General Information This manual will instruct you in the installation and operation of the SmartBox™. Have a qualified installer review this manual with you so that you fully understand the controller and how it functions. When calling for technical service assistance, or for other specific information, always have the model number and serial number available. Contact your local L. B. White distributor or the L. B. White Co., Inc.
Component Identification, Part Number, and Function Control Reset Switch (570456) Powers up the SmartBox™for heating zone and allows the producer to reset the control back to day 1 for start of new cycle. Position from On to Off, then back to On. Relays (572811) Used for sending of power to the heaters in a specific heat zone. Fuses (572812) Used for protection of the electrical system of the programmable controller and the heater’s variable rate gas control valves.
Wiring Diagram Locating and Mounting Location -- Locate in a corridor or control room on the wall adjacent to or close to the existing room controller. See Fig.3. -- This area should be dry and not exposed to water washdown. -- The temperature in this area must be between 32F and 104F. FIG. 3 Mounting -- Use mounting tabs and screws provided with the SmartBox™at all corners of the box back. See Fig.4.
Sensor Location Each SmartBox™ controls two zones of heat, two heaters per zone . One SmartBox™sensor may be used for each zone of heat, however two sensors are used for optimum temperature management.. Use only the L.B.White SmartBox™ sensors provided with the SmartBox ™ , or order replacements as needed. Do not use sensors from other controller systems as these are not compatible with the L.B.White SmartBox™. See below for proper SmartBox™ sensor location. FIG.
Interconnection ■ Unlatch the control box cover, and open the control FIG. 7 panel. WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard ■ Disconnect the electrical supply before installation of the SmartBox™ . ■ Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury or death. ■ Select locations on either the side or the bottom where a wiring access holes may be drilled. Do not drill holes at the top of the control box. ■ Install the appropriate sized water tight connectors.
d. See Fig.10 for typical connections. Each SmartBox™ zone can control two heaters. FIG. 10 Connect 18 gauge 2 wire stranded cable between the the gray leads as shown in Fig.12 and the SmartBox™sensor. See page 6 for sensor location. Solder the connection between the SmartBox™ sensor and the 2 wire conductor. Wrap this connection with electrical tape. Use only the L.B.White SmartBox ™ sensors, part number 572815, provided with the SmartBox ™, or order replacements as needed.
Set Up and Programming TOUCH PAD CONTROL AND DISPLAY The touch pad control is an interface device used to program and operate the control. There are two touch pad controls. Either can be programmed to operate dif ferent rooms at dif ferent temperatures and schedules. Set-up for the touch pads is the same. See Fig. 13 as an example. BASIC ROOM CONTROL-TYPICAL SET-UP ■ The SmartBox ™ inter faces with an existing room controller that has an on/off heat control in order to provide variable rate heating.
INITIAL START-UP ■ Connect to a 120 VAC power supply. Set the reset switch to the ON position. It will take about 1 minute for the touch pad to display the following screen. (Note: The 1 minute wait occurs when first powered up only, not when just the reset switch is toggled) -- Display # 2 shows the actual room temperature for each zone plus the day in the temperature curve cycle. See Fig.17. FIG. 17 DAY HEAT LOAD % FIG. 14 ■ Press right soft key NEXT.
■ Press the center soft key EDIT. The following screen will be displayed. FIG. 20 ■ Using the up/down keys, select either “‘ENA” to enable the manual override or “dSA” to disable the override. ENABLE (Manual Mode) -- If enable is selected, press the right soft key NEXT and then up/down keys to set the temperature that will be maintained by the SmartBox™ .See Fig.21. -- Once the temperature has been selected , press the left soft key DONE. -- The system is now in manual override.
■ Once selected for Temperature Sensor 1, press right soft key NEXT, and repeat the same process for Temperature Sensor 2. ■ Press the left soft key DONE. ■ To continue set-up, press right soft key NEXT. The following screen is displayed. See Fig.26. CALIBRATING TEMPERATURE SENSORS This selection allows correlation between the room controller’s sensors and the SmartBox™ sensors. FIG. 26 ■ Press the center soft key EDIT. The following screen is displayed. FIG.
■ Use the up/down keys to set the start temperature. ■ Press the left soft key DONE. ■ Press the right soft key NEXT. The following screen is displayed. FIG. 30 ■ Press the center soft key EDIT. The following screen is displayed. FIG. 31 ■ Press the up/down keys to set the Period 2 day as determined with the temperature curve. ■ Press the right hand soft key NEXT. The following screen is displayed. Enter the desired set point for period 2 using the up/down keys. FIG.
Maintenance/Cleaning Instructions 1. Ensure all water tight connectors on the SmartBox™ are securely tightened. Check the interior of the box for any water/condensation which might have entered. Replace the connector if necessary. 3. Peridically check all wiring, associated terminals, and electrical components within the controller for corrosion, frayed or cut insulation, tight connections, etc. Repair or replace as necessary. 2.
RELAYS Two relays are mounted in the SmartBox™, each responsible for supplying power to a maximum of two heaters. FIG. 34 ZONE 2 RELAY 4 Lower relay: Supplies power to Zone 1 heaters. 6 1 8 Refer to Fig. 34 and following table for connection of wiring and voltage checks. The relays have numbers adjacent to the male 1/4 in. male connectors for reference. Terminal 2 4 6 8 0 1 0 2 Upper relay: Supplies power to Zone 2 heaters.
PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER Replacement a. Remove all individual wires from the terminal blocks and reconnect to the replacement controller or b. Remove the terminal blocks with the wiring intact from original controller and transfer the blocks to the replacement controller The controller requires 24 VAC for operation which can be checked at the terminals shown in Fig 37. (Without 24 VAC, the controller will not operate the SmartBox™) FIG.
Troubleshooting Instructions READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION BEFORE BEGINNING TO TROUBLESHOOT PROBLEMS. WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard ■ Troubleshooting this system may require operating the unit with line voltage present. Use extreme caution when working on the SmartBox™. ■ Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury or death. The troubleshooting flow charts on the following pages provide systematic procedures for isolating problems.
Yes Check breakers in building. Check power cord for tight connections and continuity. Check power outlet for defects, corrosion, etc. No Is 120 VAC delivered to Smart Box™? Cycle the power to the Smart Box™ OFF and then ON. If the LED remains steady ON, replace the controller. Check across brown wires at touch pad. If 18 VDC is absent, trace the wires back to the controller. Check for 18VDC at the controller terminals 5 and 6 (brown).
Heaters start but zone light is OFF Problem 6 Heaters do not start, zone light is OFF. Problem 5 Heaters do not start, zone light is ON. Problem 4 Green LED on programmable controller is blinking 0.5 seconds ON, 0.5 seconds OFF Red sensor failure light is on. Problem 3 Yes Zone LED is defective or poor electrical connecton between programmable controller and LED. Verify 24 VAC to zone LED. If present replace LED. If absent, repair wiring between programmable controller and LED.
No Are sensors located away from ventilation air inlets? Yes Yes Reposition the sensors. Refer to sensor location instructions in this manual. No Are SmartBox™ sensors positioned to the same height as the room control sensors? a. Check temperature curve for both the SmartBox™ and the room controller. Verify the temperatures match. b. Verify SmartBox™ is not setup in Manual Mode. Check the set-up procedures as needed. Ensure all sensors are located away from drafts, air inlets, cold spots, etc.
