Information about the device
Device description
The device is used to quickly generate instant heat.
The device is based on the functional principle of heat
generation by infrared radiation. The infrared radiation is
generated by a carbon heating element and emitted to the
surrounding surfaces as heat radiation. Persons or objects are
heated directly.
The 3heating levels can be selected using the remote control.
• suitable for the application in roofed outdoor areas
• for ceiling installation
• silent operation
• no dust circulation (suitable for allergy sufferers)
The three devices differ in terms of their technical data and
design. Later in the operating manual, the device IR 1500 SC is
depicted as an example.
