Infrared Transmitter Unit At the heart of this unit is a small heater assembly designed to give a high
intensity uniform source of infrared energy over a long lifetime, in excess of
two years continuous operation, with a power consumption of only 26 watts.
The heater has a stainless steel cylindrical core, plasma coated with
refractory, and around which is a 'Kanthal' heating element. This is then
enclosed within refractory fibers and encapsulated in an aluminium cartridge.
In the infrequent event of failure, the complete heater assembly can be
replaced on site within ten minutes.
