Information about the device

Device description

The convector TCH 1510 E / 2510 E is used to generate warm air for interior spaces.
The device generates heat by means of an electric heating element. The air surrounding the heating element is heated. The heated air rises through the air outlet and thus creates a natural suction that makes the cold room air flow into the device.
The device is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor which controls the heating depending on the current and the desired room temperature.
The appliance is also equipped with a child lock which prevents access to the control panel by means of a lock.
Via the control panel you can set a target temperature value between 0 °C and 50 °C.
The device can be positioned firmly in the room by means of the feet. In addition, the device can alternatively be mounted on the wall.
The functioning of the two devices is identical, the devices differ in heating capacity and dimensions.
