HEATSTRIP® Wall Controller with Remote

TT-MTM2 Wall Controller This controller is a custom-designed and manufactured controller for HEATSTRIP heaters. It has been designed for ease of use and to provide low running costs of your heater. It provides both temperature control (allowing the user to turn the heat output up or down depending on the ambient temperature and conditions) and a timer for automatic heater shut-off operation. The timer function has 4 settings: 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours or constantly on. This feature is ide-al for applications such as BBQ areas, alfresco areas, restaurant dining, assembly line production etc. When continuous heat is not required. The timer also reduces the likelihood of heat-ers being inadvertently left turned on.
Depending on the ambient temperature there may be a requirement to control the heat output of the heater. The controller has 3 settings, they are High, Medium and
Low.
The controller allows a combination of the multiple timers (1/2/4 hour) and heat outputs (High/Medium/Low)

---|---|---|---|---
TT-MTM| 240| 16| 150 x 95 x 55| 0.3

Controlling multiple heaters
It is possible to use one wall controller to control multiple heaters. The wall controller is rated at 16 Amps and 240 volts.

Remote Pairing
All units operate using the same remote control frequency, therefore, multiple wall controllers can be operated using a single remote control. The remote will function at distances of over 8m when used in a straight line, This distance reduces when used at an angle.

Operation

Press the “On/Off” button to turn the power on and off. Once turned on, the controller will default to the High power setting and will be permanently on (no timer function). Press the “POWER” button to select the desired power setting by cycling through HIGH—MEDIUM -LOW. When the power setting is high the controller will provide continuous power. When the power setting is at “MEDIUM” or “LOW” the output alternates between being on and off so that it delivers a lower output to the heater. Press the “TIMER” button to set the timer to 1,2,4 hour or permanently on. When permanently on, one of the TIMER LEDs will be illuminated. Once the timer is selected, the timer will be started immediately. When the timer has ended, the power will turn off and all LEDs will also turn off.

Thermal Cut-Out Protection

This controller is protected by a thermal cut-out switch. This switch is activated when the temperature of the controller is too high. The controller will cut all power until it has sufficiently cooled. Once it cools the unit will continue working as usual.

Warm Up Mode

The controller is programmed to operate continuously (High setting) for the first 15 minutes of opera-tion regarding less of the selected power setting, this is to allow time for the heater to warm up. After this time it will operate as selected.

Safety

The TT-MTM controller is to be mounted indoors it needs to be away from wet conditions. Ensure the connections are properly connected. The controller needs to be installed according to your local wiring guidelines and regulations . Do not allow any cables, furnishings, flammable materials or other items to obstruct the vents of the controller. Never block the air vents of the controller.
Never block the air vents of the controller. Do not put anything in the vents of the controller.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (Including children) with reduced physical, sensory or intellectual capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

Maintenance

The TT-MTM Controller is made from durable materials, however regular care and maintenance of your controller will help prolong the life of the product. It is recommended that you dust the controller to keep the surface clean. Cleaning at least every three months will reduce the amount of dust build-up and keep it looking at its best. Do not use any abrasive materials or products to clean the controller, this includes solvents, citrus-based cleaners or other harsh cleaning products. Do not use water or a damp cloth to clean the controller. The remote uses a CR2025 3V lithium battery. If the red light on the remote stops working then change the battery.

Controller Wiring Example

The TT-MTM2 Controller required sufficient air circulation in order to provide continuous operation on the high power load setting. The vents must always remain clear; never block or cover the vents. An ideal controller installation will provide significant space around the back of the controller. Installing into restricted spaces, such as brick walls, may result in overheating if adequate ventilation is not provided.

Heater wiring schematic diagrams

It is recommended to install an ON/OFF isolation switch before the controller and ensure the unit is turned OFF after use.
Multiple heaters can be operated using a single controller, however the maximum current rating of 16A must not be exceeded. For direct wiring to the controller, the maximum is generally on heater unit unless the combined maximum current is less than 16A. For example, 2x THH1800A can be connected directly to the controller.
Below are example circuits indicating potential installation configurations.
Always check with your electrician and ensure all wiring is in accordance with local regulations.
