SunStar 3-Position Switch Controller with 60-Minute Solid State Timer


The SunStar 3-Position Switch Controller with 60-Minute Timer (part 610550) combines two-stage heat control with an integrated solid-state countdown timer. Select High, Low, or Off, and the built-in 60-minute timer automatically shuts the heater off after the set time expires. This is ideal for commercial environments like restaurants, hotels, and bars where staff may forget to turn heaters off, or for residential users who want automatic shutoff for safety and fuel savings. The solid-state timer design has no moving parts for long-lasting reliability. Compatible with all SunStar GLASS series patio heaters.

The SunStar Advantage

SunStar GLASS represents the next generation of overhead gas infrared patio heating, engineered from the ground up by a dedicated team in Charlotte, North Carolina. Here is what sets SunStar apart from every other overhead gas heater on the market:

40 MPH Wind-Resistant Tinted Glass Face: The defining feature of SunStar GLASS. A high-temperature tinted glass panel protects the ceramic burner from wind gusts up to 40 MPH - far exceeding the wind tolerance of open-face competitors like Sunpak or standard infrared heaters. The tinted glass also enhances the heater's visual appeal, creating a sleek, modern aesthetic that blends into upscale architecture.

Two-Stage Output (Standard on Every Heater): Every SunStar GLASS heater ships factory-configured for two-stage operation. Start on High to warm a chilled patio quickly, then dial down to Low as guests get comfortable. This saves fuel and prevents overheating on milder evenings. Can also be jumpered for single-stage full-power operation.

Ceramic Infrared Burner Technology: SunStar uses a ceramic burner that produces clean, efficient infrared radiant energy. Like the warming rays of the sun, infrared heat warms people, tables, chairs, and floors directly at floor level rather than wastefully heating the surrounding air.

Versatile Mounting from 0 to 60 Degrees: SunStar heaters mount horizontally or at angles up to 60 degrees from horizontal, giving installers maximum flexibility to direct heat precisely into seating zones. Wall mount, ceiling mount, or pole mount configurations available.

Electronic Ignition with 120 VAC: Standard 120V electrical connection powers the electronic ignition system - no low-voltage transformer required like competing brands. Simple, reliable, and easy for your electrician to wire.

Weather-Resistant Construction: SGL models feature zinc-plated steel with high-temperature silicone powder-coated black paint. MGL marine grade models upgrade to 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in coastal and saltwater environments.

Made in the USA: Proudly engineered and manufactured in Charlotte, North Carolina by SunStar Heating Products.
