Product Overview Rev B DEC 17

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

As there is typically constant air movement in an outdoor or open indoor area, many conventional heaters rely on convection
heating which works by heating the surrounding air. This can be quite impractical for these areas, as this heated air can easily
blow away with natural air movement. Radiant style heaters transfer heat directly to objects through infra-red waves.
Whilst convection heaters heat the air in between objects, radiant heaters 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.

Innovative, High Performance Electric Heating Technology — for outdoor and indoor areas

Using the radiant heating principle, HEATSTRIP® Intense can provide effective and energy efficient comfort heating for
outdoor (undercover and open) 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.

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.

The THY2200 (2200W) 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.

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 en tire area based on the t ot al di mensions of the sp ace, reg ardless of w het her t he en­tire area is being fully occupied or not.

Option 2 i s to sp ot heat the hig h use areas , such as over ou tdoor tables, BBQ’ s, loung es, assembl y li nes 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.
