DX2 

Series

Factory recommended mounting heights are listed as a guideline. If infrared heaters are mounted too low 
or too high, they may result in discomfort or lack of heat. Detroit Radiant Products Company generally 
recommends observing the recommended mounting heights to optimize comfort conditions. However, 
certain applications such as spot heating, freeze protection, outdoor patio heating or very high ceilings 
may result in the heaters being mounted outside of the factory recommended mounting heights.
