Product Code: SST6-RSW
The SST6-RSW Soft Start Controller is a fully weatherproof solution for controlling up to 6kW of electric heaters (such as infrared quartz halogen). Designed to augment an existing simple on/off switch the unit will prolong the life of the heating elements through soft-start and soft-stop technology, thus reducing maintenance costs.
The SST6-RSW is operated by connecting any suitable latching action switch (e.g. a conventional light switch**) which delivers greater flexibility in the style and placement of controls. When turned on, 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. When the switch is returned to the off position, the heater is turned off in a similar manner.
Designed for safety the remote switch connection terminals are low voltage and isolated from the mains supply. This ensures that the control switch remains safe for use at all times.
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-RSW 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.
Typical applications for the 6kW Soft Start Controller include:
* Based on typical usage estimates.

Product Code: IPTDS2
The IP65 Rated Time Delay Switches have been designed to switch external lighting and heating on at the press of a button and automatically off after a pre-determined duration has elapsed. read more
Product Code: SST6-PB
The SST6-PB is a fully weatherproof Soft Start Timer which provides timed control of infrared and quartz halogen heating up to 6kW prolonging the life of heating elements and reducing energy consumption by up to 30%. It features an integral pushbutton to control the unit, while an LED facilitates location of the pushbutton in the dark, and indicates the status of control (flashing to show when less than one minute remains before the unit will automatically switch off). read more
Product Code: SST6-RPB
The SST6-RPB is a fully weatherproof Soft Start Timer to control up to 6kW infrared and quartz halogen heating loads while prolonging the life of heating elements and reducing energy consumption by up to 30%. Designed for remote activation this timer is equipped with low voltage terminals which are isolated from the mains to provide a safe connection for a remote pushbutton. read more
