CONGRATULATIONS WITH YOUR PURCHASE OF...
your Degree-n infrared hea�ng panel (IR) and thank you for your trust in our
product. You have chosen for a high quality and energy efficient infrared
hea�ng panel, produced in The Netherlands and provided with the required
quality marks for the European market.
In order to get the most out of this product in terms of comfort and use, we
recommend that you read this manual carefully and keep it for as long as you
use the product.

HOW DOES INFRARED HEATING WORKS

IR hea�ng works in a different way than the well-known central hea�ng systems.
A central hea�ng system heats up the air, a�er which the air heats up the objects
and people in the room. Since air retains warmth very poorly, this is a very
inefficient way of hea�ng. IR heats the objects and people in the room by
radia�ng them directly. The infrared radia�on is similar to the radia�on of the
sun and that keeps us warm and is harmless to humans.
Objects retain heat 3-5 �mes longer than air, making an IR hea�ng panel a more
efficient hea�ng system. With IR hea�ng it is important to place the IR panels at
the loca�ons where the warmth is required.
By using IR hea�ng, so-called microclimates are built, where the air temperature
can be set 2-3 degrees lower than when using a central hea�ng system.
At the loca�ons where the IR panels are placed, the hea�ng of the objects
creates a pleasant climate.

MOUNTING THE PANEL

The panels can be mounted in 3 different ways, using the supplied brackets,
using the op�onal moun�ng plate or using neodymium magnets. Please make
sure that the surface on which the panel will be mounted is vibra�on-free.
If not, the panel may come off.

Mouning with the supplied brackets

Step 1: check that all moun�ng parts are present.

Step 2: determine the desired posi�on of the IR hea�ng panel on the ceiling or
4 stuks
wall. Take into account that the hea�ng:
2 stuks
- has a radia�on angle of 160 degrees
- has a direct radia�on distance up to 3 m
Step 3: determine the posi�on of the brackets
to be installed according to the following table:
Type A (mm)
W100
W200
W300
W400
B (mm) C (mm) D (mm) E (mm)
165 150 267 298
165 297 265 595
165 297 563 595
165 297 862 595
Two moun�ng brackets are required for ceiling moun�ng. When moun�ng
on the wall, one moun�ng bracket will suffice, but moun�ng with two moun�ng
brackets is recommended.
For ceiling moun�ng, make sure that the central openings in the brackets
face the same direc�on. When mounted on a wall, the central openings should
face the ceiling.
Step 4: mark the holes to be drilled using the hanging bracket as a template.
Make sure that the center of the circular recess matches the posi�ons as
measured from the data in step 3.
Step 5: Make sure the holes to be drilled are level or directly above or
next to each other.
Step 6: drill the holes with a 6 mm drill for a depth of at least 45 mm.
Keep in mind that you do not drill into exis�ng (hidden) pipework.
Step 7: Place the supplied wall plugs in the drilled holes and mount the
brackets with the supplied 40mm screws.
Step 8: if the IR hea�ng panel is placed over a flush-mounted box, you can
connect the power cable.
Please ensure the electricity is turned off before proceeding.
Step 9: Screw the aluminum "mushroom" in the back of the hea�ng panel
and align them just above (for wall moun�ng) or just before (for ceiling
moun�ng) the bracket and slide the "mushroom" into the moun�ng bracket
with limited force. If necessary, you can loosen the "mushroom" at the rear
of the hea�ng panel 1-2mm to create some room make it easier to slide.
Step 10: Make sure the panel is fully inserted into the moun�ng brackets.
You can check this because the panel has virtually no room to move to the
back or the sides.
NOTE: Only use this fastening method for solid, immovable ceilings, such
as concrete or solid wood slabs. If play can occur in the ceiling, the panel
may pop out of the brackets.
Use the op�onal moun�ng plate with fall protec�on cables for this purpose.
Mouning with the op�onal neodymium magnets
Alterna�vely, it is possible to mount the IR hea�ng panel with the op�onal
neodymium magnets. The dimensions of the magnets used are shown in the
595
figure on the next page. The magnets are screwed into the ceiling with
595
the spacers to mount the panel at a proper distance from the ceiling.
