1.0 About your HotZONETM HeatProjector
Congratulations on your purchase of a revolutionary HotZONETM HeatProjector from Radiant Op-
tics. The HeatProjector line of electric infrared heaters are the most efficient spot heaters on the
market today – and not by just a little bit. Our high efficiency heat “projector” is made possible by
the combination of two proprietary and innovative features. Infrared heat is generated with our
unique Inverted Cone IR element and focused using our precision Compound Reflective Lens.
These act to generate, collect, and concentrate heat rays into a beam that can be pointed at a tar-
get area.
This model e7500 delivers the equivalent energy of a 7500w non-lensed heater with only 1500w
input.
HeatProjectors are very low cost to run, have a smaller carbon footprint and can deliver a beam of
heat to a target over a longer distance and with a defined edge between the heated and unheated
areas.
Visit www.radiantoptics.com for more information about mounted HeatProjectors and replace-
ment elements.

jacent walls and other surrounding objects to the sides, top and back of the heater.

ti-tilt switch can de-energize the unit if the head is tilted too low of too high. The anti-tilt
switch will automatically reset once the heater head is returned to its proper operating po-
sition.
7. Turn the heater on using the on/off toggle switch.
8. Use sand bags as necessary to prevent the unit from tipping over.
9. Disconnect heater from power and allow the heater head to cool before putting it away or
disassembling the heater/stand.
