SMH heaters: ideal for an open plan office

SMH’s low profile design is only 152mm in height making them very unobtrusive

The rugged SMH is well suited to industrial applications

SMH heaters free up wall space and area ideal for shops with solid ceilings 

Controls

Each heater can be controlled by one wall-mounted controller and/or one thermostat.

Do not use room thermostat with ‘T’ suffix models as these heaters already have a built-in thermostat with ‘open window detection’ feature.

6kW heaters have a built-in relay meaning that the minimum switching capacity of a suitable thermostat is reduced to 10A.

Control (models without built-in thermostat)

Temperature control can be provided by RST2-IN or RST-TP thermostat

Can be controlled by CS-7 wall mounted controller for on/off/high heat/low heat and fan only settings.  CS-7 can be used in conjunction with a room thermostat

In simple terms the output of the SMH heater or heaters must be greater than the heat losses from the building during periods of cold weather.  A small amount of heat is lost through the walls, ceilings and floors with more significant losses through windows and doors.

To estimate the heat loss from your building you may like to use our heat calculation tool

Heat Calculator

The estimated heat loss figure is the absolute minimum kW output that you should consider installing.  We would suggest adding approximately 50% to this figure to allow for an acceptable warm up time in cold conditions as well as making allowances for exceptional weather conditions and possible errors in the original data used in the estimate.

Having established the minimum kW output, select the minimum number of heaters needed to meet this requirement.

Model kW Voltage Recommended Mounting Height (m)
SMH-30(T) 3.0 230 2.4 to 3.0
SMH-30B 3.0 230 2.4 to 3.0
SHM-45(T) 4.5 230 3.0 to 4.0
SHM-60 6.0 230 2.4 to 3.0
