Description

With Citara M Plus, VASNER presents the first metal infrared panel with rounded corners. The radiant panel heater with an ultra-flat construction and elegant design not only looks highly modern when mounted on the wall or ceiling, but also enables space-saving heating. The innovative infrared technology distributes direct, even warmth throughout the room. In addition to their pleasant heating effect, the metal infrared panels create a cosy atmosphere in your home thanks to their elegant design. The well thought out mount allows the silk-matt heater in white to nestle snugly against the wall or ceiling. The heating panel can therefore be seamlessly integrated into any interior decor. Whether living spaces in apartments and houses, commercial areas in existing buildings, extensions or new buildings - with the Citara M Plus infrared panel you can quickly and easily create cosy, additional warmth everywhere. The flat, rounded metal radiator is particularly popular in bathrooms and restrooms, where space on the wall is often limited. Alternatively, the infrared heating panel can be mounted on the ceiling to provide sun-like warmth from above. High humidity in the bathroom is absolutely no problem for the advanced radiant electric heater. With IP44 protection (when permanently connected / plugged in), it is even resistant to direct spray water. A further safety measure is the integrated overheating protection. This innovative feature automatically prevents the metal infrared panels from developing an excessive surface temperature - true VASNER quality. The 10 year manufacturer's warranty and TÜV certificate of the rounded infrared heating panels also attest to their high quality.

Note: Mobile use with additionally available feet (ATTENTION: feet not suitable for Citara 300 W & 550 W models). 

Radiant Efficiency VASNER

The radiant efficiency of our infrared heating panels significantly exceeds the required 40%.

Note from the European Infrared Heating Alliance (EIHA):
Radiant efficiency depends on various influencing factors. These include the size of an infrared panel heater, the type of installation (wall/ceiling), and the test setup in the respective testing institute. The pure percentage value alone is not meaningful without considering these factors.
The radiant efficiency tested according to DIN EN IEC 60675-3 at TU Dresden averages over 50% (wall-mounted) and over 60% (ceiling-mounted). This far exceeds the standard requirement (40%).

The radiation efficiency of VASNER infrared panel heaters was determined by the Technical University of Dresden on behalf of VASNER in accordance with the test guideline DIN EN IEC 60675-3.

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

Current Load and Fuse:

• A standard household power line delivers about 3,5 kW at 16 amperes.
• Citara M Plus infrared panel heaters have an output of 450 - 1100 watts = 0,45 - 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:

• 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
