Why Use a BioSmart®Heater
BioSmart® heating systems are the ultimate in green technology engineering -- easy
to install, exceptionally economical and extremely quiet, they produce comfortable,
healthy, therapeutic far infrared heat. BioSmart® heaters also purify the air that is
processed through them, making them a sanitary source of heat.
Far infrared heat is a highly efcient and therapeutic heat source. By virtue of its
shorter wavelength, far infrared is able to penetrate the body and solid objects
faster than conventional radiant heat. BioSmart® heating systems use this property
of far infrared to evenly and comfortably heat a room. Far infrared heat is the most
comfortable source of heat and has been used for years as a therapeutic treatment for
various conditions including muscle and joint pain, stiffness, and cardiovascular and
general circulation problems.
Producing far infrared heat requires localized generation of infrared wave in order to
optimize the efciency and money/energy savings produced when using a far infrared
heating source. This design advantage eliminates the need for a ductwork system to
distribute the heat through various rooms of a home or ofce. Eliminating ductwork
also eliminates the bacteria, dust, pollen and mold that accumulates in a conventional
air conditioning and heating duct system. These pollutants can cause irritation and
a potential health problem, especially for those with respiratory sensitivities and
allergies, including asthma.
Energy Saving Benets
It requires less energy to heat the room with far infrared heat than with other
conventional heating sources. Additionally, room temperatures of 68 degrees (F) with
far infrared heat feel like 72 degrees (F), so you can set the thermostat back 4-5 degrees
and experience the same comfort levels utilizing less energy. The temperature on the
oor and at the ceiling remains the same without any supplemental fan circulation
to keep the temperature balanced throughout the room, even in rooms with high
ceilings.
With a BioSmart® heating system you can heat only those spaces which are in use
and require the heat. Zoned heating is as much as 50% more economical to use when
the entire home or ofce does not require heat in all areas 100% of the time. The
cost savings from this feature alone makes initial installation of the BioSmart® heating
system pay for itself in a matter of months. If you really want to save on energy costs,
heating with BioSmart® far infrared heat is going to be spectacular.
Quiet Operation
BioSmart® fan systems are virtually silent, distributing heat at over 150 cubic feet per
minute per heating unit. They are quieter than forced air systems and do not have
the typical cracking and popping sounds heard with baseboard heaters. When rated
against other conventional wall heating systems, there is no comparison to the quiet
operation of the BioSmart® fan system. BioSmart® fans operate at 18 dB compared to
the typical 65 dB for other wall heating systems.

Better Heat Distribution
The nature of far infrared waves allows the heater to be installed higher on the wall
than conventional wall heater systems without compromising the transfer of the heat
to the oor. The advantage of the higher installation on the wall guarantees that
furniture and other obstructions to the airow from the heater are eliminated. Child
tampering is also eliminated.
Even distribution of infrared wave is also assured since the air space above the
furniture is virtually unrestricted. When conventional heat sources are vented through
the ceiling to save on construction costs, the heat remains near the ceiling and must
be pushed down with ceiling fans. This is not required with infrared heat.
Accurate Temperature
BioSmart® heating systems utilize state of the art electronics and internal electronic
thermostats for pin-point, one-degree accuracy. That means more accurate control of
comfort level settings and a warm, comfortable environment for you and your family.
Cost-Effective
Components in the BioSmart® heating system are designed to last longer than other
wall heaters. BioSmart® warranty coverage and service procedures are simple to follow
and the heaters can be serviced in ten minutes or less should repair be required. The
cost to purchase and install a BioSmart® infrared heating system for your entire home
is usually much cheaper than the cost of installing a central forced air heating system.
Patented Proprietary Technology
BioSmart® heaters contain a proprietary, high-efciency far infrared heat exchanger
which produces more far infrared heat her kilowatt than conventional ceramic,
quartz, or carbon plates. Patent pending coverage of more than 30 distinct features in
the BioSmart® heater are what makes the BioSmart® technology a truly unique energy
efcient heat source for your home or ofce.
Quality Assurance
BioSmart® heating systems come with C-TUV-US certications representing equivalent
approvals both in UL and CSA classications. BioSmart® heaters are manufactured
in Taiwan and China through AcePower Electronics, which includes a consortium
of engineers, vendors and manufacturers. AcePower Electronics is also a certied
ISO 9000 manufacturer and the exclusive manufacturer for BioSmart Technologies
heaters and air puriers.

