INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your trust and support in choosing the RADtec Radiant Heater. Please read the instructions carefully before operating this product.

You have purchased one of the most advanced heating systems for indoor and outdoor areas. The infrared radiant heater is characterized by a focused distribution of heat, which transports heat evenly to where it is needed.

Keep these instructions for future reference and make sure to pass on the operating instructions to any subsequent owner of the unit and ensure that any supplements received are included with the instructions.

HOW FAR-INFRARED HEATING WORKS

At RADtec, our far-infrared radiant heaters’ energy output is best compared to the warmth of the sun. To be more specific, our heaters operate just outside of “visible light” on the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has the lowest frequency of all and therefore also the lowest energy level. Because of its wavelength, far-infrared “light” waves pass through the air, traveling around air molecules with virtually no ability to collide with and “excite” (heat) them. Instead, far infrared waves collide with the surfaces they encounter, gradually warming the surface (people/objects) within the space. It is what makes infrared heating the most efficient and healthiest way to heat any indoor or outdoor living space.

RADtec is the choice in electric radiant heaters for your outdoor or indoor areas

Our far-infrared radiant heaters are produced through our unique design and manufacturing techniques. When finished, this production process delivers our unique aluminum alloy radiant panels. We at RADtec refer to this as “slimline” technology. The surface of each panel is prepared with a special coating. Inside, each heater is an embedded heating element. When supplied with electrical power (turned on), this heating element generates and transfers heat to people and objects.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Discrete, stylish heating for outdoor and indoor areas

RADtec can provide effective and energy efficient comfort heating for outdoor and indoor areas. RADtec has successfully enabled many entertainment venues such as restaurants, pubs, and clubs to utilize their outdoor dining areas day and night, all year long. Within your workplace or business, RADtec can provide heating for designated outdoor smoking and leisure areas, as well as for workstation spot heating in factories, warehouses, and showrooms. Within your home, RADtec can provide comfort heating for covered alfresco dining and BBQ areas, patios, verandas, courtyards, and balconies.

Subtle, Slimline, No-Glow design

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

Efficient cost effective electric heating

The innovative design of the RADtec radiant heater enables comfortable and even heat dispersion from the surfaces with minimal operating costs.

Design flexibility

Three RADtec models are available, ensuring the heating requirements of any outdoor or indoor area is possible. Brackets for direct ceiling/wall mounting are supplied with the unit.

Virtually maintenance-free

The RADtec radiant heater incorporates no internal moving parts, ensuring quiet and virtually maintenance-free operation.

Easy to use

The standard RADtec radiant heater is controlled with a simple on/off operation, and is either plugged directly into a power supply, or hard-wired via a wall mounted on/off switch. The unit takes approximately 10 minutes to heat up to maximum temperature and about 30 minutes to cool down, depending upon the ambient temperature. The higher end units come supplied with a remote control and a timed automatic shut-off function, giving you the convenience of remote operation.

Environmentally Friendly

RADtec radiant heaters have no byproducts such as carbon or gas while operating.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

Coverage Area Table

Comfortable:

No wind, light or odor produced while operating this product. Indoor air remains free of floating dust or allergens as a result.

Energy-Saving:

Heat generated efficiently with low-power input. Controlling temperature in this manner allows you to save power and energy. Heating elements have a useful life of at least 20,000 hours of operation.

Physical Therapy:

Heat therapy is most commonly used for rehabilitation purposes. The therapeutic effects of heat include increasing the extensibility of collagen tissues; decreasing joint stiffness; reducing pain; relieving muscle spasms; reducing inflammation and increasing blood flow. The increased blood flow to the affected area provides proteins, nutrients, and oxygen for better healing. Infrared heating technology is a convenient way to heat parts of our body. It has the advantage over direct-contact in that radiant energy can heat directly the area where the blood capillaries and neuron terminals are. When the heat comes from a direct contact source, it has to heat the external layer of the skin, and heat is transferred to the deeper layer by conduction.

INSPECTION ITEMS AFTER INSTALLATION

ATTENTION

Due to thermal expansion and contraction, the heater will make noise when turning on and off. The is a normal phenomenon and will not affect unit performance.

STARTING HEATER FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Do not turn on power before finishing all installation work.
2. Make sure all wired connections are correct and firm.
3. All objects must be removed from heater vicinity.
4. Power-up heater and observe working status.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not use the same power outlet together with other appliances. Doing so may cause current overload.
2. Stop power supply immediately if heater fails or if wires are broken. Users should not repair heaters themselves. Contact authorized servicer if heater fails.
