  • Electric towel warmer | heated towel rail | 500 W | 500 × 1200 mm | 11 bars | IP44 | matt black RAL 9035 | ADAX Wave 50-120-500 Black

    ADAX Wave 50-120-500 Black is a matt black electric ladder-type towel warmer / heated towel rail designed for drying and warming towels and providing additional bathroom comfort. The model features 11 rectangular-profile bars, a 500 W electric heating element, a programmable MUSA controller, temperature adjustment from 7–30 °C and an IP44 protection rating. The matt black RAL 9035 finish and understated Scandinavian design are particularly suitable for modern, minimalist bathrooms and interiors with dark accents.

    Key point

    ADAX Wave 50-120-500 Black combines towel drying, electric heating and programmable temperature control in one appliance. The greater 1200 mm height and 11 bars provide more space for towels, while the 500 W power output provides greater heating capacity than more compact Wave-series models. The integrated MUSA controller supports COMFORT, NIGHT, ANTIFREEZE, TIMER-2H and CHRONO modes, heating schedules by day and hour, open-window detection and button lock.

    Operating principle

    ADAX Wave is an electric liquid-filled towel warmer. It contains a mixture of 90% water and 10% glycol, heated by an integrated 500 W electric heating element.

    Heat is transferred to the metal body and horizontal bars. Towels hung on them gradually warm up and dry, while the towel warmer itself can also provide additional heat to the bathroom.

    Ready to use: the towel warmer is already filled with heat-transfer fluid and fitted with a programmable electric heating element, so after mechanical installation it only needs to be correctly connected to the electrical supply.

    WAVE construction – 11 rectangular-profile bars

    Unlike ladder-type constructions with round profiles, ADAX Wave uses rectangular-profile black steel tube bars. The model has 11 horizontal bars, providing more space for hanging and drying several everyday towels. The 500 × 1200 mm dimensions are especially suitable when a taller towel warmer and a larger usable hanging area are required.

    Rotatable heating element – right- or left-hand installation

    The installed black electric heating element is rotatable. This allows the towel warmer to be adapted during installation so that the controller is positioned on the more convenient side – a right-hand or left-hand installation configuration can be selected.

    Programmable MUSA controller

    The integrated electronic MUSA controller is designed not only for setting the temperature but also for programming towel-warmer operation. Temperature is adjusted using [+] and [−], modes are selected using [Prog], and [On/Standby] is used to switch the appliance on or place it in standby mode.

    COMFORT
    Maintains the room comfort temperature set by the user.
    NIGHT
    Lower-temperature mode for night-time or periods when the room is not in use.
    ANTIFREEZE
    Automatically maintains a temperature of 7 °C.
    TIMER-2H
    Operates at maximum power for 2 hours – convenient for faster towel drying.
    CHRONO
    Weekly temperature programming in one-hour intervals.
    FIL-PILOT
    Intended for product versions with the Fil-Pilote system and centralised heating control.

    Switching on and standby mode

    The appliance is switched on or placed in standby mode using the [On/Standby] button.

    • When the appliance is switched on, the display shows the current time, selected mode and set temperature.
    • In standby mode, the display shows the current time, day of the week and [Stb].
    • When switching to standby mode, the appliance emits two 0.5-second beeps.
    • When switching the appliance on, one approximately 1-second audible signal is heard.

    COMFORT and NIGHT temperatures

    Two main temperature levels can be set in the controller:

    • COMFORT temperature is used in COMFORT, CHRONO and, where applicable, FIL-PILOT modes.
    • NIGHT temperature is used in NIGHT and CHRONO modes.
    • The overall configurable temperature range is 7–30 °C.
    • The NIGHT temperature must be at least 0.5 °C lower than the COMFORT temperature.

    COMFORT mode

    In COMFORT mode, the towel warmer steadily maintains the selected room temperature. The mode is selected by pressing [Prog] until the COMFORT icon appears on the display, while the desired temperature is set using [+] and [−].

    NIGHT mode

    NIGHT mode maintains a lower temperature than COMFORT mode. It is recommended for use at night or when the room will not be used for 2 hours or more. The NIGHT temperature can be adjusted from 7 °C up to the COMFORT temperature minus 0.5 °C.

    Frost protection – ANTIFREEZE

    In ANTIFREEZE mode, the setting is fixed at 7 °C. The heating element is activated when the room temperature falls below this level. The mode is useful during holidays, in guest rooms or other infrequently used spaces.

    TIMER-2H – 2-hour rapid towel drying

    TIMER-2H mode is intended for faster drying of damp towels or short-term more intensive room heating. When this mode is selected, the appliance operates for up to 2 hours at the maximum 500 W power, up to a maximum room temperature of 30 °C. When the set time expires, the appliance automatically returns to the previously used mode.

    CHRONO – weekly programming

    CHRONO mode allows an individual 7-day heating schedule to be created. Each hour of every day of the week can be assigned:

    • COMFORT temperature – shown on the display as a filled time bar.
    • NIGHT temperature – shown on the display as an empty time bar.

    This makes it possible to automatically reduce the temperature at night or when the bathroom is not in use and return to the comfort temperature before the expected time of use.

    Open-window detection

    The open-window detection function responds to a sudden drop in room temperature. When such a change is detected, the heating element is temporarily switched off. Heating resumes when the rise in temperature indicates that the window has been closed.

    The function can be activated or disabled in the controller settings. When active, the Open Window icon is shown on the display.

    Button lock – KEY LOCK

    To prevent accidental changes to temperature or programmes, the control buttons can be locked. Holding [Prog] for approximately 3 seconds locks all buttons except [On/Standby]. A lock symbol appears on the display.
