3. WORKING PARAMETERS

Operation principle

The infrared heater is an appliance with an electric heating element and

radiating boards, which upon heating emit heat to the environment via

directed infrared radiation. Radiant energy is absorbed by the surrounding

surfaces and it heats them being transformed to thermal energy.
Surface temperature of objects can be different depending on their

absorbing properties (surface color, material), incidence angle of infrared

beams, surface shape and area. Surfaces also release some heat to air.

At that, heated air flows up to the ceiling and gradually cools down. As

a result, air temperature at the head level of a standing person appears

below the floor temperature by 1-2 °C.

main features

1. Significant economic effect as compared to convectional heating, where

heat is significantly consumed for heating of unused roof space (first, air

is heated throughout the room volume, and then air heats objects and

surfaces in the room).
2. Capability of local heating only for those areas in the room, where it is

necessary, without heating of the whole room volume.
3. Low air temperature in the room at comfortable temperature on surfaces

of objects, floor, and walls creates the freshness effect air is not dried up.
4. Low convection (thermal movement of air volumes) reduces amount of

dust kicked up from the floor.
5. High protection class of the device (IP65) allows to apply the device in

10. The heater should be connected to the electric mains equipped with an

automatic circuit breaker.
11. If you plan to use the device in the bathroom or rooms with high humidity,

it must be installed so that the user could not touch the appliance, including

by accident. The device should not be exposed directly to water stream or

direct ingress of moisture on the instrument housing.
12. Never try to repair the heater yourself. This may inflict harm to your

health and affect the warranty service of the appliance.
13. Do not use this device in the place of permanent location of the animals

or plants.
14. It is prohibited to use a heater near inflammable, easily deformable

items and/or substances.
15. Exclude operation of the heater without grounding.
16. Do not leave the appliance unattended during its operation.
17. Throughout enable and use the heater with the removed elements of

the enclosure.
18. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. A

damaged power cord must be replaced by an authorized service center

for the manufacturer.
19. It is prohibited to use the heater in dusty rooms and during redecoration.
20. During operation of the device is forbidden to touch the case and its

protective grille.
21. Use the heater only as described in this Manual. Any other use not

recommended by the manufacturer may lead to fire, electric shock, or

injuries of people.
22. Never clean the heater, when it is connected to the electric mains, and

do not wipe the heater radiating boards with flammable liquids during its

operation.
23. For normal operation of the heater, the mains voltage should be

sufficient and the mains specifications should strictly correspond to the

technical parameters indicated on the appliance body. If necessary, clarify

the specifications of your mains from the electricity supplier.
24. Install and operate the heater with horizontal arrangement of a

longitudinal axis on the ceiling, ceiling constructions, wall. The thermal

resistance of the material shall be not less than 80 °C.
25. It is prohibited to install the appliance in immediate proximity to an electric

socket. This may result in its overheating causing an emergency situation.
26. The appliance is not designed for use by people (including children)

with limited physical, sensory, or mental capabilities and having insufficient
