Ducoterra Radiant Heating Panel Installation Manual
1. Introduction
Your new radiant heating panels are designed to heat living and working spaces rapidly and efficiently
by radiant heating. Like the sun, these panels will create a warm environment rapidly for all objects
within line of sight of the panel surface. They are designed to be surface mounted on ceilings or for
installation in a T-bar grid.
2. Installation Layout Guidelines
In a standard 8’ ceiling room, these heating panels will cover approximately 10 times the floor square
footage as panel size (e.g. a 2x4 panel will cover approximately 80 square feet of floor space). They
may be installed at zero clearance to adjoining walls and adjacent panels, but optimal coverage is
obtained by spacing the panels to cover the floor space efficiently.
As maximum panel efficiency is obtained within at 45-degree angle of the panels, spacing panels 2’ off
walls and approximately 4’ from other panels will generally cover a room sufficiently. Panels may need
to be positioned differently depending on specific room configurations, insulation, heating
requirements, and other factors.
3. Environment Insulation Requirements
For proper functionality, the heated space should be insulated appropriately. Optimal panel operation
is achieved if walls and ceilings are insulated according to ASHRAE 189 standards in accordance with
your local climate zone. Heating panel connection box must not be covered with insulation material
after installation to allow for inspection. Heating panel itself has an insulation value of R-5.
4. Wiring Requirements and Guidelines
Heating panel has two 10” 12 AWG leads for connecting to standard #12 power supply with wire nuts
inside the attached connection box. See appropriate wiring diagrams for details (Fig 3).
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death, disconnect all
electrical power before installing or performing maintenance on this panel.
The wiring, installation, and electrical hookup of this panel must conform to local and national codes.
Total wattage of heating panels per circuit must not exceed 80% of circuit capacity. Panels should be
installed in conjunction with a line voltage or 24V thermostat. Measure voltage and branch circuit
amperage to determine wattage and panel circuit load.
CAUTION: Wiring procedures and connections shall be in accordance with the national and
local codes having jurisdiction.
WARNING: Panel must NOT be wired to higher voltage than label voltage

Heating Panel Operation
Ensure panels have been properly installed prior to operation. Radiant heat ceiling panels function best in a
zone heating configuration. Use a programmable thermostat to apply appropriate setbacks to spaces that are
unoccupied. Optimal comfort with a radiant system is typically obtained at air temperatures of around 60-62F.
It is recommended that the panels are dusted & cleaned with a damp cloth every 6 months. Do not use harsh
cleaners or abrasives or damage to panel surface may result. Do not lubricate. Make sure to disconnect power
to panels at breaker box before cleaning, and allow panel to reach room temperature.
Heater may be stored when not in use in a cool, dry location.
Panel contains no user serviceable parts and opening the heating unit will void the warranty.
