Polished anodized aluminum reflectors for optimal heat distribution

Mounting hinges provided allowing five different positioning angles

Integrated base for connecting a regulator or series connection of multiple cassettes

Gray steel sheet housing with corrosion-resistant aluminum-zinc coating

Suitable installation height from 4.5m to 20m

Power output of 4500W

Comfort and Energy Savings

Infrared technology enables precise temperature adaptation to different zones within a space. Spot heating improves occupant comfort while reducing energy costs. Dividing a large space into several heating zones significantly reduces consumption, particularly in buildings with underutilized areas.

Recommended Positioning

For effective spot heating, emitters must be positioned so that people receive heat from both front and back. The minimum distance from the head is 2 meters. Outdoor emitters must absolutely be installed under shelter.

Installation

The unit mounts horizontally via brackets fixed to the ceiling or wall, with possible adjustment of 30° in each direction. Suspension by cables of at least 3 mm diameter is a viable alternative. The IRG protective grille is available as an option to protect the heating element in sports complexes.

Electrical Connection

Designed for permanent installation, the IR4500 features double connection bases allowing multiple emitters to be linked together.

Mandatory Regulation Options

For compliance with Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2015/1188, the unit must be equipped with a TAP16R thermostat or an RB123 output control.

Thermostat regulation:

TAP16R (electronic thermostat with adaptive start, weekly programming and window opening detection)

RB3 (400V relay box)

Regulation with black bulb sensor:

TAP16R

SKG30 (black bulb sensor)

RB3

3-stage control with presence detector:

RB123 (relay box with 3-stage output control)

PDK65 (presence detector with power supply)

The product can also be integrated into a centralized management system (BMS) in compliance with regulatory requirements. To obtain IP44 protection rating with the TAP16R, the addition of a TEP44 enclosure and an external RTX54 sensor is required, accompanied by an RB relay box.
