the electrical supply is connected to the Controller and Heater ground using a green sleeved
conductor.
•Do not connect the Controller or Heater ground connection to a live or “hot” conductor.
•Follow state, provincial, local and national electric codes (NEC) including field certifications

INTRODUCTION
The Solaira SMaRT 34-DV Variable Control has been engineered to work with Infrared Heaters, with a
maximum rating of 8.0kW @ 208-240V or 4.0kW @ 120V.
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 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 red button.
To reduce in increments, press and hold the red button until the desired number is reached
FEATURES
•Weatherproof control for exposed, wet conditions (it is the electricians responsibility to assure 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 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 set up:
Fahrenheit Celsius Fahrenheit Celsius
32.0 0.0 55.0 12.8
36.0 2.2 60.0 15.6
40.0 4.4 65.0 18.3
45.0 7.2 70.0 21.1
50.0 10.0 75.0 23.9
80.0 26.7
Infrared remote control interface which supports the Solaira SMaRT infrared remote control handset
(sold separately) which must be in line of sight of the controller.
Occupancy Sensor or Push button input (sold separately), which is used to re-trigger an internal "ON"
timer. The "ON" timer is configurable from 1-60 minutes by means of a trimmer potentiometer. If the
internal "ON" timer expires the load output is switched off.
Designed for optional remote, wired controller for use in dry, wall mount electrical box (sold
separately).
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/pushbutton 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 Monitor, the occupancy monitor should be mounted 8’ (2.5
+ Meters) above of the floor. Ceiling mounting is preferred but not essential. The Optional Occupancy monitor
must not be mounted directly in line with the heaters output, highly reflective surfaces, radiators or other
thermostatically controlled heaters or open door ways with people walking past.
WARNING: CONTROLLER MOUNTING
It is important that the controller is not mounted directly on any flammable
material i.e. wood AND in ventilated area free of flammable vapours or materials. It is
recommended that the heat sink be spaced off the mounting wall using pillars to aid in
heat dissipation.
INITIAL START UP WITH OPTIONAL OCCUPANCY SENSOR
•Optional Occupancy Sensor (sold separately), it takes 60 seconds to set before detection takes place
•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.
•Temperature trip point has already been pre-set at the factory.
•Timer is pre-set to 1 minute but can be adjusted using 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
Display shows "t" The unit is turned OFF as the ambient temperature is above the trip level set by
TEMPERATURE SETPOINT.
Display shows "0" The output is OFF
Display shows "1", "2", The unit is ON at the indicated power level
"3", "4"
Display shows ‘F The unit is set to FULL output.
Display flashing "." The "ON" timer has expired and is waiting to be re-triggered by the Occupancy
sensor (i.e. no movement detected for "ON" time) or the pushbutton.
Display shows "." The unit is in Standby mode pressing the optional fully on
remote control POWER button will toggle the power ON and OFF.
You can check the remote control is transmitting by observing the "." (dot) flashing rapidly.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
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.
Heater does not come on, flashing DOT…The controller is waiting for input from optional occupancy sensor
or pushbutton. If your system does not utilize the occupancy sensor or a pushbutton, then 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,
controller will not operate.

Trouble Shooting
Temperature Set Point
Temperature set point allows user to control the
MINIMUM TEMPERATURE for heaters to come
on. If the ambient temperature is above the
pre-set level, the heater control will show "t" and
WIL NOT TURN ON. You can reduce the minimum
temperature to 5⁰C
Temperature Sensor Input
For local temperature sensor input and optional remote
temperature sensor input. The local temperature sensor
is included with all SMaRT 34-DV controllers. If the user
wishes NOT to use the temperature monitoring feature,
simply disconnect the temperature sensor.
FLASHING DOT ON CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY
If the controller is used WITHOUT OPTIONAL OCCUPANCY SENSOR (PIR, Passive Infrared Sensor) or
Pushbutton timer, then "wire jumper" must be installed in pins SIG and COM as shown. If the jumper is
not installed, the controller senses an open circuit and will switch OFF. Your controller comes with the
jumper installed and it should only be removed when a sensor or pushbutton timer is installed.

Sensor (PIR)
