Description

The Konvi RX hybrid panel heater with an integrated radio receiver by VASNER is a true masterpiece of modern heating technology. It combines the advantages of infrared warmth and convection and can now be controlled even more easily and precisely. For a unique and efficient heating experience. With its three powerful variants of 600, 900 and 1200 watts, the hybrid infrared heating panel is able to quickly spread soothing warmth even in larger, cooler rooms. The key feature of the Konvi RX is the newly integrated control technology. The new hybrid panel heater is designed to give users even more control over their heating experience. Instead of a traditional thermostat dial, as with the original Konvi models, this heater features an integrated wireless receiver. This can be controlled with the separately available VASNER RX thermostat transmitter. Thanks to this novel technology, controlling and regulating the heater becomes a breeze. The VASNER RX thermostat transmitter allows users to program individual heating sequences according to their personal preferences. Whether it's setting a precise target temperature or choosing specific times for the heat to be turned down, the VASNER RX radio system keeps you in full control of your heating panel at all times. Not only the inner technology of the Konvi RX impresses with convectors for additional heating of the room air. But also the outer housing is very elegant. Due to the stylish and flat design, the radiator fits harmoniously into any room or decor. You can also find separately available feet in our shop to use your Konvi RX as a mobile heat source.

What is the difference between the Konvi and Konvi RX hybrid infrared panel heater?

The Konvi RX series differs from the existing Konvi series only by the elegant radio module, which is discreetly mounted on the back of the hybrid panel heater. This replaces the thermostat dial found on the side of the heating panels in the traditional Konvi series. With just a quick push of a button on the receiver module, a wireless connection to the RX thermostat transmitter can be easily established, making the heater ready for immediate use. The radio unit has a convenient heating indicator and a power switch that can be used to turn the electric heater off completely if needed. For those who would like to use a different thermostat system, there is an option to disable the radio connection and use the hybrid panel heater in manual mode. Just like a conventional infrared heating panel, but with the outstanding efficiency and heat output you've come to expect from the Konvi series.

The Original by VASNER

Efficient hybrid infrared panel heaters became famous through VASNER. What makes the Konvi hybrid so special and what makes VASNER hybrid heating panels different from other models on the market? It is the internal infrared technology in combination with the trapezoidal convection plates, which are sometimes completely omitted from other cheap hybrid heaters on the market. Precisely because this inner technology is not visible, it is often saved on. However, this is what makes the big difference in overall efficiency and makes VASNER hybrid panel heaters such great heat sources. Quality pays off.

NEW: Digital tilt protection / off function

For maximum safety, Konvi RX infrared panel heaters by VASNER have a digital tip-over protection with an off function. This feature is activated ex works. In the event of a position change beyond 60°, the automatic switch-off function immediately interrupts the heating process until the Konvi RX is back in an upright position. This feature is especially practical, if you buy supporting feet to transform your Konvi RX into a mobile heat source. Depending on the type of installation, the anti-tilt protection must be deactivated before operation. With this extra digital safety function, VASNER is a pioneer in the market for safe infrared heating panels. So that you can enjoy the cosy warmth of your Konvi RX in peace.

Note: Fixed connection / mains plug

• For a permanent connection to the mains, the power plug must be disconnected.
• The warranty of the device remains valid.
• A direct connection of the heater to the mains may only be carried out in accordance with the legal guidelines by means of digital control and by an authorised person (master electrician).

Further notes:

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

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

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.
