Features
. The SmartBox™maintains precise temperature thereby
reducing fuel consumption and improving animal
productivity and health. It is offered in configurations for
controlling forced air heaters, for controlling radiant
heaters, and for controlling both forced air and radiant
heaters.
■ Operator interface touch pad.
-- Sets manual operation
-- Allows setting the clock at initial set-up
-- Activates and operates sensors
-- Provides for installing and changing the
temperature management curve.
■ Handles up to 10 temperature set points with up
to 225 days per period.
-- Linearly ramps from one set point temperature
to the next over the duration days for that
period
■ Two temperature control zones
-- Up to two temperature sensors for each zone
-- One zone can handle two heaters
a. Zone 1 and Zone 2 are forced air
heaters.
■ Heat Enable
-- Used with forced air heaters
-- Connected to the room controller in a
manner to allow operation only when the
room controller determines a need for
heat.
-- Minimizes interference between
the heating and ventilation
systems.
■ Indicator Lights
-- Heat Zone On: Green Light
-- Sensor Failure: Red Light
a. Identifies sensor malfunction.
b. If one sensor fails in a zone controlled
by two sensors, the remaining sensor
allows continued operation.
-- Cycle Complete: Amber Light
■ Control Reset Switch
-- Allows the producer to reset the controller back
to day 1 for the start of a new cycle.
-- Position the switch to OFF and then to ON to
reset.
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.

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.
-- Use proper hardware to secure the SmartBox™to
the wall surface
-- Provide sufficient clearance to allow complete
opening of the SmartBox™cover.

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.
