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 models 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.
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 to locate the 4 mounting hole centres.
IMPORTANT! The unit must be orientated with the cable glands facing down.
Wiring
SAFETY FIRST
The Solaira SMaRT Timer is a high-power electrical device and MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN WITH REFERENCE TO LOCAL, STATE/PROVINCIAL 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 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.

Inforesight Consumer Products Inc. assumes no responsibility for the heaters or controller electrical plan or installation.
⚠️ WARNING: SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR, DISCONNECT ALL POWER PRIOR TO SERVICE
Diagram Description: Illustrates the connection of a 230VAC power supply (LIVE, NEUTRAL, EARTH) to the 'LINE' terminal block and four 1500W Infra-red Heater Lamps to the 'LOAD' terminal block. IP65 junction boxes are used for lamp connections. The diagram details the internal terminal layout (L, N, E for LINE and LOAD) and includes CE marking.
Commissioning SMRTTIM60
Set the on-time pre-set (VR2) to a time period of between 1 and 60 minutes. Replace the lid and switch on the mains supply to the unit. Press the push-button on the front of the unit to switch the lamps on.
IMPORTANT! When wall mounting, the unit must be orientated with the cable glands facing down.
SMRTTIM60 Mounting Template
Diagram Description: A template showing dimensions of 115mm x 115mm with four mounting holes for installation. It warns that drilling through the enclosure will invalidate the warranty.
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.