How many units do I need?
When determining the number of units you will need, take into consideration:
• The insulation factor, and window size & placement
• The mean outside temperature during the coldest days of the year
• The size of each room
• The overall size of the home
• The number of oors involved
• The entrance and egress points
In lieu of overall engineering calculations and thermal loss calculations, a general rule
of thumb can be applied to determine the number of units you will need if using the
in-wall unit as a primary heating source:
New construction (coldest day above 5 degrees), standard insulation, one
window per room:
Room size up to 500 sq. feet: 1 unit
Room size above 500 to 1000 sq. feet: 2 units
New construction (coldest day below 5 degrees) & all remodels, standard
insulation:
Room size up to 350 sq. feet: 1 unit
Room size above 350 to 700 sq. feet: 2 units
Hallways and Nooks: 1 unit per 400 sq. feet
Closets and Bathrooms: 1 unit per 400 sq. feet
Installation Instructions

Heater Wiring
Regardless of the model chosen, there are 5 wires inside the base of the heater which must be
wired correctly. Three wire contacts are required to obtain the power source. The wiring code
is the same for 120 volt units.
The heater must be provided with a disconnect device (switch/breaker) from the supply mains
having a contact separation in all poles that provide full disconnection with a contact separation
of at least 3 mm.
On the large in-wall unit the black is hot, the red is neutral, and the green is ground. On the
small in-wall unit the black is hot, the blue is neutral and the green is ground. On both units
the yellow and white wires go directly to the thermostat.
No external power supply is needed. Any attempt to attach an external power supply will cause
damage to the internal components and will result in product failure.
When connecting multiple units to a single thermostat, the units must be connected in parallel
with all yellow and all white wire leads connected to their same respective terminals on the
thermostat.
Failure to follow these guidelines will result in internal transformer failure and product failure.
Typical wiring procedure using conventional 12/2 wire on a large heater.
Thermostat Wiring
The heater is equipped with micro-voltage thermostat leads. Any low-voltage micro or milliamp
thermostat will operate the two thermostat wires. No voltage is required to the leads and no
external power supply is needed.
The thermostat should be located at least 5 feet from the heater.

For Your Safety/Warning
Do not place objects in front of infrared wall units that have been mounted lower than those
parameters suggested in the installation instructions. Doing so will cause the unit to overheat,
which will trigger the high temperature limit switch, resulting in a potential service call to reset/
replace the switch.
For Best Performance
It is recommended that the air ow pattern in the room becomes circular. This is accomplished
by mounting the heater to one side of the room, as per the illustration, in order to create a
circular ow around the room.
Where multiple units are installed in larger rooms, this circular pattern can be maintained by
positioning the units to complement the air ows. This is accomplished by positioning them in
opposite corners of the room.
Operating Instructions
The units are self-regulating. Temperature is controlled via a thermostat located preferably on
the opposite wall from the heating unit. The heater fans will turn on when the power to the
infrared heating elements turn on. After the heating elements have come up to full temperature,
a third fan will turn on to increase the airow into the room. This third fan will remain running
even after the heating elements have been shut down by the thermostat, in order to distribute
the remaining heat in the heating elements into the room.
Temperatures can be regulated from a central control (sold separately) or the heating units can
also be independently turned on or off from a remote location via a central on/off switch for
each unit. The switch is connected between the low-voltage thermostat control and one of the
lead wires to the thermostat from the thermostat contact on the heater.
Maintenance
Routinely inspect the air registers on the infrared unit to make sure that there is no dust
accumulation. Vacuum as you would any conventional heat or air conditioning duct.
It is suggested that an annual dusting of the ceramic plates be performed in order to eliminate
any residual accumulation of dust during the summer months. Other than this, there are no
maintenance requirements involved. In order to accomplish this, the front plastic panel must
be removed by removing the four screws and lifting up to release the panel from the top clip.
