ELÍZ EQH 12 B Wall-Mounted Infrared Heater

Product detailed description

Wall-mounted infrared heaters are commonly specified for compact living spaces, bathrooms and utility areas where rapid, direct heat is needed without air circulation. The ELIZ EQH 12 B fits within standard electrical infrastructure and is suitable for installation in residential premises with non-complex heating demands. Its design supports targeted heat delivery, making it ideal for zones requiring immediate thermal comfort rather than ambient room heating.

As part of an electrical heating system, this unit operates independently of ventilation or ductwork. It does not require additional components such as fans or air circulation devices. Installation involves securing the unit to a surface and connecting it to a single-phase supply. The device is intended for fixed mounting, not freestanding use, and is compatible with standard electrical circuits protected by a 10 A fuse or circuit breaker.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Mounting should be performed using the provided fixing points and a secure wall anchor. The unit is supplied with a 1.4 m power cable and requires a standard 230 V AC supply. Ensure the mounting surface is dry and structurally sound. A pull cord switch is integrated for manual power adjustment between the two output levels. Verify the circuit is protected by a 10 A fuse or equivalent circuit breaker. Avoid proximity to flammable materials or direct exposure to water jets. A common mistake during installation includes incorrect orientation; the maximum tilt of 45° should be applied to direct heat towards the desired area.

Compatibility and accessories

The ELIZ EQH 12 B is designed for standalone use and does not require supplementary components such as thermostats or timers unless specified by the system designer. For control integration, external switches can be added separately, though the unit itself features built-in power adjustment via the pull cord. No additional ventilation or ducting is required due to the absence of a fan component. Ensure the electrical supply meets local regulations and the circuit is appropriately rated for the maximum power draw of 1200 W.

Technical background for designers

This infrared heater utilises quartz (silicon) tubes as the primary heating element. When energised, these emit long-wave infrared radiation directly onto objects and surfaces within line-of-sight, converting radiant energy to thermal energy without heating the intervening air. This method results in faster heat-up times compared to convection-based systems. The metallic housing enhances durability and facilitates even distribution of heat along the panel’s surface. The IP24 rating is achieved through sealed electrical connections and a protective enclosure that prevents water ingress from splashes but not from immersion or high-pressure jets. The unit integrates seamlessly into standard electrical systems and requires no special controls beyond the basic switching mechanism.

Service and operation

Periodic inspection is recommended to verify secure mounting, intact cable insulation and absence of physical damage. The device does not require cleaning of internal components due to the sealed construction. Ensure the pull cord remains free from entanglement and operates smoothly. No scheduled maintenance is necessary under normal conditions. If performance declines or irregularities occur, disconnect the unit and inspect for signs of wear or electrical faults before reusing.

Frequently asked questions

Can the ELIZ EQH 12 B be mounted in a bathroom?
Yes, the IP24 rating allows installation in rooms with occasional moisture exposure such as bathrooms, provided there is no direct contact with water sources or steam.

How is the output adjusted on the ELIZ EQH 12 B?
Output is manually adjusted using the pull cord switch located on the back of the unit. Pulling the cord once toggles between the two power levels.

Is the ELIZ EQH 12 B suitable for heated flooring applications?
No, this model is designed for wall mounting and emits radiant heat directly towards objects and surfaces, not for embedding in floors or ceilings.

Can the ELIZ EQH 12 B be controlled with an external thermostat?
While the unit includes a built-in pull cord switch, an external thermostat can be wired into the circuit to automate operation according to ambient conditions.
