MATERIALS, PAPER OR CARDBOARD, A SAFE DISTANCE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AWAY FROM THE HEATER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE

WARNING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOT FOR HOME OR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE USE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The heater is designed for use as a construction heater in accordance with ANSI

 

 

 

 

 

 

Z83.7•CGA2.14. Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heating products

 

 

 

 

 

 

for specific uses. Your local authority can advise you about these. The primary

 

 

 

 

 

 

purpose of construction heaters is to provide temporary heating of buildings under

 

 

 

 

 

 

construction, alteration or repair. Properly used, the heater provides safe economi-

 

 

 

 

 

 

cal heating. Products of combustion are vented into the area being heated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our heaters. Check with your

 

 

 

 

 

 

local fire safety authority if you have questions about heater use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products for

 

 

 

 

 

 

specific uses. Your local authorities can advise you about these.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Some people are more affected by carbon

 

 

 

 

 

 

monoxide than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu,

 

 

 

 

 

 

with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may

 

 

 

 

 

 

not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Check for proper ventilation and

 

 

 

 

 

 

have heater serviced.

RCP80, TC80 specifications

Desa TC80 and RCP80 are innovative heating solutions designed for both residential and commercial applications. These models exemplify the latest advancements in heating technology, offering efficient and reliable performance.

The Desa TC80 is a top-of-the-line forced-air heater that delivers powerful heating capabilities. With a robust thermal output, it ensures rapid temperature rise in any space. One of its main features is its exceptional energy efficiency, made possible by its advanced heat exchanger design. The TC80 utilizes electronic ignition technology, eliminating the need for a standing pilot light, which not only enhances safety but also contributes to lower operating costs.

On the other hand, the RCP80 is a radiant ceiling panel heater that offers a unique heating experience. Unlike traditional heaters that rely on convection, the RCP80 heats objects and surfaces directly, creating a comfortable environment. This panel heater is particularly useful in spaces with high ceilings or large open areas, as it effectively spreads warmth without the common cold spots associated with conventional heating systems. Its sleek and unobtrusive design makes it an aesthetic addition to any room.

Both models come equipped with state-of-the-art control systems that allow users to adjust the temperature settings easily. The Desa TC80 features a digital thermostat for precise temperature management, while the RCP80 offers a simple dial control for user-friendly operation.

Safety is a priority in both designs. The TC80 includes a feature that automatically shuts off the heater in the event of overheating, while the RCP80 is constructed with high-quality, heat-resistant materials to prevent any risk of fire hazards.

In terms of installation, the TC80 is designed for quick and easy setup, making it accessible for homeowners and professional installers alike. The RCP80 can be mounted on ceilings or walls, providing versatile options for various room configurations.

Overall, the Desa TC80 and RCP80 represent a blend of form, function, and technology, making them ideal choices for anyone seeking reliable heating solutions. Their energy-efficient operation, advanced safety features, and modern designs set them apart in the competitive heating market, providing warmth and comfort for years to come.
