Introduction
The Solaira SMRTOCC40 4kW PIR is part of a family of controllers designed to provide energy saving when
used with Quartz Infrared Halogen Lamps. The ‘P’ model has a built in PIR sensor allowing the lamps to
automatically switch on only when people are present. In addition to the PIR, a temperature sensor monitors
the outside temperature and inhibits the lamps when the temperature exceeds a pre-determined set point of
between 1°C and 60°C.
The microcontroller-based system 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%. The lamps are
switched on for a fixed time period of 5 minutes. This period is reset each time the PIR detects any further
movement. Installation of the unit is simple and once installed is relatively maintenance-free.
Product Features
➢Energy saving –only provides heat when people are present.
➢Extends lamp Life.
➢Temperature Sensor –lamps inhibited when ambient temperature exceeds set point.
➢Soft-start/zero-voltage switch-off.
➢Low-cost.
➢Easy to install.
Applications: patio areas, smoking shelters, restaurants, warehouses, workshops and garden lighting.
Installation
Important: Read carefully the following information before installing the unit.
The passive infrared sensor (PIR) fitted in this unit detects changes of infrared energy through the Fresnel
lens on the front face of the unit. The detection area and range depend significantly on its mounting position.
The PIR not only detects movement of the human body, but also other heat sources similar to the human
body. To prevent false activation, the unit must not be located directly facing or in close proximity to the
heater lamps. Avoid locating the unit near to heating flues/exhausts, air conditioning units, moving
trees/bushes and reflective surfaces.
Note: The PIR cannot detect the presence of a human body that is not moving.
To prevent malfunction of the PIR sensor, avoid subjecting it to rapidly-changing temperatures, strong shock
or vibration or high humidity and temperature.
IMPORTANT! The unit must be orientated with the cable glands facing down.

Wiring
SAFETY FIRST
The Solaira SMaRT PIR is a high power electrical devise and MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED
ELECTRICIAN TO LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE.
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.
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 mains 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 lamps 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.

PIR Detection area
Horizontal
Vertical
Positioning
The Solaira SMRTOCC40 4kW PIR can be wall or ceiling-mounted. For wall mounting, the unit should be
positioned 1-3 metres high. The diagram above shows the PIR’s detection area.
The unit 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 on the
next page to locate the 4 mounting hole centres.
IMPORTANT! When wall mounting, the unit must be orientated with the cable glands facing down.

Commissioning
Turn the set point temperature preset (VR1) fully clockwise to select ‘walk test’ mode.
VR1 is located at the top of the printed circuit board as shown opposite.
Replace the lid and switch on the mains supply to the unit. The controller will remain idle for 60 seconds to
allow the PIR sensor to stabilise.
After 60 seconds, the detection area can be walk tested to verify the PIR’s coverage. Each time the PIR
detects sufficient movement, the lamps switch on for 5 seconds.
Note: Each time the lamps switch off, the PIR is inhibited for 5 seconds to prevent changes in infrared
energy, given off by the lamps, from causing a false activation.
Once the detection area has been verified, adjust the set point temperature as required. This will
automatically disable ‘walk test’ mode. The lamp on-time is fixed at 5 minutes.
Note: If the ambient temperature exceeds the set point temperature, the lamps are inhibited.
Mounting Template
Use these template dimensions to locate the
4 mounting-hole centres prior to drilling.
IMPORTANT!
Drilling of any holes through the
enclosure will immediately invalidate the
warranty of the unit.
The unit MUST be orientated with the
cable glands facing down.
