March 2023 Rev 2 Innovative, High Performance Electric Heating Technology Features & Benefits High Output radiant heat The Heatstrip Max range of electric radiant heaters produces a high temperature radiant warmth that travels through the air directly to people and surfaces below – similar to the heat rays emited by the Sun. Radiant heating is the only viable option for outdoor or tough indoor sites.

Spot heating principle In most outdoor or difficult-to-heat indoor applications, there are 2 methods when looking at the size and quantity of 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 or not.

Radiant footprint ® HEATSTRIP Max 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 below shows the radiant footprint of HEATSTRIP Max, and is an approximate guide based on a fully enclosed, outdoor environment.
Selection guide ® General recommendations for HEATSTRIP Max: • Ideal mounting height: 2.3m to 2.8m. Maximum is 3.0m Outdoors and 3.5m Indoors • 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 250W/m is re- quired.

Table layout For the majority of outdoor applications, the most effective method is to spot heat a table or similar area. The below diagrams provides an easy selection guide for the approximate model and quantity of heaters required to heat common residential table settings. ®...
Installation Requirements ® The ideal mounting position for the HEATSTRIP Max is on the ceiling, directly above the area to be heated. If this is not ® possible, HEATSTRIP Max can be mounted on a wall and angled downwards. In this situation, ensure the mounting height is in the range of 2.3m to 2.8m and the table is within 3.0m of the wall.
Installation location — the below diagrams confirm the minimum recommended clearances.

Mounting options ® The installation of HEATSTRIP Max is simple and easy with the standard mounting brackets supplied. For other more challenging locations there are a range of mounting options available - refer to below diagrams. ® The HEATSTRIP Max can be mounted directly to the ceiling, angled downwards on a wall, suspended on chains or poles; attached to beams or poles;...
Standard mounting brackets ® The HEATSTRIP Max comes with a pair of standard mounting brackets. These adjustable brackets allow direct ceiling or wall mount, and come with preset angle options of parallel, 22.5° and 45°. The flexible standard mounting bracket can be turned 90 degrees to mount onto a beam, it can also be used to suspend with chains.

MOUNTING Fix the two mounting brackets to the ceiling or wall in the desired location (refer minimum bracket centre chart). Make sure the method of fixing (bolts or screws) will be more than strong enough to support the weight of the heater, allowing for strong winds and other conditions.
Page 13
Extension Mount Bracket ® The Extension Mount bracket allows HEATSTRIP Max units to be lowered from high ceilings, using rigid connections. The brackets are for use with 25mm x 25mm x 1mm tube (SHS), supplied as a complete kit with brackets, pre-cut poles and connections.

HEATSTRIP Plug In Remote Controller The TT-MTR-PLUG has been designed to provide easy remote control timer ® functionality to wall socket powered HEATSTRIP heaters. The unit can however be used to remotely operate with timer functionality any device pow- ered by a standard 10A Australian wall socket outlet. The TT-MTR-PLUG controller consists of a remote control and a plug-in wall socket timer unit to provide easy wireless timer operation.

® HEATSTRIP Wall Controller with Remote TT-MTM2 Wall Controller This controller is a custom designed and manufactured controller for HEATSTRIP heaters. It has been designed for ease of use and to provide low running costs of your heater. It provides both temperature control (allowing the user to turn the heat output up or down depending on the ambient temperature and conditions) and a timer for automatic heater shut-off operation.
Operation Press “On/Off” button to turn power on and off. Once turned on, the controller will default to High power setting and will be permanently on (no timer function). Press “POWER” button to select the desired power setting by cycling through HIGH—MEDIUM -LOW.

TT-MTM CONTROLLER INSTALLATION GUIDE Controller Wiring Example Load 16A Max GANG 220-240V~ 50Hz Supply The TT-MTM2 Controller required sufficient air circulation in order to provide continuous operation on the high power load setting. The vents must always remain clear; never block or cover the vents. An ideal controller installation will provide significant space around the back of the controller.
Page 18
Heater wiring schematic diagrams It is recommended to install an ON/OFF isolation switch before the controller and ensure the unit is turned OFF after use. Multiple heaters can be operated using a single controller, however the maximum current rating of 16A must not be exceeded.
The heater must not be mounted immediately below or in front of a socket outlet. In case of a heater fault or damaged supply lead, the appliance should be returned to the point of purchase for return to Thermofilm for repair.
