V1.8 Smartbox Maxi Controller Owner’s Manual

Manual Smartbox: Smartbox user manual
Software version 1.8

Preface

The Smartbox can be configured in 4 different operating modes. Each mode has its own unique functionality.
The smartbox can read out various different sensors. Analogue as well digital sensors can be monitored. Different inverters can be controlled by the Smartbox V1.0. Three mains outputs can be controlled independently by the Smartbox V1.0 The behaviour of the mains outputs depends on the chosen operating mode of the Smartbox v1.0 Mode Fanauxbox retro
Mode Humidifier
Mode Fanpumpbox
Mode Fanpumpbox retro
Before starting always make sure the correct operating mode is selected, confirmed and loaded.
Setup mode
– The Smartbox V1.0 can be programmed in 4 different modes. To select a mode follow the next steps
1 Touch the up key several times until SELECT MODE pops up on de display.

–  2  Touch the enter button to enter the menu
– 3  Select other mode by touching the up key several times until the desired mode is showing in the display.

– 4 To store the mode in the Smartbox V1.0 touch the down key.

The Fanauxbox V1.0 will now store this mode in to the memory. Dots will be showed on the display during the programming.
To use the smar tbox as the previous fan-Auxbox choose the MODE FANAUXBOX RETRO.

Mode Fanauxbox retro General description

3 inputs are responsible for the status of the outputs OUT1 – OUT2 and OUT3 The inputs are on the left hand side of the Smartbox V1.0. Each output can deliver 15A. The sum of currents may not exceed 15A in total.
Input RJ22 cable is connected to maxi controller
Out 1 output is connected to a fan (slow/fast)
Out 2 output is connected to a humidifier or dehumidifier (on/off)
Out 3 output is connected to a heater (on/off)

Mode Humidifier General description

The humidifier configuration regulates the humidity by vaporising water and distribute it in the environment direct, through ducting or an air distribution hose.
Water is being pored over anti-bacterial threaded pads, through these pads warm dry air will be introduced by a powerful fan, distributing colder moist air into the environment. (adiabatic cycle) A number of parameters can be changed to maintain maximal performance. Also extra features have been added to make the air more homogeneous after getting the environment to the desired humidity.

Mode Fanpumpbox General description
– The fanpumpbox controls the liquid temperature by two complementing systems. One is the fan on the cooler and two the pump witch circulates the liquid in the system. Two NTC temperature sensors can be added to the system as well as two pressure sensors.
For now only the low pressure sensor is being monitored (low pressure = pump off). The Temperature sensors are named Tin and Tout. The fan and pump can be controlled trough inverter or trough Mains output on the front. OUT1 for the fan and OUT2 for the pump.
Note! When pump is connected to OUT 2, the pump control is on/off

– Tin P1.
– Tout P2.
– Port inverter fan P3.
– Port inverter pump P4.
– Pressure sensor High P5. (option)
– Pressure sensor Low P6.
– Input RJ22 (side) to connect pump-sensor

Sensor location:

Pump sensor
Connect the pump sensor (compressor on signal) on the connection bar inside the electric compartment of the Opticlimate.
The sensor latches must be connected to screw terminal 7 & N.
Connect the sensor with the smartbox input using the supplied communication cable (RJ22)

In a multiple Opticlimate setup, daisy chain each pumpsensor with the next one using a communication cable between sensors.
Pressure sensor

The pressure sensor LOW must be installed on the pump suction-side (before the pump) The pressure sensor HIGH must be installed on the pump pressure side (behind the pump) When the pressure at the pressure LOW side is lower than 0,5Bar, the pump will stop to avoid pump damage.

Temperature sensors

The temperature sensor Tin must be installed on the pipe going into the cooler (coming from the pump) near the water cooler.
The temperature sensor Tout must be installed on the pipe coming out of the cooler (going to Opticlimate)
Tin is warmer than Tout in an operating system. Follow the yellow arrows on the copper piping of the cooler to determen what is in and what is out.
Instal the sensors with the cable facing down to avoid wrong sensor reading due to air pockets trapped in the piping.

Humidity Sensor
Install the humidity sensor near the location where humidity is critical.
– Avoid direct heat radiation from lights or sun.
– Avoid installing the sensor near humidifier air exhaust. (cycling)

Water leak sensor
Install water sensor contact points near the floor.
When the contacts sense water due to a water leak, the display from the smartbox flashes and water supply is shut.

Inverter installation
Install inverters firmly to a wall in a dry and condensation free environment. Do not use an enclosure.
Open cover to make the connections.

Connecting smartbox to inverter (RS485) Use supplied dedicated cable with labelled connections between smartbox and inverter
