Product Overview
Why choose THERMASTRIP 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 patio 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 infrared waves. Whilst
convection heaters heat the air in between objects, radiant heaters heat the
surface of the objects themselves.
THERMASTRIP 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.
Discrete, stylish heating for undercover outdoor and indoor open areas
Using the radiant heating principle, THERMASTRIP can provide effective and
energy-efficient comfort heating for undercover outdoor and indoor open areas.
THERMASTRIP has successfully enabled many entertainment venues such as
restaurants, pubs, and clubs to utilize their outdoor dining areas day and
night, through all seasons. Within your workplace or business, THERMASTRIP 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, THERMASTRIP can provide comfort heating for undercover
alfresco dining and BBQ areas, patios, verandas, courtyards, and balconies.
Subtle, minimalist design
The stylish, slimline black face of the THERMASTRIP does not emit light or
glow when in use, blending elegantly into your décor. Ceiling, wall and
umbrella mounting options ensure that your valuable floor and table space is
not wasted.

rear casing.
Easy to use
The standard THERMASTRIP is controlled by a simple on/off operation, either
when plugged directly into a power point, or hard-wired via a wall mounted
on/off switch. The unit takes approximately 15 minutes to heat up to the
maximum temperature and approximately 30 minutes to cool down, depending upon
the ambient temperature. Please don’t forget to turn it off. We recommend
installing your THERMASTRIP with a timer controller to ensure the unit is
turned off after a pre-set time.

Spot Heating Principle
In most outdoor or difficult-to-heat indoor applications, therefore are 2
options when looking at the size and quantity of the heater required. Option 1
is to comfort heat the entire area based on the total dimensions of the space,
regarding whether the entire area is being fully occupied. Option 2 is to spot
heat the high-use areas, such as over outdoor tables, BBQs, lounges, assembly
lines, or indoor workstations.
Often it is more practical and efficient to spot heat in these areas. Spot
heating will help to reduce the initial capital cost, as well as the 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 table shows a comparison between spot heating over a table or heating
an entire area.
The bottom table shows the flexibility of using THERMASTRIP to provide a
comfortable environment, even when the layout of the area is very unusual.
Radiant Footprint
THERMASTRIP electric heaters produce radiant heat which heats objects rather than the air. Therefore, it is imperative that objects to be heated (ie. people), are within the direct radiant footprint of the heater. The diagram to the right shows the radiant footprint of THERMASTRIP and is an approximate guide based on a fully enclosed, outdoor environment. This diagram shows that the maximum heat output is found directly under the heater, and the temperature decreases as you move away from the heater. It highlights the importance of maintaining recommended mounting heights, and if possible, positioning the heater directly above the area to be heated. Also, the temperature (ie. surface temperature) is the same for all 4 models, regardless of the wattage. However, as the size increases and the length of the unit increases, the radiant footprint will be larger.
The below diagrams show the approximate heating area for each model, based on both an indoor and outdoor enclosed environment, with direct overhead mounting. The radiant footprint is reduced in angled, wall-mounted applications.
Table Layout
For the majority of outdoor applications, the most effective method is to spot heat on a table or similar area. The below diagrams provide an easy selection guide for the approximate model and quantity of heaters required to heat common residential table settings. Selections are based on THERMASTRIP being mounted at 2.4m from the floor and an undercover fully enclosed outdoor area.
Installation Requirements
The ideal mounting position for the THERMASTRIP is on the ceiling, directly
above the area to be heated. If this is not possible, THERMASTRIP can be
mounted on a wall and angled downwards. In this situation, ensure the mounting
height is in the range of 2.1m to 2.7m and the table is within 2.5m of the
wall.
For mounting heights more than 2.7m, we recommend the use of optional
accessories to reduce the height of the heater to 2.3m—2.5 m. This will
increase the effectiveness of your THERMASTRIP. Refer to the Mounting
Accessory section for more information.
Electrical connections/GPOs 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.
If the heater is to be mounted on an incline (e.g. Vaulted ceiling), ensure
the electrical connection is located at the lowest point of the heater.
Installation location — the below diagrams confirm the minimum recommended clearances.
Mounting Options
The installation of THERMASTRIP is simple and easy with the standard mounting brackets supplied. For other more challenging locations, there are a range of mounting options available – refer to the below diagrams. The THERMASTRIP can be mounted directly to the ceiling, angled downwards on a wall; attached to a beam/pole; extension mounting bracket or suspension mounting bracket. Refer to the following pages for more detailed information on each mounting option.
Standard Mounting Brackets
The THERMASTRIP comes with a pair of standard mounting brackets. These adjustable brackets allow direct ceiling or wall mount and come with preset angle options of parallel, 22.5°, and 45°
Pole/Beam Mounting Kit
Screws for connection to the beam or pole are not included.
Minimum pole diameter 20mm.
Maximum pole diameter 70mm.
This mounting option is suitable for umbrella struts.
The beam/pole can be placed directly on top of the mounting bracket. No
clearance is required from the top bracket to the bottom of the beam/pole.

