Dimplex radio frequency control goes 24/7
Dimplex radio frequency control solution now offers an even greater level of control over electric heating appliances, as it is available with an LCD programmer unit to give 24/7 programming.
People within the beam's range feel the heat instantly, literally within seconds, in the same way as they do with the sun's rays.
Depending on model, mounting height and angle, a heated area of up to 10m2 from a single unit is achievable, meaning that even large outdoor spaces can enjoy a comfortable warmth, with the OPH's warm glow demonstrating clearly to customers that there is heating in operation, to tempt them into the outdoor area.
Running costs are minimised as the OPH doesn't raise the overall ambient temperatures, so the heat doesn't get blown away and wasted.
The range allows for extra economy of use with the addition of timers or PIR detector switches that will automatically switch the unit/s on or off, depending on whether the area below the heater is occupied.
As an alternative to the OPH, Dimplex's CXD range of ceramic radiant heaters uses similar technology, but doesn't have the warm glow effect.
These units heat up effectively in just a couple of minutes, using long wavelength infrared heat to heat people and objects within the throw, not the air around them.
Ideal for situations where robust but discreet heating is required, they are also compatible with the Dimplex PIR detector for close management of running costs.
