HEATSTRIP THB-BA Intense Outdoor Electric Radiant Heater

Innovative, High Performance Electric Heating Technology

Features & Benefits

High Output radiant heat

  • HEATSTRIP® Intense with remote & app control 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 with remote & app control 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 with remote & app control 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 with remote & app control 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 THB2200BA is supplied with a lead and plug, and is therefore ideal for DIY installations with brackets included. The THB3200BA must be installed by a licensed electrician.

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 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 with remote & app control is recommended to be used directly over a table, while the bottom diagram indicates how to spot heat a large area.HEATSTRIP-THB-BA-Intense-Outdoor-Electric-Radiant-Heater-fig-2

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. Above data is based on direct overhead ceiling mounting. If the heaters are wall mounted, the radiant footprint may be reduced.
  • The below diagrams show the approximate heating area for each model, based on both an indoor protected, outdoor enclosed and outdoor exposed location.

Table Layout

General recommendations for HEATSTRIP® Intense with Remote & App Control:

  • 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)
  • For the majority of outdoor applications, the most effective method is to spot heat a table or similar area. The diagrams below provides an easy selection guide for the approximate model and quantity of heaters required to heat common residential table settings
  • Selection are based on HEATSTRIP Intense being mounted at 2.4m from the floor in a fully enclosed undercover outdoor area.
  • Above data is based on direct overhead ceiling mounting. If the heaters are wall mounted, the radiant footprint may be reduced.
  • The below diagrams show the approximate heating area for each model, based on both an indoor protected, outdoor enclosed and outdoor exposed location.HEATSTRIP-THB-BA-Intense-Outdoor-Electric-Radiant-Heater-fig-3

Installation Requirements

  • The ideal mounting position for the HEATSTRIP® Intense with remote & app control is on the ceiling, directly above the area to be heated. If this is not possible,
  • HEATSTRIP® Intense with remote & app control 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.HEATSTRIP-THB-BA-Intense-Outdoor-Electric-Radiant-Heater-

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.

Battery Warnings and information requirements

  • The Consumer Goods (Products Containing Button/Coin Batteries) Information Standard 2020 sets out the requirements for warnings that must be provided on consumer goods that contain a button/coin battery. In addition to mandatory requirements for warnings, this information standard also includes best practice recommendations for additional safety information to include when supplying consumer goods that contain a button/coin battery.

  • Warnings are necessary when supplying consumer goods containing button/coin batteries to:

  • alert consumers to the button/coin battery hazard

  • provide relevant information so that appropriate action can be taken when it is suspected that a child has swallowed or inserted a button/coin battery.
    Size, durability and colour of warnings

  • Warnings provided on products, packaging and instructions should be designed to comply with the design principles for warnings, including size, legibility and durability.

  • The standard ISO 3864-2:2004 – Graphical Symbols – Safety Colours and Safety Signs – Part 2: Design Principles for Product Safety Labels contains infor-mation about product safety label design. This standard includes examples of alert words, examples of graphical alerts and warnings, and safety label develop-ment considerations, including with respect to colour, size, legibility and durability.

  • Compliant warnings may take numerous forms, however, for reference, an example of an internationally recognised safety alert symbol, which is in a form which meets the requirements of the Standards, is:

  • The safety alert symbol example aligns with the safety colour recommended for warning symbols in the voluntary industry standard ISO 3864-2:2016 Graphical symbols – Safety colours and safety signs – Part 2: Design principles for product safety labels.

  • While not mandatory, the use of colour in safety signs is considered best practice as this helps to draw attention rapidly to objects and situations affecting safety and health and to gain swift understanding of a specific message.

Unpackaged goods

  • Where consumer goods are unpackaged, all warnings and information listed in table 4 must be attached to the product, which may be by way of a sticker or a swing tag.

Lower risk products

  • Some categories of consumer goods that contain button/coin batteries pose a lower risk in terms of battery accessibility and more flexible warning requirements apply.
  • Consumer goods that are deemed to pose a lower risk include:
  • hearing aids and associated hearing instruments/accessories
  • where the button/coin battery is not intended to be removed or replaced by a consumer
  • where a specialist is required to install or remove the button/coin battery
  • where the button/coin battery is fully enclosed in the product and is not accessible to the consumer.
  • Products, where the button/coin battery is fully enclosed, include personal computers. This category does not include products where the battery is intended to be replaced and is housed in a secure compartment.
  • For lower-risk products, the warning content in Table 4 can be provided in the accompanying instructions.
  • If a consumer good falls within a category that is deemed to pose a lower risk and is not accompanied by instructions, the warning must be attached to, or included with, the consumer good.

Exemptions from warning requirements

  • The Consumer Goods (Products Containing Button/Coin Batteries) Information Standard 2020 includes exemptions from warning requirements for the following products:
  • Second-hand consumer goods – that is, consumer goods that were first supplied before the requirements of the instrument become mandatory.
  • Audio-visual and information and communications technology equipment containing button/coin batteries that are soldered in place such as personal computers, electronic musical instruments, smartphones, cash registers, calculators and copying machines.
  • Professional equipment – that is, equipment to which all of the following applies:
  • The equipment is intended to be used in trades, professions or industries.
  • The equipment is not intended for sale to the general public.
  • The equipment is not intended to be used where children are present.
  • Note: Suppliers should be aware that the criteria for professional equipment’ listed above does not necessarily align with the definition of ‘professional equipment’ or ‘professional apparatus’ in existing industry standards. Suppliers will only be eligible for the professional equipment exemption where each of the above criteria is satisfied.

Warnings and information recommendations

  • The Consumer Goods (Products Containing Button/Coin Batteries) Information Standard 2020 also contains the following best practice recommendations. While not mandatory, the ACCC encourages suppliers to comply with these best practice recommendations in the interests of making consumers as aware as possible of the button/coin battery hazard.

Warnings on products

  • It is recommended that consumer goods that contain a button/coin battery also include a warning on the product itself located on or close to where the battery is accessible. A warning attached to the product is considered best practice as it provides ongoing awareness of the button/coin battery hazard over the lifetime of the product. This is recommended in addition to warnings on packaging and instructions as these are often disposed of once the product has been purchased

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 hose down the heater and with a soft cloth gently wipe the surfaces of the heater with a mild de-tergent 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 recom-mend 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 sur-face of the heater.
  • Do not use high pressure water to clean heaters, light water spray only.
