Description

VASNER presents the Citara M series: Ultra-flat infrared panels for convenient and efficient heating. Behind the elegant, white metal surface of the panel heaters, lies a high-quality heating mat for even, sun-like radiant warmth. The infrared technology enables an output of up to 1100 watts of heat with a housing depth of only 2,5 cm. The slim infrared panel is delivered together with a fitting wall / ceiling bracket. This practical mount facilitates the installation of the device in the desired spot while also ensuring a minimum distance to the wall or ceiling. The innovative infrared panels with a silk-matt surface in white blend in perfectly with their surroundings and only stand out thanks to their impressive heating power. The wafer-thin heating element is even suitable as a bathroom heater, because it is resistant to splash water and moisture (if permanently connected) thanks to its IPX4 protection class. A further safety feature is the integrated overheating protection. Built-in safety switches prevent the metal radiators from developing dangerously high temperatures. Citara M infrared panels in true VASNER quality - TÜV certified and with a 5 year warranty.

Details on the Use of the Infrared Heating Panel

Efficient Control via Thermostat:

• To use infrared heating panels efficiently, an electronic thermostat is necessary
• Thermostat is not included (see accessories)
• The selection of a suitable thermostat depends on the intended application
• Advantages of programmable thermostats: Automatic temperature change according to time & day, individually programmable + standard heating programs, quick selection settings, frost protection function
• Panel heaters have an open interface, i.e. they are compatible with every thermostat system
• Also ideal for integration into smart home environments
• The heating panel is compatible with thermostats of other manufacturers.
• Matching VASNER thermostats:
• VFTB wireless thermostat set
• VUT35 universal socket thermostat
• VFT35 wireless thermostat set

• Ultra-flat (panel 2,5 cm deep + wall bracket: 2 cm deep)
• Colour: White, RAL 9003
• Material: Metal, steel
• Dimensions (H x W x D):
• 300 watts: 60 x 40 x 2,5 cm

Safety Functions:

• Overheating protection (thermal switch)

Heating Area:

• Exclusively in closed indoor spaces (with 50 watts / m² heating requirement):
• 300 watts: up to approx. 6 m²
• 450 watts: up to approx. 9 m²
• 700 watts: up to approx. 14 m²
• 900 watts: up to approx. 18 m²
• 1100 watts: up to approx. 22 m²
• Data and calculations of heating areas are always dependent on several influencing factors, for example structural conditions such as ceiling height, room size, insulation, energetic conditions / building fabric, number of external walls etc.

Mounting:

• Ideally suited for wall / ceiling mounting
• Incl. patented mounting bracket
• Fasten the bracket to the ceiling / wall with the supplied screws and dowels.
• Slide heater in place + turn safety bracket
• Safe, simple installation
• Ideal position: Opposite the desired heating area in max. 3 - 4 m. distance

Current Load and Fuse:

• A standard household power line delivers about 3,5 kW at 16 amperes.
• Citara M infrared panel heaters have an output of 300 - 1100 watts = 0,3 - 1,1 kW.
• Multiple heating panels can be connected per circuit.
• For simultaneous operation together with several other electrical devices in the same area, a second supply line may be necessary, depending on the total load.
• An additional power line can be installed by a qualified electrician.

Safety Distance to Flammable Materials:

• To the front: 30 cm
• Upwards / downwards + to each side: 10 cm
• 60 cm to water sources

Heating Costs:

At an average electricity price of 29 cents per kWh:

• 300 watts: 0,29 € / kWh * 0,3 kW ≈ 0,09 € / h ≈ 9 cents per hour
• 450 watts: 0,29 € / kWh * 0,45 kW ≈ 0,13 € / h ≈ 13 cents per hour
• 700 watts: 0,29 € / kWh * 0,7 kW ≈ 0,20 € / h ≈ 20 cents per hour
• 900 watts: 0,29 € / kWh * 0,9 kW ≈ 0,26 € / h ≈ 26 cents per hour
• 1100 watts: 0,29 € / kWh * 1,1 kW ≈ 0,32 € / h ≈ 32 cents per hour

Note: Fixed Connection / Power Plug

• For a permanent connection to the mains, the power plug must be disconnected.
• The warranty of the device remains valid.

Note:

Maximum efficiency: Approx. 99% of the electrical energy used is converted into thermal output.

To estimate the wattage required to heat each m², please use our online calculator >>

Within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2015/1188, electric room heaters must be controlled and operated via electronic room temperature controllers (thermostats) with a "weekday control" and "window-open-detection" function or "adaptive control of the start of heating". For example, with the matching thermostat set VASNER VFTB you can optimally control infrared heating panels. The thermostat system can be found below under accessories. 

The ErP table for this electric heating panel can be found in the section "Downloads".
