Page 2: Product Overview
Product Overview Rev A June 20 ® Why choose HEATSTRIP electric radiant heaters for your outdoor or hard-to-heat indoor area? As there is typically constant air movement in an outdoor or open indoor area, many conventional heaters rely on convection heating which works by heating the surrounding air. This can be quite impractical for these areas, as this heated air can easily blow away with natural air movement. - Page 3 Maximum heat performance – multiple applications The high temperature output of the HEATSTRIP Max-DC is perfect for exposed outdoor sites, high ceilings and hard-to- heat indoor and outdoor applications. The dual element design allows for a very compact unit, and maximum efficiency. Outdoor applications include al-fresco and dining/entertainment areas, patios, veranda's and balconies, to name a few.

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 or not.

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-DC, and is an approximate guide based on a fully enclosed, outdoor environment.
