Right way to model a "Compact Electric Fan Heater" in IDF

I'm working with OpenStudio SketchUp Plugin, to generate the IDF associated to a building.

I already added a VRF HVAC to the building; now, I'd like to add a "MICRORAPID T 1000-V0" (a compact electric fan heater) to a room (thermal zone).

Which is the best way to model it inside the IDF?

I thought about ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:Convective:Electric, but I'm not sure.
