Introduction
The Infresco-S 4kW is part of a family of controllers designed to provide energy saving when
used with Quartz Infrared Halogen Lamps or other Heating and Lighting Products. The ‘S’
model switches Soft Starts the load each time power is applied
The microcontroller-based unit 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%. Installation of the unit is simple and once installed is relatively maintenance-free.
Product Features
Extends Lamp Life.
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 Infresco-S 4kW 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! The unit must be orientated with the cable glands facing down.
Wiring
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).
Warning! Ensure all earth wires are connected to maintain earth continuity to the lamp
fittings. Isolate the mains supply before wiring this unit.
The unit is fitted with two cable glands. Only one cable should be fitted per gland to maintain
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 - particularly the line and load connections and make sure the cable glands
are tightened.

Commissioning
Set the on-time preset (VR1) to a time period of between 1 and 40 minutes. VR1 is located at
the top of the printed circuit board as shown above. Replace the lid and switch on the mains
supply to the unit. Press the push-button on the front of the unit to switch the lamps on.
