HERSCHEL OUTDOOR HEATERS
TIMERS & SWITCHES
Having an accessible means of controlling and
switching your heater on and off is important and
allows for ease of mind and effective heating.
The Elkay combination switch and timer has touch
sensor technology which provide general purpose
time control. Suitable for outdoor use, the boost
timer is pre-programmed using DIP switches on the
back for durations of between 2 minutes to 2 hours.
When the button is touched the heater will be
powered for the programmed period and then
switched off automatically. The unit features:
• Blue ring around button when switched off for
locating in the dark.
• Red LED indicating the boost is in progress.
• Cancel operation for when the boost is no longer
required.
• Red LED flashing during last minute of boost.

Frequently Asked Questions
• What is far infrared heat? Far infrared is radiant heat and is the
same heat we feel from an environment warmed by the sun, and the
wavelength most efficiently absorbed by the body. It is even the
same form of heat emitted by your own body and is the most basic
form of heating known to man. Today, new technology, in the form
of 100% energy efficient, zero light far infrared heating, is allowing
us to use radiant heating once more in a stylish, comfortable and
highly controllable way.
• Is far infrared heat energy efficient? Unlike conventional heaters
which primarily heat the air, Herschel heaters produce far infrared
(radiant) heat which directly heats people, objects and the thermal
mass of the building without warming the air. It requires up to 40%
more energy to heat the air through convection heaters and it is this
difference that makes infrared heating more energy-efficient.
• Is far infrared heat safe? Herschel far infrared heating is 100%
natural for our bodies and our well-being. The human body is
designed to accept and emit infrared waves. Far infrared heating
works on the basis of gentle, long-wave infrared which penetrates
the air and heats solids. If you like the warmth of the sun then you
will love the feeling you get from your new infrared heating system.
However, unlike the sun our heaters only emit safe infrared heat, not
the harmful UV. So, you get the feeling of the sun without the
damaging rays.
• How do I control and effectively heat my outdoor area with a
Herschel infrared heater? We can supply an Elkay preprogrammable
push button timer. This variable duration timer allows
operation of your Herschel product from 2 minutes to up to 2 hours
after pressing the button.
