GENERAL

Marley Engineered Products Radiant Heating Panels are designed to provide comfort by warming the surfaces below the heaters just as the sun warms surfaces through radiant energy. This heating process heats objects in a room without having to bring the room air temperature up to the same level. These panels are ideal for spot heating in high heat loss areas. Panels may be installed side by side or individually above areas requiring additional heat. If used as a sole source of heat, more heat will be felt while standing directly under the panel.

Although the heater contains thermal insulation, it will operate more efficiently in well insulated rooms. Four or more inches of insulation above an exposed ceiling will increase both comfort and economy.

The heaters are intended to be controlled by a remote wall mounted thermostat. The thermostat should be located in the same room on a side wall. It should also be above five feet above the floor, but not directly under the heater.
