Introduction

The SMRTTIM60 and SMRTTIM40 are part of a family of standalone controllers designed to provide energy saving when used with quartz infrared halogen lamps or other heating and lighting products. These TIMER model switch the lamps on for a predetermined time period of between 1 and 60 minutes. The microcontroller-based unit incorporates zero-voltage switching and a soft- start function to eliminate the lamps’ initial high inrush current – potentially increasing lamp life by as much as 30%. Installation of the unit is simple and once installed is relatively maintenance-free.

Product Features

Energy saving – provides heat for a pre-determined time period.
Extends lamp Life.
Soft-start/zero-voltage switch-off.
Low-cost.

Applications: Bus stops, patio areas, smoking shelters, restaurants, warehouses, workshops, warehouses.

Installation And Wiring

Installation

Important: Read carefully the following information before installing the unit.

The SMRTTIM60 and SMRTTIM40 should be fixed securely using the four mounting holes accessible from the front of the unit. Remove the lid to access the mounting holes. To ease installation, a mounting template is provided opposite to locate the 4 mounting hole centres.

The Solaira SMaRT Timer is a high-power electrical device and MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN WITH REFERENCE TO LOCAL, STATE/PROVINCAL AND FEDERAL NEX XODES AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS.

Warning! Isolate the mains supply before commencing any work on this unit. Ensure all earth wires are connected to maintain earth continuity to the lamp fittings.
Warning! Disconnect the power supply before commencing any work on the unit. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or fatality.

Wiring SMRTTIM60

The unit is fitted with three cable glands. Only one cable should be fitted per strain relief to prevent degrading the unit’s water resistant IP rating. To connect 4 lamps, refer to the Wiring Diagram on the next page for an alternative configuration using two junction boxes.
The power supply connects to the terminal block marked ‘LINE’. Connect the supply LIVE to the ‘L’ terminal, NEUTRAL or LINE 2 to the ‘N’ terminal and GROUND to the ‘E’ terminal.
The heaters connect to the terminal block marked ‘LOAD’. Connect the load LIVE to the ‘L’ terminal, NEUTRAL or LINE 2 to the ‘N’ terminal and Ground to the ‘E’ terminal.

Important: Ensure all ground wires are connected to maintain ground continuity to the heater fittings.

Check all wiring and make sure the cable glands are tightened.

IMPORTANT! When wall mounting, the unit must be orientated with the cable glands facing down.

Dimensions

Wiring SMRTTIM40

The unit is fitted with two cable glands. Only one cable should be fitted per gland to prevent degrading the unit’s IP rating. When fitting two lamps, refer to ‘Wiring Diagram’ for an alternative wiring configuration using a junction box.
The power supply connects to the terminal block marked ‘LINE’. Connect the supply LIVE to the ‘L’ terminal, NEUTRAL to the ‘N’ terminal and EARTH to the ‘E’ terminal.
The heaters connect to the terminal block marked ‘LOAD’. Connect the load LIVE to the ‘L’ terminal, NEUTRAL to the ‘N’ terminal and EARTH to the ‘E’ terminal. If two lamps are to be fitted they must be wired in parallel.
Check all wiring and make sure the cable glands are tightened.
