• NOTE: Mounting height should not be less than 6′ (1.8m) if the heater is labeled as UL Listed and 8′ (2.4m) if the heater is labeled as CUL Listed.
• Indoor or well-protected environments will generally exceed the average.
• Heaters can provide less-than-average coverage in extremely cold/windy conditions.

GENERAL NOTES

• INFRATECH QUARTZ TUBE ELECTRIC HEATERS are furnished with multi-position wall/ceiling mount brackets.
• See sales literature and price list for a full listing of models, descriptions, amperages, and voltages. At times, especially when the mounting height might be quite low, an increased number of smaller heaters can help prevent overheating.
• Heaters up to 15 AMPS can be controlled with a simple INF Input Regulator. This low-cost controller, which is an infinite switch, gently pulses the heat on and off at regular intervals when not on full power.
• Dual Element Heaters can be wired with our Duplex/Stack Switch, which enables the ability to turn on and off each element independently, providing for half power/full power capabilities.
• For ideal comfort heat, the best solution is to heat from two sides rather than from just one side. However, there are times when this is not practical.
• Coverage areas are approximate dimensions and will vary depending on prevailing and personal comfort levels.
• Indoor or well-protected environments will generally exceed average (see charts). Heaters can provide less-than-average coverage in extremely cold/windy conditions.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

• Before performing any maintenance, the power must be disconnected and the heater cool to the touch.
• Heater housing, reflectors, and heating elements can be rinsed with a hose or wiped down with isopropyl alcohol, acetone, or glass cleaner.
• Use a clean, scratch-free rag or paper towel.
• Any oxidation, surface rust, or discoloration can be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or metal polish on the bare metal surface.
• Make sure all water, solvents, or cleaners are removed and the heater is dry before reconnecting the power.

TROUBLESHOOTING

LOCATION SUGGESTIONS

Unless heaters are installed over 12′ (3.7m) high, it is generally recommended that all radiant heaters be mounted on an angle to ensure that radiant warmth is distributed from the sides rather than straight down on the heads and shoulders of the people being warmed.

RECOMMENDED POSITIONING

• Angle fixture 30º to 60º from horizontal face down. The best angle is approximately 45º.

INSTALLATION DIRECTION

• Install a fixture to heat the area from the “cold side” if possible.
• This helps compensate for increased body heat losses due to exposure.
• Warm floors reradiate heat.
• Warmer air rises from the floor.
• Some heat reflects from the floor. Mounting a heater directly over a table or other obstruction will block the energy, primarily heating the object.
• It is best to move the heater to the side, allowing complete body and floor coverage.

OUTDOORS

• When outdoors, hang the heater under the protective roof or weather cover whenever possible.
• Even though the heater is all-weather construction, it will last longer and look better if it is protected from rain and snow.
