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 5 year manufacturer's warranty and TÜV certificate of the rounded infrared heating panels also attest to their high quality.

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

Safety Functions:

• Overheating protection (thermal switch)

Heating Area:

• Use exclusively in closed interior spaces
• Example values shown based on good room insulation with a heating requirement of 50 watts/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 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

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.

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".
