You tried googling the make mate? just have to try a spare heater i guess and see how the indicator light reacts? does it say what wattage it takes up to? (just thinking on/offs only seem to go up to 300w, pulse and dimmers up to 600w)

ok just found this

When Volts and Amperes are Known
POWER (WATTS) = VOLTS x AMPERES
  • We have a small server with a nameplate shows 2.5 amps. Given a normal 120 Volt, 60 hz power source and the ampere reading from equipment, make the following calculation:
POWER (WATTS) = 120 * 2.5 ANSWER: 300 WATTS

so i guess its 300 watts so i take it its a standard on off

mains is 240V over here dude.... so your calculations are wrong...
should be..
240 x 2.5 = 600Watts... Unless you are in america that is..
