AWEX HTR-25 Heating Element with Thermostat 230V 5-10W for Emergency Lighting Battery Packs

The AWEX HTR-25 is a specialized heating element designed to maintain optimal operating temperatures for emergency lighting battery packs. Operating at 230V with a power output of 5-10W, this component is essential for ensuring the reliability of emergency power systems installed in cold environments. By preventing the performance degradation that typically occurs in low-temperature conditions, the HTR-25 helps extend the service life of battery packs and ensures that emergency lighting remains functional when needed most.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the AWEX HTR-25 is its integrated thermostat, which allows for precise temperature management without the need for external control systems. Its compact design facilitates easy installation within standard emergency lighting housings, making it a highly efficient solution for climate-sensitive electronics. By stabilizing the internal temperature of the battery pack, this heating element minimizes the risk of capacity loss and chemical instability caused by freezing or near-freezing temperatures, thereby enhancing the overall safety and dependability of the emergency lighting installation.

Suitable for

• Emergency lighting systems in unheated warehouses
• Outdoor emergency lighting installations
• Cold storage facilities and refrigerated areas
• Parking garages and industrial sites with low ambient temperatures

When it may not be suitable

This heating element is not intended for use in environments where ambient temperatures remain consistently high, as the thermostat may prevent the unit from activating, or it may contribute to overheating if the enclosure lacks proper ventilation. It is also not suitable for battery chemistries that are not rated for operation with external heating components.

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: 230V AC
• Power consumption: 5-10W
• Integrated thermostat: Yes
• Application: Emergency lighting battery packs

How to use

The AWEX HTR-25 should be installed by a qualified technician in accordance with the emergency lighting fixture manufacturer's guidelines. The heating element is typically mounted in close proximity to the battery pack to ensure efficient heat transfer. Ensure that the electrical connection is securely made to the 230V supply and that the thermostat is positioned to accurately monitor the temperature of the battery environment. Verify that all wiring is routed safely away from sharp edges or moving parts within the fixture housing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the voltage compatibility of your existing emergency lighting system
• Check the available space within the fixture housing for the heating element
• Confirm the temperature range requirements of your specific battery pack
• Ensure compliance with local electrical safety regulations for emergency equipment

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the heating element and the battery pack during routine maintenance cycles to ensure that the thermostat is functioning correctly and that the heating element is securely mounted. Do not attempt to modify the electrical circuit of the heating element, as this may void the warranty and compromise the safety of the emergency lighting system.
