Heat Wrap
1. PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
1.1 Far infrared heating technology
Samitech’s Heat Wrap is the effective, practical, exible and portable solution to pest problems in
wood.
Heat Wrap technology is based on far infrared waves, emitted from heat panels. These waves
penetrate deeply into the wood surface or the surface of the object treated, directly attacking the
protein cells of the xylophages or insects that reside inside the wood, killing them by dehydration.
2
Heat Wrap from Samitech guarantees the effectiveness
in the elimination of the plague without damaging or
altering the state of the objects treated.
The objects to be treated with Heat Wrap can be of
any shape or size. The heat panels are made with a
material that uses textile nanotechnology, so they
can adapt to any shape, adhere to other panels and
cover different surface sizes without losing exibility,
resistance or treatment capacity.

2.1 Assembly
1. Each Heating Panel has a Velcro tape all around it, on the
upper side is the female Velcro, on the lower side is the male
Velcro. The panels can be united with this mechanism, it is
suitable for at surfaces, and it is even possible to wrap the
object to be treated with a single panel, uniting its male and
female Velcro straps.
2. Each Heating Panel has a total of 14 eyelets all around;
with the use of a stapler, the panels can be adhered to other
wooden surfaces, whether they are at or in any other shape.
The staples used in this procedure are so small that do not
cause any damage to the treated surface.
2. OPERATION MODE
This epigraph contains all the details required to set up the SAMITECH Heat Wrap Smart and get it ready
to carry out the treatment.
Before plugging in any part of the system, you must make sure you perform a full check of the cables for
any cuts or damages. If you nd any, then do not proceed with the treatment and inform us immediately.

2.2 ¡SHAPE IT AS YOU NEED IT!
No matter the shape or size of the surface or the object you want to treat with Heat Wrap Smart. Using one
or all of the panels, you can adapt the set to the surface in question. Using the Velcro tapes or the straps,
the operator can wrap or cover any surface.
5
To cover a big surface, the operator can place the
heating panels on top of it uniting them using the
Velcro tapes.
Wrap a beam or a column with a heating panel,
using the Velcro tapes.
The dust-guard (wood or carpet) of any wall can be
covered thanks to the exibility of the panels.

2.3 Connections
1. Once the surface or the object
to be treated is completely
covered up by the heating panels,
place the Control Box Unit close
to it and plug it to a power supply.
Make sure the cables reach to
cover the distance between the
object and the Smart Control
Unit and the socket.
Connect the data and power
cables to the Smart Control
Unit, each pair of cables must be
plugged in its number row.
2. If it is the rst time you connect the cables, you may have to shake
them into the connector to adjust the small parts.

1. Turn on the Touch-screen Tablet
and tap the SAMITECH icon.
2. Manage and control all the
conditions and treatment
settings. Save the report les and
treatments pictures.
2.5 Touch-screen tablet
If the product you have purchased does not include an Android device or if you want to use another device,
you can download the application from the Google Play service.
As for many other personal and industrial devices power saving is a must for extending battery life in our
electronic equipment.
Keeping the tablet screen on during the whole treatment duration will drain the tablet battery too fast.
The solution is so simple as keeping the screen off most of the time and turning it on only when it is really
needed. The treatment control will continue running in the background.
In order to avoid the high
battery consumption of the
tablet, it’s very important
to turn OFF the screen, and
turn it ON for treatment update
details.

The program performs a revision of the state of the heating panels, the connections and the basic conditions
of the treatment. The panels initiate their heating process: the treatment does not start until all the
panels reach the sufcient temperature to start the treatment.
At this point, the treatment times indicated by the operator, the time that the treatment has been running
and the time left till the end of the treatment are shown. At the end of the treatment, the app will give
you an estimation of the energy consumed during the process.

Once the treatment is over, a report is generated that can be completed by the operator with pictures of the objects
before and after the treatment. The operator can also include comments and nal observations on the treatment,
with any details that he considers important.
The Heat Bubble app gives you the possibility to share the nal PDF report (email, Bluetooth, etc.). The app also
allows for the modication of certain parameters, like the units of temperature, the symbol and format of the coin,
the kWh cost, and the logotype and the company’s contact info. All this information is included in the generated PDF
le.

4. REFERENCES FOR THE TREATMENTS DURATION
Each heat treatment in wood is different: duration times will depend on the object treated, the wood
(thickness, density and humidity) ; the type of plague to ght and where it is ubicated, and the results
that are expected.
The eggs of the insects are found in the interior of the wood, when they become larvae they seek the outer
layers of the wood, placing themselves in the rst layers of the inner cortex. In order to exterminate the
larvae the duration is normally less than when ghting the eggs, for which the duration of the treatment
can be increased thus preventing future plagues.
The reduction or increase of the treatment time must be made in a coherent way in order to avoid possible
damages in the wood.
