Smart Sense

This heater uses Smart Sense

technology for variable

rate heat control. When integrated to a building controller
and L.B.White SmartBox

,

precise, automated control of the

environment is achieved by operating the heater over a
broad heat range. This provides better, more even
temperature distribution by allowing the heater to operate
where it needs to. This results in consistent temperatures
and reduced fuel consumption.

As shipped from the factory, the heater is wired to start
and operate at minimum heat. Connection to an
L . B . W h i t e SmartBoxa n d b u i l d i n g e n v i r o n m e n t
controller is required for further operation. See Fig.1 for
a typical system diagram.

Each SmartBox

controls two zones of heat, two heaters

per zone .

One sensor may be used for each zone of heat, however
two sensors are normally used for optimum temperature
management..

Sequence of Operation

a. 115 VAC is supplied to SmartBox.
b. Call for heat occurs from building controller.
c. Building controller closes heating contacts, and

energizes the SmartBox.

d. SmartBoxsends 115 VAC to heater and

simultaneously sends anywhere from 1-15 VDC to
Smart Sense variable rate gas control valve.

-- Variable rate valve opens at specific firing rate

to meet temperature demands

e. Ignition of gas occurs.

-- Room warms to desired temperature.

f. Building controller recognizes desired temperature has

been achieved.

g. Building controller disconnects signal from

SmartBox.

h. Heater shuts down. Process begins again on a call for

heat.
