Infrared Heating | Heater Controller Infresco VR 1.5Kw Control (Fully Variable Version) X20084 1500W, 240v Optimal Control for Quartz Halogen Infrared Heat Lamps 0044 (0) 1704-516 501 enquiries@united-automation.com www.united-automation.com CONTACT US: KEY FEATURES: The INFRESCO-VR-1.5kW controller is designed for precise, variable control of mains-driven loads, specifically Quartz Halogen Infrared heat lamps, up to a total of 1.5kW. This advanced microcontroller-based unit features a ‘soft-start’ function that gradually switches on the lamp, eliminating the initial high inrush current and potentially extending lamp life by up to 30%. With easy-to-use up and down push-buttons, users can select output levels, indicated by a high-intensity LED that shows when the controller is regulating power to the lamp load. Additionally, a built-in relay override function ensures that at maximum power (100%), the relay bypasses the power devices to minimize heat dissipation, maintaining a lower operating temperature. The INFRESCO-VR-1.5kW controller is simple to install, low maintenance, and offers robust performance for a variety of settings.  Output Control: Variable power from 30% to 100% for customised comfort.  Simple Wall Mounting: Easy to install.  IP55 Protection: Suitable for outdoor use, protected against dust and water jets.  Soft-Start Function: Gradually switches on the lamp to extend its lifespan.  Simple In-Line Wiring: Straightforward setup using 3- core cables.  Pre-Selected Heat Output Levels: Multiple settings for optimal comfort.  Power Output Indication: High-intensity LED shows when power is being regulated.  Integral EMC Filter Suppression: Reduces electromagnetic interference.  Relay Override at Maximum Output: Minimises heat dissipation at full power. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Supply Voltage 230V AC +/-10% Supply Frequency 50Hz Load Rating (maximum) 6.5A (1.5kW @ 230V AC & 25°C ambient) Output Levels Variable from 30% to 100% Fusing or MCB Rating (external) 13A (Brown) Mains fuse or 16A domestic MCB IP Rating IP55 – Dust protection; protected against water jets Operating Temperature -20°C to 50°C Maximum Ambient Temperature 30°C Fixings 4 x 3.5Ø holes (on 97 x 82mm centres) Supply & Load Cable (recommended) 1.0mm² 400V AC (minimum rating) Terminal Cable Ratings 2.5mm² Terminal Torque Settings (maximum) 0.5 Nm Weight 500g Power Consumption (maximum) 70mA Isolation Voltage 2500V RMS APPLICATIONS:  Patio Areas: Provides targeted heating for outdoor spaces.  Smoking Shelters: Maintains comfort in smoking areas.  Restaurants: Enhance comfort in outdoor dining.  Warehouses: Keep large industrial spaces warm.  Workshops: Ensures reliable heating for work environments.  Garden Lighting: Controls lighting to enhance garden aesthetics.

  • Remove the four screws securing the front panel of the controller, being careful not to damage the ribbon connector attached to the internal circuit board. The front panel and ribbon connector can be disconnected for wall fixing.
  • Mount the controller securely and vertically on a solid wall using suitable wall fixings via the provided mounting holes. Warning: Do not drill additional holes in the enclosure as this compromises the IP rating and voids the warranty.
  • Avoid placing the controller where it may be exposed to water or direct sunlight.
  • Maintain an air gap between the wall and the metal heatsink/plate at the rear of the controller for adequate cooling. FUSING/PROTECTION: Protect the controller with either a 13A fuse and plug or a suitable remote Fuse/MCB within a distribution panel. WIRING:
  • DO NOT use more than one single 3-core cable per cable gland. Use separate cables for the supply connection and the load.
  • Loosen the cable glands and feed the cable through, ensuring each gland has the internal sealing grommet fitted to maintain the IP rating.
  • Strip back the outer insulation of the 3-core cable to approximately 40mm without damaging the individual cable insulation. Leave the Earth cable at 40mm and cut the remaining two cables back to 30mm. Strip each cable end back about 6mm and feed the whole cable through the correct cable gland.
  • Connect the cables to the correct terminals as marked on the printed circuit board, ensuring the Earth wire is at least 10mm longer than the other wires.
  • Tighten each cable gland, ensuring the rubber sealing grommet tightly grips the outer insulation of the cables.
  • Replace the front cover, ensuring the ribbon connector is securely fitted and the seal is properly seated in the lid's groove. COMMISSIONING
  • Ensure the cover is securely fitted to the unit and the load (lamp) is mounted and connected according to the provided instructions. Switch on the power to the controller.
  • The Red ‘Status’ LED indicator should remain off initially.
  • Press the ‘+’ button once to increase the output level to ‘Low’ and illuminate the Red ‘Status’ LED. Press the ‘+’ button three more times to reach full power.
  • Press the ‘-’ button to decrease the output levels one step at a time. The LED should be illuminated if there is power to the load (lamp).
