Water Proof
Sundirect infrared heaters have different IP ratings on different models.
Please make sure to only install heaters with IP44 rating in humid rooms.
Please carefully check the specifications to confirm if your heater is
suitable for installation in humid rooms. Sundirect shall not be liable for
any injuries or damages resulting from inadequate mounting or incorrect
positioning close to water sources.
How to care for your Sundirect heater
Cleaning
Always unplug your heater and let it cool down completely before cleaning.
Never dip into water and never splash water on it. Clean the heater with a
soft damp cloth. For glass models such as the GD-Plus, the MD-Plus series use
a soft cloth and glass cleaner. Never use a wet cloth and make sure to dry the
heater when clean with a dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive materials,
solvents or harsh cleaning sponges as this could cause scratches or other
irreparable damage. Before operating the heater again it must be completely
dry.
Using/Working
- Please note that the heater may discolor with use. This is due to airborne pollution and is not a fault. If you wish to add a picture print to your heater please contact a Sundirect dealer. Do not cover your heater with a picture foil and do not paint or print the heater yourself. This might cause damage to the heating element and will void your warranty.
- This heater might emit a slight smell during first-time use. This is normal due to the high surface temperature of the material. The smell will disappear after few times using the heater.
- When turning on or off the heater, the heater might have a small clicking noise, this is normal due to material expansion.
Repair
Repairs must be carried out by authorized Sundirect dealers or by Sundirect
directly. If you attempt to alter the product or to proceed with any repairs
yourself it will void your warranty.
Disposal
Sundirect infrared heaters are electric appliances and therefore electric
waste. At the end of its working life please dispose the heater in accordance
with local regulations concerning electric waste.
Installation & Operation Guide
Description
This heater is equipped with our built-in thermostat receiver – Receiver01 –
on the backside of the panel. Before starting the installation, we recommend
you to pair the receiver to our remote control as a first step. Follow the
guide bellow to finish the pairing to the Smart control system (e.g. Smart
1.0, Smart 1.0Pro or Smartplug).
On the right see the drawing of the signal lights and button of Receiver01.
- Pair status signal light (green light)
- Heating status signal light (red light)
- “P” button
- Power switch
Pairing to Sundirect Smart control system
- Step 1: Plug your heater to an electrical outlet, switch the Power switch of Receiver01 on, double press the “P” button and the “Pair signal light” will start to flashing and ready for pairing.
- Step 2: Power off the remote control Smart 1.0/Smart 1.0Pro/Smartplug, long press the “SET” button. The “PAIR” signal will show on the screen of the remote control. Wait until the “Pair signal light” stop flashing and glow green to finish the pairing. Now the pairing process is finished and the Receiver01 will only be commanded by the Smart controller.
Note: After the paring process and once Receiver01 and Smart 1.0/Smart 1.0Pro/Smartplug are paired, the pair signal light will always be on and the Receiver01 will be only commanded by the Smart 1.0/Smart 1.0Pro/Smartplug. One Receiver01 can only pair to one controller, however, One controller can be paired to several Receiver01 if they are in the same room.
Extra Safety Protection:
The heater is equipped with the Sundirect “Extra Safety Protection” function,
which will automatically turn off the heater if it lost the signal from the
Smart controller for more than one hour. And it will be automatically
connected once the Smart controller is within the communication distance.
Bypass mode
Long-press the “P” button on Receiver01 until the “Pair signal light” off and
the “Heating status signal light “on, the panel will be reset to bypass mode.
On the bypass mode, the Receiver01 is disabled and the panel is connected
directly to the electricity.
Installation
- Note: The kit supplied in the package is designed for mounting on a solid ceiling. If mounted onto other types of ceilings, you will need appropriate fixings (not supplied). Please make sure the ceiling is safe to mount. We highly recommend having the panel installed by a qualified electrician or installer authorized by Sundirect.
- The SC series is a hot-temperature infrared heater. It has a surface temperature of 300-350°C when in operation. Please pay special attention and mount them out of reach. On the left, see the drawing of the mounting requirements. When installing the space heater to a ceiling or wall please make sure to keep a distance of at least 20cm to the neighbouring walls or ceilings and a minimum distance from the floor of 2.2m.
- The heater is designed to be used in outdoor areas with minimal air movement. If used in areas with strong winds, please note that the heating performance might decrease. As a solution, we suggest mounting the heater closer to the objects you wish to heat to achieve better performance. Please make sure the heater is protected from rain, it can withstand splash water only.
The mounting kit included in this box contains:
- Part A: 2x mounting handles
- Part B: 2x mounting handles
- Part C: 8x screws
- Part D: 8x wing nuts

- Step 1: Slide the mounting handles (part A) into the rail on the back of the heater from the opposite side of the cables. Make sure both handles face into the same direction.
- Step 2: Drill four holes into the wall/ceiling, two for each mounting handle (part B). Use the mounting handles as stencils and level them to make sure the heater will hang straight on the wall/ceiling. You can chose the distance between the two handles to your liking but make sure the distance doesn’t exceed the length of the heater. Remove the nut form the wall/ceiling anchors (part E) and place the wall/ceiling anchors into the drilled wholes.
- Step 3: Place the mounting handles (part B) onto the wall/ceiling anchors and secure them with the wall/ceiling anchor’s nut (part E) using a wrench.
- Step 4: Place the heater against the wall/ceiling and attach each of the mounting handles that are mounted on the wall (part B) with the mounting handles attached on the heater (part A).
