3. Selection Guidelines

For comfort heating applications, a heat load calculation should be made and HEATSTAR units
selected to meet the heating requirements.

Model THP750S

The THP 750S model is designed for ceiling mounting. As a guideline for normally insulated areas with
a ceiling height from 2.4 to 3.6m, allow 15 square meters of floor space per heater.

For example, a room of 45 square meters would require 3 x THP 750S units
(45 sq m ÷ 15 sq m = 3 units)

Note: The THP 750S will heat larger rooms than 15 square meters but a longer warm up time is
required.

For zone heating applications, allow one (1) THP 750S unit per person, and mounting height should be

2.4 meters.

Model THP450

The THP 450 model is suitable for ceiling or wall mounting. As a guideline for normally insulated areas
with ceiling height of 2.4 to 3.2m, allow 9 square meters of floor space per heater.

For example, a room of 18 square meters would require 2 x THP 450 units
(18 sq m ÷ 9 sq m = 2 units)

Note: The THP 450 will heat larger rooms than 9 square meters but longer warm up time is required.

4. Installation and Operating Instructions – THP 750S
