Radiant footprint
HEATSTRIP
®
electric heater produce radiant heat, which heats objects rather than the air. Therefore, it is imperative that
objects to be heated (ie. People), are within the direct radiant footprint of the heater.
The diagram below shows the radiant footprint of HEATSTRIP
®
Max, and is an approximate guide based on a fully
enclosed, outdoor environment.
This diagram shows that the maximum heat output is found directly under the heater, and the temperature decreases as
you move away from the heater.
It highlights the importance of maintaining recommended mounting heights, and positioning the heater directly above the
area to be heated, if possible.
Also, the temperature (ie. surface temperature) is the same for both models, regardless of the wattage. However, the size
increases and the length of the unit increases, the radiant footprint will be larger.
