Description

Konvi VE RX is the new vertical hybrid panel heater with an integrated radio system by VASNER. For even more convenient, efficient control, the hybrid panel heater can be regulated with the separately available RX radio thermostat transmitter. So you do not need to install a thermostat receiver for the socket or via flush mounting. The heater intelligently combines infrared heat and convection to provide you with even quicker warmth. Thanks to its slim, vertical design, the Konvi VE RX can also be mounted on narrow wall sections to make the best use of free space. With the help of its intensive heat output of 900 or 1200 watts (depending on the model), the hybrid infrared heater provides a comfortable warmth even in large, cool rooms. What also makes the Konvi VE RX special is its innovative control technology. Instead of a conventional thermostat dial, the heater has an integrated radio receiver that can be controlled with the separately available VASNER RX thermostat transmitter. This gives you easy and flexible control over the heater. You can program custom heating sequences, set precise target temperatures, and also set times for turning the heater up and down according to your personal preferences. The slim and flat design of the Konvi VE RX is another advantage. With its elegant housing, the hybrid panel heater blends harmoniously into any room and lends it a modern touch. Experience a new dimension of heating with the Konvi VE RX, which is not only efficient, but also space-saving and elegant. Enjoy cozy warmth and easy control of your heating panel for a cosy room climate.

What is the difference between Konvi VE and Konvi VE RX hybrid infrared heating panels?

The Konvi VE RX series features an elegant radio module discreetly located on the back of the hybrid panel heater. Unlike the conventional Konvi VE series, which has a mechanical thermostat dial on the side of the heater, the innovative radio module allows for even easier and more precise control. One touch of a button on the receiver module is all it takes to establish a wireless radio connection to the RX thermostat transmitter and start using the heater. The integrated heating indicator lights up when the Konvi is actively heating. In addition, the radio module has a convenient power switch that allows you to turn off the electric heater completely if necessary. Another highlight is that users who prefer a different thermostat system can disable the radio connection and use the hybrid heater in manual mode. This preserves flexibility and allows everyone to use the panel heater in the way that suits their individual needs.

The Original by VASNER

What makes the Konvi hybrid infrared heater so efficient and different from other models on the market, lies in its unique heating technology. In addition to the infrared technology behind the front panel, which provides direct heat radiation, you will find trapezoidal convection plates inside the housing. The room air rises through the convector plates and is heated during this process. Precisely these convectors are sometimes not even present in cheaper hybrid heaters from other suppliers, because the inner workings of the radiators are not directly visible and therefore often neglected in order to save production costs. But it is this interior technology that plays a crucial role in overall efficiency, ensures a faster temperature increase in the room and makes VASNER hybrid infrared panel heaters outstanding heat sources. After all, quality pays off and herein lies the key to impressive performance.

NEW: Digital tilt protection / off function

The Konvi VE RX panel heaters by VASNER are equipped with an advanced, digital tip-over protection that maximises the safety of the heating process. This is activated ex works. If the hybrid heater is tilted by more than 60 degrees, the automatic switch-off function intervenes immediately and interrupts the heating process until the Konvi VE RX is back in its upright position. Depending on the type of installation, the anti-tilt protection must be deactivated before operation. This innovative digital safety function puts VASNER at the forefront of the market for safe infrared heaters and allows you to relax and enjoy the pleasant warmth of your heater.

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.
