Supported Applications
The Omega FCH-FGC1 Series consists of compact fan heaters designed for build-in applications. The product overview explicitly lists the following use cases: ATM's, Ticket Machines, Parking Ticket Terminals, Access Systems, Fuel Dispensers, Energy Ports, Building-Safety Systems, Building-Management Systems, and Landscaping Systems.
Operating Conditions & Performance
The series utilizes Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) ceramic heating technology coupled to a 40 mm (1.6") fan within anodized aluminum extrusions. Nominal power output ranges from 60W to 230W at 10°C, depending on the model configuration.
Ambient operating temperature limits vary by power rating:
- For 100W, 150W, and 200W models: -10 to 70 °C (14 to 158 °F).
- For 230W models: -20 to 60 °C (-4 to 140 °F).
Fan volumetric flow is documented as 13.6 m³/hour for the 60W model, 12.4 m³/hour for the 150W model, and 17 m³/hour for the 230W model. Fan lifetime (L10 at 40°C) is specified as 120,000 hours for certain configurations and 50,000 hours for others.
Configuration Options
The FCH-FGC1 series offers configurable heater input voltages of 12 or 24 AC/DC or 115/230 Vac. Fan operation is supported on 12 DC, 12 AC, or 24 AC/DC inputs. The design allows the heater to be controlled independently of the fan, enabling a 'fan-only' mode for air circulation.
Physical dimensions maintain a consistent cross-section of 42 x 42 mm (1.7 x 1.7 in) across all models. Overall length varies by power rating:
- 60W and 150W/230W variants: Lengths range from 72/77 mm (2.8/3 in) to 122 mm (4.8 in).
All units include a 600 mm (24") lead with DIN connector and an outlet finger guard for high voltage supply protection where applicable.
Key Product Differences
The series is distinguished by specific combinations of heater power, input voltage, and fan control. Model numbers follow the pattern FCH-FGCR (e.g., FCH-FGC10072R). Key distinctions include:
- 60W models: Available with 12V or 24V heater inputs.
- 100W, 150W, 200W, and 230W models: Designed for 115/230 Vac heater input.
- Fan voltage options vary between 12 Vdc and 24 Vac/Vdc depending on the specific model number suffix.

Too Expensive
The heater/fan unit wasn’t nearly enough product for the money.

What's the BTU output for the 12v 60w unit please?
Hi Steve,
Thank you for the inquiry. Rating of 60 watts indicates it can produce 205 BTU/hr at lower operating range. The PTC style heating element will reduce this value as temperature rises. For temperature vs output detail please email us at HEATERS@OMEGA.COM.
Best regards

How is it mounted? Would it work in a campervan?
The FCH-FGC10022R is a compact fan heater for small enclosures. Typical application is to heat a small electrical enclosure to keep components from dropping below their operating temperature range. Larger areas or enclosures would require more power to heat. We have emailed you the user guide for detailed instructions. Thank you for connecting with Omega!

What is the surface temperature of the unit? Is it touch safe?
The heater can go up to 158F for the outlet temperature but it is highly unlikely the case would be anywhere near that value. The heater will get warm on the out side and probably safe to touch but caution should be exercised.

How does this unit mount? I've got an enclosure being made for a Robot Tool with a camera that will need heat. The insides of the enclosure are already very close to the outer dimensions of this unit and I'd like to know how it mounts to be sure it fits
Please send your inquiry to heaters@omega.com and instructions can be provided.

What is the sound level produced (i.e. db level) by a typical 100WATT heater/fan?
Unfortunately there is no readily available data on the sound level of the Heaters. You can send a request to heaters@omega.com and see if that can be researched.

Is there a way to control the heating output of this unit? Can I change voltage input for heat control?
Hi Hubbies,
Thank you for the inquiry. Best to use a thermostat with the heating circuit. For other questions please forward request to TEMP@OMEGA.COM.
