• Optional temperature monitor (sold separately)

Installation
The Solaira SMaRT 16-DV Control can be installed in a vented location and does not have to be installed in the immediate area of the heaters.

Occupancy Sensor Installation
If you decide to utilize the optional Occupancy Sensor (sold separately), follow these guidelines:

• Mount the occupancy sensor 8′ (2.5 + meters) above the floor.
• Ceiling mounting is preferred but not essential.
• Do not mount the occupancy sensor directly in line with the heaters output, highly reflective surfaces, radiators, thermostatically controlled heaters, or open doorways with people walking past.

Controller Mounting
Do not mount the controller directly on any flammable material. The controller must be mounted via standoffs (supplied & specified by others) to aid in heat dissipation, as per local building and NEC code.

Initial Start Up with Optional Occupancy Sensor

INTRODUCTION

• The Solaira SMaRT 16-DV Control has a 1 to 5 step setting allowing you to find the optimum comfort setting in your specific area.
• To increase output to full output, press and release red button.
• To increase in increments, press and hold the red button until the desired number is reached.
• To reduce output to OFF, press and release red button.
• To reduce in increments, press and hold the red button until the desired number is reached

FEATURES

• Variably control your Solaira° heaters, up to a max load of 16A.
• Weatherproof control for exposed, wet conditions (it is the electrician responsibility to assure correct water tight connection, this may necessitate replacing included watertight strain relief)
• Variable Control – Ability to adjust output to desired comfort level
• Soft Start – Zero current switching point which can extend emitter lamp life
• Input for Temperature Monitoring Accessory – Solaira SMaRT 16-DV Variable control is input ready for a local (on controller) temperature monitor that is sold separately.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES (Sold Separately)

WARNING: The SMaRT-16DV can be used with the following approved accessories. Use of any other control Interface is not recommended.

• Handheld IR Remote (SMRTVMT): Is an optional handheld remote that communicated via IR to either the SMaRT Controller or Optional Wall Switch (SM-WSD). Must be in line of sight of the controller.
• Wall Switch (SM-WSD): Is a mounted wall switch unit that provides control of a the SMaRT-16DV, that may be remotely located. The remote-control wall switch unit is supplied mounted on a single gang faceplate, ready to be fitted to a single gang certified J-box. As supplied the unit must be installed indoors in a dry environment, if the unit needs to be installed outdoors or in a wet environment it must be installed onto a certified J-box, which is itself installed inside a water resistant, IP65 rated enclosure and to all appropriate local and NEC codes. The SM-WSD can also interface with the Handheld IR Remote SMRTVMT, which must be in line of sight of the SM-WSD.
• Occupancy SENSOR (SMRTOCC): A passive infrared (PIR) external sensor, with a range of approximately 12m, can monitor the selected area ensuring heaters only switch on when the zone is occupied.
• Temperature Monitoring Accessory: This will allow user to pre-set the minimum temperature level that will allow the controller to operate when a temperature monitor is purchased separately. Note: the temperature monitor is calibrated in Celsius; please use the following table to aid in set up:

Temperature Monitor (SMRTVTEM-R ): The controller can be equipped with a remotely located temperature sensor that monitors the temperature of the desired zone and inhibits the heaters when the temperature exceeds a pre- determined set point of between 41°F (5°C) to 77°F (25°C).

WARNING: Use of standalone Solaira SMRTOCC40 and SMRTOCC60 are for standalone controls ONLY and may not be paired with SMaRT16-DV. FAILURE TO COMPNY MAY RESULT IN CONTROLLER DAMAGES.
WARNING: Solaira SMaRT 16-DV Variable control is a high power electrical device and MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE.

INSTALLATION

The control can be installed in a convenient VENTED location and does not have to be installed in the immediate area of the heaters. The unit is shipped with the Occupancy sensor/pushbutton input fitted with a wire link which continually re-triggers the “ON” timer so that it never expires.
If the user decides to utilize the optional Occupancy Sensor (Sold Separately), the occupancy sensor should be mounted 8’ (2.5 + Meters) above of the floor. Ceiling mounting is preferred but not essential. The Optional Occupancy monitor must not be mounted directly in line with the heaters output, highly reflective surfaces, radiators or other thermostatically controlled heaters or open doorways with people walking past.

WARNING: CONTROLLER MOUNTING

DO NOT mount the controller directly on any flammable material i.e. wood or any other combustible. Controller must be mounted via standoffs (supplied & specified by others) to aid in heat dissipation, as per local building and NEC code

INITIAL START UP WITH OPTIONAL OCCUPANCY SENSOR

• Occupancy Sensor (SMRTOCC) (sold separately), it takes 60 seconds to set before detection takes place
• Optional Occupancy Sensor continues to monitor the area and will reset to the set time every time it detects movement.
• Before testing ensure the wiring is correct.
• Temperature trip point has already been pre-set at the factory.
• Timer is preset to 1 minute but can be adjusted using timer trimmer potentiometer to 1-60 minutes.
• The expected detection area can now be “walked tested” using the diagram shown in mind. The area should be crossed in various directions to ensure coverage is as expected.

DISPLAY FEATURES

You can check the remote control is transmitting by observing the “.” (dot) flashing rapidly.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

• Heater does not come on, t in display….The heater pre-set trip temperature IS ABOVE THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. This can be adjusted using the temperature set point potentiometer.
• Heater does not come on, flashing DOT…The controller is waiting for input from optional occupancy sensor. If your system does not utilize the occupancy sensor, then wire jumper (factory installed) must be in place in PIR SENSOR INPUT on pins SIG IN and COM. If the jumper is not in place, controller will not operate.
