INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SETTING UP

The integration process requires

1. Program the device using a PC (covered by this manual)
2. Program the Home Automation System (by 3rd party integration).
   This instruction manual will detail the steps to program the device using a PC.
   The Home Automation System programming needs to be performed by the integrator (others.)
   It is recommended the programming steps are performed on the Bromic Smart- HeatTM Link and controller remote first using a PC. This will ensure correct operation of devices and correct
   programming. Before The installation
   The Bromic controller remote has been pre-programmed at the factory to operate with the supplied controller.
   Check the operation of the remote and controller before beginning. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the controller.

IF THE PAIRED REMOTE DOES NOT WORK WITH THE CONTROLLER, THE Bromic

Smart-HeatTM Link PROGRAMMING STEPS BELOW WILL NOT WORK.

In this case, troubleshoot the controller and remote devices using the instruction manual supplied with the controller. The controller and paired remotes are pre-programmed with unique codes for each button operation.

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 – Connection of devices
Wire the Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link to a 5VDC supply, by connecting the RED (+) and BLACK (-) wires ensuring correct polarity.
5VDC adaptor and RS232 cable/RS232 convertor are not supplied byBromic

TO BE INSTALLED BY HOME INTEGRATOR

Connect the Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link DB9 to the PC via the COM port or to a USB to RX232 convertor

Check the connections before plugging in the power supply and turning on. If using a USB to RS232 convertor for the first time, install the USB driver by following the
instructions supplied with the USB product.

Instructions are based on Docklight© but any other product with RS232 debugging reading and writing features can be used.

Refer to the software end licence agreement before downloading and choosing to use this software tool. Bromic accepts no liability for the download or use of such 3rd party software.

STEP 2 – Software Configuration Configure the RS232 port with the

following settings:

To start communication, open the COM port that appears (COM port 3 in example).

STEP 3 – Understanding the Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link protocol

The Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link can learn operations from up to 50 remotes with each remote having 7 button operations/codes. (Each code is a button operation on the controller remote.)
The command protocol for the Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link is documented in the below manual. Please refer to this document for detailed understanding of the command structure, checksum calculation, and error codes. This is available from Bromic website: www.bromic.com/us/outdoor-heaters/technical-resources/

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 4 – Learning the ON operation
Example 1: Using a Bromic controller remote, set the Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link to learn on Location ID 500 for button operation ON.
NOTE: Each location ID can only be used to learn codes from one controller. Each controller can only be memorised to one location ID.
To set the Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link to memorise, use the command string A (hexadecimal 41)
To set the Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link to memorise at location ID 500 (hexadecimal 01 F4)
Calculate the checksum and use last two significant digits (Hexadecimal 36)
Data to send (hexadecimal): 41 01 F4 36

Now program this command into Docklight.

Press the Send button as shown below and the command window on right will display the send command blue – [TX] and return acknowledgement command red -[RX].

The return command 57 06 5D means it is waiting in LEARN MODE. Now press the power button on the controller remote twice in sequence.

The code is returned from the Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link and shown in red below.

The first 2 digits 52 (ASCII character R for receive)
The next 4 digits 01 F4 is the location ID (500 in decimal format)
The next 4 digits 00 02 is the channel number (2 in decimal format)
The last 2 digits is the checksum.

Now to determine the transmit code:

– First 2 byte’s is the character T for transmit. In Hexadecimal this is 54
– The next series of digits is the location ID and channel number 01 F4 00 02 in hexadecimal format.
– The last 2 digits is the calculated checksum (in hexadecimal)
=54+01+F4+00+02=14B but only the 2 least significant digits are used for checksum = 4B. Record this hexadecimal code 54 01 F4 00 02 4B and the button name/function. This will be required for programming into the Home Automation system.

STEP 5 – Test the Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link memorised command with your

Bromic Controller.

NOTE: Use only licenced electrical contractors to connect the Bromic controller. The product operates on hazardous high voltage.
Your Bromic controller is expected to be connected and powered on. Refer to operating instructions for the controller to ensure this is working.
Setup Docklight with a new command with the transmit code 54 01 F4 00 02 4B as shown below.

Turn off the heater using the remote OFF button and ensure the heater is off.
Now using Docklight©, press the send button for the newly created command. The command window in Docklight© will show the transmitted command in Blue – [TX] and return acknowledgement command in red – [RX].

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 6 – Repeat the same operation for other button operations.

Remember that this example uses the location ID 500 location and holds up to 7 codes. Any
ID location can be used from 201 to 2000 for other remotes/controllers. ID locations 1 to 200 are reserved.
Controllers can be paired to a common remote (series of common button/codes). Refer to controller manual for instructions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM

Now that all remote functions have been programmed into the
Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link device, the RS232 connection can be made to the Home Automation System.
Your Home Automation System Integrator is required to perform this operation and program the codes and button functions into the Home Automation Interface.
Contact your Home Automation System dealer for technical support.

TROUBLESHOOTING

It is recommended that all button operations are confirmed using the device connected to a PC before integration of commands to a Home Automation System.
The Docklight© command window is a useful tool to confirm the Bromic Smart- HeatTM Link is transmitting, receiving commands and any error codes that are generated. Refer to the Bromic Smart-HeatTM Link protocol document for command debugging. The error definition table is shown below.

IF THE PAIRED REMOTE DOES NOT WORK WITH THE CONTROLLER, THE Bromic
Smart-HeatTM Link TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS IN THE TABLE WILL NOT WORK. In this case, troubleshoot the controller and remote devices using the instruction manual supplied with the controller

to controller is ON

Check remote control operates controller

functions

Device is not plugged into RS232| Check RS232 connection working with PC first, then debug RS232 on Home automation system
Device transmission out of range| Move device within 30m of controller or check for radio interference from other devices
Command has not been

learned

| Check remote functions with controller Check remote code matches transmit code (as seen in image below) and if not re- program
Debug the transmission and receive commands using a RS232 transmission debugger and check for error codes
Check for correct use of command protocols and checksum calculation
Docklight returns ‘FF’| Device is not on| Check device is plugged into a power supply Check power to device is ON

Restart Docklight

‘Windows Error #5 – Access Denied’| RS232 connection from device lost| Check device RS232 is plugged in Check RS232 connection working with PC first, then debug RS2332 on Home automation system

Transmit code location ID (500 => 01 F4) does not match the received code location ID
(201 => 00 C9) signifying that the button/command was not learned.

To re-program, transmit the delete all command (found in the Protocol tool) which will clear all user programmed codes and start again.
