SST6-PB 6kW Soft Start Timer Control for Infrared Heating
Product Code: SST6-PB
The SST Soft Start Timer is a fully weatherproof solution for controlling up to 6kW of electric heaters (such as infrared quartz halogen). It provides timed heat on demand delivering energy savings of up to 30%* by switching off automatically when unattended. The timer will also prolong the life of the heating elements through soft-start and soft-stop technology, thus reducing maintenance costs.
The SST6-PB is operated using an integral pushbutton, which features an LED indicator to ensure the button is easily located in the dark. When triggered, power is gradually applied to the heater over 3 seconds so avoiding large inrush currents and reducing stress to both the heating element and the electrical supply. The heater remains powered for the pre-set time period, set by an internal dial (fully adjustable from 5 to 60 minutes), before being automatically turned off in a similar manner.
The integral LED blinks to notify room users when there is less than 1 minute remaining of the time delay before the heater automatically switches off. The time delay may be reset with a brief press of the pushbutton. The timer can be cancelled at any time with a prolonged button press.
The unit is designed for outdoor installation, rated to IP65 and housed in a robust high-quality polycarbonate enclosure. All connections are made through preinstalled cable glands, and wall mounting is achieved via pre-drilled holes in the enclosure which maintain its ingress protection rating.
The SST6-PB can control a maximum load of 6kW and is supplied with 2 sets of integrated terminal blocks and cable glands for ease of installation. If more than two loads are to be connected to the timer this can be completed via a suitable junction box.
This 6kW Soft Start Timer is ideally suited to a number of applications, including retrofitting to existing equipment to achieve significant savings on energy usage and lamp replacement costs.
Ideal applications:
- Pub and beer gardens
- Restaurants and Hotels
- Patio and gardens
- Smoking shelters
- Outdoor event heaters
- Warehouse infrared halogen heaters
