Why choose HEATSTRIP® electric radiant heaters for your outdoor or hard-to-heat indoor
area?
Many conventional patio heaters rely on convection heating which works by heating the surrounding air to provide comfort.
This can be quite impractical for outdoor and open-indoor areas as there is typically constant air movement which can
easily blow away the warmed air. Radiant style heaters transfer heat directly to objects through infra-red waves.
While convection heaters heat the air between objects, radiant heaters directly heat the surface of the objects themselves.
HEATSTRIP® electric radiant heaters are more effective within an outdoor or uninsulated indoor area because they
provide targeted warmth directly to the people and objects in their path.
Discrete, stylish heating for undercover outdoor and indoor open areas
Using the radiant heating principle, HEATSTRIP® can provide effective and energy efficient comfort heating for undercover
outdoor and indoor open areas. HEATSTRIP® has successfully enabled many entertainment venues such as restaurants,
pubs and clubs to utilise their outdoor dining areas day and night, through all seasons. Within your workplace or business,
HEATSTRIP® can provide comfort heating for designated outdoor smoking and leisure areas, as well as for workstation
spot heating in factories, warehouses and showrooms. Within your home, HEATSTRIP® can provide comfort heating for
undercover alfresco dining and BBQ area, patios, verandas, courtyards and balconies.
Subtle, minimalist design
The stylish, slimline black face of the HEATSTRIP® does not emit light or glow when in use, blending elegantly into your
décor. Ceiling, wall and umbrella mounting options ensure that your valuable floor and table space is not wasted.
Efficient, cost effective electric heating
The innovative design of the HEATSTRIP® enables comfortable and even heat dispersion from the heater surface with
minimal operating costs.

Operating cost comparison
In many instances, patio heaters powered by gas bottles are used as an outdoor heating source. The below
table shows the operational cost comparison between HEATSTRIP® and mushroom—style bottled gas outdoor
heater. Not only are the hourly running costs considerably less with HEATSTRIP®, but you never have to worry
about running out of gas, no refilling, no unattractive gas bottle to waste space; and HEATSTRIP® actually im-
proves the value of your property.
Notes:
1. Calculations of hourly running cost for outdoor gas heater is based on $25.00 average to fill a 9kg gas bottle and
average running time of 9 hours. $25.00 / 9 hours = $2.78 per hour
2. Electricity rate of 25 cents/kWh
3. All calculations are excluding GST.
2.4kW x 0.20 cents = $0.60 cents per hour
3.2kW x 0.20 cents = $0.80 cents per hour
Calculations of yearly running cost are based on 180 hours usage
180 hours x $2.78 = $500.40 yearly running cost for outdoor gas heater
180 hours x $0.60 = $108 yearly running cost for 2400W HEATSTRIP®
180 hours x $0.80 cents = $144 yearly running cost for 3200W HEATSTRIP®

Spot heating principle
In most outdoor or difficult-to-heat indoor applications, there are 2 options when looking at the size and quantity
of the heaters required.
Option 1 is to comfort heat the entire area based on the total dimensions of the space, regardless of whether the
entire area is being fully occupied.
Option 2 is to spot heat the high use areas, such as over outdoor tables, BBQ’s, lounges, assembly lines or in-
door workstations.
Often it is more practical and efficient to spot heat high use areas. Spot heating will reduce both the initial capital
cost as well as the ongoing running costs. Spot heating will allow the area to be “zoned”, meaning only the areas
that are being used are heated, such as tables in a restaurant or outdoor alfresco area.
Option 1 and 2 show a comparison between heating an entire area or spot heating over a table.
The bottom layout shows the flexibility of using HEATSTRIP® to provide a comfortable environment, even when
the layout of the area is very unusual.
Option 1: 6 x THH2400AR Option 2: 2 x THH2400AR

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.
Note that the temperature is the same for the
2 models, regardless of the wattage.
However, as the size increases and the
length of the unit increases, the radiant
footprint will be longer.
The below diagrams show the approximate
heating area for each model, based on both an indoor and outdoor enclosed environment, with direct overhead mounting.
The radiant footprint is reduced in angled, wall mounted installations.

Selection guide
General recommendations for HEATSTRIP® Classic with remote:
• Ideal mounting height: 2.3m to 2.5m. Maximum is 2.7m in a fully protected/enclosed outdoor environment.
• Ideal mounting location: ceiling mounted, directly above area to be heated (eg. above a table)
• Based on the radiant footprint of the previous page, for a protected outdoor area, a minimum of 500W/m2 is re-
quired. For indoor spot heating, a minimum heating capacity of 400W/m2 is recommended.
The table below outlines the coverage of each HEATSTRIP® Classic with remote model based on 3 different
scenarios with direct overhead mounting. For example, for an outdoor area that is protected from prevailing winds by
walls, café blinds etc, Model THH2400AR will cover 4.8m2 and Model THH3200AR will cover 6.4m2
For angled wall mounting applications, the coverage is reduced by up to 40%.

Installation Requirements
The ideal mounting position for the HEATSTRIP® Classic with remote is on the ceiling directly above the area to be
heated. If this is not possible, HEATSTRIP® can be mounted on a wall and angled downwards. In this situation, ensure the
mounting height is in the range of 2.1m to 2.7m and the table is within 2.5m of the wall.
For mounting heights more than 2.7m, we recommend the use of the optional accessories to reduce the height of the
heater to 2.3m—2.5 m. This will increase the effectiveness of your HEATSTRIP®. Refer to the Mounting Accessory section
for more information.
Electrical connections/GPO’s should not be located at the back of the heater. They should be located outside the physical
footprint of the units to minimize heat build-up behind the units.
If the heater is to be mounted on an incline (e.g. vaulted ceiling), ensure the electrical connection is located at the lowest
point of the heater.
