agree  chris collister: "heater unit" is slightly less vague. But see ref. above for what a radiant "cassette" looks like

Notes to answerer
Asker: I found this too, Kashew. I fear that the cassette referred to here is not a heating device but some sort of programming unit


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  chris collister: I fear not: these appear to be radiant panel heaters, either electric, gas or hot water.
