Radiant footprint
HEATSTRIP
®
electric heaters 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 to the left shows the radiant footprint of
HEATSTRIP
®
Classic, 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 if
possible, positioning the heater directly above
the area to be heated.
Also, the temperature (ie. surface temperature)
is the same for all 4 models, regardless of the
wattage. However, as the size increases and
the length of the unit increases, the radiant
footprint will be larger.
The below diagrams show the approximate heating area for each model, based on both an indoor and outdoor enclosed
environment, with direct overhead mounting.
Radiant footprint is reduced in angled, wall mounted applications.