The optional Pole/Beam mounting bracket kit can be used to mount THERMASTRIP onto wooden beams, rafters, poles, umbrellas struts, etc.
Suspension Mount Bracket
The optional Suspension Mount bracket provides an easy and effective option
for lowering the THERMASTRIP from high ceilings.
If the ceiling height is more than 2.7m is an enclosed outdoor environment or
2.5m in an exposed site, it is recommended to lower the heaters to an ideal
mounting height of 2.3m—2.5m. The bracket is designed to be used with chains
or wires.
There can be multiple chain/wire arrangement options, as per the below
diagram.
Note: Suspension chains/wires are not supplied with the suspension mounting bracket.

THERMASTRIP Wall Controller
The THERMASTRIP can be controlled via a simple on/off wall-mounted switch, however, it is recommended to use a controller with a variable heat modulator and a timer, to give the best performance and lowest running cost.
SKU 200064 wall controller
This optional wall controller is a custom-designed and manufactured controller
for THERMASTRIP. It has been designed for ease of use and low running costs of
your heater. It provides both temperature control (allowing the user to turn
the heat output up or down depending on the ambient temperature and
conditions) and a timer for automatic heater operation. The countdown timer
function has four settings. It can be 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours or
constantly on. This is ideal when continuous heat is not required. For example
a BBQ, alfresco areas, restaurant dining, assembly line production, etc. It is
simple to use, just press the time button and it will switch on, press again
and it will be 1 hour. After one hour the heater will switch off. Depending on
the ambient temperature, there may be a requirement to control the operation
of the heater (standard on position is at full power and temperature). The
controller has 3 settings, they are High, Medium, and Low. The controller
allows a combination of multiple timers (1/2/4 hour) and heat outputs
(High/Medium/Low). The default operation is continuous operation at full
temperature.
Controlling multiple units
It is possible to use one wall controller to control multiple heaters.
The wall controller is rated at 15 Amps and 240 volts.
For the larger current draw, it is recommended that you talk to your
electrician who can use a time delay relay to connect more units.
The controller needs a minimum of 250W on the load before it starts working.
If connecting multiple units ensure one unit is connected directly to the
controller and the others are connected using a contactor or relay.
Thermostat controllers
Thermostat controllers are NOT recommended. The temperature sensor for this
type of controller is usually measured by the air temperature. The THERMASTRIP
is a radiant heater where objects are heated, not the air. In open indoor or
outdoor areas, it is very difficult to contain warm air within the space and
therefore accurately measure air temperature. This may result in the
unnecessary, continuous operation of the unit.
Dimmers
The use of dimmers with the THERMASTRIP is NOT recommended. Please refer to
the Product Installation Manual for more detailed product data.

Maintenance
The THERMASTRIP is made from durable materials, however regular care and
maintenance of your heater will help prolong its life of the heater.
Always ensure the power is OFF and the fitting has cooled down before
performing any maintenance, cleaning, or making adjustments to 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 detergent to remove the built-up
contaminants from the environment. Then rinse all detergent off the heater.
Do not use high-pressure water to clean heaters, light water spray only.
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 e.g. salt spray, we recommend 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.
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 surface of the heater.
Do not use high-pressure water to clean heaters, light water spray only.
Heater Wiring Schematic Diagrams
The THERMASTRIP heater is required to be fitted with an isolation switch. For units with a plug (200060, 200061, 200062), they can be installed into a mains power socket outlet. Check the installation location in the ceiling has access to a socket outlet which is connected to a wall switch. If it does not please contact a licensed electrician to arrange the installation of the socket outlet, wall switch, and isolation switch. It is recommended to use SKU 200064 (not included) Wall Controller for maximum performance and control options. Ensure the unit is turned OFF after every use.
For direct wiring to the controller, the maximum is one heater unit unless it
is two of SKUs 200060.
For multiple units from one wall controller, it is recommended to talk to your
electrician who will use a relay or contactor.
