Frequently Asked Questions - 6kW IR Control Infresco

How do I pair the remote with the controller?

Press and hold the 'Pair' button on the controller for 3 seconds until the LED blinks, then press any button on the remote within 10 seconds. The LED will stop blinking to confirm pairing.

What should I do if the controller does not respond to the remote?

First, check the batteries in the remote. If they are fine, ensure the controller is powered on and the IR receiver is not obstructed. Try re-pairing the remote as described in the manual.

Can I use this controller with a 3kW heater?

Yes, the controller is rated up to 6 kW, so it can safely control a 3 kW heater. Ensure the load is resistive and within the rated current.

Is the controller suitable for outdoor use?

No, the controller has an IP20 rating and is intended for indoor use only. Protect it from moisture and dust.

How do I set the desired temperature?

Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the remote or the controller itself to adjust the set temperature. The current setpoint is displayed via LED indicators.

What type of load can this controller handle?

It is designed for resistive loads such as electric heaters, up to 6 kW (26 A at 230 V). Do not use with inductive loads like motors.

Does the controller have a child lock?

Yes, press and hold the 'Lock' button for 5 seconds to activate child lock. The controller will ignore all button presses until unlocked.

How do I clean the controller?

Disconnect power first. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, cleaning agents, or abrasive materials.

What is the standby power consumption?

The standby power consumption is less than 0.5 W, making it energy-efficient even when not actively controlling.

Where can I find the user manual?

The user manual is available for free download on notice-facile.com in PDF format. You can also request a translated version by selecting your language and providing your email.

WARNING

It is important that the Infresco IR is not mounted directly to any flammable material i.e. wood.

It is recommended that the heatsink be spaced off any the mounting wall using pillars to aid in heat

dissipation

It is recommended that installation and maintenance of this equipment should be done with reference to the current edition of the I.E.E. wiring regulations (BS7671) by suitably qualified/trained personnel.

These regulations contain important requirements regarding safety of electrical equipment (for International Standards refer to I.E.C/ directive IEC950).

INTRODUCTION

The Infresco has been designed specifically to work with Infra Red Heaters, with a rating of 4kW it will allow you to control a variety of heating and lighting solution.

The Infresco has a 1 to 10 step setting allowing you to find the optimum comfort setting in you specific area. With energy saving a major factor in the design brief, once the Infresco is switched on it will automatically manage the heating system. With a built in temperature sensor only allowing the unit to switch on when required and a PIR that will detect a requirement for the heater to switch on only when needed. An optional remote control allows for the unit to be fitted out of the way so safety is paramount. The Infresco has a built in soft start function which will add up to an additional 30% life to your heater lamp.

APPLICATIONS

Any application were high inrush current is an issue or control is required. Typical use is for Infra Red Heating lamps, Garden lighting.

FEATURES

Soft Start - up to 30% extended life of Lamp

Variable Control – Ability to find comfort level

Simple Installation – Ability to plug directly in 13A Plug with up to 3kW load

Energy Saving – Automated system. (Only heat when required)

Temperature Monitoring – If ambient temperature is above preset the Infresco unit remains

switched off

SAFETY FIRST

Please read these instructions before installing and operating this product. (See warning for additional information).

Installation

The ideal site for the PIR to be mounted is approximately 2.5 + Meters of the floor. Ceiling mounting is preferred but not essential.

The PIR must not be mounted.

• Directly in line of the lamps output

• Highly reflective surfaces

- Radiators or other thermostatically controlled heaters

- Open door ways with people walking past

Commissioning

NOTE: On switch on the PIR takes 60 seconds to set before detection takes place

NOTE: The PIR continues to monitor the area and will reset to the set time every time it detects movement.

Before testing ensure the wiring is correct. The temperature trip point has already been preset at the factory. The timer is preset to 5 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 Infresco is turned OFF as the ambient temperature

is above the trip level set by TEMP. SET.

Display shows 'F' The Infresco is set to FULL output.

Display decimal point pulses The PIR input is waiting to be enabled i.e. no movement.

Display decimal point fully on The Infresco is in Standby mode pressing the remote

control POWER button will toggle the power ON and OFF.

You can check the remote control is transmitting by observing the decimal point flashing rapidly.
