INSTALLATION

SET UP

1. Carefully remove any packing material from the induction charger and check loose packing material for small parts or accessories.
   Inspect the charger for concealed damage before placing packing material aside. Keep the packaging until you are confident with the equipment performance.

2. MAKE SURE THAT INCOMING VOLTAGE MATCHES THE CHARGER REQUIREMENTS. A product identification label on the bottom of the unit specifies the operating voltage, current, frequency, phase, and maximum wattage of the charger. Plugging or wiring the charger into less voltage than the charger is rated may significantly decrease the performance of the unit or damage internal electrical components.

3. Do not place foreign objects on the charger, or between the Dinex base and the charger surface. Foreign objects may heat within the induction field and cause damage to the charger surface and/or base.

4. Do not use any Smart•Therm STS III charger that has a damaged cord or plug. Consult the warranty and follow the instructions for service.

5. Do not let the power cord touch hot surfaces.

6. The center of the charger may get hot to the touch after hours of continuous use. Use caution when loading and unloading bases.

7. The charger requires ample airflow to cool the internal electronic components. Air is pulled in from the bottom front and exhausted to the back. Please assure that nothing obstructs the airflow. Allow at least two inches from a wall or partition.

8. A dedicated electrical circuit is required for each Smart•Therm STS III charger.

! IMPORTANT: Every installation site has different electrical wiring requirements. Because many different local codes exist, it is the owner and installer’s responsibility to comply with all federal, state, and local codes. Dinex is not responsible for any consequential damages, either expressed or implied, as a result of failure to comply with installation requirements.
! CAUTION: Please do not attempt to open the charger or perform service of any kind. This product can only be serviced by a Dinex Authorized Service Agent or designated Dinex personnel. Contact Dinex at 1.888.673.4639 for service information.
! CAUTION: Any installation not matching the requirements discussed in this manual will automatically void the product’s warranty.

The Smart•Therm STS III Charger can be installed on top of a flat, level countertop or shelving, being careful to maintain at least two inches of clearance on all sides of the charger for cooling. Do not place over paperor loose material that may inhibit air flow  into the bottom air intakes.
Consider the Dinex® Induction Stand (Accessory product)
DXPICTABLEM (Mobile with casters) DXPICTABLE (Not mobile).

1. The charger must be plugged into an appropriate grounded power receptacle. Check rating plate on the charger to verify correct voltage.
   ! IMPORTANT: Each charger should be connected to its own  dedicated circuit. They should not be connected to circuits sharing compressors or other heavy current draw devices (i.e. plate heaters,steam tables, etc.)

2. Do not move the Smart•Therm STS III Charger when it is electrically connected.

3. An air filter is mounted to the bottom of the unit. Assure it is seated and free of excessive debris or grease.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Smart•Therm STS III Induction System

1. Make sure that your Smart•Therm STS III Charger is plugged into an energized circuit as described in the previous section. This should be a dedicated circuit, not shared with any devices utilizing motors, compressors, or components requiring a heavy  current draw.
   User Interface:
   POWER key will turn the unit on and off.
   LCD DISPLAY provides feedback on the status of bases charging and equipment operation.

2. The Smart•Therm STS III Charger is turned on by pressing the POWER button on the right front of the user interface for 2 seconds until the display lights up and 1 audible beep is heard. The LCD display will show “WAITING FOR BASE” indicating the Smart•Therm STS III Charger is turned on and ready for use.

3. Place a Dinex Smart base on the charger within the positioning rails, making sure the base is seated flat on the top. Charging will start automatically.

4. The LCD display will show “CHARGING” and a status bar that will increase through the charging process until filled when a base is fully charged. If the base is removed prior to the status bar being completely filled, the base will not be fully charged and  may result in a lower delivery temperature.
   ! INFORMATION: The display will flash “BASE NOT READY” and you will hear continuous beeps for 30 seconds if you remove the base before it is fully charged.

5. Your Smart•Therm STS III charger and Smart Base system uniquely knows the heat level of your bases. You may return a base to the charger at any time, and your Smart•Therm STS III charger will top off the heat in your base to assure proper delivery temperature.

6. If the phrase “WAITING FOR BASE” still appears after placing a base on the charger, remove the base and reposition – assuring the base is seated flat to the top, and within the positioning rails.

7. After the status bar is completely filled the charger will display “BASE READY” and beep 4 times indicating that base is at full temperature. Charge time for a base will be between 16 to 20 seconds. Low incoming voltage may increase charging time.
   ! INFORMATION: Fluctuations in voltage may affect heating time.

8. If a base is left on the charger top after fully charged, the charger will keep the base fully charged for up to 90 minutes by adding a small charge every 30 seconds. One audible beep will sound at every small charge. If the base is not removed after 90  minutes, the charger will beep 2 times and shut off.

9. If the charger has no base on its top and sees no activity after 10 minutes, it will beep 2 times and shut off.

10. Power off the Smart•Therm STS III Charger by depressing the POWER button.
