Innovative, High Performance Electric Heating Technology

Features & Benefits

High Output radiant heat
HEATSTRIP® Enhance 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® Enhance 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® Enhance 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® Enhance 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 THG2200BA is supplied with a lead and plug, and is therefore ideal for DIY installations with brackets included. The THG3200BA 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.

1. 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.
2. 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® Enhance 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.

Radiant footprint
HEATSTRIP® 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 left shows the radiant footprint of HEATSTRIP® Enhance (THG-BA), 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.

Note that the temperature is the same for all 2 models, regardless of the wattage. However, as the size increases and the length of the unit increases, the radiant footprint will be longer.
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 installations.

Selection guide

General recommendations for HEATSTRIP® Enhance THG-BA):

• 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® Enhance (THG-BA) 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.

• 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 Enhance (THG-BA) being mounted at 2.4m from the floor in a fully enclosed undercover outdoorarea.
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.

Installation Requirements

The ideal mounting position for the HEATSTRIP® Enhance with remote & app control is on the ceiling, directly above the area to be heated. If this is not possible, HEATSTRIP® Enhance (THG-BA) 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® Enhance is not suitable for mounting on an incline, along the length.

Installation location — the below diagrams confirm the minimum recommended clearances.

Mounting options

The installation of HEATSTRIP® Enhance with remote and app (THG-BA) 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 below diagrams.
The HEATSTRIP® Enhance with remote & app control can be mounted directly to the ceiling, flush mounted into the ceiling, angled downwards on a wall, suspended on chains, poles or attached to beams and rafters. Refer to the following pages for more detailed information on each mounting option.

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.

Left: Suspension mounting, using the standard mounting brackets

NOTE: Chains or wire not included

Flush Mount Enclosure

The Flush Mount Enclosure is an ideal way to neatly install the HEATSTRIP® Enhance with Remote & App heater into a ceiling. They are available for both HEATSTRIP® Enhance heater sizes and are supplied as a one-piece unit for mounting of heaters. Flush mounting can be used with plaster or wood lined ceiling materials.
An ideal mounting height is 2.4m – 2.7m, with a maximum ceiling height of 3m in an outdoor environment. Maximum mounting heights should be strictly followed, otherwise the performance of the units may be reduced.
The facia of the enclosure is manufactured from 316 Stainless Steel and powder coated black and the rear casing is black zinc coated steel.
