MOUNTING POSITION:
Diagram 1: STAR heated area and applications
Heating area 18m²-21m²
Mediumwave Infrared
heat is characterised by a
strong central beam that
dissipates to a gentler
intensity
heated area
outside the central beam.
The zone heated by STAR will
increase in size the higher
the heater is installed from
the floor, but the warmth
experienced
from the
heater will be lower.
The mounting height and
intensity should reflect
the intended use of the
heater.
Mount the heater at a
lower height in areas
intended for low physical
activity (for example a
seating area) or areas
subject to stronger airflow
(outside or near open
doors).
Mount STAR higher where
less intense warmth is
needed
(for example
warehouses where workers
are active or wear warm
clothing).
For permanent installation
(i.e. not using a stand), the
STAR must be located in a
position to allow proper
and efficient use but one
that ensures hot parts are
not touched accidental
The recommended installation height of the STAR is 2.4m to 3.5m (95”-138”) from the floor.
IMPORTANT: DO not mount STAR below 2.4m if any kind of automated on/off controller is to be used
Under no circumstances is the STAR to be installed at less than 1.8m (71”) from the floor. Consideration should be
given to any temporary or occasional additions such as stages or platforms and adjusted accordingly. For outdoor
use, or other areas with air movement/wind the directional Infrared spread may reduce by 1/3 to 1/2.
Wall/ceiling mount swivel brackets are provided with the heater which has been specifically designed to allow this
product to be fitted to a wall or ceiling with adequate clearances at the back of the unit. Do not mount the heater
with any other bracket except those provided. The sides and ends of the heater must always be at least 500mm
(19.6”) away from the nearest wall, ceiling or other structure.
