on a wall and angled downwards. In this situation, ensure the mounting height is in the range of 2.1m to 2.7m and the table is within 2.5m of the wall.

For mounting heights more than 2.7m, we recommend the use of the optional accessories to reduce the height of the heater to 2.3m—2.5 m. 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. If the heater is to be mounted on an incline (e.g. vaulted ceiling), ensure the electrical connection is located at the lowest point of the heater.

Maintenance

The HEATSTRIP ^® Classic 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 hose down the heater and 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. Carrying out the cleaning process at least every three months will reduce the amount of build up and keep the Heatstrip in good condition. 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.

HEATSTRIP® Wall Controller with Remote

The HEATSTRIP ^® Classic can be controlled via a simple on/off wall mounted switch, however it is recommended to use a controller with a variable heat modulator and a timer, to give the best performance and lowest running cost.

TT-MTM Wall Controller

This controller is a custom designed and manufactured controller for HEATSTRIP® heaters. It has been designed for ease of use and to provide low running costs of your heater. It provides both temperature control (allowing the user to turn the heat output up or down depending on the ambient temperature and conditions) and a timer for automatic heater shut-off operation.

The timer function has four settings: 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours or constantly on. This feature is ideal for applications such as BBQ, alfresco areas, restaurant dining, assembly line production etc. when continuous heat is not required. The timer also reduces the likelihood of heaters being inadvertently left turned on.

Depending on the ambient temperature there may be a requirement to adjust the heat output of the heater. The controller has 3 settings, they are High, Medium and Low.

The controller allows a combination of the multiple timer (1/2/4 hour) and heat outputs (High/Medium/Low).

The controller comes with a remote control unit which provides convenient control of the heater power output and timer functions.

Controlling multiple heaters

It is possible to use one wall controller to control multiple heaters. The wall controller is rated at 16 Amps and 240 volts. For a larger current draw, talk to your electrician who can use a relay to connect more units.

Remote pairing

All units operate using the same remote control frequency, therefore, multiple wall controllers can be operated using a single remote control.

The remote will function at distances of over 8m when used in a straight line. This distance reduces when used at an angle.

TT-MTM CONTROLLER INSTALLATION GUIDE

Controller Wiring Example

Boiler Wiring Example Load 16A Max L N THERMOFILM Model No.: TT-MTM2 Power Input: 220-240V~50Hz Max Load: 16A RESISTIVE E893 3 ACTIVE NEUTRAL EARTH GANG BOX 220-240V~ 50Hz Supply

The TT-MTM controller requires sufficient air circulation in order to provide continuous operation on the high power load setting. The vents must remain clear at all times; never block or cover the vents.

An ideal controller installation will provide significant space around the back of the controller. Installing into restricted spaces, such as brick walls, may result in overheating if adequate ventilation is not provided.

Heater wiring schematic diagrams

It is recommended to install an ON/OFF isolation switch before the controller and ensure the unit is turned OFF after use.

Multiple heaters can be operated using a single controller, however the maximum current rating of 16A must not be exceeded. For direct wiring to the controller, the maximum is generally one heater unit unless the combined maximum current is less than 16A. For example, 2x THH1800A can be connected directly to the controller.

Below are example circuits indicating potential installation configurations.

Always check with your electrician and ensure all wiring is in accordance with local regulations.

For multiple units from one wall controller it is recommended to talk your electrician who will use a relay or contactor.

Heater wiring schematic diagram with relays

When more heating units need to be connected from the same controller a relay or contactor will be required. Below is an example circuit indicating one potential installation configuration. Always check with your electrician and ensure all wiring is in accordance with local regulations.

Note to electrician: The controller modulates the heat output using a "timed on / timed off" function. The controller does not modulate the voltage output. A relay is therefore suitable for this application.

CAUTION: A MINIMUM 250W LOAD MUST BE PLACED ACROSS THE CONTROLLER Failure to provide this minimum load will potentially damage both the relay/contactor AND
