Description

The appliances in the Thermologika Soleil series
(indicated as TS in the following) are waterproof
infrared lamps (protection level IPX5) for use as
supplementary heaters, to be wall or ceiling mounted.
The TS uses the principle of irradiation (like the sun
itself), to transmit heat to objects by means of the light
rays emitted from the lamps.
Since it has no moving parts, the TS is totally silent in

operation

Operation
TS is particularly suitable for use in domestic,
commercial or industrial environments, especially
when more or less instant heat is required in restricted
areas. It is turned on and off using a switch, and a
potentiometer (optional, in models 3000 and 3000
Vertical) is used to adjust the amount of power
delivered.
ATTENTION: TS must be connected to a fixed
power supply network.
