SBIOT240Autonomous compact IoT controller

Installation manual

Professional safety, mounting and wiring instructions for switchButler IoT DIN-rail controllers. Read the safety chapter before handling the device and always verify the installed model and hardware revision.

Safety first

Safety and permitted use

The controller is intended for professional electrical installations inside a suitable panel or enclosure. Installation, wiring, inspection and commissioning are reserved for qualified personnel.

01
Product identification
SBIOT240

SBIOT240 uses the mechanical and electrical platform of SMSB240EX, but SBIOT240 is a complete standalone IoT controller with its own firmware. It is not an expansion and does not require a base unit.

  • Two SPDT relay outputs and four programmable digital inputs in a two-module DIN enclosure.
  • Connects directly to switchButler IoT over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; there is no expansion channel or Bluetooth pairing procedure.
  • Contains no GSM/LTE module, accepts no SIM card, provides no SMS functions and does not support BTH1 sensors.
02
Connection diagram

The validated revision-specific drawing will be added here. Until then, use the following functional terminal groups together with the markings on the installed product; do not infer terminal order or orientation from photographs.

Power
12–24 V DC, positive and negative terminals as marked
Relay outputs
R1–R2, each with COM / NO / NC contacts
Digital inputs
I1–I4 with the dedicated input common on the final COM terminal
Input configuration
Enabled/disabled, contact or voltage logic, normal/reversed state and alarm/restore delays
03
Panel and DIN-rail mounting

Mount the IP20 controller on a 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) inside a closed electrical panel or another enclosure that provides the protection required by the installation environment.

  • Keep the installation free from moisture, conductive dust, corrosive substances and flammable gases or vapours.
  • Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, abrupt temperature changes and strong electromagnetic fields.
  • Respect the occupied width, operating temperature and clearances stated for the selected model and revision.
04
Power supply

Supply the controller with 12–24 V DC from a certified class-2 limited-power source (LPS), protected against reverse polarity and short circuit.

  • Observe polarity and the maximum consumption stated for the installed model.
  • Keep the power cable shorter than 2.9 m unless revision-specific documentation states otherwise.
  • Keep low-voltage wiring separated from hazardous-voltage circuits according to the applicable installation rules.
05
Relay outputs

Wire each SPDT output using the COM, NO and NC markings shown on the terminal diagram. Select NO or NC according to the required de-energized state; never infer the terminal order from a photograph.

  • Protect and size every load circuit within the rating stated for the installed hardware revision.
  • For hazardous-voltage loads, switch only the phase conductor and keep the same voltage category across adjacent relays.
  • Use an external contactor or interface relay when the load type, inrush current or required isolation exceeds the product rating.
06
Digital inputs

Connect the four or six programmable digital inputs only as shown by the terminal diagram for the selected model. SBIOT360 and SBIOT240 do not provide analogue inputs.

  • Use the dedicated input common at the final common terminal shown in the diagram; do not substitute the power-supply negative terminal.
  • Do not apply a voltage or signal type unless it is explicitly permitted by the revision-specific electrical data.
  • Keep input cables shorter than 2.9 m and use suitable shielding near strong electromagnetic fields.
07
Heating and thermostat applications

The controller is not a certified safety thermostat and must not replace a compliant physical thermostat, temperature limiter or other mandatory protective device.

  • Provide the independent thermostat or limiter required by the heating system design.
  • Define the safe relay state for loss of sensor data, loss of connectivity and controller restart.
  • Have the complete circuit and its fail-safe behaviour verified by qualified personnel before operation.
08
Wi-Fi and remote connectivity

The controller communicates with switchButler IoT over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The radio implementation and conformity documentation are model- and revision-specific.

  • Remote connectivity is an operational service and must never form the only safety chain.
  • Local behaviour during an Internet or platform outage follows the applied device configuration and firmware revision.
  • Install the antenna area away from metal screening and interference sources where required by the product documentation.
09
Front panel and operation

SBIOT240 has no display. Commissioning, configuration, monitoring and authorised commands are handled through switchButler IoT and the documented front-panel indications.

  • Do not follow SMSB240EX instructions for pairing, expansion channels or association with another controller.
  • Do not follow legacy switchButler instructions concerning SIM, GSM/LTE, antennas or SMS commands.
  • Use only the SBIOT240 firmware, product label and revision-specific terminal documentation.
