APPLICATIONS
For complete or supplemental
heating in commercial, residential
and institutional structuresnew
or remodeled construction of
offices, classrooms, family rooms,
bathrooms whenever the utility
and comfort of radiant ceiling
heating is desired.
FEATURES
Radiant ceiling panel applications
as primary or supplemental heat
include...
COMMERCIAL building perimeters to
neutralize down-drafts over glass,
enclosed outside walkways, and
washrooms.
SCHOOL locker rooms, cafeterias,
laboratories and classrooms.
HOSPITAL burn and trauma areas,
recovery and examination rooms.
RESIDENTIAL isolated cold spots,
above sliding glass doors and floor to
ceiling windows.
Clean, gentle, comfortable heat that is
ideal for offsetting perimeter heat
loss; saving substantial energy over
other systems by heating people and
objects rather than all the air in a
room or building.
People are comfortable at lower room
temperatures with a radiant system
than with a hot air convective system.
. .comfortable in the 60's rather than
in the 70's. And lower thermostat set-
tings can save hundreds of dollars in
energy bills each year.
Ceiling panels allow full usage of wall
and floor space. No noise. No moving
parts. No maintenance. No ceilings,
walls or drapes to clean. No dried out
air.
A simple system, easy to install, easy
to control room by room without wast-
ing energy needlessly heating unoc-
cupied spaces.
BUILDING RESTORATION: Ceiling pan-
els make attractive, energy saving
restoration of old buildings possible or
they can be used to replace expensive,
outdated heating systems.

STANDARD FEATURES
CUTAWAY DRAWING OF A HEATING PANEL
CRYSTALLINE SURFACE - The panels
unique crystalline surface greatly
enhances the radiant characteristics of the
heating panel.
Radiant output is in the 8-10 micron wave-
length. This is ideal for comfort. Human
skin will absorb 99% of the radiant energy
in these wavelengths. Humans themselves
radiate heat predominately in that micron
range. Without the panels crystalline sur-
face a panel will be less radiant, operate
at higher temperature and produce energy
at shorter wavelengths.
ELEMENT - Encapsulated cassette heat-
ing element assures uniform temperatures
and long life.
WIRING - For connection to the main power
supply, the heater is completely prewired
including green ground wire, with the lead
wires housed in a 48-inch length of flexible
metal conduit and connector for J-Box
mounting.
UNIVERSAL HANGING CLIPS - All radi-
ant ceiling panels are supplied with COM-
BINATION EARTHQUAKE/T-BAR GRIP
CLIPS as a standard feature. These clips
have holes for support chains or can be
folded over the T-BAR to reduce lateral
movement.
CERTIFICATION AND SAFETY
FIRE RATING - Heating panels do not
have a fire rating, but construction is of
fire retardant materials. Panels normally
are treated like light fixtures. If necessary,
acoustical tile can be placed on top of the
panels.
HAZARDOUS AREAS - Heating panels
do not have a hazardous rating.

4. CONCEALED SPLINE SYSTEMS
These systems utilize ceiling tiles
notched to hide the T-bar grid. heating
panels will be treated in a manner simi-
lar to the lights in such a system. We
will build a custom recessed frame and
panel to fit inside the grid opening. The
recessed frame will be suspended inde-
pendently from the T-bar grid. The result
is a flush-mounted panel with an
exposed trim finishing off the adjacent
tiles and supporting the panel.
5. SILKSCREEN
Radiant heating panels can be silk
screened to provide an architectural
blend with leading acoustical tiles. For
T-bar, concealed spline and tegular ceil-
ing systems.
6. CUSTOM COLORS
Radiant heating panels can be painted
any color desired with high temperature
acrylic paints without affecting panel
performance.
Radiant energy is emitted from heating
panels in the 8-10 micron wavelength
range. One of the principal characteris-
tics of this wavelength is that it is not
color selective as are shorter wave-
lengths. Consequently, the surface color
of the panel is unimportant to heating
efficiency and can be considered solely
in the light of aesthetics.
7. PANEL FRONTS FOR A CONTINUOUS
CEILING LINE
To provide a continuous ceiling line around
the perimeter of a building, the factory can
provide panel fronts to be interspersed
between the functioning heating panels.
Field-trimmable filler panels also are avail-
able.
8.SEAL TIGHT FLEXIBLE CONDUIT
AND CONNECTORS
Radiant ceiling panels come with 1/2"
Greenfield flexible conduit and straight
connectors as standard equipment. Seal
tight connectors and conduit can be sub-
stituted at the factory if panels are to be
used in high moisture areas or if required
by local electrical codes.
9. FACTORY SILICONE SEALED
PANELS FOR USE IN HIGH MOISTURE
AREAS - Exterior moisture and condensa-
tion do not affect heating panel perform-
ance, but water inside the unit can cause
the panel to fail. Panels being used in
locker rooms and swimming pool areas
should be totally sealed with silicone at the
factory before shipment. If there is a
chance of moisture above the ceiling, then
seal tight conduit and seal tight connectors
also should be used.
10. LONGER FLEXIBLE CONDUIT
Panels will replace the standard 48
Greenfield with up to 11 of 1/2 flexible
conduit.
