SMC-150 Digital Temperature Control
Installation Instructions
1.Pre-Installation - Control Location
a) The SMC-150 Control must be installed inside the steam-
room. For convenience the recommended height from the
floor is four feet. Provide a 1½" hole in the wall at this
location (see Figure 1).
IMPORTANT: Multi-conductor cable must be installed so
that the end will not be buried inside the wall. The unit will
not operate unless the control is installed.
2. Electrical Rough-in
a) Remove the multi-conductor cable from the control packing
box. Carefully route the multi-conductor control cable from
the steam generator to the SMC-150 located inside the
steamroom (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). Route multi-
conductor cable through a ¾" conduit to protect the cable
from damage and to facilitate replacement if necessary.
3. Control and Cable Installation
a) Locate the previously installed cable and black plastic strain
relief clamp which is in the control packing box. Locate the
knockout on the steam generator for the control cable (see
Figure 3).
b) Place strain relief around cable about seven inches from the
end and insert into the hole. Remove the protective covering
labeled “Remove Before Installation” from the modular jack
found on the PC board.
c) If SMC-150 is used in conjunction with the optional SMC-
120 control or Dual System, plug the splitter into the
modular jack; this will allow two cables to be plugged into
the PC board (see Figure 3).
IMPORTANT: When used with the optional
SMC-120 control or Dual System, the Steamist
supplied splitter must be used. Locally purchased
telephone splitters will NOT work and void the
warranty.
d) Remove the protective cap from the multi-
conductor cable plug. Connect the cable to the
modular jack.
e) Close and secure generator cover.
f) Locate Telco Jack at female coupler, on back of the
SMC-150 control. Remove the protective covering

Operating Instructions
Additional Features
Operation: Make sure the water and power are turned on.
Simply press the Start/Stop keypad to begin the previously
programmed cycle. Pressing the Start/Stop keypad a second
time will cancel the cycle. After a cycle is started it will take a
few minutes for the Steam Generator to heat up and begin
producing steam. During operation the display will show the
ambient temperature. The heat icon will cycle on and off as the
temperature is maintained.
Programming: Adjustments can be made to the temperature
control while the system is on or off. Any time the temperature is
displayed, it can be adjusted by simply pressing the Up or Down
keypad. All changes made to the temperature control are stored
in memory until changed again. The temperature range is 50°F
to 130°F (10°C to 55°C).
Figure 2 Figure 3
Installation & Operating Instructions
Memory: The temperature setpoint is retained
even if there is a power failure.
Fahrenheit/Celsius: The temperature display
may be changed to Fahrenheit or Celsius by
simultaneously pressing and holding the Up and
Down keypad for 5 seconds while the system is
off. The display will show the current setting “F”
or “C” and then alternate when the change is
complete.
Error Messages: This control is programmed
with a diagnostic feature to help isolate any
potential problems. Error messages E0, E1, E2
and E3 indicate a problem internal to the control.
If this occurs, the control should be repaired or
replaced. Error messages E4, E5 and E6
indicate a communication problem with the
steam generator. If this error occurs, check both
ends of the control cable for clean, dry and
secure connections. Dirty contacts can be
cleaned with alcohol and a cotton swab or a
toothbrush. This can also happen if the control
is not sealed and the cable connections get wet.
Operating Instructions Model: SMC-150
labeled “Remove Before Installation”. Remove protec-
tive cap from cable and plug into jack. Check that the
orientation of the plug properly aligns with the jack. A
snap will indicate the plug is installed correctly (see
Figure 3).
WARNING: Test the control for operation before
continuing on to the next step.
g) Peel adhesive liner from back of the control. Apply
the control to the wall. Press firmly and hold for a
few seconds.
h) After the control is in place, apply silicone (supplied)
around the control to form a watertight seal.
