Footprint Of The Radiator
Every radiator has a certain reach. This is the area that can receive the infrared radiation, this is called the
footprint of the radiator. The footprint of the radiators depends on the position of the radiator as well as the
amount of channels used.

Figure 1-10 The footprint of the radiator and the physical parameters that influence the footprint
The position of the radiator is determined by the following parameters:
The x position in the room
The y position in the room
The height of the mounted radiator
The vertical angle: how the radiator is tilted
The horizontal angle: the angle the radiator is turned left or right
For a detailed description of how these parameters effect the footprint see "Position the Lingua IR
components" on page38.
The amount of channels can also change the footprint of the radiator. When you have more than four,
eight, twelve, etc. channels, this will drastically reduce the size of the radiator footprint.
