WARNING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR, DISCONNECT ALL POWER BEFORE SERVICE.

INTRODUCTION

The Solaira SMaRT 34-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 the 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 the 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 34A.
• Weatherproof control for exposed, wet conditions (it is the electrician’s responsibility to ensure 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
• Temperature Monitoring – Solaira SMaRT 34-DV Variable control is equipped with a local (on controller) temperature monitor. This will allow a user to pre-set the minimum temperature level that will allow the controller to operate.

Note: the temperature monitor is calibrated in Celsius; please use the following table to aid in setting up:

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES (Sold Separately)
WARNING: The SMaRT-34DV can be used with the following approved accessories. The use of any other control interface is not recommended.

• Handheld IR Remote (SMRTVMT): This is an optional handheld remote that communicates via IR to either the SMaRT Controller or Optional Wall Switch (SM-WSD). Must be in the line of sight of the controller.

• Wall Switch (SM-WSD): This is a mounted wall switch unit that provides control of the SMaRT-34DV, which 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 the 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.

• Remote 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 SMaRT34-DV. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN CONTROLLER DAMAGES.
WARNING: Solaira SMaRT 34-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 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 monitor should be mounted 8’ (2.5 + Meters) above of the floor. Ceiling mounting is preferred but not essential. The optional Occupancy Sensor must not be mounted directly in line with the heater’s 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. 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

• Occupancy Sensor (SMRTOCC) (sold separately), it takes 60 seconds to set before detection takes place
• The 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.
• The temperature trip point has already been pre-set at the factory.
• The timer is preset to 1 minute but can be adjusted using a 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

TROUBLESHOOTING

• The 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.
• The heater does not come on, flashing DOT…The controller is waiting for input from the optional occupancy sensor. If your system does not utilize the occupancy sensor, then the 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, the controller will not operate.
